Wuthering Waves Calcharo kit

Calcharo is a 5-Star Electro character who uses a broadblade, and is best used in a DPS (damage per second) role. To get the most out of Calcharo's huge damage potential, you need to perform well-timed combos while in his Deathblade Gear state.

All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills.

Here's a summary of Calcharo's kit in Wuthering Waves:

• Rarity: 5-Star.
• Element: Electro.
• Weapon: Broadblade.
• Basic Attack: Gnawing Fangs.
• Forte Circuit: Hunting Mission.
• Resonance Skill: Extermination Order - Calcharo performs up to three consecutive attacks that deal Electro damage. If Calcharo is switched off field, or if his Extermination Order Resonance Skill is not performed again within a certain time limit, this skill enters a cooldown. Extermination Order does not interrupt Calcharo's basic attack combo.
• Resonance Liberation: Phantom Etching - Calcharo attacks the target with Electro damage, and he enters the Deathblade Gear state. In this state, Calcharo's regular basic attack is replaced with the Hounds Roar basic attack, and his dodge counter deals increased damage that is considered Resonance Liberation damage. As part of the Hounds Roar attack, Calcharo can perform up to five consecutive attacks that deal Electro damage that is considered basic attack damage. Lastly, after the Deathblade Gear state ends, Calcharo's next Intro Skill is replaced with the Necessary Means Intro Skill instead, which deals Electro damage that is considered Intro Skill damage.
• Intro Skill: Wanted Outlaw - Calcharo attacks the target with Electro damage.
• Outro Skill: Shadowy Raid - Calcharo summons a Phantom to support the character on the field, clearing the targets in front with a slash. The Phantom's attack deals Electro damage equal to 195.98% plus 391.96% of Calcharo's attack.
• Inherent Skill one: Bloodshed Awaken - When casting the Mercy heavy attack, Calcharo's Resonance Liberation damage bonus is increased by 10% for 15 seconds.
• Inherent Skill two: Revenant Rush - When Calcharo's Death Messenger heavy attack hits the target, the damage taken by Calcharo is reduced by 15% for five seconds.
• Inherent Skill three: Skillful Cooking - Has a chance to produce special dishes when cooking.

Calcharo's basic active Skills

Calcharo's basic attack can perform up to four consecutive hits that deal Electro damage, and his heavy attack consumes stamina to attack a target, also dealing Electro damage.

For his mid-air attack, Calcharo consumes stamina to perform a mid-air plunging attack that deals Electro damage, and Calcharo can use a basic attack after a successful dodge to attack the target and deal Electro damage.

Calcharo's Forte Circuit Skill

When Calcharo has accumulated three Cruelty, his heavy attack is replaced with the Mercy heavy attack, and when using Mercy, Calcharo consumes the three Cruelty to deal Electro damage that is considered heavy attack damage. Calcharo also recovers Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy after using Mercy.

Calcharo can hold up to three Cruelty, and he accumulates one Cruelty when his Extermination Order Resonance Skill hits a target. However, Cruelty can't be acquired in the Deathblade Gear state.

In the Deathblade Gear state, Calcharo's Forte Gauge is replaced with Killing Intent, which stacks up to five times. Calcharo gains one Killing Intent stack when his Hounds Roar basic attack hits the target.

When Calcharo has five Killing Intent, his basic attack is replaced with the Death Messenger heavy attack, and when using Death Messenger, Calcharo consumes five Killing Intent to deal Electro damage that is considered Resonance Liberation damage. It also recovers Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy.
