Augusta Gameplay and Playstyle

Augusta is a 5-star Electro Resonator who uses a Broadblade, mixing solid attacks with useful team support. Her strikes build up different Forte Gauges that let her fire off special moves. Her Resonance Liberation hits with a huge slash, and when powered up, it shifts into a hidden-blade attack with quick strikes. On top of her damage output, Augusta can create shields for teammates, and her Outro Skill refills her gauges to loop into boosted Resonance Liberations faster. She's a strong frontline Electro DPS who delivers both power and safety to the group. Understanding Augusta's kit in Wuthering Waves can help you maximize her as an Electro DPS.
