Best characters to summon in Wuthering Waves 2.3 Phase 2

1) Ciaccona

Wuthering Waves’ Ciaccona isn’t a must-have Resonator. However, she is among the best characters to summon in the second phase of the patch. She has a future-proof kit, which could aid upcoming Aero units like Cartetheiya.

Besides, Ciaccona could be a powerful sub-DPS for teams that don't have a final member. She also shines in a Zani and Phoebe team, given her ability to apply a fair amount of Spectro Frazzle via Resonance Liberation. Moreover, Ciaccona boasts a unique gameplay involving summons and air combos.

2) Carlotta

A hypercarry like Carlotta is capable of tackling any enemy in the game. Despite wielding a pistol, she can launch AoE attacks rivaling some of the top DPS in the game. Just pair her with Zezhi to gain additional Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG.

If you don't have Shorekeeper, use any sustain characters on Carlotta's team. She has better survivability given her mobility and ranged combat potential.

3) Brant

Like Ciaccona, Brant in Wuthering Waves isn’t an essential character to have. However, he is a powerful companion for Fusion teams. He can output massive damage as a sub-DPS and further heal allies, meaning you skip a dedicated sustainer and, instead, use another damage dealer.

Moreover, Brant will likely be the best teammate for Lupa, who will debut in version 2.4. She is a Broadblade user from the Fusion element.
