Iuno’s Strengths & Weaknesses
Iuno’s kit is mainly about dealing Heavy Attack damage while providing healing to her teammates. As an Aero elemental character, she can also give some decent Aero damage output too. She can create some shields for self-defense which is necessary for tackling heavier attacks and staying alive to heal. Stamina recovery for the party is also given whenever Iuno enters her Full Moon Domain. Want to get more characters more easily? Get a Wuthering Waves top up cheap today!
The biggest disadvantage Iuno struggles with actually has to do with her ascension materials. The majority of her materials are ones that can only be found later in the game. To really be able to upgrade Iuno, you’ll want to have progressed further in the Wuthering Waves storyline and quests. Iuno’s 40% damage buff is also only obtained after 10 shields are made which might throw off a lot of team builds.

Iuno’s Best Weapons
As a Main and Sub-DPS character, Iuno’s best weapons increase her damage output and bonuses. She does have a 40% damage buff after deploying at least 10 shields, but for certain teams, this might not proc very often. To make up for that, her signature Gauntlet and other top choices can buff that damage automatically by just having it equipped.

Iuno’s Best Main Echo Sets & Sonatas
Main Echos and Sonatas are the most important part of the character build, as they determine how Iuno works in gameplay. Her best effects increase her overall damage and Aero application on enemies. While she does decent elemental application already, more is better when paired with weapons that decrease enemy Aero defenses.

| 1 | 🧜♀️ Lady of the Sea 🧜♀️ | Summon a Tidestorm to deal +13.68% Aero damage one time to enemies. Iuno gains a +12.00% Aero damage bonus and a +12.00% Resonance Liberation damage bonus. |
| 2 | 🕊️ Impermanence Heron 🕊️ | Iuno transforms into an Impermanence Heron to fly up and smack down, dealing 310.56% Havoc damage.
Long press to stay as an Impermanence Heron and continuously spit flames, each attack dealing 55.73% Havoc damage. Once the initial attack lands on any enemy, Iuno regains +10 Resonance Energy. If Iuno uses her Outro Skill within the next 15 seconds, the next character’s damage dealt will be boosted by +12% for 15 seconds. |
Best Sonatas:

| 1 | 👑 Crown of Valor 👑 | 3-PC: Upon gaining a Shield, Iuno’s Attack is increased by +6% and her Critical damage by +4% for 4 seconds. |

The Best Teams and Synergies for Iuno
One of the best teams that you can build with Iuno is with Augusta as your Main DPS. Augusta is currently rerunning on her own banner during the 3.0 update, so you can easily pull both characters to have great synergy. Augusta can easily help Iuno make her Shields and then buff the team’s damage. Support characters like Shorekeeper are also an easy fit for her extra abilities.
