Best Ciaccona Build in Wuthering Waves
Image via: Kuro Games In Wuthering Waves, Ciaccona is a 5-star Aero Pistol user that is a debonair off-field support character as well as high-damage Aero Erosion DoT (Damage over Time). A Sub-DPS, her value doesn't come from lighting up the field – instead, she manipulates damage from behind the curtain, interlacing Aero debuffs and pumping up the team's output. To construct Ciaccona is to, essentially, embrace that fast, aggressive kit of hers and bow as close to the ground as possible to your Aero-mates. Core Strategy: Off-Field Aero Maestro Ciaccona exists mainly to apply Aero Erosion DoTs and rotate out expeditiously. Her kit is centered on applying periodic Aero damage and buffing team Aero damage via Echo interactions. In contrast to main DPS units, she will flourish in short tenures, preparing the field for other displays. MORE THAN A SUPPORT! Full S0 Ciaccona Guide & Build (Best Echoes, Weapons & Teams) | Wuthering Waves The Gusts of Welkin Echo set is specifically designed for this purpose. It gives a 15% Aero DMG increase to the party when Aero Erosion stacks are in effect — and Ciaccona stacks them at a rapid pace. To boot, she also receives an extra 15% Aero DMG, enabling her to make a larger contribution in those short field opportunities. Echo Build: Tune to the Winds For Ciaccona, Echo choice is not necessarily about brute strength but rather about musicality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walmart Photos Which Are Not For Everyone Old Money Style Undo Her top main Echo is Reminiscence: Fleurdelys. Although it doesn't provide exceptional utility, it supports her DoT build and slots well into the Gusts of Welkin set. Echo Stat Prioritization: Cost 4 Echo: Crit DMG Cost 3 Echoes: Aero DMG Cost 1 Echoes: ATK Optimal Weapons: Signature Style Ciaccona's best-in-slot weapon is her Woodland Aria, a 5-star pistol that gives Crit Rate, ATK%, and Aero DMG boosts, as well as an enemy debuff that bounces more Aero damage. This fits with her kit extremely well, benefiting both her own damage and her team's Aero-dominant compositions. Ciaccona is the FUTURE! ULTIMATE Guide and Showcase! [Best Builds and MORE] Wuthering Waves Alternative Options Static Mist (5-star): Provides Crit Rate and a team ATK boost after switching. A good backup for sub-DPS configurations. Romance in Farewell (4-star): The top F2P-friendly choice, ATK% boost dependent on Aero Erosion application — a requirement Ciaccona can easily fulfill. Cadenza: For those desiring quick rotations, Cadenza enhances Concerto Energy recovery, which makes Ciaccona reset her support cycle faster. Ciaccona is best in groups that are focused on Aero damage scaling or those who are helped by her short but deadly presence. She is very well-supported with main DPS units that take advantage of Aero resistance debuffs or require time to develop bursts. Units that have longer uptime in the field are helped by Ciaccona's quick tag-ins and buffs. Ciaccona isn't concerned with flashy main-stage solos , she's the one composing in the background. With a proper Echo set, stat-optimized, and a supporting weapon, she is an invaluable off-field sub, DPS who enables the entire party. For Aero-composition setups, she's not only feasible, she's essential.

Best weapons for Ciaccona in Wuthering Waves Update 2.3
Image via Kuro Games Ciaccona isn't your typical 5-star unit in Wuthering Waves . With her unique ability to summon Ensemble Sylphs and apply Aero Erosion to enemies, she brings tactical support and elemental synergy to any team. But to unlock her full potential, you need the right weapon that matches her Aero scaling, energy needs, and support playstyle. Here's a quick breakdown of the best weapons for Ciaccona , split by rarity. Ciaccona is the FUTURE! ULTIMATE Guide and Showcase! [Best Builds and MORE] Wuthering Waves 1. Woodland Aria – Her Signature, No-Brainer Pick Woodland Aria is built for Ciaccona — literally. This pistol offers a massive CRIT Rate boost and ramps up Aero DMG if she applies Erosion (which she does, often). The best part? It also shaves off 10% of the enemy's Aero RES, making your whole team's Aero attacks hit harder. Why it rocks: +36% CRIT Rate +24% Aero DMG when Erosion lands -10% Aero RES on enemies for 20s This one is tailor-made for her. Equip and watch her support game soar. 2. Static Mist – Energy and Team Buffs If you don't have Woodland Aria, Static Mist is your next best option. It boosts her CRIT Rate and helps recharge her kit faster — perfect for quick rotations. Plus, it buffs the next Resonator's ATK after her Outro, syncing well with her support role. Highlights: +24.3% CRIT Rate +12.8% Energy Regen +10% ATK to the next Resonator after Outro Solid pick for consistent uptime and team buffs. 3. Romance in Farewell – Craftable and Effective No gacha luck? No problem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Romance in Farewell is a 4-star option you can craft. It stacks ATK when you apply debuffs, and Ciaccona's Erosion counts. It's free, scalable, and fits her kit perfectly. Why it works: ATK stacking up to +16% Works seamlessly with Erosion Syntonizable for more punch It's a great option while you wait for a 5-star drop. 10% Aero Shred… Is Ciaccona's Weapon a TRAP? 4. Relativistic Jet – Quick Energy + ATK Boost Another 4-star option that helps her rotate faster. Relativistic Jet gives Resonance Energy and boosts ATK after using her skill. It's a great pick if you want her Ult up faster and don't have better options yet. Quick benefits: +6 Resonance Energy +10% ATK for 16s post-skill While it's not the best of weapons, it's very reliable. Ciaccona shines brightest when paired with weapons that amplify her Aero synergy, recharge her energy, and sharpen her support role. If you've got Woodland Aria, that's the clear winner. Otherwise, Static Mist or a fully upgraded Romance in Farewell can still make her a top-tier enabler in your squad. Keep her built right, and she'll keep your whole team flying higher.

It makes her the latest addition to the fire-based fighters' limited roster of the game.
