Ciaccona’s Abilities in Wuthering Waves: Leaks Revealed
Basic Attack: What You Need to Know
According to leaks from Team Gemberry78, Ciaccona offers a compelling set of basic attacks:
- Basic Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes, inflicting Aero DMG. The fourth attack applies Aero Erosion to the target, followed by a Melodic Solo. If interrupted, an Ensemble High Shadow (a clone of Ciaccona) continues her attack.
- Heavy Attack: Consumes stamina to launch a powerful assault dealing Aero DMG.
- Mid-air Attack: Consumes stamina for two aerial strikes that also deal Aero DMG.
Resonance Skill Explained
When Ciaccona activates her Resonance Skill, she swiftly dashes towards the enemy, dealing Aero damage and applying a stack of the Aero Erosion Effect. A second use of the skill after a cooldown allows her to utilize her Basic Attack combo, starting from the second attack.
Understanding Ciaccona’s Resonance Liberation
Upon activation of the Resonance Liberation, Ciaccona generates a small field and summons an Ensemble High Shadow, culminating in a Symphony’s Finale. Hitting the button at the right time (as prompted on-screen) while she is active will:
- Replenish a portion of her Concerto Energy.
- Inflict Aero damage on surrounding foes.
- Apply a Wind Erosion stack to enemies in the vicinity.
If Ciaccona exits the field while her Resonance field is active, it will trigger her passive ability, Interlude Accompaniment, allowing her Symphony’s Finale effects to persist.
Forte Skill: Enhancements at Full Melody
Once the Melody bar is full, Ciaccona’s Heavy Attacks gain a substantial boost. Executing these attacks damages enemies continuously while pulling them closer. Both the fourth Basic Attack and the Resonance Skill contribute to gaining Melody stacks, up to a maximum of three.
Ciaccona’s Inherent Skills Unveiled
