If you are looking for the best weapons, Echo Sets and Echoes, and team comps for Camellya, my Wuthering Waves Camellya best build guide will be handy.

Camellya is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Resonator in Wuthering Waves, wielding a Sword with the attribute being Havoc.

While the past few new characters we got in the game were mainly suited for the Support role, whether the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Resonator, Shorekeeper, or Zhezhi, Camellya is a DPS unit.

Her character kit revolves around dealing Havoc DMG, which is considered a Basic ATK DMG, making the latter stat the key focus of the build.

That said, ever since Camellya first appeared in the game during the main story, players have been hyped up for her release.

Now that she is finally getting her banner in the version 1.4 update, many in the Wuthering Waves community are looking forward to main’ing her.

So, for such players, here’s my Camellya best build guide!

Wuthering Waves Camellya best build

Camellya’s main abilities, like the Resonance Skill, Valse of Bloom and Blight, Resonance Liberation, Fervor Efflorescent, and Forte Circuit, Vegetative Universe, all primarily scale with Basic ATK DMG.

As a result, the primary stat apart from the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG I am focusing on in this build is Basic ATK DMG.

Moreover, we will also improve Havoc DMG since Camellya is a Havoc attribute user.

That being said, Camellya has a multi-layered ability with multiple modes and versions, like any other character in the game.

For example, her Resonance Skill, Valse of Bloom and Blight, attacks the target dealing Havoc DMG, considered Basic ATK DMG.

But after that, she enters the Blossom Mode!

Here comes the neat part: Camellya cannot move in Blossom Mode as she is suspended in vines.

But:

  • Her Basic ATK and Heavy ATK – Pruning are replaced by Basic ATK – Vining Waltz, chaining together four consecutive attacks and dealing Havoc DMG considered as Basic ATK DMG.
  • When performing Vining Waltz 3, hold the Normal Attack Button to cast Blazing Waltz, which deals Havoc DMG, before automatically performing Vining Waltz 4.
  • Dodge Counter is replaced by Dodge Counter Atonement.
    • Perform Normal Attack right after a successful Dodge to attack the target, dealing Havoc DMG considered as Basic ATK DMG.
  • Resonance Skill is replaced by Resonance Skill – Floral Ravage.
    • Casting Floral Ravage deals Havoc DMG considered Basic ATK DMG.
    • Resonance Skill Floral Ravage can be cast in mid-air.
  • Blossom Mode ends after casting Resonance Skill Floral Ravage.
  • Blossom Mode ends after using the Levitator.
  • Jump is replaced with Basic Attack – Vining Ronde.
    • Jump to attack the target at the cost of stamina, dealing Havoc DMG considered as Basic ATK DMG. This ends Blossom Mode.
  • Using Basic ATK – Vining Waltz, Basic ATK – Blazing Waltz, and Basic ATK -Vining Ronde in mid-air consumes stamina.
  • Casting Resonance Skill – Floral Ravage in mid-air does not restore stamina.
  • Consume stamina continuously to stay suspended on the vines.

So, if you just break down her Resonance Skill, you will find there are different versions of Basic ATK, each with its own DMG multiplier and unique animation.

Understanding each of these mechanics will play a vital role in fully utilizing Camellya as a Havoc DPS unit.

The next skill we must understand is Camellya’s Forte Circuit, Vegetative Universe.

To make it simpler, let me break it down into three different parts: the main Forte Circuit skill, Ephemeral, Budding Mode, and Crimson Pistil stacks and how they affect other abilities.

You can use Camellya’s Forte Circuit skill, Ephemeral, by pressing the Resonance Skill button when Concerto Energy is fully recovered and Ephemeral is not on Cooldown.

When you cast Ephemeral, you consume the Concerto Energy to deal Havoc DMG to the targets, which is considered the Basic ATK DMG again.

Moreover, at the end of it, you enter the Budding Mode!

For players who haven’t looked at Camellya’s character kit, here is what happens when you are in Budding Mode:

  • You get the Sweet Dream bonus, which increases the DMG Multiplier of:
    • Normal Attack
    • Basic ATK – Vining Waltz
    • Basic ATK – Blazing Waltz
    • Basic ATK – Vining Ronde
    • Dodge Counter – Atonement
    • Resonance Skill – Crimson Blossom
    • Resonance Skill – Floral Ravage
  • Casting Ephemeral consumes all Crimson Buds.
    • Each Crimson Bud consumed additionally increases the DMG Multiplier of Sweet Dream.
  • When in Budding Mode, Camellya cannot gain Crimson Buds.
  • When in Budding Mode, the Energy Regen Multiplier is reduced for the following:
    • Normal Attack
    • Basic ATK – Vining Waltz
    • Basic ATK – Blazing Waltz
    • Basic ATK – Vining Ronde
    • Dodge Counter – Atonement
    • Resonance Skill – Crimson Blossom
    • Resonance Skill – Floral Ravage
  • Budding Mode ends when Camellya is switched off the field
  • Budding Mode ends when all Crimson Pistils are consumed

Now, talking about the Crimson Pistil stacks, you gain it by either performing the Forte Circuit skill, Ephemeral, or by performing the Intro Skill, Everblooming.

Both skills recover 100 Crimson Pistils, which are consumed for recovering Concerto Energy and obtaining Crimson Buds.

These are then used for casting Ephemeral skills and gaining the extra DMG from the Sweet Dream mechanic.

Lastly, when it comes to Resonance Liberation skill, it is very simple as when you cast it, Camellya will attack the target dealing Havoc DMG. No multi-layered mechanics!

Assuming you have got the gist of Camellya’s main abilities, let us check out the best weapons, Echoes, Echo Sets, and team comps for her.

Best Weapons for Camellya in Wuthering Waves

As always, the best weapon for Camellya is her Signature Weapon,  Red Spring, a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sword that offers CRIT Rate as the secondary stat bonus.

Its weapon skill at R1 increases ATK by 12%, and while dealing Basic ATK DMG, the wielder gains a 12% Basic ATK DMG Bonus for 12s.

Moreover, you can trigger this effect once per second, stacking up to 5 times.

Wuthering Waves Camellya Best Weapon Emerald of Genesis

The Signature Weapons have always been tailored towards the character kit of the Resonators, and the same is true for Camellya.

However, there are also many other weapons that work well on her, such as the Emerald of Genesis, Blazing Brilliance, and Lumingloss.

Best Echoes and Echo Sets for Camellya in Wuthering Waves

The best Echo Set for Camellya is Sun-sinking Eclipse, which focuses on improving the Havoc DMG by a great amount.

Sadly, while we do have Echo Sets like Lingering Tunes that help in improving ATK%, there are no sets that mainly focus on Basic ATK DMG.

Echo setSet bonus
Sun Sinking Eclipse
Sun-sinking Eclipse
2 set: Havoc DMG +10%.
5 set: Havoc DMG +7.5% after releasing Basic ATK or Heavy ATK. This effect stacks up to 4 times, each stack lasts 15s.

Best in slot Echoes for Camellya

When it comes to Echo selection, the first Echo is the only one that really matters, as you will be actively using its skill.

Apart from that, you can use any Echo whose Cost meets the following combo: 4-3-3-1-1.

Dreamless (Alternative)41
Havoc Dreadmane, Roseshroom or Tambourinist32 and 3
Young Roseshroom, Tick Tack, Havoc Warrior, Havoc Prism, Glacio Prism, Excarat, Chirpuff or Young Roseshroom14 and 5

Camellya abilities upgrade priority

Here is the ability upgrade priority for Camellya in Wuthering Waves:

  • Resonance Skill -> Forte Circuit -> Resonance Liberation -> Normal Attack -> Intro Skill

Best team comps for Camellya in Wuthering Waves

When it comes to the best team comps for Camellya, I don’t think you have many choices.

What I mean is that two of the three character slots are fixed for Camellya and Sanhua, as the latter is the best support, thanks to her Outro skill.

For players who don’t know, Sanhua’s Outro skill buffs the next character’s Basic ATK DMG by 38% for 14 seconds.

It is a massive boost, making Sanhua one of the best in slot team members for Camellya in the game.

You can go with any Support/Healer for the third character slot.

Still, for the sake of the build guide, here are the best team comps for Camellya:
