Shorekeeper is a top-tier 5-star Spectro support unit in Wuthering Waves. To fully utilize her abilities, it’s essential to equip her with the finest weapons, Echoes, and a well-suited team composition.
In the game, Shorekeeper serves as both a healer and a damage buffer, akin to Verina. What sets her apart is her focus on Crit buffs, which are more favorable compared to Verina’s ATK buffs, making her highly valuable for any DPS unit.
Despite her powerful buffs, Shorekeeper requires precise execution; mismanaging her rotations can greatly diminish her effectiveness. Having Concerto Energy is crucial for her optimization. Once you’ve mastered this, she stands out as the best support unit, integrating seamlessly into virtually any team.

Best Weapons for Shorekeeper
Stellar Symphony (S1)
This is Shorekeeper’s signature 5-star weapon, boasting an efficiency of 115.38%. Its primary advantage lies in its exceptional Energy Recharge, significantly enhancing Shorekeeper’s performance during battles. Moreover, it grants a 10% ATK boost for the entire team, amplifying overall damage output.
Additionally, it regenerates 8 Concerto Energy, facilitating smoother rotations for Shorekeeper. If desired, you can pursue higher ranks to further reduce rotation timers, but the Stellar Symphony excels at rank S1.
Variation (S5)
At Superposition 5, Variation stands out as the primary alternative weapon for Shorekeeper. This weapon regenerates 16 Concerto Energy at Superposition 5, contributing to a significant reduction in Shorekeeper’s rotation time.
Even at Superposition 1, it remains effective due to its generation of 8 Concerto Energy. Additionally, its generous Energy Recharge capabilities enhance this unit’s healing capacity.
Rectifier #25 (S5)
The Rectifier #25 is a solid weapon as it provides ample Energy Regen, facilitating the frequent use of the Resonance Liberation ability. However, it does not generate any Concerto Energy, which hinders optimizing Shorekeeper’s rotations.
Rectifier of the Voyager (S5)
This 3-star weapon should be the last option if none of the other weapons are available. It provides decent Energy Recharge but significantly lags behind the 5-star and 4-star alternatives.
Best Echoes for Shorekeeper
Fallacy of No Return
The Fallacy of No Return is the optimal Echo for Shorekeeper in Wuthering Waves. This Echo is designed to enhance the flexibility of the unit.
Upon activation, it provides a 10% bonus Energy Regen, helping to achieve the 250% benchmark needed for Shorekeeper. Additionally, it increases allies’ ATK by 10%, augmenting the wielder’s buffing capabilities.
Lastly, damage dealt by this Echo is based on maximum HP instead of ATK or DEF, creating excellent synergy with Shorekeeper’s abilities.
Bell-Borne Geochelone
This Echo is ideal for those who want to maximize Shorekeeper’s support capabilities. Upon activation, it grants a 10% DMG Boost for all allies and offers a 50% damage reduction. This combination of offensive and defensive buffs makes it a valuable choice, occasionally surpassing the Fallacy of No Return.
Best Team Composition for Shorekeeper
For optimal performance, Shorekeeper pairs best with Jinhsi and Zhezhi. In this setup, Jinhsi serves as the main DPS, delivering high damage to foes, while Zhezhi acts as the sub-DPS, providing additional support and significantly enhancing Jinhsi’s abilities.
Shorekeeper completes this trio by offering crucial healing and ATK boosts for the entire team. Currently, this composition is the most effective for Shorekeeper, and we will update this section with additional team configurations as they are discovered.
