Fix Your Autotargetting!! - Auto Target and Camera Settings Guide in Wuthering Waves 

Inferno rider riding his bike instead of attacking while there are like 5 enemy infront of you is peak 🤣

Doing tower of adversity on phone is hell mode

Of all the enemies in the game, my camera absolutely HATES the Bell-Borne. Whether lock-on is activated or not, my camera will always spin me in every other which way and even somehow get me stuck inside the body. It's pain 😭

Funny thing to me is NO ONE talking about it among the big names. When I googled it, I was fed all junk like "best builds, teams, pull ornot pull, mistakes, etc". Did people never play combat slasher with a good, responsive camera and targeting?? Why isn't anyone mighty confused about it? So I'm subbing to you just because you noticed and brought it up.

Tbh all they have to do is copy paste PGR camera. In PGR, camera lock locks your target and follows the locked enemies, but it DOES NOT lock you away from moving the camera. On top of this, they need to optimize the camera so it accounts for the terrain. The second most annoying thing behind not being able to move your camera when it's locked, is when your camera faces the ground due to the slope of the terrain and your distanced away from the enemy. I think they also need to add a feature that increases the scope at which the characters automatically directs their attacks to the target(I dodge a little to far from my target, and now I'm attacking away from them). WuWa is combat focused, so once they're done dealing with technical stuffs and bugs, camera problems should be the priority. And maybe the music too lol.

Straight to the point, clear and informative. Great guide. Subscribed.🎉

This is insane no one is talking about this. Camera and auto targeting is absolutely fucking fucked.

1.1 Jinhsi patch you meant. 6:20 Thanks for the insight on auto targeting, found myself flying on every direction like a mad man more than once.

Yeah auto target should prioritize enemies that your camera is facing and the one closest to you if they are in a line. It's so annoying with ranged characters like Encore she'll just start attacking enemies in the same direction but that are at the edge of her range. Another bug I've noticed with the targeting is if you're holding W and attacking then you turn your camera to face an enemy, lets say 90º to your right and keep holding W, it will NOT change targets. You have to either keep facing the target and press the directional button for the second (like D in this case) or stop your combo. I hate this so much.

I wish we could change targeted enemies by scrolling the scroll wheel

I liked and subscribed cause you are the only one who is talking about this for now 👍

Funny story, cammera issues and QOL improvements were the first thing people complained in PGR, and after those got fixed and improved, oh boy. Just let them cook, Kuro games wont let us down.

Thanks! Very nice info, exactly what I was looking for.

What annoys me is when I use Jiyans ult on Mobile the freaking camera angles constantly switching and I can't properly see enimies this also affect my targetting.

So I'm not the only one who thinks the lock-on/auto-target system is weird 😅 thank you for this video and validating my hours of frustration when I want to finish off an enemy with 1 health and my character just be like "nope imma target this full health enemy instead"

Great video, recommended to all my friends!

This is auto target is so unfortunate. The thing most widely disliked in Genshin and they implement, in MUCH worse fashion here. I never played PGR and if they are actively working on improvements...I'll be onboard. But for me its just a log in and check out game (i bought their welkin = to support).

Useful info, thank you man

Nice vid dude. Also looking forward to what they do with the camera next patch. But i definitely got a bit more insight on jts functions now from your explanation.

Thanks for your insight on this. Subbed.

Thank you! It is good to know that not only I am struggling to figure out those 3 cam options as they seem to be placeholders atm. Coming from Black Desert, WuWa at this point is not the best experience in the camera and targeting aspect. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the true action combat camera and an option to completly switch-off the 'targeting'/'aim-assist' in V.1.1 ;D

They could allow changing the camera direction with the attack button like some fps games have on phone. In pc, players can press attack and swing the mouse at the same time giving them more control, but on phone, we have to release the atk button or the joystick area to either move the cam or use lock on. Which is pretty much the main difference between surviving and dying.

Fist time in a gaming mode a camera gives me headaches had to made too many changes and try different things ,but still it’s horrible ,I don’t know why the beta testers didn’t address this. Imo for now don’t lock if you re not against a boss

Finally, someone really talks about true problems. Cant they just give us free camera without auto targeting ?!

After killing final enemies in a pack, my camera goes absolutely wild and will keep jerking in what i assume is the direction of the next nearest enemy. Even when none are close and im not using any attacks. It's so frustrating

that over watch font on the keyboard is bringing back good memories

Thanks for this. I was confused with the targeting system. But it seems like some of the cluckyness are something we need to wait for Kuro games to fix

Or another small problem but major imo is that when you kill an enemy for example with Calcharo, then you switched to Yinlin right away, the camera will continue targeting that dead enemy and constantly snap to the empty spot where that enemy died. It will keep doing this for I guess 5-10 seconds??? I dunno.

so we have to wait until 1.1 ? and even than it might be dog shit, this needs to be addressed right now lol

Tips to fix the targeting problem. If the camera went crazy, click enemy targeting, dodge further then click it again. Work mostly on ranged char. For melee, dodge 2x away from enemy, then click targeting then off. This only work after the "rest" time of the enemy so memorize the attack pattern if possible. Edit: I don't have any problem with the targeting mechanism.

For my own experience I had greater confort playing combats with a controller since you can adjust and controll the auto targeting with more precision since your movements are not limited to 8 axis but can input in a 360° around you and can thus target the exact enemie you want each time

thanks for the video ! they need to fix this it's crazy .. the auto targetting should either follow the keyboard input or the camera direction ... i'm having a very hard time with yinlin in the abyss trying to attack unmarked enemies it's crazy. and on top of that my jiyan in his liberation running after the enemy on the other side of the map the oposite direction of my camera and my keyboard input, if this continues i'm done with this game sadly

if you can control the camera view "auto target + force side the camera to left/right + hit" the action camera angle view will become fighting game view.

you can completely remove camera shake by getting a db file editor or manually doin by making this value 0: "CameraShakeStrength":0 in gamequalitysetting

Nice vid, I was experimenting with this myself and I can at least tell you the 'Moving Camera Correction' setting automatically centers your camera when you're looking up or down while moving and not touching your mouse or controller. You can test this by just running a straight line and looking at the ground. Tested this out of combat but I guess this would work in combat too (although who doesn't move constantly during combat :P).

good stuff !! I'm normally not using lock on except for bosses and let auto-target leads me and, oh boy.. its rough. especially on ranged character. i.e. I input(hold) W to enemy in front of me but Encore still keep attacking other enemy off screen. it was on screen before I input attack but not when I started attack but she still aim that off screen enemy... I'm not sure if by pressing WASD again (and not holding it) before input attack will helps reset the auto-target, make it to actually aim enemy in front/nearest to me but that's what I do for now as workaround until they fix it...

The camera at mourning aix hologram is wild. In my case, it can automatically lock-on the aix in the middle of combat without my command. It's rly annoying since with lock-on activated, the camera can't follow aix fast enough when he perform the sky dive attack from high above, resulting on me missing the visual cue for parrying. IDK if only me experienced this.

6:32 that verina slide is the most smoothest and the most strategic move to position yourself away from the enemy and gain vision of both enemy. i am surprised by how creative combat can be in ww

I.NEED.THIS!!!!!!!!!

Camera work in mobile is hell. In explo just wanted to reset my camera but it targets nearby enemies in opposite direction. So freaking annoying

One thing to add is that its so hard to click the mouse wheel. Would really like to be able to map it to another button like the side button on the mouse

my problem is sometimes when i kill an enemy my camera keep focusing in that direction even if there is no other enemy and when i try to look somewhere else camera keep going back to that focused place... i just cant move my camera for 3-4 sec. i dont use lock-on enemy thing. also at bell-borne boss after i break his shield my character doesnt lock on enemy anymore and use skill or ult on random places

One think i love ahout this video is Kuro mention😂 kuro really do everything for players

This system makes the FFXIV tab target system feels like a masterpiece. I hate it. It's by far one of the things preventing me to want to keep playing this game.

As someone using jiyan, I have been very obvious of the lock on thing. I only use it on some bosses that fly around and move a lot. I also don't like pressing my scroll button and I just use it only when I really need it on bosses.

yes on that first fix. i hate when the game forces the camera on me. my camera not yours!!

Tysm for the vid Im struggling with camera since day 1 and disabled all settings, but it still moves, especially it loves doing that while im fighting red elites with friends to some random direction. Are they hinting i should flee? Bruh But its more of an issue in tower cause sometimes enemies dash and 1 of them are behind me. I know it will dash again, and there are like 5 enemies in front of me, but my character still tries to go for the one in the back. Ill try following your advice today, thank you again

I'm on phone and thought I've been slacking on Tower mode since launch and tried it. I don't remember the last time I've felt this cringe with myself. Lord have mercy.

coming from a controller player, I don't have too many issues with targetting but what I'd like to see is, no camera auto correction towards what you're softlocked on (or at least, make it stop auto correcting if you pan the camera around) and for hardlock to prioritize the enemy I'm holding the movement stick towards (like how it already prioritizes your softlock target) I'd also appreciate being able to pan the camera around while hardlocked to some extent, but for it to have a much more rigid re-centering on the hardlocked enemy. futhermore, I'd appreciate some method of having NO TARGET when attacking so aiming stuff like jianxin/yangyang ults for grouping enemies is easier to pull off, or aoe abilities like yinlin's ult to make it easier to hit the enemies you intend to, as well as just aiming cleave abilities like danjin's chaoscleave easier to hit multiple targets with.

5:30 personally I tap the directional key repeatedly and it usually works

Sometimes it keeps forcing my camera in another direction and it's so disorienting. The middle button lock sometimes activates without me pressing it and I can't cancel it during combat. Guess this forcing pc to use mobile aim assist is just gonna be the trend going forward. Imagine if FPS games forced mouse to turn like controllers.

Myself, as a controller player, I'd love a Zelda-esque target option of holding Left Trigger down, that cancels it if you release. This way I don't have to dick around with the Right Stick press. If I could do that and have it focus the enemy that is directly in my player's line of sight (not the camera itself,) then I would have no problems targeting at all. Instead of Left Trigger being Aim, it could be set to Left Bumper+Left Trigger. The way they have implemented this is so scuffed, and with so many other games out there that they can test and base their targeting off of, you have to wonder why this is what they decided to do instead.

I'll try until 1.2, if at the start of 1.2 there is no way to disable every single thing that has to do with auto target I just stop playing definitively. In the meantime I'll just feed back that whenever they ask for feedback. Think kind of stuff simply shouldn't exist outside of phone.

What about the random camera movement that seems like it's looking at something invisible faraway?

Give us an option to completely turn off all auto targeting. I can turn my screen and move my character just fine. It's frustrating feeling you're not in control.

We also need a rotating minimap

I can so relate the targeting a monster waaaaaay from narnia lmao

Lmao, i feel you on camera angle stuff, i tweaked mine yesterday. Its hella annoying on mobile 😭

Camera locked on boss like mourning aix sometimes not even working, end up we can't even rotating screen, it gets locked and we dk where the boss flying to Also they need to disable ulti animation lock screen We can't see around us what's happening like fighting the thundering mephis hologram, it's clone somewhere behind it and we can't rotate our screen is kinda sucks Game of parry but failed in camera setting really sucks for kuro

On mobile, fighting bosses who can fly is really like hell, because the camera lock sucks

On mobile my main issue is feeling the camera is too close, even at max zoom. I dont have many issues aside from that

I don't know if that will really be fixed, since they haven't fixed the echo system even though that problem is in CBT

please tell me how to lock camera at furthest distance

can you do a calcharo full guide video? like how you did with encore??:>

When i use electro boss echo with 4 hits, even in lock mode i have chaotic jumping on random enemy and often strike empty place.

I have been wasting a lot of Intro/outro skills because the auto aiming picks the isolated enemy sitting far away from me even tho I was hitting and focusing one right it front of me. Not sure if it has to do with guns users, since chixia is my main dps. I do not use Lock in, so it is weird because you say auto aiming usually picks enemies closer to the character.

i have the camera problem when going battle some time got stuck.

What are your grahics settings? the game looks clean

What i hate is when my echo skill goes to the fckn rabbit/goat/cow instead of the actual enemy near me....gawd it's frustrating, Kuro needs to seriously optimize their camera/targeting settings.

hope we can remap the mouse wheel lock to any key. it feels clunky to press it.

❤

On Pc is good but mobile lol, nah. I tried so hard in the new event on my phone just to get as much point as I can but i could only reach 6k. The camera is zoomed in, looked at only one enemy. When it changed to the next enemy, it didnt look at the one in grp but the outside one 😭

Doing the alloy event and Yinlin keeps fking ulting the lone enemy in the opposite direction.

Tbh targeting is horrible I usually go without

the thing about the lock on is i cant remap it , and who dfq use lock on mb3

Is no one going to talk about the terrible sensitivity either? playing with the sensitivity sliders maxed, i still need to drag my mouse across my desk to turn 90 degrees. and when i get stutters for the first few mins after launching the game, the sensitivity is cracked way up and ill end up looking at the sky or the ground.

I finally know how to remove lock on thank you! 🤣

Do a guide about mobile too

i wish i could change the lock on key

The camera targeting is my biggest gripe of this game, while the combat is great it's being squandered by that camera movement why can't they just make it like genshin heck even PSO2: NGS which the combat for me sucks with tab targeting at least that game has better action combat and for both melee and range. Like in WuWa after I finish a pack of mobs and want to turn my camera to a certain direction the camera keeps pulling back to where the enemies were.

I wish I could just use my mouse and have the camera actually controllable at all times without using the targeting feature cause its ass and prolly will always be worse than if you could just attack enemies like in an action combat game.

Camera correction does... Movign your camera like crazy for no reason

3:27 holy fuck, me either. I have done these 1 by 1 and they appear to have no impact

Even when i press M3 the lock in doesn't come up. Anyone know what to do?

I really hate when for example using Encore [E] to target that she CANT REACH. Basicly every single hit to the air.

Doing this lock-on on a phone or tablet is atrocious. I might get a Windows ARM based laptop or just wait for a PS5 release. For now, I will use my tablet.

me : holy fk genshin, your auto targeting is so sheet wuwa : well hello there traveler alsometogenshin : perhaps i treated you too harshly 😂. no kap i didnt realize genshins auto aim was decent up until played wuwa, jesus christ i feel like my character have adhd whenever i fight spread out mobs 🤣🤣

I end up setting my buttons on mobile the same way I layout for pubg, 4 claw 🤣

let me help you to youtube algorithm

Where is the lock button for mobile users?

Um .. not getting it. Touchscreen?

Camera is the only thing that absolutely sucks in this game. They really need to fix the targeting.

It is still terrible

Oh, this is a PC Master Race guide, my bad. Lemme exit and search for other CCs who give a funk about mobile gamers. Lemme Blocktube this channel too before I go...

This game on mobile is shitty currently

Just don't use this unless it's a boss, why bother.

camera locking in this game is a pure trash

now do it with a xbox controller.

Camera aim on mobile is trash😂

What a terrible combat experience Thank god for genshin combat They should have just made it like genshin
