Wuthering Waves D-Tier Weapons

D-tier weapons are the weakest 1 and 2-star armaments that should be avoided unless absolutely necessary in the game.

Wuthering Waves’ vast choices of weapons offer something for every playstyle, but not all armaments’ powers are created equal. By focusing on S and A-tier weapons like Abyss Surges, Cosmic Ripples, and Verdant Summit, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle even the most challenging content.

However, don’t be afraid to experiment with lower-tier weapons, as the right combination of Resonator, Echoes, and player skill can make even a B-tier weapon shine. Good luck and we hope that this tier helps!
