Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
"Reshaping Dimensions" The second daughter of the Montelli family
Carlotta is the second daughter of the Montelli family in Ragunna and an art investor who refuses to fit any mold; she moves easily through high society and the business world while quietly taking care of the family's unspoken "problems". She wields Pistols with the Glacio element. She builds up Moldable Crystals and Substance and spends them with Chromatic Splendor and Imminent Oblivion. The Liberation she unleashes with full Substance deals massive damage through a series of Death Knell shots during Twilight Tango, capped off by Fatal Finale. Most of her damage counts as Resonance Skill damage, so she is a main DPS who works best with supports that boost that damage type.
Carlotta 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 2.0 with the "When Silence Tolls" banner that opened on January 2, 2025, and she returned in the 2.3 anniversary rerun banner and in the first phase of 2.6. 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: Resonance Skill DMG + {0}
5-piece: Casting Resonance Skill grants {0} Glacio DMG Bonus for {1}s and casting Resonance Liberation increases Resonance Skill DMG by {2}, lasting for {3}s. This effect stacks up to {4} times.
The 2-piece grants Resonance Skill DMG; the 5-piece adds Glacio DMG after a Resonance Skill and Resonance Skill DMG that stacks after Liberation. It almost feels designed for Carlotta.
2-piece: ATK +10%
If you do not have well-rolled 5-piece Frosty Resolve Echoes yet, 2-piece Frosty Resolve + 2-piece Lingering Tunes gives you Resonance Skill DMG and ATK together.
Sentry Construct
In the main slot it grants 12% Glacio DMG and 12% Resonance Skill DMG; the Strike Capacitor, which fills as you use Liberation, resets the Echo Skill cooldown.
Raise Energy Regen to around 120-125% so you can use Liberation every rotation; in a team with Zhezhi and Shorekeeper, this need drops a little. The standard layout is 4-3-3-1-1.
Signature weapon. Grants a 72% Crit. DMG main stat and 12% ATK; with 48% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 5 s after an Intro or Liberation, it is by far the best choice.
Provides 48.6% Crit. DMG and 12% ATK. It grants 20% All-Attribute DMG Bonus for 14 s whenever a teammate uses Tune Break, which makes it especially strong in a team with Lynae and Mornye.
The standard banner's 5★ Pistols. The 24.3% Crit. Rate main stat and the Energy Regen passive are useful, while the ATK it grants after an Outro goes to the next character.
A 4★ with a 36.45% ATK main stat; its Resonance Skill DMG Bonus, which stacks 3 times on Basic and Heavy Attack hits, fits Carlotta's combos.
A 4★ with an ATK% main stat; grants 20% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 15 s after an Intro Skill.

Totals are calculated from game data: Every ascension stage from 1→90, skills 1→10 and every skill tree node.
Fires a two-hit Glacio shot; while she has Moldable Crystals, Basic Attack turns into the three-hit Necessary Measures, which consumes one crystal per hit. When Substance is full, Containment Tactics replaces the Heavy Attack, consumes all Substance and reduces Art of Violence's cooldown by 6 s. After a plunge, Basic Attack performs Customary Greetings, a shot fired while flipping over the target.
Deals Glacio damage to the target and applies Dispersion, which immobilizes it for 1.5 s. Press it again shortly after to use Chromatic Splendor, which consumes all Moldable Crystals; if you skip this follow-up or Carlotta leaves the field, the skill goes on cooldown after a while.
Carlotta can hold up to 120 Substance and 6 Moldable Crystals; each crystal spent grants 10 Substance. With full Substance, holding Normal Attack while Tinted Crystal is active (available once every 22 s) performs Imminent Oblivion, which counts as Resonance Skill damage and reduces Art of Violence's cooldown by 6 s. The Final Bow state she enters when Substance is full increases Liberation multipliers by 80%.
Deals Glacio damage to enemies in the area, applies Deconstruction (18% DEF ignore) and starts Twilight Tango. During this state, each Death Knell grants one Meta Vector; with 4 vectors she performs Fatal Finale and Tango ends. Every hit of the Liberation counts as Resonance Skill damage.
Deals Glacio damage to the target on entry; thanks to her Forte, it grants 30 Substance and 3 Moldable Crystals. Through the Ars Gratia Artis passive, it also applies Deconstruction to the target.
On exit, fires a single powerful shot that deals Glacio damage equal to 794.2% of Carlotta's ATK to the target.
A Mid-air Attack performed after Chromatic Splendor makes Carlotta immune to damage and interruption until it deals damage. While Carlotta is in the team, the Stamina the active character spends on gliding is reduced by 20%.
The Intro Skill, Chromatic Splendor, Death Knell and Imminent Oblivion can also apply Deconstruction (18% DEF ignore) to the target. This lets you keep the effect up outside of Liberation.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Carlotta can perform the Pistols-specific Tune Break attack. It is a shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
S1 is a good first stop with a higher crit chance and faster Substance gain, while S2 more than doubles Fatal Finale. S3 adds 93% to her Resonance Skill multipliers and gives the Outro an extra hit, and S6 is the ceiling Sequence that nearly triples Death Knell.
Damage dealt to targets with Deconstruction gains 12.5% Crit. Rate; when Chromatic Splendor hits a target affected by Dispersion, it grants an extra 30 Substance.
Fatal Finale's DMG multiplier increases by 126%, raising Liberation damage noticeably.
Kaleidoscope Sparks, which deals damage equal to 1032.18% of ATK, is added to the end of the Outro; the multipliers of Art of Violence and Chromatic Splendor increase by 93%.
Heavy Attack, Containment Tactics and Imminent Oblivion grant the whole team 25% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 30 s.
Imminent Oblivion's DMG multiplier increases by 47%.
Death Knell shots fire twice as many crystal shards and hit 186.6% harder in total; targets that are hit are briefly immobilized.
Carlotta
Zhezhi
Shorekeeper
Zhezhi's Outro boosts Carlotta's Glacio damage by 20% and her Resonance Skill damage by 25%; Shorekeeper adds healing, a crit bonus and 15% DMG amplification.
Lynae and Mornye's buffs to every damage type raise Carlotta's damage significantly; the team also pairs well with Phasic Homogenizer.

Carlotta is a limited 5★ Resonator and can only be pulled with Radiant Tides while her banner is active. She first arrived in version 2.0 with the "When Silence Tolls" banner and returned in the 2.3 anniversary rerun banner and in 2.6.
5-piece Frosty Resolve; it boosts both Resonance Skill and Glacio damage, which makes it a perfect fit for Carlotta. Use Sentry Construct as your main Echo; it grants 12% Glacio DMG and 12% Resonance Skill DMG.
Her signature weapon The Last Dance is by far the best. Phasic Homogenizer and the standard Static Mist are alternatives, and on the 4★ side you can use Thunderbolt and Undying Flame.
Yes. With an easy-to-learn rotation, she deals high damage to both single targets and groups. In version 3.6 she is still a strong main DPS with Zhezhi + Shorekeeper or Lynae + Mornye.
The strongest classic team is Carlotta + Zhezhi + Shorekeeper. A Tune Break team with Lynae and Mornye also works very well; if you do not have Shorekeeper, the 4★ Buling is an economical alternative.
For Ascension she needs Platinum Core from Sentry Construct, Sword Acorus gathered in Rinascita and Polygon Cores. Her skills use the Phlogiston series, Polygon Cores and The Netherworld's Stare from the weekly boss Hecate.
