(Image via Kuro Games) As Wuthering Waves is approaching its first anniversary, Version 2.3 Phase 2 is set on delivering the whirlwind of content. It brings fresh faces with some returning favorites. The update even introduces a powerful new resonator, offering the players a chance to recruit past the meta-defining characters. Here is what is brewing in the second half of the update. Wuthering Waves 2.3 phase 2 schedule and characters WUTHERING WAVES 2.3 ANNIVERSARY!! | I'm sure there's more I need to do... FOR CIACCONA 💚 Phase 2 begins on May 22, 2025. Operation Sindoor 'Pakistan army moving its troops in forward areas': Key takeaways from govt briefing 'Pak used drones, long-range weapons, jets to attack India's military sites' 'Attempted malicious misinformation campaign': Govt calls out Pakistan's propaganda The main highlight of it is Ciaccona , the 5-star Aero Resonator, wielding pistols with deadly precision. Unlike the typical damage dealers, she has her specialization in Aero Erosion, which weakens the enemies, increasing all their vulnerabilities to wind-based attacks by 100%. Ciaccona's kit includes crowd control, which pulls together the foes for devastating team combos. It makes her an ideal to pair with the Aero Rover. Note: Pair Ciaccona with Cartethyia-like future units for the devastating elemental synergy. Alongside Ciaccona, the fan-favorite 5-stars are returning. The list of characters includes Jinhsi (Spectro), Carlotta (Glacio), Changli (Fusion), Brant (Fusion), and Roccia (Havoc). The character's signature weapons, like the Blazing Brilliance (sword of Changli) and Ages of Harves (broadblade of Jinhsi), are even featured in the dedicated Anniversary Weapon convene. Four-star allies like Mortefi, Danjin, and Yangyang will also feature the boosted drop rates, providing flexibility for team-building. Skins, weapons, and anniversary rewards The Phase 2 weapon banner further introduces the Woodland Aria, signature pistols of Ciaccona, alongside the reruns of powerful 5-starred weapons like Ages of Harves and Blazing Brilliance. It will also have some 4-star weapons like Relativistic Jet and Undying Flame, round out the roster, catering to the diverse playstyles. To celebrate the anniversary, the new skins for Carlotta and Changli will debut, sparking speculation of potential returns. Also, Kuro Games is resetting the top-up bonus for the in-game purchases, offering the players a renewed value for the premium currency. The mysterious new characters like Lupa and Cartethyia are also arriving in Version 2.4. For now, the Phase 2 blend of innovation and nostalgia ensures Wuthering Waves fans will have no shortage of reasons for diving back in or joining the fray for 1st time. More than banners: Events and the QoL updates Beyond the new recruits, Phase 2 even introduces limited-time anniversary events with exclusive rewards. It includes upgraded materials and cosmetics. As per leaks, there will be a Sentinel legacy story event delving into the past of Ciaccona as Blessed Maiden. Improvements in quality of life are expected further. With Version 2.4 Cartethyia and Luna already teased, Kuro Games will ensure that the players have plenty to look forward to and the reason to keep on celebrating. Phase 2 runs between May 22 and June 11, 2025, offering the players 3 weeks to secure Ciaccona and the rerun characters. So, whether you are chasing the meta teams or the storyline, the update will deliver you depth and power.

Wuthering Waves 2.3 Anniversary update, rewards, free pulls, Astrites and more
Image via: Kuro Games The occasion will mark a year since Wuthering Waves was launched, and Kuro Games is marking the milestone with the Version 2.3 update that goes live on 28 April 2025. Players have been buzzing with a lot of expectations of giveaways, special events, and generous free pulls. 100 pulls for everyone: But is that enough? For all intents and purposes, Version 2.3 appears very generous. Roughly 100 free pulls on a limited banner ensures that 5-star character players can score almost 9,420 Astrites, 42 Radiant Tides, 22 Lustrous Tides, and 7 Forging Tides. But here's what happens, that number doesn't differ much from non-anniversary patches in the past. Most of the rewards come from events, dailies, or login bonuses. Tower of Adversity, Whimpering Wastes, and Holograms repeat still have a similar contribution amount as last patches. There are anniversary events still to be celebrated, such as Cubie Derby, Cube, Cubic n Cubie, and Memory Travelogue though they add flavor, their structures for rewards are still kind of familiar. A celebration but with strings attached Not all rewards are free. The new Echo Data Modifier and good-looking Flight Aspect carry a lot of value for collectors. But people hoping for purely cosmetic free stuff are in for a rude awakening. Some special items Changli's exclusive outfit and Carlotta's exclusive outfit come with price tags that can be discounted if you play your cards right. Kuro Games is refreshing its top-up bonuses, also offering a double recharge bonus that's available only once. How Many Pulls Can You Get in Wuthering Waves 2.3 Anniversary Update? New faces, familiar patterns That's what the banners in Version 2.3 are for, the treat ready to entice the eye. Zani and Ciaconna as the headliners with two known 5-star fan-favorites in the selection banners. And on the other hand both halves of the update lie within Jiyan, Yinlin, Jinhsi, and Carlotta. It is a smart play, one that brings nostalgia and wishful thinking in a celebration patch. And two new permanent modes, Dreaming Deep and Resounding Waves, are awaiting release, while the actual rewards from these events remain decently under the radar. The buzzing question is whether they would weigh the scales downwards. Is Wuthering Waves playing it too safe? Version 2.3 is doing its business without going the extra mile. Kuro Games was clearly playing it safe, able to only offer event stuff and somewhat stable generosity rather than overloading players on the first anniversary with bombastic substance. Heartbreaking, fans expected fireworks early on. Yet again, there might be some time left. As events roll in and with a chance for surprise rewards, Version 2.3 may still have some tricks up its sleeve.
