Carlotta is a very powerful 5-star character in Wuthering Waves, specializing in dishing out massive single-target damage. She is the first pistol-wielding character in the game and has a unique playstyle revolving around stacking her Final Power-Up before unleashing a barrage of powerful attacks culminating in a devastating ultimate ability. This high-risk, high-reward approach effectively one-shots weaker enemies but requires careful planning and strategic character switching to maximize her effectiveness against groups.
Carlotta in WuWa
Carlotta is a brand-new 5-star character in Wuthering Waves, and she’s the first pistol-wielding character that’s a bit special. She’s designed to deal massive damage, especially when she unleashes her ultimate ability. To play Carlotta effectively, you have to stack up her final power-up before firing off a burst of heavy-hitting attacks into a devastating blow. Such gameplay is pretty relevant in this title, because rapid switching between the characters plays an important role in this game. This character excels at one-shotting weak, single targets, but the groups aren’t impressed by Carlotta’s damage, and abilities, when summoned, have really long cooldowns; thus, there is some necessary planning with this character’s abilities.
Best Weapons for Carlotta
The best weapon for Carlotta is ‘The Last Dance,’ which enhances her ultimate damage by a huge margin. In case you don’t have this weapon, the other alternative weapon that you can use is ‘Static Mist.’ It will give her an increased overall attack power and also accelerate her special ability recharge.
For players who prefer to play free of charge, 4-star ‘Thunderbolt’ and ‘Undying Flame’ is a good ultimate damage booster while 3-star ‘Guardian Pistol’ is suitable for new users.
Best Echos for Carlotta
Carlotta’s strength lies in maximizing the damage of her ultimate ability and her ice-based attacks. To do this, you need specific gear. The new ‘Frosty Resolve’ gear set is perfect for her. It significantly increases both her ultimate damage and her ice damage when fully activated. Activating this set is easy with how Carlotta plays.
When using this set, the ‘Sentry Construct’ is the best companion. This special equipment is designed to work perfectly with ‘Frosty Resolve’ and provides significant benefits. If you’re still working on getting the best gear (‘Frosty Resolve’) for Carlotta, ‘Freezing Frost’ is a good temporary option. It increases her ice-based damage by a significant amount.
When using ‘Freezing Frost,’ ‘Lampylumen’ is the best companion equipment to maximize its effectiveness. While ‘Freezing Frost’ is decent, you should aim to get ‘Frosty Resolve’ eventually to make Carlotta even stronger.
When choosing special equipment (echoes) for Carlotta:
- Strongest echoes: Focus on increasing her critical hit chance or critical damage, whichever helps her deal more damage overall.
- Mid-tier echoes: Choose between increasing her overall attack power or her ice-based damage. Generally, increasing attack power is better, unless you already have a lot of attack power from other sources.
- Weakest echoes: Increase her overall attack power.
When looking at the extra stats on your equipment:
- Most important: Critical damage, critical hit chance, and attack power.
- Less important, but still helpful: Damage for her ultimate ability, and the speed at which her special abilities recharge.
It’s important to make sure you can use her ultimate ability frequently, as this activates many of her bonuses and special effects.
Forte Priority for Carlotta
Carlotta’s main source of damage is her Resonance Skill, so you’ll want to prioritize upgrading that first. Afterward, focus on her Resonance Liberation. The recommended skill upgrade order is as follows:
- Resonance Skill
- Resonance Liberation
- Forte
- Basic Attack
- Intro Skill
