Kuro Games has officially revealed the gameplay for Hiyuki and Denia, the two new 5-star Lahai-Roi resonators set to debut in Wuthering Waves version 3.3. This major update marks the game's second anniversary and has already generated huge excitement among players. The exclusive footage shared by Xbox showcases their unique combat styles, stunning animations, and potential impact on team compositions in the world of Solaris-3.
Hiyuki: The Glacio Sword DPS
Hiyuki is a Glacio-attribute resonator who wields a sword as her primary weapon. She is positioned as a main DPS with high-impact burst potential and beautiful frost-infused animations. Her gameplay highlights a mix of close-range sword combos and ranged capabilities, making her a versatile addition to Glacio-focused teams.
- Basic Attack: Rapid flurry of sword slashes that build momentum and deal Glacio damage, with some sequences creating ice constructs on the field.
- Resonance Skill: Switches to bow form to fire arrows at range, allowing seamless transitions between melee and ranged combat.
- Resonance Liberation: Enters an enhanced state where attacks deal increased Glacio damage, culminating in a massive finishing slash. The sequence features dramatic snowy effects and high-production animation quality.
Community reactions praise her fluid sword-to-bow gameplay and ice construct mechanics, drawing comparisons to enhanced versions of existing Glacio units like Sanhua. She is expected to excel as a main DPS in condensation or Glacio teams.
Denia: The Fusion Rectifier Sub-DPS
Denia is a Fusion-attribute resonator who uses a rectifier. She functions primarily as a sub-DPS with strong mid-range presence and field control. Her kit features fluid, water-like attack animations despite her Fusion element, paired with a mysterious dark alter-ego theme.
- Basic Attack: Mid-range rectifier strikes that mimic the flow of fluids, delivering consistent Fusion damage from a safe distance.
- Resonance Skill: Supports her fluid combat style with positioning-focused attacks that help maintain pressure on enemies.
- Resonance Liberation: Connects with her dark alter ego to enter a special stance. A demonic hand creates a disadvantageous field for enemies, followed by heavy attacks and the summoning of a giant prism that prolongs the field's duration even after she exits the stance.
Denia's ethereal design and unique field mechanics position her as a strong support-style sub-DPS, perfect for teams needing sustained damage and crowd control. Her backstory as a Startorch Academy student secretly working for the Fractsidus adds intriguing lore depth.
Both characters will arrive in the upcoming 3.3 update alongside new story content, rewards, and free Astrites to celebrate the second anniversary. Full kit details, voice lines, and signature weapons are expected to be revealed in the coming days through official streams and drip marketing. The community is already debating pull priorities between the flashy main DPS Hiyuki and the versatile sub-DPS Denia.
