Augusta Wuthering Waves Guide – Best Builds, Teams & More!

Augusta, the newest five-star Electro DPS resonator in Wuthering Waves, is finally here. Known for her time-stopping liberation, Augusta can freeze enemies in place and deal massive damage. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to start using Augusta effectively: her skills, rotations, builds, weapons, and team setups.

Augusta’s Kit and Rotations

Augusta’s kit is one of the most complex in the game. She has three main meters to manage:

• Prowess (purple bar): fills through basic attacks and some skills.
• Ascendancy (gold circle): generated by her skills and heavy attack combos.
• Majesty (gold bar): required to trigger her time-freeze liberation.

The goal is to fill Augusta’s gold circle to generate gold bars, which allow her to use her hold liberation and freeze time. A basic rotation is:

1. Intro skill on the field
2. Heavy attack → basic attack combo
3. Regular resonance skill and Liberation 1
4. Another heavy attack → basic attack
5. Enhanced skill three times (Forte)
6. Hold liberation for time freeze
7. Optional echo and outro skill

It’s important not to swap out the character affected by Augusta’s outro buff until their outro is performed, or you may lose a gold bar.

Recommended Echo Sets

• Three-piece: Crown of Valor – boosts attack and crit damage when shields are active
• Two-piece: Void Thunder – decent substitute is Lingering Tunes
• Stat priority: Crit rate > Crit damage > Attack %, with heavy attack stats also useful

Weapons

Augusta’s signature weapon is Thunder Flare Dominion, but alternatives include:

• Verdon Summit (from Gian)
• Lustrous Razor (free-to-play friendly)
• Four-star options: Aureate Zenith, AutumnTrace

Sequence upgrades prioritize Sequence 2 for crit conversion, followed by Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 for team-wide attack boosts.

Team Recommendations

Augusta is flexible in team setups:

• Free-to-play team: Augusta + Mortefi + healer (Shorekeeper or Verina)
• Works with dual DPS setups, e.g., Augusta + Carlotta, to amplify damage via her outro
• Supports characters benefiting from heavy attack buffs

Augusta performs well in solo rotations and cooperative teams. She can freeze enemy actions, interrupting their abilities while allowing allies to safely deal damage. Her mechanics reward careful timing but are very effective once mastered.

Augusta is a powerful and versatile Electro DPS in Wuthering Waves. Her time-freeze mechanic, flexible team usage, and strong DPS potential make her an exciting addition to any roster. Focus on mastering her rotations, using the right echo sets, and pairing her with compatible teammates for maximum efficiency.
