2.5 Changes and Additions
Version 2.5 of Wuthering Waves steps things up with new characters, tougher game modes, and some solid system upgrades. The big news is the addition of Cartethyia and Lupa.
Phrolova
Phrolova is a new 5-star Havoc Rectifier user who dishes out serious burst damage. She’s a beast as both DPS and Sub DPS, blasting enemies with wide-area Havoc damage. She works best with a Havoc-focused team to crank up her damage. Pair her with her signature weapon, Lethean Elegy, to boost her Echo DMG and max out her burst potential. Word is, a new Havoc main DPS named Chisa might be coming soon, so keep an eye out!
