Wuthering Waves is an open-world action RPG from KURO GAMES. You play as Rover, traveling Solaris-3 with a cast of Resonators, and the core of the game is fast combat where you slip past an attack and strike back immediately. That is why most moments worth showing a friend are short: narrowly dodging a boss's big attack and turning it into a counter, swapping through characters without breaking the chain, or the last few seconds of a Resonance Liberation that finishes the boss. Wuthering Waves became a DOR full-play recording game in the October 2026 app update. Keep in mind that DOR is a Windows desktop app, so it only records the Wuthering Waves client running on a Windows PC; play on a phone or console is not recorded. Below, you will find the cues for locating seconds-long combat moments in a long recording and how much padding to leave before and after so the viewer understands what happened.
How Much Padding to Give a Few Seconds of Combat
Combat moments in Wuthering Waves are short at their core but depend on context. Send only the two-second counter, and the viewer has no idea what you dodged. Cover the stretch from the moment the boss starts its attack animation to the point where the counter ends and you move on, usually about five seconds before and five after, and even someone new to the game will follow it. When you send a full boss fight as a guide, keep everything from the moment the health bar appears to the moment the boss falls. Wuthering Waves takes up a lot of disk space on its own, so if you want settings that shrink your recordings, read how to reduce game recording file size as well.
Finding Seconds-Long Combat Moments in a Wuthering Waves Recording
- 1Check that PC client recording is onIn DOR settings, open the full-play recording group and make sure Wuthering Waves is on. When it is, recording starts the moment you launch the game on your Windows PC, and exploration, combat, and story all continue in one video until you close it.
- 2Start by finding where the boss health bar appearsExploration footage looks similar from minute to minute, so it is easy to skip past things. Scrub through in big jumps and look for the boss health bar appearing at the top of the screen; that is where a boss fight begins. Remembering which boss of the day it was speeds this up.
- 3Anchor dodge counters on the boss's attack animationIn a dodge counter clip, what you dodged matters more than the counter itself. Set the start a few seconds before the boss begins winding up a big attack, and set the end after your character moves on to the next action.
- 4Start swap combos right before the first swapFor a combo that chains through several characters, the cue is the moment the character on screen changes. Start just before the first swap and end when the last character's attack finishes, and the whole lineup is visible at a glance. This is the most useful clip for a friend weighing the same team.
- 5Export short moments vertically and exploration horizontallyFor moments around ten seconds long, like a dodge counter or a Liberation finisher, pick 9:16 for friends watching on a phone. For exploration where you run up walls and fly, pick 16:9 so the scenery shows. Use 1:1 when you want the clip to show uncropped in a chat preview.
- 6Trim in the library and send the dor.gg linkOpen the recording in the app library, set the start, end, and aspect ratio with the trim tool, and a dor.gg link is created. Paste that link into your chat, and your friend can play it right in a browser without installing anything.
How to Trim Wuthering Waves Combat and Exploration Moments
| Moment | Padding Before and After | Who to Send It To |
|---|---|---|
| Counter after Extreme Evasion | From 5 seconds before the boss's attack animation to 5 seconds after the counter | A friend stuck on the same boss |
| Character swap combo | From just before the first swap to the end of the last character's attack | A friend figuring out a team lineup |
| Resonance Liberation finisher | From 3 seconds before the ultimate animation to right after the boss falls | Your Wuthering Waves group chat |
| Echo capture | From the moment the enemy falls until the absorption finishes | A friend collecting Echoes |
| Full boss fight | Everything from the health bar appearing to the boss falling | A friend who asked how to beat it |
| Wall-running and flight | From the starting point until you reach the destination | A friend who hasn't tried the game yet |

- Short combat moments are 9:16 and exploration is 16:9.
- You deleted the raw recordings you already shared by link.
- Your recording drive has well over 20GB of free space.
How DOR Records the Wuthering Waves PC Client
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. When you launch Wuthering Waves on a Windows PC, it detects the game and records one mp4 video until you close it. There are no automatic highlights that pick out boss fights or counters, so you find scenes in the app library and cut them with the trim tool. To join several clips, or add text, effect templates, and background music, use DOR Studio in your browser with no install; the browser clip editor guide explains how. If a recording ended early or you can't find the file, start with disk space in how to fix recordings not saving. On days you don't want Wuthering Waves recorded, you can turn off just this game in settings; a confirmation prompt appears once when you do.
