We study the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of W states and W-like states under decoherence. In particular, we find that on the contrary to amplitude damping and depolarizing decoherence, a W-like state of 3 qubits obtained by discarding 1 qubit of a genuine W state of 4 qubits is more robust than a genuine W state of 3 qubits under amplitude amplifying and phase damping decoherence.
