Hey Rovers! Kuro Games just dropped the official livestream for Wuthering Waves version 2.2, and let me tell you, the hype is real! 🎉 As a fellow Rover, I’ve been scouring every detail, and I’m here to break down everything you need to know about the upcoming banners. From the debut of a brand-new 5-star healer to the return of some fan-favorite powerhouses, patch 2.2 is shaping up to be one you won’t want to miss. So, ready your Astrite and let’s dive into what’s coming!
First things first, the star of the show! Cantarella is making her grand entrance as the brand-new 5-star Resonator in the first phase of version 2.2, launching on March 27, 2025. Isn’t it exciting to finally get a concrete date? She’s a Havoc attribute user who wields a Rectifier, but here’s the twist—she’s not just about dealing damage. Her kit is packed with team-wide healing and damage buffs. Think about it, a Havoc character who can also sustain your team? That sounds like a game-changer for so many comps! She’s perfect for players who want more versatility in their squad.
But wait, there’s more in phase one! Camellya is also getting a rerun banner alongside Cantarella. Remember her? The powerhouse Havoc sword user who can decimate enemies with just her Basic Attacks? If you missed her the first time around, this is your chance to bring this incredible DPS home.
So, who can you actually pull for in the first phase? Let me list them out for you:
Phase 1 Character Banner (Starting March 27, 2025):
-
5-Star Resonators:
-
🆕 Cantarella (Havoc / Rectifier)
-
🔁 Camellya (Havoc / Sword)
-
-
Featured 4-Star Resonators:
-
Danjin (Havoc)
-
Chixia (Fusion)
-
Yuanwu (Electro)
-
And of course, what’s a character banner without their signature weapons? The Phase 1 weapon banner will feature:
-
Whisper of Sirens (Cantarella’s Signature 5-Star Rectifier)
-
Camellya’s signature 5-Star Sword
Planning your pulls yet? 🤔 If you’re aiming for Cantarella, saving for her signature weapon might be a great idea to unlock her full potential.
Now, let’s talk about the second phase. While Kuro Games hasn’t given us an exact date yet (we’ll have to wait for that announcement), we know who’s headlining: the one and only Shorekeeper!
Shorekeeper’s rerun is huge news! As a 5-star Spectro Resonator who also uses a Rectifier, she’s arguably one of the most sought-after supports in the game. Why, you ask? She provides massive healing and significant damage buffs for your entire team. If you’re struggling with endgame content or just want to make your main DPS hit even harder, pulling for Shorekeeper could be the best decision you make this patch.
Here’s the full lineup expected for the Phase 2 character banner:
Phase 2 Character Banner (Date TBA):
-
5-Star Resonator:
- 🔁 Shorekeeper (Spectro / Rectifier)
-
Featured 4-Star Resonators:
-
Aalto (Aero)
-
Sanhua (Glacio)
-
Baizhi (Glacio)
-
Naturally, her signature weapon, the beautiful Stellar Symphony Rectifier, will also be available on the concurrent weapon banner. If you’re a Shorekeeper main or plan to be, this weapon is a massive upgrade.
Let’s do a quick recap and resource check, shall we?
| Phase | Start Date | Featured 5-Stars | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | March 27, 2025 | Cantarella (New), Camellya | New Healer/Buffer & Top-Tier DPS Rerun |
| Phase 2 | To Be Announced | Shorekeeper | Premier Support Rerun |
So, Rovers, the big question is… who are you saving for? 🧐
-
Need a versatile healer who also buffs your team’s damage? Cantarella is your pick.
-
Want a straightforward, brute-force DPS that destroys everything? Go for Camellya.
-
Looking to supercharge your existing team with top-tier support? Shorekeeper is the answer.
My advice? Check your current roster. Do you lack a reliable healer? Cantarella might fill that gap. Do you need more raw damage output? Camellya’s rerun is a blessing. Is your team squishy or lacking buffs? Start saving for Shorekeeper in phase two!
Remember, with 2026 just around the corner, the meta is always evolving, but strong supports and versatile healers like Shorekeeper and Cantarella tend to have incredible long-term value. Start planning your Astrite and Lustrous Tide budget now! Good luck with your pulls, everyone! May your convenes be blessed with early 5-stars! 🙏✨
