Cantarella has made her reappearance in Wuthering Waves’ 2.8 banners. To match with Havoc characters like Phrolova, Cantarella is a powerful Sub-DPS and Rectifier user just like the new girl. Havoc characters are niche which makes seeing the featured characters hold this element significant for the game. For players unfamiliar with this element, here are Cantarella’s best builds to reach her full potential as a Sub-DPS.
💪 Cantarella’s Strengths & Weaknesses
Cantarella works as a Sub-DPS character capable of healing and providing Sustain effects through Havoc. As with most Sub-DPS party members, she can perform great damage and give buffs while both on and off the field. Each attack is coordinated to be single-targeted that provides extra power against a set enemy. Cantarella is also great for exploration as she can swim easily and quickly through water.

Despite being a great Sub-DPS character, her full potential is limited by one major factor. Her power is based heavily around her Weapon choice. For example, since her kit relies on Echo Skills, having her signature Weapon that increases the Attack power on Skills is necessary for her base Attacks. Also, the Havoc element is incredibly niche which will require other rare party members to stack on it.

💣 The Best Weapons for Cantarella
Cantarella’s best Weapon is going to be her signature, Whispers of Sirens. While the power description for it looks a little simple, it’s a huge boost for her kit. Every Echo Skill gives a stack that increases her Attack power over time. Other strong Weapons have a similar stack on Attack power you can also use.

✨ The Best Main Echos & Sonatas for Cantarella
Cantarella’s best Echo Sets and Sonatas revolve around boosting her base Attack and the effectiveness of her Echo Skills.

By using the Sonatas necessary to increase her Havoc damage for example, you make up for any missing Havoc characters on your team too.
