The highly anticipated gacha game Wuthering Waves releases on May 22 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (UTC-8). The game client is available for pre-load starting May 21. Fans are actively discussing the rating of 5-star heroes and compiling tier lists for the most desirable characters to obtain in gacha.

Many prefer Encore — a long-range DPS who switches to melee combat when activating her ultimate. In addition to her versatile abilities, fans are attracted to her loli design.

Based on preliminary reviews, the impression is that the most desirable characters at launch are Encore, Jianxin, and Verina. Lingyang, on the other hand, may turn out to be one of the least popular heroes. However, the final character tier list will undoubtedly take shape only after the game's release.

  • Jianxin is popular thanks to her design and animations. Many hope to build a team around her.
  • Encore is also popular due to her cute design and interesting playstyle.
  • Verina is a strong support that many want to strengthen their team, recommended even more than legendary DPS.
  • Some in the community fear that Calcharo will become the "new Diluc". However, it's important to note that the meta in such games changes rapidly, and the character will perform exceptionally well at launch.
  • Lingyang is the least popular character due to his controversial design and rumors of clunky gameplay.
