Greatest Phoebe construct in Wuthering Waves

Phoebe is a extremely distinctive character in that she has two separate stance stances that actively decide her function. She is a Spectro Predominant DPS when in her Absolution stance, and a Spectro Sub-DPS when in her Confession stance. Extra on her stances shortly. Her weapon of alternative is the Rectifier, and she or he is targeted on dealing ranged harm.

Earlier than we will dive into Phoebe’s core recreation plan, you want to perceive precisely how her somewhat full package works together with the Spectro Frazzle debuff.

Spectro Frazzle

Spectro Frazzle is a DoT (Injury over Time) standing that stacks up 10 instances, and a ‘tick’ will scale back that stack by one. Every ‘tick’ offers harm based mostly on what number of stacks are at present lively on the goal.

Phoebe’s harm, as a Predominant DPS, is utterly reliant on a goal having a minimum of one Spectro Frazzle stack utilized to them. It is because Phoebe’s strongest DPS software, Heavy Assault: Starflash, positive factors a walloping 256% DMG Amplification to targets troubled with Spectro Frazzle, whereas she is in Absolution stance. That is the only most necessary side of Phoebe’s package, so bear in mind it as I proceed. Whereas in Confession stance, Phoebe’s Heavy Assault: Starflash, as a substitute, applies 5 Spectro Frazzle to all targets hit.

Absolution Stance

Absolution is Phoebe’s Predominant DPS stance, and the one she can be in for a majority of her on-field time. Phoebe can select to enter Absolution Stance each 24 seconds by holding Heavy Assault, which permits her to forged Heavy Assault: Starflash 4 instances. You need all 4 Starflashes to land whereas your goal has Spectro Frazzle on them. In any other case, Phoebe’s harm can be fairly poor and underwhelming. In abstract:

• Maintain Heavy Assault to enter Absolution Stance
• Fundamental Assault till you need to use Heavy Assault: Starflash
• Use Heavy Assault: Starflash on enemies with Spectro Frazzle
• Heavy Assault: Starflash can be utilized 4 instances
• Heavy Assault: Starflash offers 254% extra harm to Spectro Frazzle targets

Confession Stance

Confession is Phoebe’s Sub-DPS stance and the one which Phoebe is not going to be in for many rotations. Phoebe can select to enter Confession stance each 24 seconds by holding Ability, which permits Phoebe’s Heavy Assault: Starflash may be forged two instances, with each making use of 5 stacks of Spectro Frazzle on targets hit. Confession stance Starflashes don’t deal a lot harm, consequently, as the purpose is the Spectro Frazzle software. You need to land each Starflashes in order that the goal(s) have the utmost quantity of Spectro Frazzle stacks, which is 10. In abstract:

• Maintain Ability to enter Confession Stance
• Fundamental Assault till you need to use Heavy Assault: Starflash
• Heavy Assault: Starflash can used twice
• Heavy Assault: Starflash applies 5 stacks of Spectro Frazzle every.

Forte Circuit

Now that you just perceive Spectro Frazzle and Phoebe’s two stances, it’s time to speak about her two Forte Circuit mechanics: Divine Voice and Prayer.

Prayer is what determines when Phoebe is allowed to enter one in all her two stances. Prayer fills up over time, and when it’s full, Phoebe can enter both Absolution or Confession stance. Whenever you invoke one in all her stances, it takes 24 seconds earlier than Prayer fills again as much as full, thus permitting you the choice of getting into one stance as soon as extra.

Divine Voice is the second a part of her Forte, and it determines what number of instances Phoebe can forged Heavy Assault: Starflash when in Absolution or Confession stance. Phoebe can solely achieve Divine Voice whereas:

• Whereas she is in a Stance
• Following her third Fundamental ATK in a string

Solely after each standards above are met will Phoebe be capable to forged Heavy Assault: Starflash.

Resonance Ability

Phoebe’s Resonance Ability locations a big yellow circle on the bottom close by or at a goal’s location. This circle will trigger enemies inside to stagnate for 2 seconds, stopping all motion totally. Word that enemies transferring out and in of the circle is not going to trigger the stagnation impact. For enemies to be affected by stagnate, they will need to have been throughout the circle’s AoE in the mean time of the forged. Stagnate works on bosses.

When Phoebe assaults from exterior of the circle and hits it, her assaults bounce off the circle’s inside edges, dealing bonus harm and grouping enemies towards the middle. When Phoebe assaults from inside the circle, her fundamental assaults deal extra harm to all enemies, and her assaults and achieve considerably elevated AoE. Ideally, Phoebe ought to be inside her circle as a lot as attainable for most DPS when attacking.

Utilizing her Resonance Ability once more following a earlier forged (inside 10 seconds) will enable Phoebe to teleport to the middle of the circle. In the course of the preliminary forged animation till the teleportation animation ends, Phoebe is impervious to all harm.

Resonance Liberation

Phoebe’s Resonance Liberation is nothing complicated. She invokes an enormous Spectro nuke in a giant AoE round herself that offers a bunch of harm. Nonetheless, the stance Phoebe is in when casting it does dramatically change its results.

• Absolution Stance – Offers 255% extra Injury
• Confession Stance – Applies eight stacks of Spectro Frazzle to all targets hit.

You’ll want to be in Absolution Stance in a majority of circumstances earlier than you employ Phoebe’s Resonance Liberation for optimum harm.

Absolution vs Confession Stance

Phoebe requires Spectro Frazzle to deal vital harm in Absolution stance, however she can not apply Spectro Frazzle until she is in Confession Stance. Because of this Phoebe should open in Confession stance and, after 24 seconds, enter Absolution stance to deal her harm. This isn’t environment friendly.

As an alternative, have Phoebe in Absolution Stance always and pair with a teammate who can apply Spectro Frazzle. Phoebe ought to be paired with Spectro Rover, in order that she will be able to perform successfully. It will possible change as new Resonators are launched. Nonetheless, Phoebe will all the time want a teammate who can apply Spectro Frazzle to perform as a important DPS. Future characters possible will give her Confession stance a use case, however for now, simply use Absolution stance.

In Abstract

Phoebe’s total rotation is as follows:

• Intro Ability
• Enter Absolution Stance
• Forged Resonance Ability
• Fundamental ATK to achieve Divine Voice
• Forged Heavy Assault: Starflash 4 instances
• Resonance Liberation
• Outro

That is Phoebe’s very normal rotation each time she is thrown into the sector, and what you need to adhere to as a lot as attainable. Nonetheless, if, for any cause, your enemy doesn’t have Spectro Frazzle utilized, don’t proceed the rotation till they do. I need to stress that Phoebe’s harm is extraordinarily poor if Spectro Frazzle isn’t utilized to the enemy(s) she is attacking and isn’t definitely worth the rotation time or Forte wasted.

Nonetheless, since Phoebe positive factors a lot harm from a goal affected by Spectro Frazzle, she doesn’t want Outro buffs from different characters to carry out nicely. This enables her to make use of distinctive twin DPS crew comps as a substitute of your normal Sub-DPS/Help setup. Spectro Rover, nevertheless, is non-negotiable due to their capability to use Spectro Frazzle.

Phoebe, Spectro Rover, Verina

That is one in all Phoebe’s strongest crew comps, and it’s also very cheap to get functioning.

At the moment, Phoebe is the one DPS character in Wuthering Waves with this distinctive profit.

• Prayer to the Distant Gentle (S5) – When casting Phoebe’s Intro Ability, she positive factors 12% Spectro DMG for 15 seconds. That is Phoebe’s weakest Sequence and isn’t price going for until you’re going for her S6.
• Whispering Chirps in Silence (S6) – There’s a little bit of jargon on this one, however to get to the purpose: her S6 causes her Resonance Ability’s stagnation impact to final double the time, and each time she casts her Resonance Ability, she will get to forged a free Starflash with out utilizing any of her assets. She additionally positive factors a free 10% ATK bonus for 20 seconds. This does enhance her harm fairly a bit, however when in comparison with different S6 characters, it’s somewhat lackluster. Nonetheless, the stagnation impact is extremely highly effective, so this S6 is extra concerning the utility than the harm.
