Carlotta kit leaks and abilities in Wuthering Waves
According to the leaks, Carlotta is expected to be a 5-star Glacio Main DPS unit who wields Pistols during combat. Her main source of damage comes from using her Resonance Skill, but she can also deal a respectable amount of damage through her Forte and Resonance Liberation, which is speculated to have two seperate variations.
Here is a breif overview of her skills and abilities in Wuthering Waves, as per leaks:
Carlotta's kit reportedly revolves around generating and utilizing crystals. She gains three crystals by performing specific actions such as her second Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, Mid-air Attack, first Resonance Skill (read Resonance Skill section below), or just by dodging. She can hold up to six crystals at a time.
When these crystals are available, her Basic Attacks become enhanced, dealing increased damage while consuming the crystals. Similarly, her dodge counter also consumes one crystal to deal additional damage.
Resonance Skill
Carlotta's Resonance Skill is split into two stages, with the second stage briefly available after using the first. The first stage applies the Prismatic Effect, which stuns enemies for 1.5 seconds and generates three crystals. The second stage consumes all available crystals to deal damage.
Additionally, casting her Resonance Skill applies Dissolution, granting her buffs like ignoring the enemy's defense, invincibility, and anti-interruption for her aerial attacks for a limited duration.
Forte
Carlotta's Forte revolves around the Gilded Crystal, which recharges every 22 seconds. She can accumulate Essence by performing actions such as her Intro Skill, second Resonance Skill, Enhanced Basic attacks, and dodging the enemy's attacks.
Once her Essence is fully charged, she can unleash a strong attack by using her Heavy attack, consuming both the Gilded Crystal and Essence. This empowered attack reduces her Resonance Skill cooldown by six seconds and applies Dissolution as well.

Resonance Liberation
Carlotta's Resonance Liberation damage is considered as Resonance Skill damage, and it clears all Essence stacks upon use. When used, it applies Dissolution to hit targets and transitions her into the Gunflower Waltz state.
In this state, she can perform up to four Death Omen attacks, each with different forms depending on whether you use her Basic Attack or Resonance Liberation. Each Death Omen attack applies Dissolution and allows her to dash between attacks. This sequence concludes with the fifth attack, a powerful finisher called Lethal Finale, after which Carlotta exits the Gunflower Waltz state.
