Attacks will heal allies and generate Concerto Energy. Once Iuno’s Forte Gauge is filled, she can unleash her enhanced Heavy Attack, dealing Aero damage to enemies and creating a Full Moon Domain. Resonators in Full Moon Domain gain Damage Amplification buffs when they gain shield and gain periodic healing and stamina recovery even when Iuno is off field. |

Playstyle Guide & Rotation
Iuno serves as a sub DPS/ Support character that wants to quickly do her combo while she is on the field to allow her to set up her powerful buff zone then switch off the field quickly to provide the main DPS various beneficial effects like healing, shields, heavy attack amplification and attribute damage amplification.
Iuno’s main combo starts with her using her Resonance Skill or Resonance Liberation to start her special Lunar Cycle effect. While in Lunar Cycle, Iuno has 2 different modes: New Moon Mode and Half Moon Mode and she can use her Heavy Attack to switch between the modes. Half Moon mode allows Iuno to generate Forte Gauge by attacking enemies while New Moon Mode allows Iuno to consume her forte gauge to enhance the damage she deals, healing allies and restoring her concerto energy.
By alternating between her New Moon and Half Moon Mode, players will need to get her Concerto energy to max, then fill up her Forte Gauge to allow Iuno to use her enhanced Heavy Attack – Absolute Fullness. After casting Absolute Fullness, Iuno will set up a special Full Moon Domain that provides constant stamina recovery, healing and grants a damage amplification effect that stacks whenever resonators inside the zone gains shield. Afterward, uses Iuno’s Outro Skill to switch out and grants the next Resonator massive Heavy Attack Damage boost.

Iuno Best Echoes & Stats
Iuno Best Echoes Set & Echoes
As Iuno gimmick allows her to gain shield whenever she attacks enemies, Iuno can make full use of the 3pcs effect of the Crown Of Valor Set in conjunction with a 2pcs Aero Damage boosting set like Sierra Gale effect to maximize her damage output.
 | Crown Of Valor |

The Resonator with this Echo equipped in the main slot gains 12.00% Aero DMG Bonus and 12.00% Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus.
Iuno Best Main Stats & Sub Stats
For Iuno, she wants the usual DPS Echoes set up with critical stats, Aero Damage bonus and Attack stats to allow her to dish out as much damage as possible. As most of her damage is considered Resonance Liberation damage, players should also aim for that as her important substat.
| Echoes | Main Stats |
| 4 Cost | Critical Chance or Critical Damage |
| 3 Cost | Aero Damage |
| 3 Cost | Aero Damage |
| 1 Cost | Attack |
| 1 Cost | Attack |
| Priority | Sub Stats |
| 1st | Critical Chance |
| 2nd | Critical Damage |
| 3rd | Resonance Liberation Damage |
| 4th | Attack |
Important Stat Threshold:
– Like with other main DPS characters, Iuno wants a decent critical chance to critical damage ratio to max out her damage output, so players should aim for at least 70-80% Critical Chance and 220%+ Critical Damage for her to keep up with the game’s endgame contents.
– As Iuno wants to do her combo with quick efficiency, players should aim to get Iuno’s Energy Regen to around 120-125% mark to allow her to easily use her Resonance Liberation while doing her combo.
Iuno Best Teams
Iuno is very team restrictive as her main domain buff can only be fully utilized by characters that gain shields while they attack enemies. Alternatively, Iuno can also be used for her off field healing and Heavy Attack amplification for different types of team comps tho with way worse performance.
Augusta Hypercarry Team
The best team for Iuno as Augusta fulfills both the requirement of needing to gain shield while attacking and is primarily a Heavy Attack Damage dealer, allowing her to gain the maximum amount of supporting buffs from Iuno to dish out devastating damage towards enemies.
 |  |  |
| Augusta | Iuno | Shorekeeper |
| Main DPS | Sub DPS/Support | Support/Sustain |
| Essential | Essential | Flexible |
Main DPS: Augusta is the team’s main DPS hypercarry that wants all the buffs to be funneled into her before she activates her Resonance Liberation and deals devastating time stopping attacks on enemies.
Sub DPS/ Support: Iuno is Augusta’s best teammate due to her ability to amplify Iuno’s Elemental Damage, Heavy Attack Damage and help to restore Augusta’s HP and Stamina when her domain is up. This helped Augusta become self-sustainable in addition to being able to deal massive amounts of damage with almost zero Stamina cost.
Sustain: Shorekeeper is the team’s premium sustain option thanks to her ability to amplify the damage of all allies in addition to healing the entire team.
Iuno Main DPS Mono Aero Team
Despite being primarily a sub DPS/ Support character, with certain support, Iuno can serve as a Main DPS on her own. However, please note that this team’s performance is not as strong as other meta teams in the game.
|  |  |
| Iuno | Ciaccona | Aero Rover |
| Main DPS | Sub DPS/Support | Support/Sustain |
| Essential | Essential | Flexible |
Main DPS: Iuno serves as the main DPS in this team with her needing to be buffed fully with Aero Amplification buffs from both of her teammates to dish out powerful attacks with her Resonance Liberation Damage skill kit.
Sub DPS: Ciaccona is the team’s Sub DPS and support option as she provides Iuno with a Aero Damage amplification buff while also supplementing Iuno’s on field damage with her own off field damage effects. Ciaccona will need to be on the Gusts of Welkin Echoes set to provide Iuno with extra Aero amplification buffs.
Sustain: Aero Rover serves as the team’s main sustain when they are equipped with their signature weapon and is on the Rejuvenating Glow set, granting Iuno additional Aero Damage amplification and attack buff while also healing and reducing the enemies Aero resistances.
Conclusion
The confident Moon Goddess that rivals the Sun, with Iuno return banner, players should take advantage of Enjoygm’s special Wuthering Waves Top Up Discounts and try and get her alongside Augusta in order to make one of the best performance teams in the game ever at a low cost.
