Wuthering Waves Augusta release date, character details and more
Image via: Kuro Games Causing Ripples in the rich Resonator Universe, Wuthering Waves cannot resist dazzling the players with a new character of brawling eminence: Augusta. Starting with a teaser on July 29, 2025, Augusta is slated to join the character line-up from Version 2.6 onwards, ultimately entering with Phrolova and the rest post the 2.4 Livestream. But Augusta truly offers a much more grandiose lore presence and gameplay influence than being any regular face in the Resonator line. A Leader Forged in Battle and Politics By Wuthering Wave lore, Augusta is no mere fighter. Being the Ephor of Septimont-a very traditional land, where people earn positions on intellect, power, and victories fought through the arena. She is described as the most powerful gladiator and the most excellent strategist: a rare combination of raw might and political cunning. Having once been a Grand Agon champion,the combat-heavy tradition that lies at the heart of Septimont's existence and culture, she gained glory and unquestionable influence. Ties to Iuno and the Temple of Septimont The handling of Septimont politics is a bit more complicated for Augusta, with some decisions standing on either side of Iuno, often the mysterious Priestess of the Temple of Septimont. The duo can be seen as strategic partners in all things ritual, philosophy, and law: Augusta is meant to be the strong arm and head of state, while Iuno's insight provides a link to the more subtle spiritual currents of the region. Together, the two present an imposing power over the fate of Septimont. One would expect their storyline to be integrated into quests or character missions where one must choose between brute justice and some other form of ritualistic balance, perhaps a pivotal choice defining Augusta's arc in subsequent builds. AUGUSTA FIGHTS WITH A GRIFFON! l Wuthering Waves 2.6 Drip Marketing What We Know About Her Gameplay (So Far) Her element and weapon type still remain a mystery, but in all probability, the Augusta kit will carry some elements to complement her burst combat, buffs, or field control. Being a former champion of Agon and a present-day Ephor means her combat style may reward stellar decision-making and battlefield dominance. Now that Version 2.6 is fast approaching, Augusta is more than just an addition to the roster-this character epitomizes the advancing storyline. Bright, political, and thick with lore, Augusta may very well change the tone for future updates. Whether it is the lore, or the combat, this Resonator is one for the record books.

Wuthering Waves Phrolova build guide, best weapons, teams and more
Image via: Kuro Games Wuthering Waves Version 2.5 places the long-awaited Phrolova in the spotlight, an on-field/off-field Havoc DPS who manipulates Echoes and summons spectres of Hecate for bruising combos. This 5-star Rectifier Resonator has been around since Chapter 1, but building her to full potential requires exacting details-from weapon investments to team synergy. Here is the all-in-one guide for building Phrolova. Phrolova Playstyle & Core Mechanics Phrolova whips out big damage while on-field presence and the synchronized team act behind. Her kit revolves around building Forte Gauge that heightens her Basic and Resonance Skills, which then are channeled into heavily damaging Enhanced Heavy Attacks. Hecate then steps in for follow-ups once Resonance Liberation is activated, and then the new Outro Skill would significantly boost the next Resonator's Havoc and Heavy Attack DMG. Skill Priority: Resonance Liberation (max out first, Hecate boost) Forte Circuit (everything else is important follow-up) Normal Attack (for Scarlet Coda scaling) Intro Skill (useful, yet less synergy) Resonance Skill (lowest return against others) ULTIMATE Phrolova Guide and Showcase! [Best Builds and MORE] Wuthering Waves Top Weapon Picks for Phrolova Weapons in Phrolova aren't exactly free-to-play friendly. A split of damage between Echo Skill and Resonance Skill necessitates separate weapons to properly optimize the damage coming from both. Lethean Elegy (Signature Weapon: Best in Slot) Crit Rate: 24.3% Base ATK: 588 Effect : ATK +12% After the usage of Echo Skill, it provides 32% Echo & Resonance Skill DMG Bonus and bypasses 8% DEF. Why it's great: Built for Phrolova, this weapon affects all of her damage outputs and fits flawlessly into her rotation. SHE'S BREAKING RECORDS!! | BEST Phrolova Guide & Build [Weapons & Teams Ranked] - Wuthering Waves Other Weapons Whispers of Sirens : As much as 72% Crit DMG and conditional buffs that ignore Havoc RES. Stringmaster : Crit Rate 36% and ATK stacking, ideal for rotation flexibility. Rime-Draped Sprouts: High Crit DMG, concentrated on ramping up off-field Basic Attacks. Cosmic Ripples : Better for sustained output, with energy regen and stacking attack bonus. Augment : High Crit Rate and +48% ATK after Liberation, a reliable power. Echo Recommendations & Stat Focus Echo Sets: Havoc DMG Bonus or Skill DMG Bonus Echoes are prioritized. Choose Echoes that give Crit Rate/DMG, ATK%, and Energy Regen in order to smooth out Hecate rotations. Stat Targets: Main Stats: ATK%, Crit Rate/Crit DMG and Havoc DMG Bonus Sub Stats: Energy Regen, ATK%, Crit (look for 1:2 Crit Rate to Crit DMG ratio) Best Team Compositions for Phrolova Phrolova performs best in teams that allow for frequent Echo Skill triggering and capitalize on her Outro buffs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo She can be built as a main DPS or for quick-swap teams. Recommended Teams Phrolova + Cantarella + Roccia Cantarella grants Havoc and Crit buffs Roccia provides off-field shielding and survivability Phrolova + Shorekeeper + Cantarella Shorekeeper sustains energy regen and defensive utility Cantarella enables Echo synergy Phrolova + Danjin + Verina Danjin offers burst and damage pressure Verina is a flexible healer that buffs ATK and survivability MOST FLEXIBLE CHARACTER! BEST S0 PHROLOVA Guide & Build [Best Echoes, Weapons & Teams] WUWA Phrolova is an incredibly rewarding character for players willing to invest in the right gear and build synergy around her strengths. While her best weapons are gated behind 5-star banners, smart team compositions and Echo choices can bridge that gap for mid-spenders and F2P players alike. She's not just a DPS unit, she's a battlefield conductor, commanding Echoes and teammates with elegant devastation. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Wuthering Waves Phrolova release date, banner details and more
Image via: Kuro Games Everyone is excited over the very mysterious new character who is entering Wuthering Waves, Phrolova, right before the Version 2.5 update go live. Pending release on July 24, 2025, this 5-star Havoc Resonator will bring a combat style dripping with eerie graceful beauty, fresh narrative presence, and a kit designed for crowd control and explosive DPS. Here is a little break-up of what to expect from the advent of this Fractsidus maiden. Phrolova's Debut: The Havoc Force Phrolova will open the Phase 1 banner of Version 2.5 and her debut will be accompanied by her signature Rectifier weapon, the Lethean Elegy. She is the only new 5-star unit that would land on this patch, thereby reinforcing her spotlight. With narrative relevance and meta potential on her side, Phrolova will be the resonator definitely worth pulling for powerful Havoc DPS with versatile good range capabilities. Phase 1 Banner Lineup: Who's Joining the Stage? Though Phrolova takes center-stage, the Phase 1 Banner will feature reruns of familiar faces, making it a draw for the veterans and newcomers alike. Here's the lineup in full: Phrolova (5★, Havoc, Rectifier) Roccia (5★, Havoc, Gauntlet) Taoqi (4★, Havoc, Broadblade) Lumi (4★, Electro, Broadblade) Yuanwu (4★, Electro, Gauntlet) Weapons available will include Lethean Elegy for Phrolova and Tragicomedy for Roccia, ensuring players can fully build their optimization. Combat mechanics: Life, Death, and Sound Gameplay with Phrolova centers around musical motifs and transforming states. It somehow gives a rhythm-based style of combat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful! Undo Her Normal Attacks are a set of three Havoc-based strikes; the third-stage transition into the Reincarnate state opens more powerful abilities. Her Heavy Attack can become Scarlet Coda: an explosive AoE skill, contingent on certain conditions, Compose state active and Volatile Notes fully charged. Scarlet Coda staggers enemies and pulls them in on top of that, serving as excellent crowd control. Another core feature is her Resonance Skill, Whispers in a Fleeting Dream, which deals Havoc damage and kicks her straight into Reincarnate mode, allowing for smooth skill chaining and some creative combo windows. Her kit lends her to making suitable choices for both solo and coordinated team engagements. Wuthering Waves | Resonator Showcase | Phrolova — SUNSETS WILL BE NO MORE Strategic Importance and Pull Recommendation Strategically, from a meta standpoint, Phrolova's Havoc typing gives her an edge in battles where elemental resist rotation comes into play. Everywhere else, she should leave a solid imprint due to her general area control and specialized mechanics: therefore, in both normal and late-game content alike. Whether you're a lore enthusiast curious about the implications behind her Fractsidus connection or a min-maxer aiming for the perfect build, Phrolova's first appearance stands as both a story beat and a tactical opportunity. Phrolova's banner will open on July 24, 2025, at 11 AM (UTC+8) to all servers globally, with regional release times staggered accordingly. With her arrival comes the first wave of Version 2.5, with rerun banners expected to follow in Phase 2. If you plan to pull for her, do remember that wrecking synergy with her signature weapon is her best jackpot because in Wuthering Waves, synergy is everything.
