MAIN DPS AALTO: How To Use Him & Playstyle GUIDE | WUTHERING WAVES |combos | rotations | tips&tricks 

He's good, but he has the lowest and most abysmal scaling [AUTO ATTACK] in the game. They gutted his basic attack for the sake of utility. Otherwise he would have been the most broken thing running around the game. His S3 turns his shot into a shotgun true, but 50% of his damage is split into 25% making it visibly appealing. but realistically your just dealing 50% of the dmg per shot. Which is... 1.5x a regular critical hit. added his base damage scaling from his gutted auto attack. The main charm of S3 is the Concerto gains from it turning him into a quick concerto drop after pulling off his combo fluidly. As for the auto attack calculation with S3. The calculation leads to a simplicity of him turning his shot to a normalized dmg and slightly weaker carry like chixia or mortefi which auto attack scaling and multiplier completely outstrips his... [Unfortunate.] But there's no denying how much fun he is... The sheer distance he creates and decoy makes him the perfect support for characters like chixia or yin-lin who is currently the only distance DPS characters in the game right now.

@@cookiewithlove2081 Yes his damage multipliers suck like crazy and his basic attack damage is terrible, but that's why a majority of the damage done is from jump shots and mist missiles. The devs really did screwed him over with useless sequence nodes, and his Forte/skill tree, but even with those flaws, he can still work as a main dps. If you're comparing him to other characters, yes the damage might not compare. However, if you're looking at him being able to defeat all of the content in the game, ie tower of adversity and dif VI holograms (Solo even), he is still amazing. Also, him being able to do so despite the flaws and having "less damage", I'd say it's impressive. Kind of like an Amber main demolishing the Spiral Abyss 12th floor.

@@CVGTigz He needs a terrifying amount of investments though, is the big con. XD

@@cookiewithlove2081 Yes very true. I duno for me it is worth it...though I did just spend the past 2 weeks just working on Aalto and a bit on his supports.

Not me watching a guide video for a character I still haven't pulled. Seriously, I played his trial and loved him so much that I cursed myself. I've gotten so many copies of the other 2 rate up 4 stars and even a few non-rate ups, but not a single copy of Aalto. Please pray for me, I sorely need it!

i tried Main dps Baizhi and she is quite cracked mid game, the only downside is that she's lacking for bosses

Yup exactly! The game just came out so we still have lots to learn about different and creative ways to use a character's kit. The basic character tutorials show us the basics, but there's so many combos and different things you can do to really maximize a character's potential. 😆 Thank you for watching the video!

@@a4arick106 yea i think that's where the sub dps's role, and buffs, are very important. Like for tower of adversity, my Aalto, although amazing, shines very bright when it comes to single target, but when there's a large group of enemies and a time constraint, I need an AOE sub dps to help.

Yup! Great advice!

does it only activate on the dodge or perfect dodge?

@@Yewrenegade The mist procs when you do a perfect dodge

Whats ABS?

@@RHDYTstudio Always be shooting

The "WEEE" is one of the best voice lines in the game...up there with "bang bang bang bang bang" Thank you so much! I am glad Aalto's getting a lot of love and appreciation. 😍🥰❤

Same!

You're welcome bb 😆😘

yaaasssss! 👏👏👏 Aalto is so fun to play because his kit is just so different! I have Jiyan and Calcharo when i wanna button mash melee lol. But I always end up going back to the gunz blazing 😆😆😆

@@CVGTigz cant wait for future 5* gun users. It'll bring variety other than support only (not hating u mortefi, u need more adjustments than a Jiyan spear thrower) as they are likely to be flexible aaaaaand if the trailers can make them badass and kits be interesting, they can one up each other in a flash

@@Yewrenegade I can't waaiiiit for a new 5 star. It seems like it might be a while for us to get one 😫😭😫

Maybe Scar could be ?

@@Osangeg8xn i WISH! Scar looks so badass...but I think he's gauntlets since he kicks n punches n stuff during the boss fight. His skill or burst is probably the card throwing.

Awww thank you! it means a lot!

You're welcome! 🙃

OMMMGGGGG i woke up to it and i started screaming 😆😆😆😆. haha thank you!

Yessss Same 😍😍😍😍

Now coom

HAHAH sometimes crazy and genius are the same thing. 😆

Aww thank you for subscribing! I hope my vid helps you out!

Unfortunately most people did too 🥺

That's amazing! I'm gonna look at that next time I go online. Thank you for sharing this with us. The more tips and tricks the better. We want people to see that Aalto is amazing and has a really good kit!

@@CVGTigz totally. One thing I want to add, while it may seem that his inherent skill 1 and Resonance Chain 6 (RC-6) is useless, when PAIRED with Jiyan's outro skill (encourages the next resonator to do 2 Heavy Attacks within 8-sec window to inflict damage), then activating Feilian's echo skill to buff Aalto's heavy attack then his resonance liberation buffing the bullets passing before the 2 heavy attacks, I believe the damage is not to be underestimated since his RC-6 increases the dmg by 50% and if you're also using 5pc Sierra Gale echo set for Aalto then that's that. I think this is the most optimal rotation atm between Aalto and Jiyan when incorporating his heavy attack kit not to mention his heavy attack is guaranteed to crit every 30s and his Resonance Liberation (RC-6) also increases crit rate. CMIIW I have yet to check if it's possible to include in this rotation his resonance skill to taunt the enemy whilst increasing his ATK by 15% from RC-2, and the 25% aero buff for a short 6 sec from his RC-5 after mistcloak dash before doing 2 heavy attacks. Tldr; Ideal rotation within 8s upon swapping from Jiyan to RC-6 Aalto w/ Sierra gale set (+40% Aero DMG bonus) to maximize damage: Aalto's intro skill (mist is generated) > Mistcloak Dash (Aero DMG +25%) > Feilian's echo (Aero DMG +15%, Heavy Attack +12%) > Resonance Liberation (+10% ATK DMG, +8% crit rate)> Resonance Skill: Mist Avatar (ATK +15%) > 2 Heavy Attacks (+50% DMG increase, 1HA guaranteed to crit) > procs Jiyan's outro skill twice

@@greyyyisgood 🤔🤔i have jiyan so i can give it a shot 😆

Yay awesome! Thanks so much! I'm glad I was able to help with my video! I'll try to come out with more tips and tricks soon when I learn some more!😆

Nice! Sorry about the 50/50 but congrats on his 3rd node! The jumpshot playstyle with his R3 is just so fun and satisfying!

Thank you for watching! I hope it really helps you out! :)

ooo awesome! Thank you! Good to know!!!

You're welcome boo booooo :) ❤❤❤❤

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it was helpful :) 🥰🥰

Yaay! I hope you have fun using him and I hope this guide helps you figure it out! :)

Yasssss You're gonna love him! 😆

You got it!

I think so too!

yaaaay! Yes! I forgot to mention that he's great in exploring and traversing the overworld!

Yasss AALTO LOVERS AND MAINS UNITE! He's so underrated. I cant wait for those same people that say that make an updated tierlist with Aalto now much higher lol. A D-TIER character shouldn't be able to kill high level holograms...so like...he can't be a D-tier since he can solo high level holograms! 😆

@@CVGTigz I also agree that he's hot so he is my husbando til the end of time

boom boom is chixia skill's name

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

@@axylum4453 lol best voiceline in the game ...well next to Aalto saying "Weeeeeeee" lmao

3 shots mid air?? LMAO you're not jumping high enough lol I can get about 10 shots in within 1 jump; sometimes 9 if I don't jump high enough. But let's maths: the total percentage of a basic combo is 341.35 and the total of midair shots assuming you can get 10 shots in one jump is 436.60. With how fast I shoot it's about the same time as a basic attack combo. Lets say if you have 100% crit rate and 100% crit damage : basic attack 341.35+100% =682.70%, 10 midair jumps 436.60+100%=873.20%. Let's say you have 150% crit damage: 341.35+150%=853.38% 436.60+150%=1091.50% 200% Crit Damage: 341.35+200%=1024.05% 436.60+200%=1309.80% The difference between both basic and midair attacks increases the higher the crit damage goes up. When you also consider that firing many shots within a short period of time, you have more possibility of it procing a crit. vs the amount of procs you might get on just a 5 shot combo. This notion is the main reason that midair jumping is the most effective. It's common sense in gambling or anything dealing with probability that if you have more rolls/chances/shots, you have a higher percentage of winning/proc-ing. I've also noticed now more aalto mains doing the same thing and posting it on youtube...and it's because it's more effective. Even without the math I can visually see a healthbar and enemy dying much faster with midair shots. Before I tried jumpshotting...fighting with just the basic combo was very slow. Anyway, you might not think it's very much but with Aalto, supposedly bring D-tier and the weakest character, he can use all the added damage he can get. Also, I'm not sure what you're on about A6...what's that? His attacks combo has only 5 shots: not6. 🤔 Anyway, if you don't think it's worth it, do you boo. Everyone can play the game the way they want to play and the characters they want to play. I'm just out here trying to help people that want to play Aalto that might be struggling with clearing harder content. If you don't even wanna try something that can possibly help you, then don't. 😆😉👍

Yaassss! You so based fo that!

The liberation give an attack bonus to shots fired through the liberation gate...I havent tested it...but I'm assuming the mist bullets going through the gate also receive that bonus. Ideally, you want to do echo, liberation, skill, jumpshot, dash through the mist, and cast skill again. (or cast skill again and then dash through the mist - just depends if the mist is still there when you finish jumpshotting). I hope this video helps!

aww thank you 🥰

@@CVGTigz its fit for a aalto main or aalto user 😎✌️

@@ToraGeal I think that's why I felt that he resonated with me. 😆

@@CVGTigz it sure does im also a aalto enjoyer too 😎 and my main man

@@ToraGeal yesss Love to see another Aalto main!

Thank you! I'm thinking of making more guide videos since I had a lot of fun making this one. I don't normally do guide videos but now it's making me want to see other characters that are also underestimated lol.

@@CVGTigz yeah, like you said. You just see all of the potency. Then you reviewed it in youtube. Keep it up

@@RusminInayah thank you! 😁

same 😍😍😍

You're welcome!

Yea just something better than the lame bullet it shoots

LMAOOO THE WAY THAT WAS SCREAMING AT THAT PART WHILE I WAS PLAYING! I was hitting them Mariah Carey whistle notes! My Aalto was on life support hanging on for his dear life to that glider!!!!

Great question! He's amazing on single target and also can demolish groups in the open world. However, since he does not have AOE, he'll either need to be able to kill the entire mob quickly with as much buffs as possible or you'll need to have a very well built sub dps that can deal with the smaller enemies with their AOE. For example, Yinlin would be able to do that off field AOE.

Yaasss Aalto is so good! It's just people like us that know whats up lol but uhm....wtf is with that S6?! Uselessssss. Maybe they'll be adding a heavy attack buff for gun users in like future echoes or weapons.

@@CVGTigz For real. Not even sure what they up to. I wish they buff it to 25% atk to all team members just like every other 4 star.

@@warfare3gin yah that'd be amazing. They just did him so dirty with some of his kit. No wonder people underestimate him! 😫

😊😊🙏🙏

He's so fun to play and is just so smooth and cool! Well, E3 is his best constellation so that's a W. Congrats! I hope my video helps you kick ass with him :)

Yay I'm glad my video is getting people to try out Aalto! Just a note though, for difficult content, he is mostly a single target character...so you might want to pair him with a sub dps that can do AOE damage like Yinlin. :) I hope you have fun building him and playing him!

@@CVGTigz im about 150 pulls into yinlin banner and still dont have her lmao, but chixias the same way, aside from her ult, so im used to the single target dmg

@@TexasKing100 Good luck on your wishes! I hope you get her! looks like you're about there...10 more should be your guarantee?

@@CVGTigz ya, still tough looks needing to get to hard pity

@@TexasKing100 🥺

Haha i take that as a huge compliment 😆 THANK YOU!

haha he's so fun! Well I wouldnt say cheese exactly...Bosses are still pretty hard, can still get one shot if you dont have timing right, and you gotta deal as much damage to kill it before the timer ends. But yes, it definitely makes it easier to kill holograms lol. 😆

ooo I think i'm gonna have to try that!

Yea it's crazy how they know how to make a peak gun wielder but they ain't giving us one. The first 5 star gun user better be CRACKEDDDD AF

Yaaaay I'm happy to hear it! I hope this guide helps you use him! Have fun! He's so fun to play!

Yea I think that's how most people have been playing him. Some people think it's fun and flashy so they keep playing him...while meta people play like that and find the damage to be underwhelming. Jump attacking as much as you can while doing the pow-pow-pow dash through mist greatly increases his damage per second output. :) Hope this guide helped you out!

yes! You can put jiyan's echoes on him...and if you like what you're seeing and have fun using him...you can invest in building him. :) I hope this guide helps you learn how to use him! Thank you!

I'm always broke and completely out of resources because of trying to constantly leveling useless echoes 😩😩😩. Haha I feel for you too.

YAAAASS sounds like you're build is amazing! I love to see other Aalto mains kickin asss! Very great tips! Ugh trying to get echoes with substats you want is so harrrd...especially with so little echo level up resources! 😆😆😆😆

haha try him out! I hope you like him! He's just so fun to play and his English Voicelines are great! And I hope this guide helps :)

Haha i fell in love with him from the story as well as when I first played him. I love his personality! I'm glad you were able to have a change of heart with him. 😆

This is my first Kuro game...It makes me kinda wanna try Gray Ravens. Lee Palefire looks like my kind of gunner!

eh honestly you don't need to look far since Ma Xiaofang (lmao) is very much Lee Palefire re-polished. but still as far now GLB, Lee Palefire while outdated are still it very own experience. 🚬

AALTO MAINS UNITE!!!!

Well I got my first copy of Aalto on Jiyan's banner. I think you'll get more copies eventually since he's a standard 4 star.

haha well the thing is you have to try not to be too close to the enemy when using his ult. The boss can just walk through it, and as you said, if you try to dodge while in the enemy's face and right next to your gate of quandry...then you'll get smacked lol. It's all about positioning, patience, and knowing where and when to use your liberation. The devs have made it clear that the game is a skill based game...so if you master the mechanics you can kill higher level holograms. I mean, I did, so can you! I'm glad you're having fun using him. I think you'll be able to do high level holograms and harder content with him the more and more you get better using him, especially with better echoes. 😁

It's ok, much like all gacha games, building characters is slow since resources are limited. If you spend a week just focusing on just Aalto, you'll get him better much sooner!

SO HAPPY THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF US! 😆😆😆

EXACTLY! It's your game, play who you want! I also find tier lists to be misleading as most of the people creating them will have their favorites according to what they like in terms of damage and playstyle. Plus, the game hasn't really been out long enough for us to fully learn everyone's kits and tech that you wouldn't know until you've actually tried fully building and using their kit. I saw a streamer doing a tier list and they said they rated a person low but didnt even have that character leveled. Like, how would you know where that character stands if yours is Level 1?! Plus, if I've learned anything from Genshin, a character can come out and be not so great, but then a couple months later more characters artifacts and gear comes out and that character is like OP. LOL.

he's my baaayybeee 😍😍😍

Same!

RIGHT?! LOL

yea when i first got him on jiyan's banner, i wished a lot more hoping to get another copy (while also trying to get more copies of mortefi). I didnt get anymore on jiyans, but finally got more on Yinlins. I hope you get him! I'm sure you will eventually because he's a standard 4 star...and hopefully soon! Goodluck on your pulls!

It depends on which part of the kit u like to use the most...but the best alternatives are Undying Flame for added skill dmg, thunderbolt also is reliable since you are shooting a lot anyway. Nova burst if you dash more 😆

i wanna try playing him onfield too so any option for main dps role i guess >< im guessing thats the thunderbolt then? i have him on undying flame right now, is that okay for quickswap with him?

@@mewstone8442 I used the undying flame before I got the static mist. it worked greag

AWESOME! I hope this guide helps you how to use him! He's so fun to play I think you'll like him. :)

lol Jump shots do not seem to work well for Chixia and Mortefi. I think JumpShots are specifically for Aalto since he's able to shoot super fast and deal way more damage than his standard basic attack...but the dev's didnt bother mentioning it anywhere in the game. 😆😅

LMAO...i'm still echo farming...ugh it was the only one i could find that had a crit stat on it. I have tons of that frikkin bird echo and they're all terrible 😫😭

@@CVGTigz one tip to save resources is to not spend any more if the first stat is not crit 💀 (If you wanna be super stingy) but as a gambler, you can only stop leveling after getting one bad stay As a super gambler don’t stop 💀👌

@@mrchubzdathird5449 i gamble/whale, so I put all resources in to get it from lvl 1-25 in one go most of the time. lol If i dont like it, I just feed it into another one. 😆😆😆😆 It just sucks when you cant find the main stat you want.

@@CVGTigz personally, I just go on a murder chain then sacrifice the weak echoes to the promisng strong 💀

@@mrchubzdathird5449 You MURDERER!! So savage! I love it! 😆😆😆

yea i dont know what the hell the devs were thinking...his 1st inherent skill and his s6...like whyyyyyy

but also, i tried aalto with yinlin as sub dps! It's so funnnn! The lighting with his shots is just so satisfying!

@@CVGTigz someone needs to get fired who ever did aalto dirty xD but i got him to S3 pulling for yinlin so he wanted to come home. Also i got the static mist at 20pitty! Alt acc is blessed !

@christianhoyas5513 Yesss congrats! So lucky! S3 is his best one so yea you're gonna love him!

Aww Hopefully you'll get more of him since he's a standard 4 star. You'll get more copies eventually! I had S30 Yuanwu and like S50 Taoqi before i could get my Aalto to S6. And when I was trying to get S6 Mortefi...I have like an S200 Danjin. 😅😅

@@CVGTigz I guess thats how valuable Aalto is compare to those 2.

@@clijsters3187 yea I think so

I think maybe aalto is a hidden gem that they made on purpose to throw us off...like they know he's OP lol

@@CVGTigz You're absolutely right!

what do you mean about the hard attacks. you might not be lifting your finger high enough to just shoot shoot shoot. Or you might be pressing too hard. 🤔

@@CVGTigz if i press my m1 long it becomes a heavy attack but i want to do bam bam bam with normal attack rather than clicking click click clikc bc my index finger hurts. sorry if i cant explain it in deatil my english is not perfect

@@desare5135 no worries about the english I think I get it. But are you using mobile phone ? or pc?

Lol yea I got Jiyan and built him really good, but the playstyle got boring because it was mostly just holding down his attack with his liberation, and a bunch of plunging. Luckily we can give Aalto all of his Echoes lol. Also, Jiyan is just there now as eye candy and trophy husbando.

Me too! But if the next one isnt as cool as Aalto, I'll just take that 5*'s gun and give it to Aalto. lol

*Aalto is cool 😉

I wouldn't judge based on 4 star. All of the units right now have potential to be amazing. For example Danjin does incredible damage and she's a 4 atar

I got my first copy on Jiyan's banner. Although I was wishing on Jiyan's banner hoping to get R6 Mortefi (I ended up with R5 before it ended), I still only got the 1 copy of Aalto, all the while getting 2 copies of Jiyan and a lost 50/50 to Jianxin. When Yinlin's banner came out and I saw that Aalto had rate up...i wished as much as i could for Aalto. I didnt even want Yinlin. I was able to get Aalto to R6, but at the cost of 2 copies of Yinlin and another copy of Jianxin. I DO NOT recommend anyone doing what I did. I only do it because I whale on Genshin and now on Wuwa. 😅😆

I have not...but i did notice when I'm in the enemy's face and casting mist bullets, sometimes they fly away and dont hit the enemy .

@@CVGTigz Yes, yes, that. Is that a bug or what? They need to fix it, it's so annoying.

@@RHDYTstudio most likely a bug. I also notice when I'm too close to an enemy and they do like a jump/pounce attack...they end up above me hitting an invisible ceiling and they're up there for a while. lol.

@@CVGTigz I haven't experienced that one but I sometimes fight enemies inside terrain and only plunge attack can hit them

@@RHDYTstudio whaat? are you on mobile or pc? I've had where when I parried, the parry animation loops over and over non stop and i have to restart the game. lol

LOL to each his own. :) But you're missing out...he's so fun to play! 😆

dooo it!!!

OOO i wanna try making an all gun team. Since they're shooters...might not need a healer lol 🤔 Especially in the open world. Also, Mortefi is great! I was trying to get him to S6 but only managed to get him to S5. He's still great even at S0. I just like airjumping with Aalto more...it feels like it's something meant for Aalto and not for Mortefi.

yes unfortunately it took me 2 Yinlins and 1 Jianxin to get him to c6. lol He's a standard 4 star though, so you'll naturally get him to c6 eventually whenever you wish on any banner. I hope you get him many many times soon! 😆

Congrats! Yah that's the way to go. I had leveled Jiyan at first but then decided to go Aalto main...I put all my focus on building him before everyone else. Took a while but totally worth it!

@@CVGTigz yes!! People might not see him but we do!! XD

Exactly!
