Wuthering Waves Officially Reveals 5-Star Characters for Version 2.1

Wuthering Waves Unveils Phoebe and Brant as Upcoming 5-Star Rinascita Characters

Version 2.1 of Wuthering Waves will introduce Phoebe and Brant as the next 5-Star Rinascita characters. While their exact weapon types and elements remain unconfirmed, lore suggests Phoebe will be a Spectro unit and Brant a sword wielder. Both characters are expected to significantly impact future updates. The addition of Phoebe and Brant follows the recent 2.0 update, which included the 5-Star Glacio DPS Carlotta (currently featured on a banner alongside Zhezhi until January 23rd) and the Havoc unit Roccia. Zani is another character anticipated to debut in subsequent updates.

Following the successful launch of Version 2.0, which featured a new story chapter, expanded explorable areas, and the introduction of the Rinascita system, developer Kuro Games has confirmed Phoebe and Brant's arrival via official Twitter announcements. The phased release suggests Phoebe will appear in Version 2.1 Phase 1, with Brant following in Phase 2.

Further details on Phoebe and Brant's in-game roles are hinted at in their established lore. Phoebe, a devout Acolyte of the Order of the Deep within Rinascita, maintains a serene exterior while possessing a cheerful disposition. Brant, the charismatic captain of the Fool's Troupe (a traveling Carnevale show sharing a member with Roccia), masks his protective nature behind a relaxed persona.

Version 2.0, slated to conclude around mid-February, also includes a premium skin for Jinhsi and a free Sanhua skin obtainable through an upcoming event starting January 23rd. The anticipation for Phoebe and Brant, along with the potential arrival of Zani and other rumored characters, keeps the excitement high for Wuthering Waves' future content.
