As Wuthering Waves continues to evolve in late 2025, the game's meta has seen significant shifts, especially with the release of Version 2.7. The spotlight has turned brightly towards Fusion-based teams, which are now delivering some of the most explosive damage outputs in the game. For players looking to conquer the toughest endgame content like the Tower of Adversity, mastering the Wuthering Waves fusion dps has become essential. But with new resonators shaking up the roster, who truly stands out as the best dps in the current landscape?

What Makes a Top Tier Fusion DPS Team?

Before diving into specific teams, it's crucial to understand the philosophy behind a successful Fusion composition. It’s not just about having one powerful character; it's about the synergy between 3 dps characters (or more accurately, a main DPS, a sub-DPS, and a support). A top-tier team excels in a few key areas:

• Seamless Rotations: The ability to swap characters smoothly to chain Outro Skills is paramount. This ensures maximum buff uptime, like stacking Fusion RES PEN and team-wide ATK bonuses.

• Role Specialization: Every character has a job. The Main DPS is the primary damage dealer. The Sub-DPS provides off-field damage and buffs. The Support keeps the team alive with healing or shields while often providing crucial utility.

• Synergistic Builds: The right Sonata Effects, weapon choices, and prioritized stats (like Crit Rate/DMG and Energy Regen) can elevate a good team to an unstoppable one.

Building a team without considering this synergy is like trying to win a race with a flat tire. So, which combinations are getting it right? 🤔

The Elite: Changli's Hyper-Carry Dominance

When players discuss the absolute peak of Fusion damage, one team composition is consistently mentioned: Changli + Brandt + Lupa. This lineup is widely recognized as the definitive endgame answer for a hyper-carry playstyle and is considered by many to be the fusion dps terkuat (the strongest fusion dps) setup.

• Changli (Main DPS): The star of the show, Changli deals immense Fusion DMG through her Resonance Skill and powerful attacks. Her Outro Skill is a gift to the team, providing a significant DMG boost and RES PEN.

• Brandt (Core Support): Brandt is the backbone of this team. He provides not only Fusion DMG enhancement but also crucial survivability through shields and healing. His ability to convert Energy Regen into Attack makes him a formidable presence on his own.

• Lupa (Sub-DPS/Buffer): Lupa is the premier Fusion enabler. Her skills further amplify the team's Fusion DMG, and her Chase effect provides valuable control immunity, making rotations smoother under pressure.

The magic of this team lies in its perfect synergy. The Outro skills chain flawlessly, creating near-permanent buff uptime and allowing Changli to unleash devastating damage without interruption. While the investment is high—requiring specific Resonance Chains and a hefty 280% Energy Regen on Brandt—the payoff is a top tier dps machine capable of clearing any challenge in its path.

Galbrena: The Flexible Fusion Powerhouse

The most recent addition in Version 2.7, Galbrena, has already cemented her place as an S-Tier Fusion DPS. What makes her so interesting is her unique split scaling, which draws power from both Echo Skill DMG and Heavy Attack DMG. This opens up flexible team-building options.

One of the most effective and balanced teams for her is Galbrena + Lupa + Shorekeeper. This setup offers a fantastic blend of high damage, powerful buffs, and excellent survivability.

• Galbrena (Main DPS): As the core damage dealer, her straightforward playstyle is easy to pick up, though her performance is heavily tied to her signature weapon, which provides the niche DMG buffs she craves.

• Lupa (Fusion Buffer): Lupa once again provides her invaluable Fusion DMG buffs, directly amplifying Galbrena's output.

• Shorekeeper (Universal Support): The SS-Tier support Shorekeeper provides consistent healing and a massive damage amplification field, ensuring Galbrena can stay on the field and hit as hard as possible. This is a fantastic choice if you want to make Galbrena my dps for all content.

This team might not have the raw, single-minded burst of the Changli comp, but its balance and flexibility make it an incredibly reliable choice for any situation. ✨

The 'Iron Wall': A Focus on Survivability

What if your priority isn't just peak damage, but becoming virtually unkillable? For players who prefer a comfortable and safe playstyle, the Shorekeeper + Lupa + Brant lineup is a dream come true. This is the 'iron wall' strategy.

This team sacrifices some burst potential for unparalleled survivability. Shorekeeper's healing and max HP boost, combined with Brant's shields and instant recovery, create a triple-layer of protection. It's a plug-and-play core that allows the on-field character, often Brant, to focus purely on dealing damage without worrying about dodging every single attack. The roles are clear and effective:

Character	Role	Core Responsibilities
Shorekeeper	Team-Wide Buffer & Healer	Provide ATK bonus, healing, and DMG Deepen via Outro.
Lupa	Fusion Buffer & Sub-DPS	Apply Fusion DMG bonuses with quick skill usage.
Brant	On-Field DPS & Sustainer	Deal damage while maintaining shields and team healing.

Don't Have Premium Units? F2P Fusion Options

Not everyone has access to a roster of high-investment 5-star characters, but that doesn't mean you're locked out of the Fusion meta. A highly effective and budget-friendly option is the Encore + Lupa + Changli/Brant team.

Encore, being a standard banner character, is easier to obtain Resonance Chains for, making her a powerful low-cost Main DPS. When she enters her Cosmos Rave state, she unleashes an incredible amount of Fusion DMG. Paired with the buffing capabilities of Lupa and the support from either Changli or Brant, this team can comfortably clear daily content and even the upper floors of the Tower of Adversity. Just remember the pro tips: Lupa's RC3 is a massive power spike, so prioritize it!

Final Verdict: Who is The Best Fusion DPS?

So, after reviewing the top contenders, who is the best dps? The answer isn't a single character but rather the team that best fits your playstyle and resources. 🚀

• For maximum burst damage, Changli's hyper-carry team is unmatched.

• For flexibility and balanced power, Galbrena offers a fresh and potent alternative.

• For ultimate safety and comfort, the 'Iron Wall' team with Shorekeeper and Brant is your best bet.

• For F2P players, Encore provides a fantastic and accessible entry into high-level Fusion damage.
