Best 5 New Player Team in Wuthering Waves 2026
New players should build Rover + Yangyang + Baizhi, then pull one limited main DPS (Camellya, Carlotta, Jinhsi, or Jiyan) and the healer / coord supports that enable it. This roadmap maximizes free progress.
How We Rank These
Start free, then invest pulls where they give the most account value: a limited carry you enjoy, Shorekeeper (best sustain), and a coord buffer for your carry. This list walks the first steps.
Rover (Spectro)
Your free protagonist and starter carry. Build the Spectro form first; it clears early content and teaches the swap system.
Watch out: Eventual limited carry out-scales it for top content.
Yangyang (Aero)
Free Aero support who feeds Energy Regen and a small ATK buff. Your first enabler.
Watch out: Modest buffs; replaced by limited supports later.
Baizhi (Glacio)
Free healer and your default sustain until Verina / Shorekeeper.
Watch out: Lower ceiling than 5★ healers.
Verina (Spectro)
Free 5★ healer you obtain through progression — upgrade your sustain as soon as you get her.
Watch out: Needs Energy Regen investment.
Sanhua (Glacio)
Free 4★ Glacio sub-DPS and the best enable for Camellya — pull / build her if you choose Camellya.
Watch out: Free; value is the enable.
Verdict
Frequently Asked Questions
What should my first limited pull be?
A main DPS you enjoy: Camellya (easy enable), Carlotta (top Glacio), Jinhsi (top Spectro), or Jiyan (top Aero). Then grab Shorekeeper and a coord buffer for that carry.
When do I need a second team?
Around the mid-game tower / endgame modes, where you field two teams. Your second team can reuse Verina / Shorekeeper with a different carry (e.g. the free Rover or a second limited DPS).
