  For an almost radial and typical weight $v$, we characterize the continuity
and compactness of the weighted composition operator $u C_{\varphi}$ acting on
the weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions $H_{v}^{\infty}$ in terms of
the $n$th power of the symbol $\varphi$, where $u: \mathbb{D} \to \mathbb{C}$
is an analytic function and $\varphi: \mathbb{D} \to \mathbb{D}$ is analytic.
More precisely, we extend the results of Hyv\"arinen, Kemppainen, Lindstr\"om,
Rautio and Saukko relating to the continuity and essential norm calculus of the
operator $u C_{\varphi}$.
