Build for Mortefi in Wuthering Waves

Mortefi is a fourth-star character who wields the power of Fusion.

Mortefi harnesses intense heat, conjuring a flame that blazes like a rampaging red dragon, its fiery tendrils engulfing his arm. With utmost elegance, he emerges from the swirling smoke, effortlessly warding off any foe that dares to cross his path.

Best Mortefi Build

Mortefi is a Hybrid character, excelling with Heavy Attack-based damage dealers, notably synergizing with Jiyan. His Outro buff significantly boosts Heavy Attack damage for the next character, while his Ultimate adds coordinated attacks for all allies, doubling for Heavy Attacks and enhancing overall damage.

Mortefi fast Concerto rotation maximizes field time for main DPS characters, and his Sequences boost his effectiveness further. Sequence 1 adds more coordinated attacks, Sequence 4 extends Ultimate duration to 17 seconds, and Sequence 6 offers a 20% team-wide ATK buff. As a result, Mortefi is a top-tier 4-star character, especially powerful when paired with Jiyan.

Pros of Mortefi:

  • Insane Sequences that further increase his strength (Sequence 1: Adds more coordinated attacks, Sequence 4: Extends Ultimate duration, Sequence 6: Offers a 20% team-wide ATK buff).
  • Provides good personal damage as well as strong buffs for allies' heavy attacks.
  • Coordinated Attacks via Ultimate amplify damage, especially with heavy attackers.
  • Best synergy with the legendary character Jiyan (as of version 1.0).

Cons of Mortefi:

  • The most ideal weapon at the moment is considered to be 5* Static Mist. It fully unlocks his sub-DPS potential without requiring additional conditions or complex rotations.
  • Long Ultimate cooldown.

Best Mortefi Weapon

Static Mist S1 is the best five-star weapon for all sub-DPS pistol users. It offers everything you need: a reliable passive, high ATK, crit rate, and Energy Recharge.

Novaburst S1, Undying Flame S1, Pistols#26 S1, and Thunderbolt S1 are good four-star options for the character. They are all nearly equal in damage output, with the latter falling behind the former by about 4%. It's recommended to choose a weapon based on availability and playstyle, as each passive has different requirements. 3* Pistols of Night S5 - temporary options for beginners.

Best Teams with Mortefi

Mortefi boosts Heavy ATK DMG with his "Deepen" Outro, a powerful multiplier. His synergy with Jiyan is perfect: Jiyan extended field presence complements Mortefi minimal requirement, allowing for effective buffing and support actions during cooldowns.

An experimental option for fans of Jianxin as the main DPS. It’s not for everyone, but it serves as an interesting variation for Tower and endgame content.
