Wuthering Waves Augusta Signature Weapon Stats, Effects, and Materials Leaked

Augusta, a 5-star Electro Resonator from Septimont, is arriving in the Wuthering Waves 2.6 update, and she’s bringing along her Augusta signature weapon—a Broadblade called Crown and Thunder Authority. Thanks to trusted dataminers like Seele and Wuthering Waves Legacy, fans now have an early look at its stats, effects, and the materials needed to fully upgrade it.

Wuthering Waves Augusta Signature Weapon Stats and Effects

The Augusta signature weapon is shaping up to be one of the strongest Broadblades in the game. At level 90 and Syntonization Rank 1, the leaked stats are:

• Base ATK: 675
• Secondary Stat: 12.1% Crit Rate
• Passive Effect:
  • Increases ATK by 12%.
  • After using an Intro Skill or Resonance Skill, Heavy Attack DMG is boosted by 20% for 15 seconds.
  • When the wielder gains a shield, Heavy Attack DMG ignores 7% of the enemy’s defense. This can stack up to five times (max 35% DEF ignore) and triggers once every 0.5 seconds. Each stack lasts 7 seconds.

This weapon clearly favors characters who rely heavily on Heavy Attacks. The DEF ignore mechanic is especially deadly when combined with shield generation, allowing Augusta to deal devastating blows even against tanky enemies.

Why Crown and Thunder Authority Stands Out

With one of the highest base ATKs among Broadblades, plus a Crit Rate bonus, this weapon offers a balance of raw power and precision. While 12.1% Crit Rate isn’t groundbreaking, the passive effects make up for it by significantly boosting sustained damage output.

The synergy between skill usage and Heavy Attack buffs means Augusta players can chain powerful combos that keep enemies on the back foot. The DEF ignore stacks make this weapon particularly potent in boss fights and high-level challenges where enemies have strong defences.

WuWa Augusta Signature Weapon Materials

Upgrading the Augusta signature weapon will require quite a grind. Based on leaks, here’s the full list of ascension materials:

• Waveworn Residue 210 × 6
• Waveworn Residue 226 × 8
• Waveworn Residue 235 × 6
• Waveworn Residue 239 × 20
• LF Whisperin Core × 6
• MF Whisperin Core × 6
• HF Whisperin Core × 10
• FF Whisperin Core × 12
• Shell Credit × 330,000

Farming Locations:

• Waveworn Residue: Earned through the Eroded Ruins Forgery Challenge in Huanglong and the Garden of Adoration Forgery Challenge in Rinascita. You can also get them from Supply Packs, the Souvenir Store, and the Weapon Shop.
• Whisperin Cores: Dropped by enemies like Tambourinist, Rocksteady Guardian, Electro Predator, Clang Bang, Chasm Guardian, and other Tacet Discord foes. They can also be farmed in any Huanglong Forgery Challenge.

Overall, the Augusta signature weapon looks like a perfect fit for her playstyle, enhancing both her offensive potential and survivability. While we still have to wait for official confirmation from Kuro Games, the leaked details suggest that Crown and Thunder Authority will be a must-have for players who want to get the most out of Augusta in Wuthering Waves 2.6.
