Wave's choice of equipment is her [[Type-W]]. The Type-W is a Board type [[Extreme Gear]], constructed by Wave herself for flight at high altitudes. Thanks to Wave's Extreme Gear mechanics expertise, the Type-W is a highly advanced piece of technology with an ultra-compact body that contains high-standard mechanics.<ref name="SRZGearProfile">[[Sonic Team]], CRI Middleware (22 February 2008).

In combat, Wave's preferred choice of weapon is a large wrench or spanner that she uses skillfully as a club in melee combat.<ref name="SRGameplay"/><ref>[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 26|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #26]], "All or Nothing, Part 1"</ref><ref>[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 28|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #28]], "All or Nothing, Part 3"</ref> However, she also uses small packs of dynamite and other explosives that she plants on her opponents and then detonates.<ref name="SRGameplay"/> Also, the red gem attached to Wave's necklace doubles as a utility device that is capable of loading data, projecting holographs, and functioning as an alarm clock.<ref name="Scholastic"/>
