Brant is the newest five-star Resonator added toWuthering Waves, and he offers a unique gameplay style not yet seen in the game. If you’re pulling or are planning to pull Brant, here’s a guide to get you started.
Best Brantbuild in Wuthering Waves
Brant is aFusionSub-DPScharacter and aSworduser inWuthering Waves. Unique to his gameplay style, Brant focuses heavily onMid-Airattacks, allowing him to avoid much of what an enemy is doing due to being constantly airborne. He also has supporting capabilities, able to heal and shield teammates while dishing out his damage.
Though he is considered a Sub-DPS, Brant has access to some of the highest personal damage of any other Sub-DPS. It is so high that a team built around Brant allows him to succeed as even a Main DPS fill-in.
Brant’s ability to fill many roles makes him an extraordinary third pick on most teams inWuthering Waves. With only slots available on any given team, his multi-role versatility allows for you to consolidate roles for other teammates, opening up new team possibilities with Brant’s availability.
Brant’s game plan
Brant’s main goal is to fill up his Forte Meter as quickly as possible and deliver his powerful enhanced Resonance Skill,Returned from Ashes. This enables Brant to heal, shield, and dish out damage, all with the same mechanic. This enhanced Skill is reached by filling up his Forte.
Forte Circuit
Brant’s Forte isOcean Odyssey, which allows him to gain a unique Forte resource calledBravo. He can hold a total of100Bravo at any given time, which plays into the rest of his Forte’s mechanics. Every time Brant reaches a 25 Bravo breakpoint, he applies healing to his entire party. Bravo is gained in a few different ways you’ll want to make note of:
Of these methods, the most viable way of gaining Bravo isthrough using Basic Attackson enemies that connect. Brant is a Basic ATK scaling character, so this works out for his playstyle.
Upon reaching 100 Bravo, Brant can use Returned from Ashes, which sees Brant sending a massive anchor crashing from the air to the ground, dealing massive damage to all that are hit by it. While damage is this mechanic’s most important aspect, Returned from Ashes shields all of Brant’s allies when cast.
Brant’s final portion of his Forte another unique mechanic calledTheatrical Moment. This allowsBrant to gain ATK based on his Energy Regen stat.For every1% of Energy Regen over 150%, Brant will gain an additional12 ATK, up to a maximum of1560.
Resonance Skill
Due to the mechanics of Brant’s Forte, he has access to two different Resonance Skills.
The first is calledAnchors Aweigh!,which launches him into the air with a backflip. It does minor damage and is generally not very useful. Brant can follow this Skill up by pressing the Skill button a second time to launch a special Plunging attack. If it hits, he can press Normal ATK to launch himself back into the air.
The second is one I’ve mentioned earlier. When Brant reaches 100 Bravo, his Anchors Aweigh! is replaced withReturned from Ashes, the most powerful ability in his arsenal. It does enormous damage andfills Brant’s Concerto by half. It should be used as soon as possible if DPS is your concern with Brant.
Resonance Liberation
Brant’s Liberation is calledTo the Horizon,and it plays a significant role in how you make use of Brant’s Forte. When used, Brant will call upon an anchor to crash into the area, dealing decent damage and applying two unique but reminsant mechanics to him as buffs:Aflameand“My” Moment.
Aflameimproves the rate at which Brant is able to gain Bravo, doubling its efficiency. You should always strive to have this active as much as possible, which is why Brant wants so much Energy Regen in the first place.
“My” Momentreplaces Brant’s Forte mechanicTheatrical Moment, rewarding Energy Regen stacking with much more ATK per 1%, as before. With “My” Moment active, the conversion becomesfor every 1% Energy Regen over 150%, gain 20 ATKup to2600.
As you’re able to see, you need to make active use of Brant’s Resonance Liberation for him to be viable for DPS.
Outro Buff
As Brant is a Sub-DPS by default, he comes with a powerful Outro buff that shouldn’t be ignored for the rest of his kit. Brant’s Outro Skill is calledThe Course is Set!and it buffs the incoming Resonator’sFusion DMGby20%while simultaneously buffing the incoming Resonator’sSkill DMGby 25%. Both effects last for14 secondsor until the affected Resonator is switched out.
Best Echoes for Brant in Wuthering Waves
Because Brant requires such a significant amount of Energy Regen to function, he only has one Echo set option you should use. However, I will offer you a second option if the Energy Regen thresholds he needs cannot be met.
Best weapons for Brant in Wuthering Waves
Brant’s incredibly steep Energy Regen requirements offer him only two real options you can consider, with one being several steps down from the other.
Without using either one of the two weapons, Brant will struggle massively to reach Energy Regen breakpoints. So, with that in mind, if you cannot get one of these weapons, I strongly urge you to reconsider pulling Brant, as he is heavily reliant on Energy Regen to function.
Best team compositions for Brant in Wuthering Waves
Brant’s Outro buff supports buffing Fusion and Skill damage, so characters that match one or both of those make solid teammates for him.
Best Sequences of Brant in Wuthering Waves
Brant is a largely complete character at S0. However, his Sequences grant him significantly increased power to his moment-to-moment gameplan. His best stopping point is, without a doubt, S3, and if you’re interested in learning what all of his Sequences do, then here’s a summary of each one and their values.
