The second phase of Wuthering Waves' main story brings in a bunch of new characters, like Zani, Lupa, Cartethyia, and a major antagonist, Phrolova, who’s set to shake things up.
Here, we’ll break down all the leaked info about Phrolova’s release, her skills, abilities, and the best teammates to pair her with. Let’s jump in!
Just a heads-up: this is all leaked stuff, so things might change before her official release. Take it with a pinch of salt until the developers confirm it.
Phrolova Basic Information
Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Havoc | Weapon: Rectifier
Phrolova is a big deal in the second chapter of Wuthering Waves’ main story, teased as a playable character since the game’s start, alongside Scar. She’s a Havoc Element character who uses a Rectifier as her weapon.
Phrolova dishes out serious Havoc damage to enemies across a wide area super fast. She’s built to shine as the Main DPS in a Havoc-focused team, boosting her damage when paired with the right crew.
Phrolova Release Date
Phrolova, a key figure in the story, is expected to drop in Wuthering Waves’ Version 2.5 update, rolling out around late July or early August 2025.
Not much is known yet about her exact release schedule or who she’ll share her banner with, but word is her banner will kick off the Version 2.5 update.
Phrolova Skills Kit Leaks & Details
Normal Attack
Basic Attack
Phrolova can chain up to three attacks, dealing Havoc DMG.
Heavy Attack
Burns STA to hit the target with Havoc DMG. Follow up with a Normal Attack right after to trigger Basic Attack Stage 2.
Scarlet Coda
When Phrolova has 6 Volatile Notes (and isn’t in Resolving Chord), Heavy Attack becomes Scarlet Coda, using STA to deal Havoc DMG (counts as Resonance Skill DMG). Each stack of Overtune (up to 24) boosts the DMG Multiplier. This counts as an Echo Skill, and Phrolova enters Resolving Chord afterward.
Mid-air Attack
Uses STA for a Plunging Attack, dealing Havoc DMG.
Dodge Counter
After a successful Dodge, hit Normal Attack to strike the target with Havoc DMG. Follow up quickly to trigger Basic Attack Stage 3.
Resonance Skill
Hits the target with Havoc DMG.
Resonance Liberation
Waltz of Forsaken Depths
When in Resolving Chord, this skill becomes available. Casting it ends Resolving Chord and puts Phrolova in Maestro state for 24 seconds.
Maestro State
Phrolova floats and commands Hecate to attack, sharing her attributes. Hecate’s damage counts as Phrolova’s. Phrolova plays Volatile Notes in order (each lasting 4 seconds). If she’s on the field, she can give Hecate these cues:
- Cue - Basic Attack: Normal Attack makes Hecate use Basic Attack - Hecate.
- Cue - Enhanced Attack: After two Basic Attacks or Dodges, the next Cue - Basic Attack becomes Cue - Enhanced Attack, triggering Hecane’s Enhanced Attack.
- Cue - Dodge: Press Jump to make Hecate dodge.
- Cue - Starting Position: Press Jump to reset Hecate’s position.
If Phrolova’s off the field, Hecate takes no damage and auto-attacks with Basic Attack - Hecate. When teammates use Echo Skill, Hecate uses Enhanced Attack - Hecate. Echoes of the same name can trigger this once in Conducting State. Switching back to Phrolova ends Conducting State.
Hecate Skill Kit
- Basic Attack - Hecate: Up to three attacks, dealing Havoc DMG (counts as Echo Skill DMG).
- Enhanced Attack - Strings: Hecate: When Phrolova uses Musical Piece - Strings, Hecate’s Cue - Enhanced Attack deals Havoc DMG and briefly stagnates targets (Echo Skill DMG).
- Enhanced Attack - Winds: Hecate: With Musical Piece - Winds, Hecate’s Cue - Enhanced Attack deals Havoc DMG and pulls targets slightly (Echo Skill DMG).
- Enhanced Attack - Cadenza: Hecate: With Musical Piece - Cadenza, Hecate’s Cue - Enhanced Attack deals Havoc DMG, stagnates, and pulls targets (Echo Skill DMG).
- Curtain Call - Hecate: If Conducting State doesn’t end with Suite of Doom, Hecate uses this to deal Havoc DMG.
Forte Circuit
Dirage of Demise
Use Normal Attack after Basic Attack Stage 3 or Resonance Skill to cast this, dealing Havoc DMG (Resonance Skill DMG).
Haunting Reverie
Use Resonance Skill after Basic Attack Stage 3 or Resonance Skill to cast this, dealing Havoc DMG (Resonance Skill DMG).
Lingering Note
Phrolova can hold up to 48 stacks. Casting Enhanced Attack - Strings, Winds, or Cadenza (when off-field) grants 1 stack. Stacks reset after 30 seconds out of combat.
Musical Piece
Phrolova holds up to 6 Musical Pieces. When maxed, pieces shift left, dropping the oldest.
- Basic Attack Stage 3 or Dirage of Demise grants Musical Piece - Strings.
- Resonance Skill or Haunting Reverie grants Musical Piece - Winds.
- Inherent Skill - Accidental with Suite of Doom, Suite of Immortality, or Echo Skill replaces the next piece with Musical Piece - Cadenza.
No Musical Pieces are gained in Resolving Chord.
Intro Skill
Suite of Doom
Hits the target with Havoc DMG. Follow with Normal Attack for Basic Attack Stage 3.
Suite of Immortality
After Suite of Doom ends, the next one becomes this, dealing Havoc DMG (Resonance Skill DMG). Follow with Normal Attack for Basic Attack Stage 3.
Outro Skill
The next Resonator gets 20% Havoc DMG and 25% Heavy DMG boosts for 14 seconds or until switched out. If Phrolova’s in Maestro State, this also triggers Cue - Enhanced Attack twice.
Inherent Skill
After Suite of Doom, Suite of Immortality, or Echo Skill, the next Musical Piece becomes Cadenza. Phrolova gains 8 stacks of Lingering Note on entering combat (can’t retrigger within 1 second of exiting). Each stack boosts Crit DMG by 2%.

Casting Dirage of Demise or Haunting Reverie summons Hecate for Phantom of Rebirth: Hecate, dealing Annihilation DMG and granting 8 Echo stacks. In Maestro State with Phrolova active, Hecate’s Normal Attack damage multiplier rises by 300%, and targets take 100% more damage from her.
Phrolova Potential Teammates & Team Synergy
Phrolova, a Havoc Rectifier user, fits as a Main or Sub DPS in Havoc-focused teams, making her a solid centerpiece for clearing tough content. Her kit emphasizes big AoE Havoc damage and Echo usage to amplify her and her team’s output, plus strong coordinated attack synergy. Here are some great teammates:
Cantarella
Cantarella’s the top pick to pair with Phrolova. As a Havoc healer, she boosts Havoc and Echo damage, supports coordinated attacks, and keeps the team alive, letting Phrolova hit harder.
Roccia
Roccia’s a great match, boosting Havoc Main DPS damage and grouping enemies for Phrolova’s AoE attacks. Her supportive Echoes further pump up Phrolova’s damage.
Camellya
Camellya works as a main Havoc DPS alongside Phrolova as Sub DPS. Her quick-swap style and Havoc damage buffs (on and off-field) let the duo shred enemies fast by switching between them.
