The Cadenza is an iconic 4-star weapon in Wuthering Waves, as it offers a hefty amount of energy to the equipping character. Speaking of which, there are a couple of Resonators who can use the pistol to their fullest potential. But before we get to them, let's delve into the stats and passive of the Cadenza:

• Base ATK: 337
• Secondary stat: 51.8% Energy Regen
• Passive: When the wielder activates their Resonance Skill, the weapon restores Concerto Energy by 8. This effect can be triggered once every 20 seconds.

Using the high Energy Regen from Cadenza’s sub-stat, a Resonator should be able to build up their ultimate ability quickly. However, the pistol does not have any damage amplification effect, which means you have to use Echoes with strong stats on the equipping character.

The Cadenza also offers a good chunk of Concerto energy, meaning the wielder can frequently activate their Outro Skills. Do note that some of the Resonators provide powerful buffs upon releasing the ability, which can benefit the next unit taking action.

The pistol enables him to build up his Ultimate quickly, which can deal massive off-field damage while you switch over to a DPS. His Outro Skill can also buff the heavy attack of the active ally.

Aalto is another 4-star unit that can use Cadenza if you use him as a rotational DPS. He can quickly nuke enemies with his Ultimate and grant an Aero DMG boost to the next character.
