Elements, also known as Attributes, are a big part of Wuthering Waves’ combat. However, unlike in many other games with elements, the Attributes in Wuthering Waves function a little bit differently.
Below, you’ll find a full list of Attributes in Wuthering Waves and how they work. Keep in mind that this information is based on the Closed Beta Tests and could change in the future.
How Attributes work in Wuthering Waves
The combat in Wuthering Waves is what makes the game stand out. It’s not just a slasher where you mindlessly spam attack buttons. There are parries, dodges, and i-frames you have to learn to become good at the game. You fight using Resonators—playable characters, each with a unique set of skills and one of the six Resonance Attributes.
If you’re like me and played games like Genshin Impact, where reactions between different elements are at the core of the combat, prepare for something different. According to players who participated in the closed beta tests, there are no reactions between Attributes in Wuthering Waves. For the most part, the choice of a character with a specific Attribute depends on the enemy and its resistance to the said Attribute.
