Calcharo is a five-star Electro user and a Broadblade wielder in Wuthering Waves, whose character kit makes him the best DPS unit in version 1.0.
As such, we have prepared this detailed Calcharo best build guide to ensure you can fully maximize his potential.
How to get Calcharo in Wuthering Waves
Previously, the only way to get Calcharo is through the Beginner’s Choice Convene or the Standard Character Convene banners.
Thanks to the free gacha pulls, a five-star character selector, and other freebies from developer Kuro Games in the wake of the ongoing issues within the game, you can easily get Calcharo if you haven’t already.
Calcharo best build: Best weapons
The best weapon for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves is the five-star Broadblade, Lustrous Razor, which increases Energy Regen and Resonance Liberation DMG while providing a massive boost to ATK% through its sub-stat.
That said, while Jiyan’s signature weapon, the Verdant Summit, is also a great choice for Calcharo, the Lustrous Razor comes on top when you compare the raw damage numbers for both weapons at S1.
Now, when it comes to a four-star Broadblade, the best one for Calcharo is the Autumntrace, as it provides a CRIT Rate%-based sub stat while boosting ATK%.
We recommend going for the abovementioned weapons. However, if you don’t have them, you can also use these:
- Helios Cleaver
- Broadblade#41
- Broadblade of Night
Calcharo best build: Best Echo sets
The best Echo set for Calcharo is Void Thunder, as it buffs the Electro DMG to a great extent when you have all five pieces equipped.
On the other hand, the Lingering Tunes Echo set dramatically increases the ATK%, making it yet another great option.
| ECHO SET | SET BONUS |
| Void Thunder | 2 set bonus: Electro DMG +10%.5 set bonus: Electro DMG +15% after releasing Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill. This effect stacks up to 2 times, each stack lasts 15s. |
