Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
"Sea of Dreams" The mysterious head of the Fisalia family
Cantarella is the thirty-sixth head of the ancient Fisalia family, renowned for its poisons; her power is not a toxin that kills but a hallucinogenic one that clouds the mind. She is a Havoc Resonator who wields a Rectifier. Her Heavy Attack puts her into the Mirage state, where her Phantom Sting hits spend Trance to build up Shiver, which she then bursts with Perception Drain while healing the whole team. Her Resonance Liberation gives the team Diffusion, so Dreamweavers perform Coordinated Attacks as the on-field character lands hits. Her Outro Skill amplifies the next character's Havoc DMG by 20% and Resonance Skill DMG by 25%, so she shines as both a support and a healer alongside Havoc Main DPS characters like Phrolova.
Cantarella is a limited 5★ Resonator and does not drop from the standard banner; she can only be pulled with Radiant Tide while her banner is active. She first arrived in version 2.2 with the "Neptune's Lullaby" banner that opened on March 27, 2025, and she got reruns in the second phase of 2.5 and the second phase of 2.8 (alongside Phrolova). A 5★ is guaranteed within 80 pulls; your first 5★ has a 50% chance to be the featured character, and if you lose that, your next 5★ is guaranteed to be the featured one.

Lorelei
Its Echo Skill deals 405% Havoc DMG. In the main slot, it provides 12% Havoc DMG and 12% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, a perfect fit for her Jolt, Perception Drain and Dreamweaver hits, which count as Basic Attack damage.
Raise Energy Regen to around 130% so you can use Diffusion every rotation, then stack crit stats. In a 4-3-3-1-1 layout, use two Havoc DMG 3-costs and two ATK% 1-costs.
Her signature weapon. It gives a 72% Crit. DMG main stat and an ATK bonus. Gentle Dream, which stacks as you use Echo Skills after an Intro or Basic Attack, grants a 40% Basic Attack DMG Bonus and, at 2 stacks, ignores 12% of Havoc RES.
Zhezhi's signature weapon. It carries a 72% Crit. DMG main stat, and the 52% Basic Attack DMG Bonus that kicks in when she leaves the field after the Outro boosts the off-field damage of her Dreamweavers.

The standard banner's 5★ Rectifier. An easy-to-get, solid option with a 54% ATK main stat, Energy Regen and a stacking Basic Attack DMG Bonus.

Totals are calculated from game data: Every ascension stage from 1→90, skills 1→10 and every skill tree node.
Consists of a three-hit Havoc combo, a Heavy Attack that spends Stamina and a Dodge Counter. While she has Trance, her Heavy Attack turns into Delusive Dive, which dives at the target and puts Cantarella into the Mirage state; this move can also be used in water.
Normally deals Havoc DMG with Graceful Step and grants 1 Trance. In Mirage, it turns into Flickering Reverie, which counts as an Echo Skill and puts the target into Hazy Dream. The target is slowed, and Cantarella's next hit triggers Jolt, dealing extra Havoc DMG that counts as Basic Attack damage.
Mirage lasts 8 s or ends when her Trance runs out. During it, her Basic Attacks turn into Phantom Sting; each hit converts 1 Trance into 1 Shiver and heals the team, and the 3rd hit triggers 3 Coordinated Attacks. At 3 Shiver, her Resonance Skill becomes Perception Drain, which heals the team. Abyssal Rebirth, which lasts 25 s after her Intro, grants Concerto Energy whenever the team uses Echo Skills.
Flowing Suffocation brings down a Havoc strike that counts as Basic Attack damage, counts as an Echo Skill cast and grants 3 Trance. The Diffusion it gives the team summons a Dreamweaver once per second for 30 s as the on-field character lands hits; these Coordinated Attacks come up to 21 times and count as Basic Attack damage.
Deals Havoc DMG as she enters the field with Ripple and grants 1 Trance; if you press Basic Attack right away, the combo starts directly from the 3rd hit. In Mirage, her Intro turns into Tidal Surge, which triggers 3 Coordinated Attacks on hit and resets the Phantom Sting combo.
The next character's Havoc DMG is amplified by 20% and Resonance Skill DMG by 25%. The effect lasts 14 s and ends when you switch characters; it is very valuable for Main DPS characters who rely on Resonance Skill damage, such as Phrolova and Jinhsi.
Cantarella's Healing Bonus permanently increases by 20%. Thanks to this, her Phantom Sting and Perception Drain healing comfortably keeps the team alive.
Using an Echo Skill grants 6% Havoc DMG Bonus for 10 s, stacking up to 2 times. Flickering Reverie, Perception Drain and her Liberation also count as Echo Skill casts, so you fill the stacks easily.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Cantarella can perform the Rectifier-specific Tune Break attack. It is a shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
At S0, she is fully functional as a support and healer, so aim for her signature weapon Whispers of Sirens first. If you want to raise her own damage, S1 seriously improves her Trance economy and Resonance Skill multipliers, while S2 does the same for her Jolt damage.
Every Resonance Skill cast grants 1 Trance; the multipliers of Graceful Step, Flickering Reverie and Perception Drain increase by 50%, and she is immune to interruption during Perception Drain.
Flowing Suffocation also puts the target into Hazy Dream, and the multiplier of the Jolts Cantarella triggers increases by 245%.
The Flowing Suffocation multiplier increases by 370%, and you enter the Mirage state directly after her Liberation.
Healing Bonus increases by 25% while in Mirage.
The maximum number of Dreamweavers that Diffusion can summon increases by 5 (from 21 to 26).
The Phantom Sting multiplier increases by 80%; for 10 s after Flowing Suffocation, her damage ignores 30% of the target's DEF. During the first 1.2 s of Hazy Dream, hits that do not apply Hazy Dream do not trigger Jolt.
Cantarella's abilities that count as Echo Skills trigger Hecate's enhanced attacks while Phrolova is off the field, and her Outro amplifies Havoc and Resonance Skill damage. Qiuyuan increases the team's Echo Skill damage.
Both Roccia's and Cantarella's Outro buffs boost Camellya's Havoc DMG, and since Cantarella also heals the team, there is no need for a separate healer.

Cantarella is a limited 5★ Resonator and can only be pulled with Radiant Tide while her banner is active. She first arrived in version 2.2 with the "Neptune's Lullaby" banner and got reruns in the second phases of 2.5 and 2.8.
The best option is 5-piece Midnight Veil, which deals extra Havoc DMG with the Outro and gives the next character 15% Havoc DMG. Use Lorelei as the main Echo; for a Coordinated Attack-focused build, Empyrean Anthem with Hecate is also a good alternative.
Her signature weapon Whispers of Sirens is by far the best; its Crit. DMG main stat and its Basic Attack bonus, which fills up with Echo Skill casts, are tailor-made for her. As alternatives, you can use Rime-Draped Sprouts, Stringmaster and Cosmic Ripples, and on the 4★ side Radiant Dawn and Augment.
Yes. Her Phantom Sting hits and Perception Drain heal the whole team, and her "Cure" passive increases Healing Bonus by 20%. This lets her take on both the support and the healer role on her own in Phrolova teams.
The strongest lineup is Phrolova + Qiuyuan + Cantarella. She also works very well with Camellya and Roccia for Mono Havoc, and with Jinhsi and Verina for a Coordinated Attack-focused team.
For Ascension, she needs Cleansing Conch, which drops from Queen of the Night, the local specialty Seaside Cendrelis and Polygon Cores. For skills, she uses the Helix series, Polygon Cores and the weekly material When Irises Bloom, which drops from Fleurdelys; the full list with quantities is in the materials section.
