In Wuthering Waves 2.3 Phase 2 (May 22–June 11, 2025), the Anniversary Resonator Convene Phase II rerun banner features five 5-star characters: Jinhsi, Changli, Carlotta, Roccia, and Brant, while Ciaccona debuts on her own banner. Choosing who to pull depends on your team, playstyle, and resources.
Here’s a quick guide to each character, their roles, and weapon banners to help you decide.
Jinhsi (Spectro, Broadblade, Main DPS)
Hard-hitting main DPS with big burst damage and simple rotations, great for new players.
Reason to Pull
- Deals massive Spectro damage, especially against single targets or multi-wave fights.
- Easy to gear up and pairs well with supports like Zhezhi or Verina.
- Her signature weapon, Ages of Harvest, boosts her damage significantly.
Reason to Skip
- Can overkill in multi-wave fights, wasting damage.
- If you have Zani (Spectro DPS from Phase 1), resource overlap makes her less necessary.
Changli (Fusion, Sword, Main DPS/Sub-DPS)
Flexible DPS who can carry or deal off-field damage with quick sword attacks.
Reason to Pull
- Delivers big Fusion damage and synergizes with Fusion teams.
- Fun, fast playstyle that excels in tough endgame content.
- Great chance to grab her if you missed her in Version 2.1.
Reason to Skip
- Need players to learn quick swap to maximize her potential.
- Her rotations are trickier than Jinhsi’s, less ideal for beginners.
Carlotta (Glacio, Pistols, Main DPS)
Steady Glacio DPS with a pistol-based kit, added in Version 2.0.
Reason to Pull
- Reliable for single-target and AoE damage, fitting most content. Innate stun on skill make her ideal for tackling hologram bosses.
- Works well with Zhezhi or Verina for support.
- Effective against nimble enemies that like zipping around.
Reason to Skip
- Needs her signature weapon, The Last Dance, to perform at her best.
Roccia (Havoc, Gauntlets, Main DPS)
Close-range Sub DPS with Havoc damage, added in Version 2.1.
Reason to Pull
- Good Havoc support for Camellya or Cantarella.
- AoE grouping makes her perfect for WhiWa
Reason to Skip
- Gauntlets can feel clunky due to short range.
- Less versatile than Jinhsi or Changli for varied team setups.
Brant (Fusion, Sword, Main DPS)
Melee DPS with Fusion damage, added in Version 2.1.
Reason to Pull
- Cool, fast sword attacks with unique aerial combat focus. Has both shield and heal, providing players with an additional layer of sustain.
- Synergizes with Fusion supports like Changli or Mortefi.
Reason to Skip
- Needs very good rolls on gear and supports to shine.
Ciaccona (Aero, Pistols, Sub-DPS/Support)
Off-field damage and support, focusing on Aero Erosion and boosting Aero damage.
Reason to Pull
- Applies Aero Erosion with Basic Attacks, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Liberation, enhancing Aero team damage.
- Increases enemies’ Aero damage taken, great for Aero teams with Jiyan or the upcoming Cartethyia in Version 2.4.
- Her signature weapon, Woodland Aria (5-star Pistol), improves her support and damage.
- Fits both free-to-play and high-spending teams with her hybrid role.
Reason to Skip
- Less useful without other Aero characters.
- As a Sub-DPS/Support, she’s not ideal if you need a main DPS.
Should You Pull?
- Go for it if you’re building an Aero team or planning for Cartethyia in Version 2.4. She’s a smart pick for long-term team building.
- Skip if you lack Aero DPS units or need a main DPS like Jinhsi.
Verdict
Overall, you should focus on main DPS such as Jinhsi, Carlotta, and Changli first, if you haven't gotten them or need DPS characters. Support/Sub DPS characters like Roccia, Brant and Ciaccona have lower priority.
The weapon banner is pretty much the same - it is better to focus on weapons of the main DPS (Jinhsi, Carlotta, and Changli) first.
