Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
"Sanguine Blossom" The blood-red flower of the Black Shores
Camellya is one of the Black Shores' Bloom Bearers, a free-spirited and dangerously alluring woman who lives in the moment without worrying about the past or the future. She roams Solaris in search of talented people. She wields a Sword with the Havoc element. Her Resonance Skill puts her into Blossom Mode, where she swings from vines, and once her Concerto Energy is full, Ephemeral opens Budding Mode; most of her damage comes from attacks that count as Basic Attacks. She is a main DPS who performs best with supports that boost Basic Attack and Havoc damage.
Camellya is a limited 5★ Resonator and does not appear on the standard banner; you can only pull her with Radiant Tides while her banner is active. She first arrived in version 1.4 with the "End of Lost Trail" banner that opened on November 14, 2024, and she got a rerun in the first phase of 2.2, at the same time as Cantarella. A 5★ is guaranteed within 80 pulls; your first 5★ has a 50% chance of being the featured character, and if you lose the 50/50, the next 5★ is guaranteed.
2-piece: Havoc DMG + 10%.
5-piece: Havoc DMG + 7.5% after releasing Basic Attack or Heavy Attack. This effect stacks up to 4 times, each stack lasts 15s.
The Havoc DMG stacks gained after Basic and Heavy Attacks stay full throughout Camellya's nonstop Basic Attack combos; the best set.
2-piece: ATK +10%
5-piece: While on the field, ATK increases by 5% every 1.5s. This effect stacks up to 4 times. Outro Skill DMG + 60%.
The ATK that stacks while she stays on the field and the 60% Outro Skill DMG bonus pair well with her Twining Outro, which is empowered after Ephemeral; the second-best option.
Nightmare: Crownless
In the main slot it grants 12% Havoc DMG and 12% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, and its 3-charge Echo Skill is easy to weave in between combos.
Her Forte fills Concerto Energy quickly, so she needs little Energy Regen; around 115% is enough. Stack crit stats and Basic Attack DMG Bonus with the 4-3-3-1-1 layout. If you do not have good 5-piece Echoes yet, 2 Havoc Eclipse + 2 Lingering Tunes works as a temporary solution.
Signature weapon. Grants a 24.3% Crit. Rate main stat and 12% ATK. The Basic Attack DMG Bonus that stacks with Basic Attack damage and the extra 40% bonus when Concerto is consumed (Ephemeral) make it a perfect fit for Camellya.
The standard banner's 5★ Sword. A solid alternative with its Crit. Rate main stat, Energy Regen and an ATK bonus that stacks after Resonance Skills.
Changli's signature weapon. Provides 48.6% Crit. DMG and 12% ATK; its Resonance Skill bonus does not apply to Camellya's hits that count as Basic Attacks, but its raw stats are strong.
A 4★ with an ATK% main stat. Stacks gained from hitting enemies on the field raise ATK by up to 20% and add 6% Crit. Rate at 10 stacks, which suits Camellya's long field time.
A 4★ that grants 20% Basic and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus for 10 s after a Resonance Skill; it triggers every time she enters Blossom Mode.

Performs a five-hit Havoc combo; holding the button after the 3rd hit or after the Heavy Attack Pruning keeps striking the target repeatedly. The 4th hit automatically links into the 5th, and thanks to her passive, the Stamina-consuming Pruning counts as Basic Attack damage.
Strikes the target with Crimson Blossom and enters Blossom Mode: While she hangs from the vines, Basic Attack becomes the four-hit Vining Waltz, and holding on the 3rd hit turns it into Blazing Waltz. Resonance Skill Floral Ravage or a jump (Vining Ronde) ends the mode; every attack in this mode counts as Basic Attack damage, and hanging from the vines consumes Stamina.
Her attacks consume Crimson Pistil, and the energy gain of these hits increases by 150%; every 10 Pistil grants 4 Concerto Energy and one Crimson Bud (up to 10). When Concerto is full, the Resonance Skill turns into Ephemeral and Camellya enters Budding Mode: Attack multipliers increase by 50%, plus 5% for every Bud consumed (up to 50%), but energy gain stops in this mode.
Brings down a powerful Havoc strike on the target and can also be used in midair. Attacks in Budding Mode do not generate Resonance Energy, so it is important to build up Liberation energy before entering that mode.
Deals Havoc damage to the target on entry and refills Crimson Pistil to 100. Opening the rotation with the Intro fills Pistil right away, which speeds up building Crimson Buds.
On exit, deals Havoc damage equal to 329.24% of Camellya's ATK to the target. The first Outro after using Ephemeral also deals extra damage equal to 459.02% of ATK.
Camellya's Havoc DMG Bonus increases by 15%, and the Heavy Attack Pruning counts as Basic Attack damage. This way, Basic Attack buffs also apply to Pruning.
Basic Attack DMG Bonus increases by 15%, and Basic Attack, Vining Waltz and Blazing Waltz become more resistant to interruption. This makes Camellya more comfortable to play during her long field time.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Camellya can perform the Sword-specific Tune Break attack. It is a shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
S1 brings 28% Crit. DMG and uninterruptible Ephemeral with just one extra copy; S2 boosts Ephemeral, and S3 increases all of her damage with 58% ATK in Budding Mode. S6 opens a second Budding Mode window through Perennial and takes Camellya to a whole new level.
The Intro Skill Everblooming increases Crit. DMG by 28% for 18 s (once every 25 s); she becomes immune to interruption during Ephemeral.
Ephemeral's DMG multiplier increases by 120%.
The Liberation multiplier increases by 50%; ATK rises by 58% while she is in Budding Mode.
Everblooming grants the whole team 25% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 30 s.
Everblooming's multiplier increases by 303% and the multiplier of the Outro Skill Twining by 68%.
The Sweet Dream multiplier increases by an extra 150%; if Concerto fills up within 15 s after Ephemeral, Perennial lets her re-enter Budding Mode and the Sweet Dream bonus rises to 250%.
Camellya
Roccia
Shorekeeper
Roccia's Outro boosts Camellya's Havoc damage by 20% and her Basic Attack damage by 25%; Shorekeeper provides healing and a crit bonus.
Lynae and Mornye provide buffs that boost every damage type alongside the Tune Break mechanic; a strong option if you do not have Roccia.

Camellya is a limited 5★ Resonator and can only be pulled with Radiant Tides while her banner is active. She first arrived in version 1.4 with the "End of Lost Trail" banner and got a rerun in the first phase of 2.2.
5-piece Havoc Eclipse; the Havoc DMG stacked by her Basic Attacks stays active throughout her nonstop combos. Use Nightmare: Crownless as your main Echo, which grants 12% Havoc DMG and 12% Basic Attack DMG Bonus.
Her signature weapon Red Spring is by far the best. Emerald of Genesis and Blazing Brilliance are good alternatives, and on the 4★ side you can use Somnoire Anchor and Lumingloss.
Her kit has aged compared to newer characters, and she is no longer at the top of the meta. Still, she deals good damage with Roccia and Shorekeeper or in a Tune Break team with Lynae and Mornye; if you like her playstyle, she remains a fun main DPS.
The strongest team is Camellya + Roccia + Shorekeeper. Lynae and Mornye work well for a Tune Break-focused team, and Sanhua and Baizhi for a more accessible one.
For Ascension she needs Topological Confinement from Fallacy of No Return, Nova gathered on the Black Shores and Whisperin Cores. Her skills use the Metallic Drip series, Whisperin Cores and Dreamless Feather from the weekly boss Dreamless.
