Okay, so I’ve been messing around with “Wuthering Waves” and trying to figure out the whole sub DPS thing. Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey, but I think I’ve finally cracked the code, at least for my playstyle.
First, I jumped into the game, obviously. I had my main DPS, all leveled up and ready to go, but I felt like something was missing. My damage output was okay, but not amazing, you know?

So, I started looking into sub DPS characters. The idea is they aren’t your main damage dealer, but they provide buffs, debuffs, or extra hits while your main character is recharging or setting up. I’ve try to pick up several characters to test.
My Experiment
- First, I experimented with a few different characters. Some were clearly meant to be main DPS, so I ditched those pretty quick. Others seemed promising, with skills that boosted attack or applied elemental effects.
- Then, I dove into their skill descriptions. Like, really read them. I’m embarrassed to admit how often I just skim these things, but it’s super important to understand what each character actually does.
- I try to change different attributes to see if there be some difference.
- Next, I took them into some test runs. I started with some easy mobs, just to get a feel for their rotations. How often could I use their skills? Did they synergize well with my main DPS?
Honestly, it was a lot of trial and error. I swapped characters in and out, tried different skill combinations, and paid close attention to the damage numbers popping up on the screen. It was a bit tedious, but hey, that’s how you figure things out, right?
The result
After all that messing around, I finally found a sub DPS that clicked. It is amazing! Their skills perfectly complement my main DPS, and I’m seeing a significant increase in my overall damage. It’s like, everything just flows together now.
So, that’s my sub DPS journey in “Wuthering Waves”. It took some time and effort, but it was definitely worth it. If you’re feeling like your damage is lacking, I highly recommend taking the time to explore the sub DPS options. You might be surprised at what you discover!
