Wuthering Waves Officially Reveals 5-Star Characters for Version 2.1

Wuthering Waves reveals Phoebe and Brant as the next 5-star Rinascita characters arriving in Version 2.1. Early speculation, based on in-game lore, suggests Phoebe will be a Spectro unit and Brant a sword-wielding character. Their arrival promises significant story developments, and hints at further character releases, including Zani.

Version 2.0 introduced the 5-star Carlotta (Glacio/Pistol DPS) and Roccia (Havoc unit), alongside a new story chapter and explorable areas. Carlotta's banner runs until January 23rd, followed by Roccia's. The excitement surrounding Version 2.1's Phoebe and Brant is building, with Phoebe potentially debuting in Phase 1 and Brant in Phase 2. While their element and weapon types remain unconfirmed, their established roles within the Wuthering Waves narrative strongly suggest their class specializations.

Developer Kuro Games' official announcements confirm the 5-star rarity for both Phoebe and Brant. Phoebe, an Acolyte of the Order of the Deep, is described as serene yet joyful, while Brant, captain of the Fool's Troupe (Roccia's troupe), maintains a carefree exterior while prioritizing his troupe's safety. Both are poised to play crucial roles in future updates. Zani remains the only unannounced Rinascita character, previously hinted at in promotional material. Further character additions are rumored, pending official confirmation.

Version 2.0, slated to conclude around mid-February, also features a premium Jinhsi skin and a free Sanhua skin obtainable via an event starting January 23rd.
