You can also take a look at this WuWa Banners Calendar if you'd like to find out more about Wuthering Waves
| Rarity: 5-star | |
| Element: Electro | |
| Weapon: Broadblade | |
| Tower of Adversity: High Tier | |
| Whimpering Wastes: High Tier |
Augusta is a 5-star Electro Broadblade main DPS who relies on her Prowess and Ascendancy resource bars to unleash powerful combo chains. Her Ultimate creates a time-stopping burst window, letting her deal most of her damage in a short span. She also gains a self-shield through her passive, which adds a bit of survivability. In current team theory, Iuno is her best partner and greatly raises Augusta's damage ceiling, making them one of the strongest duos available.
Augusta Build: Skill Priority
Augusta’s gameplay centers on managing three resources: Prowess, Ascendancy, and Majesty. Without any one of them, it becomes more difficult for her to reach her full damage potential.
| Forte Circuit | Top |
| Resonance Liberation | Mid |
| Resonance Skill | Mid |
| Basic Attack | Low |
| Intro Skill | Low |
Her Intro Skill deals a small burst of damage while fully restoring Prowess, making it especially useful in clutch moments.
Use her Resonance Skill to build Ascendancy. Once Ascendancy is full, cast Resonance Skill-Undying Sunlight: Plunge to gain Majesty. After collecting two Majesty stacks, use her Ultimate to unleash a devastating barrage of attacks. Her Forte Circuit is also a major part of her overall damage output.

Augusta Build: Resonance Chain Recommendation
| Recommended Resonance Chain |
| Sequence Node 2: Cleansed in Crimson War (Best Value)For every 1% of CRIT Rate above 100%, Augusta gains 2% CRIT DMG, up to a maximum of 100%. As a result, stacking additional CRIT Rate can significantly increase her damage output, making Sequence Node 2 her most valuable option. |
| Sequence Node 6: Engraved in Radiant Light Increases the maximum stacks of "Crown of Wills" to 4, with each stack boosting Conductive DMG by 5%. Heavy Attacks can now also accumulate stacks. This pushes Augusta's damage ceiling much higher, but it is a luxury upgrade reserved for players willing to invest heavily. |
