Wuthering Waves Resonators Tier List
Rank every Resonator from SS to C tier in Wuthering Waves. Discover who dominates the meta and which characters to prioritize pulling.
Sigrika is a 5-star Aero Resonator in Wuthering Waves who wields Gauntlets and functions as a main DPS, with her kit built around dealing Echo Skill DMG. She performs well at S0, but maxing her out demands a specific set of materials that are almost entirely locked behind Lahai-Roi content. If you pulled her during version 3.2 Phase 1 and haven't started farming yet, this guide has everything you need to catch up fast.
Sigrika's ascension path requires three distinct material types, plus a significant amount of Shell Credits. Taking her from level 20 all the way to 90 will cost you 170,000 Shell Credits in total.
Arithmetic Shells are gatherable items found exclusively in Lahai-Roi, concentrated in the Royan area of Bjartr Woods, where 52 can be collected. You need a total of 60 Arithmetic Shells to fully ascend Sigrika, so a second source matters.
The NANA vendor inside Startorch Academy's Square sells up to 15 Arithmetic Shells per week for 3,000 Shell Credits each. Factor that into your weekly routine if you're short.
Our Choice drops from the Nameless Explorer, an overworld boss located in the SkyArk Space Station's Blocked Sector inside Mount Gjallar. You need 46 Our Choice for full ascension. The boss is normally accessed after completing Chapter 3 Act 3 of the main quest (The Star That Voyages Far), but Early Access through the Guidebook's Boss Challenge menu lets you fight it before finishing the story.
The four tiers of Exoswarm Pendant drop from Outcast enemies in Lahai-Roi and Roya Frostlands. Specifically, Outcast Executioners and Thundstaff Outcasts are your primary targets. Ascension requires the following:
| Rank Range | Key Materials | Shell Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 20 → 40 | Fractured Exoswarm Pendant x4 | 5,000 |
| 40 → 50 | Our Choice x3, Arithmetic Shell x4, Worn Exoswarm Pendant x4 | 10,000 |
| 50 → 60 | Our Choice x6, Arithmetic Shell x8, Worn Exoswarm Pendant x8 | 15,000 |
| 60 → 70 | Our Choice x9, Arithmetic Shell x12, Chipped Exoswarm Pendant x4 | 20,000 |
| 70 → 80 | Our Choice x12, Arithmetic Shell x16, Chipped Exoswarm Pendant x8 | 40,000 |
| 80 → 90 | Our Choice x16, Arithmetic Shell x20, Intact Exoswarm Pendant x4 | 80,000 |
Forte upgrades are the expensive part. Fully maxing all of Sigrika's Forte skills costs 2,030,000 Shell Credits, making Shell Credit farming a real priority. The materials come from two main sources.
Sigrika uses Gauntlets, so her Forte materials come from the Lesson in Void Forgery Challenge domain in Lahai-Roi. A useful bonus: running this domain also drops Exoswarm Pendants passively, so you're farming two material categories at once.
Total Waveworn Shard requirements across all Forte upgrades:
Gold in Memory drops from Sigillum, the weekly boss found through the Gate of the Lost Star portal in Tidelost Forest, northwest of the Resonance Nexus. You need 26 Gold in Memory total for full Forte completion. Like the Nameless Explorer, Early Access through the Guidebook lets you challenge Sigillum before finishing the relevant main quest chapter.

Combined with ascension needs, you're looking at 29 Fractured, 40 Worn, 52 Chipped, and 61 Intact Exoswarm Pendants across the full build. Outcast farming in Lahai-Roi will take multiple sessions.
S2, S3, and S6 are Sigrika's strongest nodes, with S2 and S3 being the most practical stopping point for players not going all the way to S6.
| Node | Effect Summary | Value |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | +70% DMG multiplier on enhanced Basic Attacks and Resonance Skills; interruption immunity; Encapculated stacks up to 3 | Solid QoL |
| S2 | +120% Forte Circuit (Learn My True Name) DMG multiplier; Divergent buff when out of combat 4s+ | High priority |
| S3 | Innate Gift? stacks up to 4 and no longer removed on Forte cast or off-field swap | High priority |
| S4 | Party ATK +20% for 20s when any member casts Echo Skill | Team utility |
| S5 | Resonance Liberation DMG multiplier +30% | Minor boost |
| S6 | Enemies take 30% more DMG from Sigrika; each Innate Gift? stack gives 15% DMG Amplification (up to 60%) and 7.5% DEF ignore (up to 30%) | Massive spike |
S2 delivers a 120% boost to Sigrika's nuke damage through her Forte Circuit, which is her primary damage window. S3 doubles the DMG Amplification uptime by letting Innate Gift? stacks persist through her rotation. Together, they represent a meaningful damage increase without requiring S6 investment.
S6 is genuinely strong, with a 30% universal damage increase plus stacking DEF penetration, but the cost of reaching it from S0 is steep. S0 is still completely viable for all content.
Here's the order to tackle Sigrika's materials based on weekly resets and Waveplate efficiency:
