Calcharo Overview

Calcharo, as the head of the renowned “Ghost Hounds,” a mercenary organization spanning across borders, he commands authority with an iron fist. His demeanor is ruthless, filled with a vengeful spirit that leaves no room for forgiveness. Prospective clients must exercise caution and carefully consider the cost before presenting him with an offer. In Wuthering Waves, Calcharo is a 5 Stars Electro character and uses Broadblade during the fight.

Calcharo Review

Calcharo primarily uses the enhanced Basic Attack and enhanced Forte Circuit after using Resonance Liberation for damage output. In the series of damage output after using Resonance Liberation, the damage ratio between Resonance Liberation and Basic Attack is approximately 2.2:1. Additionally, the Resonance Skill can be released at intervals, allowing full enjoyment of the permanent five-star weapon’s effects.

Pros

  • Pairing with the second limited character, Yinlin, can achieve very high output during Resonance Liberation.
  • Before obtaining Yinlin, since Basic Attack Damage has a decent proportion, you can choose Sanhua for team composition.No need to worry about not having a suitable support character at the game launch to maximize performance.
  • When using Jiyan’s Signature Weapon or the permanent 5-star broadblade, Calcharo’s Attack Multiplier and Damage Addition Multiplier are relatively balanced, without the issue of dilution due to excessively high Multipliers.

Cons

  • Requires certain Energy Regen stats to help shorten Calcharo’s Liberation activation time.
    Calcharo’s attack animation lock is relatively long, making the feel somewhat stiff and not easy to master.
  • When facing highly mobile and high-damage enemies, it’s easy to get hit and waste output time. Additionally, Calcharo’s “Death Messenger” animation is quite long, and during the disappearance period, he is not immune to damage, requiring skilled character switching techniques to avoid damage.
