Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Wuthering Waves lately, and let me tell you, figuring out the best weapons for each character can be a real head-scratcher. I spent a good chunk of today messing around with the Rangers Series weapons, and I wanted to share what I found, ’cause, you know, sharing is caring!
First, I grabbed my trusty spreadsheet (yeah, I’m that kind of gamer) and listed out all the Rangers Series weapons. We’re talking about the Pistols, Broadblades, Gauntlets, Swords, and Rectifiers. Gotta have ’em all, right?

Then, I started experimenting. I took each weapon type and slapped it on different characters, just to see what felt good. Like, I tried the Broadblade on a character who normally uses a Sword, just to see if it would be surprisingly awesome. (Spoiler: it wasn’t terrible, but definitely not optimal.)
- Pistols: These felt pretty good on characters who are all about that ranged damage. Think quick attacks and dodging.
- Broadblades: Definitely for the heavy hitters. Characters who like to get up close and personal and swing for the fences.
- Gauntlets: These were interesting. They felt like a good middle-ground between speed and power.
- Swords: Your classic, all-around good choice. Decent damage, decent speed.
- Rectifiers: These are your support weapons. For characters who are focused on buffs and, you know, rectifying things.
After a bunch of trial and error (and a few face-plants, I’m not gonna lie), I started to get a feel for which characters really shined with each weapon type. It’s all about matching the weapon’s stats and abilities to the character’s skills and playstyle. For example, the crtical damage effects will be more useful for characters who already has crtical rate buff.
My “Aha!” Moment
The big takeaway? Don’t just blindly equip whatever weapon has the highest attack number! Seriously, I learned that the hard way. Pay attention to the weapon’s secondary stats and special effects. Those can make a HUGE difference in how well a character performs. Also, thinking the weapons can be replaced each other, while I found the effect is far from satisfication.
So, that’s my Rangers Series weapon adventure for today. I’m still figuring things out, and I’m sure there are tons of combinations I haven’t even thought of yet. But hopefully, this little experiment of mine helps you out a bit! Go forth and conquer (and maybe share your own findings with me, ’cause I’m always looking to learn more)!
