Wuthering Waves Reveals Six Upcoming Playable Characters
Per her lore, Phrolova is one of the Overseers of the Fractsidus, an enemy faction that aims to resurrect the Threnodians across Solaris-3. She is very powerful and can summon and manipulate Echoes like Hecate. Because of her strength, fans have speculated she could be a 5-Star unit, butWuthering Waveshas yet to confirm her rarity. If all six upcoming characters turn out to be five-stars, the disparity between character classes would be greater, since there are only 11four-star units inWuthering Waves. On the other hand, the Version 2.4 trailer revealed the return of Scar, another highly anticipated character, but it seems his playability isn’t planned for the near future.
Wuthering WavesVersion 2.4is scheduled for June 12 and will transport fans to a new explorable Rinascita area named Septimont. The patch will mark the playable debut of the 5-star units Cartethyia and Lupa.Wuthering Wavesis also adding skins for Carlotta and Changli, as well as new aspects for the Glider and Wings.
