Camellya Build Guide – Wuthering Waves 1.4 & 2.2 Rerun – February 2026

🌸 Crimson Pistils (Forte Gauge)

• ✓
  Maximum capacity: 100 Crimson Pistils
• ✓
  Gained from: Intro Skill Everblooming (+100), Ephemeral activation (+100)
• ✓
  Used to generate Concerto Energy and Crimson Buds

🌺 Blossom Mode (Enhanced State)

• ✓
  Activated by Resonance Skill: Crimson Blossom or Floral Ravage
• ✓
  Camellya becomes stationary but gains vine-enhanced attacks with wider range
• ✓
  Drains Stamina over time — position carefully before entering
• ✓
  Builds Concerto Energy to unlock Ephemeral activation

💥 Budding Mode (Super State)

• ✓
  Activated by Ephemeral when Concerto Energy is full (costs 70 Concerto)
• ✓
  Sweet Dream: Base damage multiplier increased by +50%
• ✓
  Consumes all Crimson Buds — each bud adds +5% damage multiplier (up to +50%)
• ✓
  Total maximum multiplier: +100% with 10 Crimson Buds consumed
• ✓
  Energy Regen multiplier reduced to 0% during Budding Mode
• ✓
  Ends when Crimson Pistils are depleted or when switched off-field

Core Gameplay Loop: Enter Blossom Mode → Build Concerto Energy with vine attacks → Activate Ephemeral at full Concerto → Enter Budding Mode with maximized Crimson Buds → Unleash devastating enhanced attacks → Exit and repeat cycle

🗡️ Basic Attack: Vining Flourish

Performs up to 5 consecutive sword strikes dealing Havoc DMG. After BA3 or Heavy Attack, hold Normal Attack button to enter Blazing Waltz — a continuous spinning strike that deals multi-hit Havoc DMG. BA4 automatically chains into BA5.

During Blossom Mode, these become enhanced vine attacks with wider range and higher multipliers.

🌸 Resonance Skill: Crimson Blossom / Floral Ravage

Crimson Blossom: Enters Blossom Mode, dealing AoE Havoc DMG and enhancing subsequent attacks.

Floral Ravage: Mid-air variant that transitions into Blossom Mode while airborne.

Ephemeral: Activated when Concerto Energy is full — consumes 70 Concerto, deals massive AoE Havoc DMG (considered Basic Attack DMG), and enters Budding Mode with damage multiplier bonuses.

💥 Resonance Liberation: Fervor Efflorescent

Consumes 125 Resonance Energy to unleash a devastating vine eruption dealing massive AoE Havoc DMG. Can be used during both Blossom and Budding Modes. Best used during Budding Mode for maximum damage output with Sweet Dream multipliers active.

🌺 Intro Skill: Everblooming

Deals Havoc DMG and instantly recovers 100 Crimson Pistils, allowing immediate access to resource generation. This is critical for her rotation — always swap to Camellya with Intro Skill active to maximize efficiency.

🔄 Outro Skill: Twining

Grants the incoming Resonator +23% Havoc DMG Amplification for 14 seconds. After activating Ephemeral, the next Outro Skill deals additional massive Havoc DMG. Excellent for cycling to other Havoc DPS teammates like Danjin, Havoc Rover, or Roccia.

⭐ Red Spring (5-Star Signature)

Camellya’s signature weapon and her absolute best-in-slot. Increases ATK by 24%. When dealing Basic Attack DMG, gain +20% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 14s (stacks up to 3 times, once per second). When Concerto Energy is consumed, gain +80% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 10s (once per second, ends when switched off-field).

Verdict: Best weapon by a significant margin. The Basic Attack DMG scaling synergizes perfectly with her kit. Recommended pull target: S0R1 (Camellya S0 + Red Spring R1).

⭐ Alternative 5-Star Options

• ⚔️
  Emerald of Genesis: Provides Crit Rate and ATK%. Solid stat stick for balancing Crit ratios.
• ⚔️
  Blazing Brilliance: Alternative for Crit Rate and general damage buffs.

⭐ Best F2P / 4-Star Options

• ✓
  Somnoire Anchor (Best F2P): Event weapon from Somnium Labyrinth. Grants virtually free +20% ATK bonus and Crit Rate stacking. Excellent for F2P players.
• ✓
  Lumingloss: Provides decent base stats and Basic Attack DMG buff — great budget option.
• ✓
  Sword of Night (3-Star): Absolute budget option for brand new players. Significantly weaker than 4-star alternatives.

⭐ Havoc Eclipse (5-PC)

Best overall set for Camellya. 2-PC: +10% Havoc DMG. 5-PC: +7.5% Havoc DMG after releasing Basic Attack or Heavy Attack. Stacks up to 4 times, each stack lasts 15s.

Why it’s best: Perfect synergy with her Basic Attack-focused kit. Easy to maintain stacks during both Blossom and Budding Modes. Maximum Havoc DMG amplification.

🎭 Alternative: Mixed Echo Sets

Havoc Eclipse (2-PC) + ATK% (2-PC): For players still farming optimal pieces. Provides +10% Havoc DMG and +10% ATK%.

👻 Main Echo Options

• ✓
  Dreamless (Recommended): 6 consecutive strikes with Havoc DMG. Easy to swap-cancel at end of rotation.
• ✓
  Crownless (Alternative): Solid alternative with similar damage profile.

🎯 Target Stats

📈 Substat Priority

Energy Regen (10%) > Crit Rate / Crit DMG > ATK% > Basic Attack DMG Bonus > Flat ATK > Resonance Skill DMG Bonus

Basic Attack DMG Bonus is extremely valuable as most of her kit scales off Basic Attack damage, including Ephemeral.

⭐ Premium Team: Camellya Hypercarry

• ✓
  Roccia provides +20% Havoc DMG and +25% Basic Attack DMG Amplification via Outro Skill (14s duration)
• ✓
  Roccia also provides critical crowd control via tornado pull, grouping enemies for Camellya’s AoE
• ✓
  Shorekeeper provides universal Crit buffs, healing, and sustain with Stellarealm field
• ✓
  This is Camellya’s current best team as of February 2026 — highest damage ceiling and excellent utility

✓ F2P Team: Budget Hypercarry

• ✓
  Sanhua provides +38% Basic Attack DMG Amplification (S6: +20% ATK) — perfect for Camellya
• ✓
  Sanhua has extremely fast rotation (<10 seconds) allowing Camellya maximum field time
• ✓
  Baizhi provides healing and ATK buffs — completely F2P option
• ✓
  Verina is superior to Baizhi if available — provides better team-wide buffs
• ✓
  This team is highly F2P-friendly and performs extremely well even without premium units

⚔️ Alternative Options

• •
  Danjin: Alternative Sub-DPS if Sanhua is taken by another team. Provides +23% Havoc DMG (S6: +20% ATK). Longer rotation than Sanhua.
• •
  Yinlin: Can provide off-field DPS alongside Camellya’s Basic Attacks. Requires enemy marking management.
• •
  Havoc Rover: Budget alternative Main DPS if you don’t have Camellya — Roccia + Baizhi still works with Havoc Rover.

S1 — Interrupt Resistance

Casting Intro Skill Everblooming increases Crit DMG by +28% for 18s (once every 25s). Immune to interruptions while casting Ephemeral. Nice quality-of-life, not mandatory.

S2 — MASSIVE DAMAGE SPIKE ⭐

Ephemeral damage multiplier increased by +120%. Actual damage improvement: ~23.44% — this is Camellya’s single most impactful sequence node. Highly recommended stopping point for spenders.

S3 — Liberation & ATK Buff

Resonance Liberation damage multiplier increased by +50%. During Budding Mode, ATK increased by +58%. Solid power increase.

S4 — Team-Wide Buff

Casting Everblooming gives all team members +25% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 30s. Nice for team synergy but not essential for solo performance.

S5 — Intro & Outro Multipliers

Intro Skill damage increased by +303%, Outro Skill damage increased by +68%. Minor overall impact.

S6 — Perennial & Sweet Dream Buff ⭐

Sweet Dream damage multiplier increased by +150%. Unlocks Forte Circuit: Perennial — within 15s after Ephemeral, if Concerto is full, Resonance Skill becomes Perennial (costs 50 Concerto, recovers 50 Crimson Pistils, deals 100% of Ephemeral damage). Camellya enters Budding Mode with all Crimson Buds removed and Sweet Dream bonus increased to +250%. Immune to interruptions when casting Perennial.

Theoretical improvement: 80%+, actual benefit: ~55-60% due to extended rotation time. Only for whales.

⚡ Standard Rotation

💡 Rotation Tips

• ✓
  Always swap to Camellya with Intro Skill active to recover 100 Crimson Pistils
• ✓
  Build maximum Crimson Buds (10) before activating Ephemeral for +100% total damage multiplier
• ✓
  Position carefully before entering Blossom Mode — you become stationary and drain Stamina
• ✓
  Use Echo Skill (Dreamless) at the end of rotation and swap-cancel immediately
• ✓
  Save Resonance Liberation for Budding Mode to benefit from Sweet Dream multipliers

🌺 The Bloom Bearer’s Dance

Camellya is a T1.5 Havoc Hypercarry with a uniquely satisfying dual-mode transformation system built around Budding and Blossom states. She excels in AoE wave clearing with exceptional radius and damage output, making her the premier choice for Whimpering Wastes content. Her Basic Attack scaling and vine-enhanced combat style provide one of the most visually stunning and mechanically engaging experiences in Wuthering Waves.

What makes her worth pulling? She is extremely F2P-friendly with Sanhua as a top-tier Sub-DPS option, and her AoE damage is unmatched in multi-target scenarios. Her S2 sequence node is one of the strongest individual upgrades in the game (~23% damage increase). She remains competitive in endgame content despite the introduction of newer DPS characters.

Final Recommendation: Pull with Red Spring (signature weapon) for maximum performance or Somnoire Anchor as F2P alternative. Use Havoc Eclipse (5-PC) with Dreamless as main echo. Pair with Roccia + Shorekeeper for premium team, or Sanhua + Baizhi/Verina for F2P. Consider stopping at S2R1 if investing in sequences — it’s the highest value breakpoint.
