Thunderflare Dominion

R1Best

A very specialized Broadblade that breaks records for the highest Base ATK in the game, providing a smaller amount of CRIT Rate in exchange, while giving Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, ATK%, and allowing Heavy Attack DMG to ignore target DEF when applying shields up to 36% DEF at 5 stacks. While this weapon does have ramp-up on its DEF ignore effect, it's easily the best choice for Augusta bar none, as this weapon is specialized to be used by her in order to make full use of its effect.

Verdant Summit

Jiyan's Signature weapon is fantastic on Augusta and has similar performance to even her Signature weapon thanks to its easy to acquire 48% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus increase, as well as 12% general DMG Bonus, good Base ATK and CRIT DMG stats.

Ages of Harvest

R1

While this weapon focuses on boosting Resonance Skill damage, Jinhsi's Signature is still great on Augusta as she does deal some amount of Skill damage and benefits from its good Base ATK, as well as its DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate increasing effects.

Wildfire Mark

R1

This Broadblade lacks the extra punch that the above options do as its passive effect is entirely useless on Augusta. It does buff Mortefi's DMG if he is present on the team, however he is far from dealing most of the damage in the team and Augusta only uses this Broadblade for its ATK and CRIT DMG stats, which makes it rank lower than above options.

Simple ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick for Augusta, the strongest permanently available choice for her.

Best Echo Sets

COVCrown of Valor — Wuthering Waves sonata echo set

5-Piece Sonata

Crown of Valor

100%

Augusta's best set bar none. Increases ATK and CRIT DMG by 6% and 4% for 4s respectively when a Shield is applied to the equipped character, stacking up to 5 times every 0.5s. This totals to 30% ATK and 20% CRIT DMG, which is the best set for Augusta in specific as she's the only character in the game who's able to fully stack up this effect. Best combined with your choice of: 2P Void Thunder (Recommended) 2P Endless Resonance Reel of Spliced Memories 2P Moonlit Clouds Empyrean Anthem Tidebreaking Courage

Augusta build summary

Thunderflare Dominion is the weapon to build around. Without it, Verdant Summit, Ages of Harvest and Wildfire Mark are the next picks, in that order. Aureate Zenith is the budget option.

On the Crown of Valor set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Electro DMG on the 3-cost, Electro DMG > ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% = Heavy Attack DMG% > ATK > Resonance Skill DMG%.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S6 (+150% CRIT DMG), S2 (+100% CRIT DMG) and S3 (+25% Heavy Attack DMG). Level Res. Liberation → Forte Circuit → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.

Ascension needs 46× Blighted Crown of Puppet King above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
