Looking for the best build for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves? Calcharo is a DPS machine in Wuthering Waves , boasting a powerful fighting style that lets him exchange stacks of two resources - Cruelty and Killing Intent - in exchange for inflicting massive combos that can decimate any opponent on the field. Currently one of the top Resonators in the game, Calcharo’s worth mastering if you want to bring big damage to the forefront of your team and slay bosses fast.
In this guide, we’ll explain the best build for Calcharo and also offer a breakdown of his skillset.

Calcharo is a 5-Star Spectro Resonator who uses a Broadblade. Once you’ve pulled him, outfit him with the following gear and team composition:
- Best weapon: Verdant Summit Our pick for Calcharo’s best weapon is the 5-Star Broadblade Verdant Summit. It’s technically Jiyan’s trademark weapon, but it also works well for Calcharo by increasing the damage bonus of all his Resonance attributes by 12%.
- Best main Echo: Tempest Mephis Tempest Mephis is an Echo tailor-made for Calcharo, as it increases Electro and Heavy Attack damage. You’ll also be able to transform briefly into Tempest Mephis when activating this Echo, leading to extended combos.
- Best Echo Sonata Effect: Void Thunder Go for a 5 Set Void Thunder Sonata Effect when equipping Calcharo. The set will amplify his Electro damage bonus and allow him to hit even harder after unleashing his Heavy Attack or Extermination Order.
- Best teammates: Jianxin, Verina As a heavy duty damage dealer, Calcharo will take the main DPS role in your team. He’s best supported with a solid support DPS, and Jianxin fits the ticket (though Yinlin, when she becomes available in Wuthering Waves’ next banner , will also be a great choice). Use Verina to heal both Calcharo and whichever Resonator you choose for your sub DPS.
Calcharo skills in Wuthering Waves
Calcharo active skills
Calcharo has the following active skills at his disposal:
| Skill Type | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Gnawing Fangs | Calcharo inflicts up to 4 consecutive attacks, dealing Electro damage each time. The heavy attack and mid-air attack versions of this skill consume Stamina. |
| Resonance Skill | Extermination Order | Calcharo inflicts up to 3 attacks that deal Electro damage. If Calcharo is taken off-field or Extermination Order is not repeated, this skill goes on a cooldown. Extermination Order generates 1 stack of Cruelty. |
| Resonance Liberation | Phantom Etching | Calcharo attacks a target and deals Electro damage, entering his Deathblade Gear state. While in this state, Calcharo cannot generate stacks of Cruelty, and his basic attack turns into Hounds Roar, which inflicts up to 5 consecutive strikes, dealing Electro damage each time. Whenever Hounds Roar hits an enemy, Calcharo also gains 1 stack of Killing Intent. When Hours Roar ends, Calcharo’s next Intro Skill turns into Necessary Means. |
| Intro Skill | Wanted Outlaw | Calcharo tags in to attack a nearby target, dealing Electro damage. |
| Outro Skill | Shadowy Raid | Calcharo tags out, summoning a Phantom to support the next Resonator. The Phantom attacks nearby targets and deals Electro damage equal to 196% + 392% of Calcharo’s Attack stat. |
Calcharo passive skills
Calcharo has the following passive skills at his disposal:
| Skill Type | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Forte Circuit | Hunting Mission | When Calcharo has 3 stacks of Cruelty, his Heavy Attack is replaced with Mercy, which causes him to consume all 3 stacks to deal Electro damage. This is considered Heavy Attack damage, and recovers both Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy. When Calcharo has 5 stacks of Killing Intent, his Heavy Attack is replaced with Death Messenger, which causes him to consume all 5 stacks to deal Electro Damage. This is considered Resonance Liberation damage, and recovers both Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy. |
| Inherent Skill | Bloodshed Awaken | Whenever Calcharo uses Mercy, his Resonance Liberation damage bonus is increased by 10% for 15 seconds. |
| Inherent Skill | Revenant Rush | Whenever Calcharo’s Death Messenger hits an enemy, the damage taken by Calcharo is reduced by 15% for 5 seconds. |
Calcharo Resonance Chain skills
If you pull multiple copies of Calcharo, you can unlock new nodes on Calcharo’s Resonance Chain, acquiring the following skills:
| Resonance Chain Node | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Node One | Covert Negotiation | Whenever Calcharo hits a target with Extermination Order, he recovers 10 Resonance Energy. This can be triggered once every 20 seconds. |
| Node Two | Zero-Sum Game | After Calcharo uses Wanted Criminal or Necessary Means, his Resonance Skill damage bonus is increased by 30% for 15 seconds. |
| Node Three | Iron Fist Diplomacy | While in his Deathblade Gear state, Calcharo’s Electro damage bonus is increased by 25%. |
| Node Four | Dark Alliance | After using Shadowy Raid, the Electro damage bonus of all teammates is increased by 20% for 30 seconds. |
| Node Five | Unconventional Compact | Wanted Criminal and Necessary Means both deal 50% more damage. |
| Node Six | The Ultimatum | When using Death Messenger, Calcharo summons 2 Phantoms. Each phantom attacks and deals Electro damage equal to 100% of Calcharo’s attack. This is considered Resonance Liberation damage. |
How to use Calcharo in Wuthering Waves

When it comes to DPS in Version 1.0 of Wuthering Waves, Calcharo’s arguably the most effective damage dealer. Playing him requires a careful dance where you’ll constantly be using attacks to generate both Cruelty and Killing Intent , expending both resources whenever possible to deal pummeling combos that’ll knock large chunks off boss health bars. Above all else, you’ll want to learn the ins and outs of Calcharo’s Resonance Liberation skill Phantom Etching , as he’s quite reliant on it to maximise damage output.
Speaking of Phantoms, studying how to use the dark echoes that Calcharo leaves behind with some of his attacks is also pivotal. Pay attention in particular to his Outro Skill Shadowy Raid , which will come in handy when tagging Calcharo out of the arena. The Phantom left behind will go berserk as soon as your next Resonator enters the field, dealing stunning arrays of damage and giving you time to potentially use a support character like Verina to buff Calcharo’s next attack bursts.
Calcharo shines when he’s taking on single targets , as most of his skillset focuses on one foe. He falters when it comes to crowd control and AoE, which is why we suggest pairing him with a decent Sub DPS like Jianxin. Use Calcharo to massacre bosses, in other words - it’s what this silver-haired devil is best at.
That’s it for Calcharo’s best build in Wuthering Waves. For more on all of the Resonators available in the game, check out our Resonator tier list and guide to all Resonators in Wuthering Waves .

All 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints and where to get them
These areas have the highest chance of giving you Blueprints
Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Looking for more Arc Raiders Blueprints? It’s a special day when you find a Blueprint, as they’re among the most valuable items in Arc Raiders. If you find a Blueprint that you haven’t already found, then you must make sure you hold onto it at all costs, because Blueprints are the key to one of the most important and powerful systems of meta-progression in the game.
This guide aims to be the very best guide on Blueprints you can find, starting with a primer on what exactly they are and how they work in Arc Raiders, before delving into exactly where to get Blueprints and the very best farming spots for you to take in your search.
We’ll also go over how to get Blueprints from other unlikely activities, such as destroying Surveyors and completing specific quests. And you’ll also find the full list of all 75 Blueprints in Arc Raiders on this page (including the newest Blueprints added with the Cold Snap update , such as the Deadline Blueprint and Firework Box Blueprint), giving you all the information you need to expand your own crafting repertoire.
In this guide:
- What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?
- Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes
- Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders Blueprints obtained from quests Blueprints obtained from Trials Best Blueprint farming locations
What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?
Blueprints in Arc Raiders are special items which, if you manage to extract with them, you can expend to permanently unlock a new crafting recipe in your Workshop. If you manage to extract from a raid with an Anvil Blueprint, for example, you can unlock the ability to craft your very own Anvil Pistol, as many times as you like (as long as you have the crafting materials).
To use a Blueprint, simply open your Inventory while in the lobby, then right-click on the Blueprint and click “Learn And Consume” . This will permanently unlock the recipe for that item in your Workshop. As of the Stella Montis update, there are allegedly 75 different Blueprints to unlock - although only 68 are confirmed to be in the game so far. You can see all the Blueprints you’ve found and unlocked by going to the Workshop menu, and hitting “R” to bring up the Blueprint screen.
It’s possible to find duplicates of past Blueprints you’ve already unlocked. If you find these, then you can either sell them, or - if you like to play with friends - you can take it into a match and gift it to your friend so they can unlock that recipe for themselves. Another option is to keep hold of them until the time comes to donate them to the Expedition.

Note: The missing Blueprints in this list likely have not actually been added to the game at the time of writing, because none of the playerbase has managed to find any of them. As they are added to the game, I will update this page with the most relevant information so you know exactly how to get all 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints.
Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders
Below is a list of all containers, modifiers, and events which maximise your chances of finding Blueprints:
- Certain quests reward you with specific Blueprints .
- Completing Trials has a high chance of offering Blueprints as rewards.
- Surveyors have a decent chance of dropping Blueprints on death.
- High loot value areas tend to have a greater chance of spawning Blueprints.
- Night Raids and Storms may increase rare Blueprint spawn chances in containers.
- Containers with higher numbers of items may have a higher tendency to spawn Blueprints. As a result, Blue Gate (which has many “large” containers containing multiple items) may give you a higher chance of spawning Blueprints.
- Raider containers (Raider Caches, Weapon Boxes, Medical Bags, Grenade Tubes) have increased Blueprint drop rates. As a result, the Uncovered Caches event gives you a high chance of finding Blueprints.
- Security Lockers have a higher than average chance of containing Blueprints.
- Certain Blueprints only seem to spawn under specific circumstances: Tempest Blueprint only spawns during Night Raid events. Vulcano Blueprint only spawns during Hidden Bunker events. Jupiter and Equaliser Blueprints only spawn during Harvester events.
Raider Caches, Weapon Boxes, and other raider-oriented container types have a good chance of offering Blueprints. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Blueprints have a very low chance of spawning in any container in Arc Raiders, around 1-2% on average. However, there is a higher chance of finding Blueprints in particular container types. Specifically, you can find more Blueprints in Raider containers and security lockers.
Beyond this, if you’re looking for Blueprints you should focus on regions of the map which are marked as having particularly high-value loot. Areas such as the Control Tower in Dam Battlegrounds, the Arrival and Departure Buildings in Spaceport, and Pilgrim’s Peak in Blue Gate all have a better-than-average chance of spawning Blueprints somewhere amongst all their containers. Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storm events also increase the drop chances of certain Blueprints .
In addition to these containers, you can often loot Blueprints from destroyed Surveyors - the largest of the rolling ball ARC. Surveyors are more commonly found on the later maps - Spaceport and Blue Gate - and if one spawns in your match, you’ll likely see it by the blue laser beam that it casts into the sky while “surveying”.
Surveyors are quite well-armoured and will very speedily run away from you once it notices you, but if you can take one down then make sure you loot all its parts for a chance of obtaining certain unusual Blueprints.
Blueprints obtained from quests
One way in which you can get Blueprints is by completing certain quests for the vendors in Speranza. Some quests will reward you with a specific item Blueprint upon completion, so as long as you work through all the quests in Arc Raiders, you are guaranteed those Blueprints.
Here is the full list of all Blueprints you can get from quest rewards:
- Trigger Nade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Sparks Fly”.
- Lure Grenade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Greasing Her Palms”.
- Burletta Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Industrial Espionage”.
- Hullcracker Blueprint (and Launcher Ammo Blueprint): Rewarded after completing “The Major’s Footlocker”.
Alas, that’s only 4 Blueprints out of a total of 75 to unlock, so for the vast majority you will need to find them yourself during a raid. If you’re intent on farming Blueprints, then it’s best to equip yourself with cheap gear in case you lose it, but don’t use a free loadout because then you won’t get a safe pocket to stash any new Blueprint you find. No pain in Arc Raiders is sharper than failing to extract with a new Blueprint you’ve been after for a dozen hours already.
One of the best ways to get Blueprints is by hitting three stars on all five Trials every week. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Blueprints obtained from Trials
One of the very best ways to get Blueprints is as rewards for completing Trials in Arc Raiders. Trials are unlocked from Level 15 onwards, and allow you to earn rewards by focusing on certain tasks over the course of several raids. For example, one Trial might task you with dealing damage to Hornets, while another might challenge you to loot Supply Drops.
Trials refresh on a weekly basis, with a new week bringing five new Trials. Each Trial can offer up to three rewards after passing certain score milestones, and it’s possible to receive very high level loot from these reward crates - including Blueprints. So if you want to unlock as many Blueprints as possible, you should make a point of completing as many Trials as possible each week.
Best Blueprint farming locations
The very best way to get Blueprints is to frequent specific areas of the maps which combine high-tier loot pools with the right types of containers to search. Here are my recommendations for where to find Blueprints on every map, so you can always keep the search going for new crafting recipes to unlock.
Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Dam Battlegrounds
The best places to farm Blueprints on Dam Battlegrounds are the Control Tower, Power Generation Complex, Ruby Residence, and Pale Apartments . The first two regions, despite only being marked on the map as mid-tier loot, contain a phenomenal number of containers to loot. The Control Tower can also contain a couple of high-tier Security Lockers - though of course, you’ll need to have unlocked the Security Breach skill at the end of the Survival tree.
There’s also a lot of reporting amongst the playerbase that the Residential areas in the top-left of the map - Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence - give you a comparatively strong chance of finding Blueprints. Considering their size, there’s a high density of containers to loot in both locations, and they also have the benefit of being fairly out of the way. So you’re more likely to have all the containers to yourself.
Buried City
The best Blueprint farming locations on Buried City are the Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Town Hall, and the various buildings of the New District . Grandioso Apartments has a lower number of containers than the rest, but a high chance of spawning weapon cases - which have good Blueprint drop rates. The others are high-tier loot areas, with plenty of lootable containers - including Security Lockers.
Spaceport
The best places to find Blueprints on Spaceport are the Arrival and Departure Buildings, as well as Control Tower A6 and the Launch Towers . All these areas are labelled as high-value loot regions, and many of them are also very handily connected to one another by the Spaceport wall, which you can use to quickly run from one area to the next. At the tops of most of these buildings you’ll find at least one Security Locker, so this is an excellent farming route for players looking to find Blueprints.
The downside to looting Blueprints on Spaceport is that all these areas are hotly contested, particularly in Duos and Squads. You’ll need to be very focused and fast in order to complete the full farming route.
Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Blue Gate
Blue Gate tends to have a good chance of dropping Blueprints, potentially because it generally has a high number of containers which can hold lots of items; so there’s a higher chance of a Blueprint spawning in each container. In my experience, the best Blueprint farming spots on Blue Gate are Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, the Ancient Fort, and the Underground Complex beneath the Warehouse .
All of these areas contain a wealth of containers to loot. Raider’s Refuge has less to loot, but the majority of the containers in and around the Refuge are raider containers, which have a high chance of containing Blueprints - particularly during major events.
Stella Montis
On the whole, Stella Montis seems to have a very low drop rate for Blueprints (though a high chance of dropping other high-tier loot). If you do want to try farming Blueprints on this map, the best places to find Blueprints in Stella Montis are Medical Research, Assembly Workshop, and the Business Center . These areas have the highest density of containers to loot on the map.
In addition to this, the Western Tunnel has a few different Security Lockers to loot, so while there’s very little to loot elsewhere in this area of the map, it’s worth hitting those Security Lockers if you spawn there at the start of a match.
That wraps up this primer on how to get all the Blueprints in Arc Raiders as quickly as possible. With the Expedition system constantly resetting a large number of players’ Blueprints, it’s more important than ever to have the most up-to-date information on where to find all these Blueprints.
