The Wuthering Waves community is ablaze with excitement as the latest Version 3.1 beta files from Hakush.in (v3.1.2) drop the full kit for Aemeath, the pink-haired 5-star Fusion Sword main DPS headlining the first banner phase. Once a Synchronist at Startorch Academy, now a digital ghost visible only to Rover, Aemeath's kit features seamless form-switching between her ethereal human and powerful Mech states, emphasizing Heavy Attacks, Tune Rupture-Shifting, Fusion Burst, and massive Resonance Liberation bursts via Synchronization Rate and Resonance Rate gauges.
Her official preview showcased fluid sword combos, aerial dashes, and explosive transformations, confirming a hypercarry with rhythm-based rotations and screen-shaking nukes.
Gameplay Impressions: Flashy, Mobile, Burst-Heavy Hypercarry
Leaked kit confirms Aemeath's fluid playstyle: 4-stage Basic combos building Sync/Res Rates, mid-air Resonance Skill form swaps (human for agile slashes, Mech for heavy tech assaults and indefinite flight mobility), empowered Heavies in Instant Response (count as Lib DMG), and Lib Overdrive into Finale nuke. Rotations: Build rates with swaps/Heavies, Overdrive for buffs, Finale at max rates for 1,789%+ Fusion DMG.
Core Mechanics: Form Switching, Gauges, and Buff States
Aemeath revolves around form-switching via Resonance Skill (inherits stats, pierces combos) and two key gauges for Finale:
- Synchronization Rate (builds via Basics/Skills/Heavies): Enables enhanced moves.
- Resonance Rate (fills via Skills/Lib): Pairs with Sync for Finale.
Key States:
| State | Duration | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Instant Response | 15s (Lib Overdrive) | Drastically reduces Heavy charge time; Heavies count as Resonance Liberation DMG (+200% amp via Inherent). |
| Starlume Acceleration | 60s (Lib Overdrive) | Enhances rotations (next Skill free, etc.). |
| Stardust Resonance | 2x Symphony uses | Empowers Forte Circuit Symphony of Seraphic Plumes. |
