Phoebe is a 5★ Spectro Rectifier who excels as a flexible Absolution DPS (personal damage focus, requires external Spectro Frazzle application) or Confession Sub-DPS (applies max Frazzle stacks for enablers like Zani). Her kit revolves around the Ring of Mirrors (Res. Skill), Heavy Attack: Starflash (her main damage source), and Spectro Frazzle (DoT stacks up to 10, amps her damage). She's F2P-friendly at S0 with strong 4★ options, but sequences provide massive early gains.

With her 2.8 rerun alongside Chisa (Phase 1: Nov 20 - Dec 11 2025), prioritize sequences/weapon if you already have her and want top Spectro teams (e.g., Phoebe hypercarry or Zani enabler). S0 is already T1 in Whimpering Wastes/Tower; don't force pulls.

Signature Weapon: Luminous Hymn

Lv.90 Stats: 500 Base ATK | 36% CRIT Rate

Passive (Homebuilder's Anthem):

  • ATK +12~24%.
  • Hitting Spectro Frazzle enemies: +14~28% Basic Attack DMG and Heavy Attack DMG (independent stacks, up to 3x each for 6s).
  • Outro Skill: Amps Spectro Frazzle DMG by 50~100% for 30s (affects active character in ~30m radius).

Value & Alternatives

Bang for Buck: BiS (~119% relative DPS), but not mandatory. Covers ~60% of her damage (Basics/Heavies) with perfect synergy + team Frazzle amp (~0.6% team DPS, minor). Pull if no Stringmaster/Rime-Draped Sprouts; otherwise, skip for sequences.

Weapon Relative DPS Notes
Luminous Hymn (Sig) 119% Perfect synergy + team Frazzle amp
Stringmaster (Yinlin Sig) 111% Flat 12% DMG; great quickswap
Rime-Draped Sprouts (Zhezhi Sig) 109% 72% CRIT DMG substat
Cosmic Ripples 98% Energy + Basic stacks
Ocean's Gift (F2P R5) 90-100% Spectro DMG stacks on Frazzle

Recommendation: Weapon > S1 if low on pulls. F2P: Ocean's Gift is more than enough.


Sequence Guide: S1-S6 Breakdown

Wuthering Waves Build Phoebe 1

Phoebe's sequences are extremely frontloaded — huge jumps S1-S3 (S0 → S3: +64% DPS), then diminishing (S3 → S6: +75% more). Dual-mode effects: Absolution (DPS) scales better early; Confession (Sub-DPS) loves S2/S3 for Zani teams.

Sequence Effect (Absolution / Confession) Value DPS Gain (1T, Absolution)
S1 Lib DMG +480% (vs 255%) / Lib +90% DMG + max Frazzle stacks ★★★★☆ Great early burst/Frazzle button. Must-pull for both modes. +9%
S2 Outro to Frazzle +120% Amp / Silent Prayer +120% Frazzle Amp ★★★☆☆ Strong team enabler (Zani meta). +21%
S3 Starflash DMG +91% / +249% ★★★★☆ Core Heavy buff (her main hitter). Best single sequence. +34%
S4 Basics/Dodge Counters: -10% Spectro RES (30s) ★★★★☆ Team shred; dilutes if other sources (Rover S6). +18%
S5 Intro: +12% Spectro DMG (15s) ★★★☆☆ Minor personal buff. Skip. +10%
S6 Ring: +2s Stagnate (12 targets) / Ring summon: +10% ATK (20s) + free Starflash ★★★★★ Luxury CC/DMG. Rotation tweak needed. +47%

Investment Priority: Most Bang for Your Buck

  • S0: Excellent baseline (T1 Spectro DPS/Sub). No pulls needed.
  • S1: Must-pull (+9% personal, enables Confession burst).
  • S1-S2: Great value (+30% total). Zani enabler perfected.
  • S1-S3: Optimal stopping point (+64% DPS). Hypercarry ready; worth full guarantee.
  • S1-S6: Whale territory (+139% DPS). S4/S6 team utility; skip S5.

Pull Order: Weapon (if no alts) → S1 → S3 → S2/S4 → S6.
Confession (Zani teams): Stop at S2.
Absolution (hypercarry): Aim S3+.
