Best Mortefi build in Wuthering Waves – weapons, echoes and team comps

Considered the best offensive support in Howling Waves, Mortefi is able to massively buff his companions' heavy attacks with his Outro skill. It also shines with its ability to deal a good amount of coordinated damage after triggering Burning Rhapsody.

True to that, building him is a must for anyone looking to both awaken his true potential and that of some of the best damage dealers in the game. Here is the best build of Mortefi Howling Waves.

Best weapons for Mortefi

The best weapon for Mortefi in Howling Waves is the 5-star static mist. The weapon fits him like a glove providing a total of 24.3% critical rate at level 90. Static Mist will also increase his energy regeneration value by 12.8% and allow Mortefi to provide even more buffs by increasing the ATK of the taking resonator. the land after him by 10%. The values ​​refer to the weapon at rank 1.

Best 4 Star Alternatives

As a support/sub-DPS whose kit revolves around using his Resonance Release, the best 4-star weapon for Mortefi is Cadenza. The Pistol is my primary choice, given its 51.8% energy regeneration stat at level 90. To make rotations easier, Cadenza will also provide Mortefi with Concerto energy after performing his skill. The effect can only be triggered once every 20 seconds.

If you're looking for damage over utility, Novaburst will be my main choice. Keep in mind that while the weapon offers a massive ATK increase, the lack of vital secondary stats like Crit and ER will be felt. To add to the above, here's a look at our top 5 and 4 star picks, as well as a 3 star weapon that's sure to excel in Mortefi's hands.

Best Weapons for Mortefi / Main Stat Reasons why
Static Mist (best in slot by far)/crit rate Provides a massive amount of critical rate, while also buffing its ER value and allowing it to buff your DPS with an additional 10% ATK.
Cadenza (4-star main choice) / ER Offers a nice amount of energy regeneration and allows him to gain Concerto Energy by performing his skill.
Novabuirst (Best 4 stars for those looking for damage above utility)/ATK Has a high overall ATK value and will allow him to further improve his attack by up to 12% when dashing and dodging.
Night Guns (Best 3 stars) / ATK Provides a large amount of ATK to R5. Able to rival that of our 4 star choices.

Best sonatas and echoes for Mortefi at WuWa

The best sonata for Mortefi is a 5 piece Moonlit Clouds. Once active, the Sonata will improve its ER by 10% and allow its Outro skill to also increase the ATK of the character taking the field by 22.5%. The ATK boost will last for 15 seconds or until the affected unit leaves the field.

For echoes, I recommend going with Impermanence Heron as the main character in a composition of one Overlord, two Commons, and two Elites. Impermanence Heron is vital in the main slot given its ability to enhance the buff provided by Mortefi's Outro skill with a 12% damage bonus effect for 15 seconds.

Best Echo Stats and Substats for Mortefi Build

Choose Critical Rate as the Heron of Impermanence's primary stat. This is a must, as Mortefi must be able to crit frequently to excel as a sub-DPS. For other echoes, I recommend going with a Fusion DMG pair, followed by Energy Regen and ATK. If you are using an ER weapon, change it to double ATK.

Focus on crit rate, energy regeneration, crit DMG, and ATK when talking about substats. Finally, try to bring its Rate and ER values ​​to at least 60 and 130% for optimal results.

Are Mortefi Resonance Chain Nodes essential?

While not essential, unlocking Cathartic Waltz (her fourth Resonance Chain Node) will significantly increase Mortefi's potential. Once unlocked, the node will increase Burning Rhapsody's uptime by seven seconds for a total of 17.

Best teams for Mortefi in Wuthering Waves

Since Mortefi's flames burn the brightest when paired with heavy attack-dependent DPS, the best team for him will include Jiyan as the main DPS and Verina as the healer/sub-DPS. This composition will rely on the use of Mortefi to massively improve the damage of Jiyan's Qingloong mode. In addition to her healing, we will also have in Verina a secondary source of damage and buffs off the field.

With their ability to perform enhanced heavy attacks in short intervals, Rover (Havoc) and Danjin can also work well in the primary DPS role. For the healer position, Baizhi can replace Verina extremely well.
