Summary
The trailer forWuthering Wavesversion 1.2, titled “In the Turquoise Moonglow,” has been released, generating immense excitement among fans. Despite being under four minutes long, the video highlights a wealth of fresh content, including new characters, exciting events, and powerful weapons. Additionally,Wuthering Wavesdevelopers have confirmed that the update itself will launch on August 15.
Following the massive success of the Thaw of Eons patch, which introduced a new region, Changli, and Jinhsi, excitement for the upcoming update is at an all-time high. WhileWuthering WavesPatch 1.1 significantly enhanced the game, Version 1.2 is set to surpass it with additional quality-of-life improvements, such as being able to store excess Waveplates and a free 5-star unit. As such, for avid fans of the open-world gacha, September 5 should be a day to keep note of.
Wuthering Waves to Feature an Abundance of New Content During Patch 1.2
Wuthering Waves Version 1.2 Appears To Be Worth the Wait
Set to take place after the forthcoming update, a new event called Reprise of Tides will enable returning players to earn rewards through daily check-ins and event tasks. Though details are sparse, theserewards will include Astrite, Crystal Solvents, Premium Resonance Potions, Premium Tuners, and Premium Sealed Tubes. However, since this occasion seems tailored for players who have previously played the game and are returning after a period of inactivity, it appears that not everyone will be eligible.
Arguably even more intriguing, in the first phase of Patch 1.2, Kuro Games will launchZhezi’s banner and companion quest. As a painter grappling with haunting accusations from her past, the Glacio Resonator’s story promises to be emotionally charged. Moreover, the 5-star Rectifier weapon, Rime-Draped Sprouts, is set to be Zhezi’s signature weapon, suggesting that Helix weapon materials will likely be the optimal material for evolving it.
Kuro Games' Generosity Continues With Upcoming 5-star Character Xiangli Yao
Notably, it’s the second 5-star character that has been garnering attention due to his prominence withinWuthering Waves' Version 1.2 trailer. Previously hinted at during the last banner and in the game’s archives, Xiangli Yao is an upcoming Electro Resonator from Jinzhou with a background in Automata Mechanics. The official reveal of the 5-star unit created a buzz in the community for his immersive combat animations, Intro skills, and Forte. However, the most critical news is the announcement that Xiangli Yao will be obtainable for free through the “By Moon’s Grace” event.
Xiangli Yao will be obtainable for free through the “By Moon’s Grace” event.
Scheduled for the second phase of the update, which is expected to commence on September 5, the event will offer Rovers opportunities to earn Popularity for the Moon-Chasing Festival. Those who accumulate enough Popularity will be able to claim Xiangli Yao for free on the Converging Paths page. Currently, it’s uncertain how difficult gaining Popularity will be, but based on details from the developers that players simply need to assist with preparation for the festival, it’s unlikely to be too strenuous. Furthermore, although it appears there won’t be a companion quest for him,Kuro Games' generosity in offering another 5-star characterat no cost shouldn’t go unrecognized.
Along with the 5-star Gauntlet weapon, Verity’s Handle, Xiangli Yao is set to be a valuable addition to any team. However, it’s important to note that Verity’s Handle won’t be available for free. Rather, it will be obtainable throughthe Limited Weapon Convene, which will become available at the same time as his character banner.
