Special Notes

  • No cooldowns for outros.
  • Swapping units mid-air may save a full bar of energy.

Handling Swaps and Cooldowns

Switching Units

Swapping units doesn’t clear their concerto energy. The new unit will start with how much they had when previously swapped out.

Example Scenario

If you fill up Verina's bar, then switch to Mortefi and start filling his bar, you'll lose a lot of Verina's buff uptime. Instead, fill Mortefi's bar to 70%, switch to Verina, fill her bar completely, then switch back to Mortefi. This way, you can maximize the damage of your main DPS.

Intro/Outro Mechanics in Coop

Using Skills in Coop

  • Intro skills can be used in coop by clicking on the person’s icon.
  • Both players need their bars filled to use intro and outro skills together.
Apparently, you can use intro skills in coop by clicking on the person's icon. I'm guessing it can trigger with 1, 2, 3 as well, but I don’t play coop, so I can’t confirm.

Special Mechanics and Future Updates

Unique Scenarios

  • Characters may have special animations when switching, depending on their skill set.
  • Some weapons have passive bonuses that give flat concerto energy when a character activates their skill.

Looking Ahead

Be prepared for changes with full releases and updates from the developers, Kuro. New characters and weapons might introduce different mechanics for intros and outros.

By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be better equipped to handle the complexities of Wuthering Waves' intro and outro mechanics. Happy gaming!
