Version 3.3 Phase 2 launches on May 21, 2026, bringing the highly anticipated new limited 5-star Resonator Denia along with rerun banners for Chisa and Phrolova. This phase continues the 2nd anniversary celebrations with strong limited-time value across character and weapon banners.
Here is a clear, practical breakdown of banner value, team synergies, and pull recommendations to help you decide where to spend your Astrite and Radiant Tides.
Phase 2 Banner Overview
Phase 2 runs roughly from May 21 to early July 2026 and features a triple-banner setup:
- Denia Banner (New Limited 5★)
- Chisa Banner (Rerun 5★)
- Phrolova Banner (Rerun 5★)
Denia is a Fusion Rectifier sub-DPS and support who switches between two forms. In Stagecraft Form she builds Void Particles for protection and setup. In Breakdown Form she unleashes powerful Fusion bursts while providing team damage buffs. She excels in two popular archetypes: Fusion Burst teams (especially with Aemeath and Chisa) and Tune Strain teams (with Luuk Herssen).
Chisa returns as a Havoc Broadblade support focused on negative status effects. She pairs excellently with the new Denia in Fusion Burst compositions.
Phrolova is a Havoc Rectifier main DPS returning for players who want to strengthen or start a Havoc-focused roster.
The boosted 4-stars include Chixia, Buling, and Yangyang. Chixia in particular may see renewed interest due to team synergies in this patch.
Weapon banners run alongside them, headlined by Denia’s signature Forged Dwarf Star (Rectifier).
Denia Banner Value Assessment
Denia stands out as the highest-value pull of Phase 2.
Strengths
- Dual-form playstyle offers excellent flexibility and strong personal damage plus team amplification.
- Enables and elevates Fusion Burst teams (Aemeath + Chisa core) and Tune Strain lineups.
- Shortens rotations and boosts overall team damage noticeably.
- As a brand-new limited unit on anniversary patch, she receives solid balancing and long-term support.
- Described by many theorycrafters as one of the strongest sub-DPS buffers currently available.
Who should pull
- Players building or improving Fusion teams.
- Anyone who owns or plans to pull Aemeath or Chisa.
- Players interested in Tune Strain compositions with Luuk Herssen.
- Most meta-focused and long-term players (high priority for C0).
Value Tier: S-tier. Very safe and high-impact pull for the majority of players.
Weapon consideration: Her signature Forged Dwarf Star is the clear best-in-slot. Pull it if you are committing to Denia as a main investment. Free-to-play players can often make do with strong 4-star or standard 5-star Rectifiers, but the signature provides noticeable gains.
Chisa Banner Value Assessment
Chisa’s rerun carries strong conditional value because of her direct synergy with the new Denia.
Strengths
- Excellent negative status support that enables high-damage Fusion Burst teams.
- Direct teammate for Denia’s best composition.
- Broadblade support that fills a specific but powerful niche.
Who should pull
- Players who want to maximize Denia immediately.
- Anyone missing Chisa and planning negative status or Fusion teams.
- Players who enjoy her playstyle and already have supporting units.
Value Tier: A-tier (very high if you are pulling Denia; medium otherwise).
If you already own Chisa, you can safely skip unless you want constellations.
Phrolova Banner Value Assessment
Phrolova offers solid but more situational value as a Havoc main DPS.
Strengths
- Strong Havoc damage dealer with her own dedicated playstyle.
- Good option for players lacking a premium Havoc DPS.
- Rerun means lower risk for collectors.
Who should pull
- Players actively building or expanding a Havoc roster.
- Fans of Phrolova who missed her previous run.
- Players who enjoy Rectifier main DPS gameplay.
Value Tier: B-tier. Worth considering only if Havoc is a priority or you have extra resources after securing Denia.
Weapon Banner Value
- Forged Dwarf Star (Denia): High value alongside the character.
- Kumokiri (Chisa) and Lethean Elegy (Phrolova): Good personal upgrades but lower priority than the new signature.
General rule: Weapon banners in Wuthering Waves are efficient when you are already pulling the matching character. Otherwise, save for future limited weapons or use the standard weapon banner.
Pull Priority Recommendations
High Priority (Recommended for most players)
- Denia (C0 minimum)
- Denia’s signature weapon (if pulling the character)
- Chisa (if you need the support synergy for Denia teams)
Medium Priority
- Phrolova (only if you need a Havoc DPS)
- Chisa constellations (if you already own her and love the team)
Low Priority / Skip
- Phrolova weapon unless heavily invested in her
- Any banner if your current roster already covers strong DPS and support needs
Free-to-Play & Low Spender Advice
Focus almost entirely on Denia. Use any anniversary free pulls and guarantee system wisely. If you lose the 50/50, consider whether you still want to chase her or save the guarantee for a future must-have unit.
Mid-to-High Spender Advice
Secure Denia + weapon early, then evaluate Chisa. You have more flexibility to pick up Phrolova or constellations if desired.
Final Thoughts
Phase 2 of Version 3.3 delivers excellent value through Denia, a versatile and powerful new sub-DPS/support who immediately strengthens multiple team archetypes. The rerun banners for Chisa and Phrolova add meaningful options, especially for players chasing specific synergies or Havoc content.
Plan your pulls around your current roster:
- Need strong team buffs and new meta options? → Prioritize Denia.
- Already have strong supports and just want more DPS variety? → Evaluate Phrolova or save.
- Want to complete the best Denia team right away? → Consider Chisa as well.
Always check post-release tier lists and community testing for final number tuning, but early indications point to Denia as a high-value, future-relevant unit worth serious consideration.
