by Encore is a 5-star character from Wuthering Waves and is one of those available in the permanent banner, so he is one of the easiest 5-star characters to get and the truth is that in my opinion he is one of the best characters of the permanent in this game.
She is a quite interesting Main DPS (in my opinion the best Main DPS of the Permanent) since she has melee and ranged skills, she usually attacks using a kind of sheep puppets that give a pretty bad vibe. The most relevant thing about her kit is that by using Resonance Release she will enter an enhanced state that will change most of her abilities and they will become more powerful. Outside of this enhanced mode, the character is not as worth it.
In addition, she has a powerful Enhanced Charged ATK that we can perform if we fill her entire horizontal energy bar that will take a long time to channel, but luckily, we can rotate to another character and that will not prevent her from continuing to channel that ability into her roll.
ENCORE SKILLS
BASIC ATK: WOOLY’S ATK
- Basic ATK : Combo of 4 consecutive attacks.
- Basic ATK – Wooly Strike : Performed after the fourth hit of the basic combo. We will cast a large Wooly that deals damage in a small area.
- Charged ATK : We will launch a projectile at the enemy. Consumes stamina.
- Air ATK : Aerial downward attack that consumes stamina and deals damage in a small area upon impact with the ground.
- Evasive Counter : You must perform a basic attack after performing a perfect dodge to perform a powerful counterattack.
RESONANCE SKILL: FLAMING WOOLIES
- Flaming Woolies : We will quickly launch 8 projectiles that cause little damage to the target.
- Energy Splash : If you use the Resonance Skill again after finishing “Flaming Woolies”, you will finish with a powerful blow.
FORTE CIRCUIT: BLACK AND WHITE WOOLIES
It is activated using a Charged ATK having charged the entire horizontal bar of energy (this bar is called “Discordance”), the attack changes a little if you use it in normal mode or in the enhanced mode of Resonance Release. In both cases we will make an attack that will take a long time to channel, so your best bet will be to change to another character since this will not cancel the attack .
- Charged ATK – Cloudy’s Frenzy : Consumes all the “Discordance” to perform a powerful attack that takes a long time to cast (while cast it reduces the damage received by 70%, but it is better to switch to another character).
- Charged ATK – Cosmos Rupture : Similar to the previous one but we will cause damage between the attack being channeled and ending with an even more powerful blow. Again, the ideal would be to change to another character.
RESONANCE RELEASE: COSMOS RAVE
Encore will enter a powered state called “Cosmos Rave” in which most of his abilities will change their animation and become more powerful . This mode lasts 10s and can be used every 16s. 125 Resonant Energy cost.
INTRO SKILL: WOOLIES CAN HELP!
Encore will enter the battlefield delivering a fairly powerful blow.
FINAL ABILITY: THERMAL FIELD
It will create a 3 meter field around the target that will deal damage every 1.5s for 6s to all enemies it hits.
INHERENT SKILLS: PASSIVE
- Angry Cosmos : +10% damage if Encore’s HP is above 70% during its Resonance Release boosted mode.
- Woolies Dance of Joy : +10% fusion damage for 10s when using the Resonance Skill (also if you use it in the enhanced mode of Resonance Release).
WAVE BANDS
- BO1 – Wooly’s Fairy Tale : +3% fusion damage on hit with Basic ATK for 6s. Can stack up to 4 times.
- BO2 – Lullaby : Restores 10 Resonance Energy when casting Basic ATK or Resonance Skill. It can only occur once every 10s.
- BO3 – Fog? The Black Coast! : Increases the damage multiplier of the Forte’s Circuit Empowered Charged ATK by 40% (when you consume the horizontal energy bar).
- BO4 – Adventure? Come on! : Empowered Charged ATK during the Resonance Release buff grants 20% bonus fusion damage to the entire team for 30s.
- BO5 – The Hero Takes the Stage! : Increases the damage bonus of the Resonance Skill by 35%.
- BO6 – Woolies Save the World! : During his Resonance Release boosted mode, Encore gains +5% ATK for 10s each time he deals damage, stacking up to 5 times.
HOW TO PLAY ENCORE
Encore is a Main DPS that stands out for its very good damage during its enhanced mode that is activated when using Resonance Release, but outside of this mode it does not cause as much damage as other Main DPS . The idea is to make the most of the Resonance Release (ideally having given it all the possible buffs ) by attacking all the time during its duration and ending with an Empowered Charged ATK (if you have a full horizontal energy bar) to quickly rotate other characters .
If you don’t have your Resonance Release charged, I recommend that you attack for a while and use the Resonance Skill when you can until you can use another character’s Enter Skill to rotate. The point is that it’s not worth spending too much time in the field if you’re not in Resonance Release mode.
