Who are the New Characters in WuWa 2.8?
Two new characters are releasing in the Wuthering Waves 2.8 update:
Chisa
 | Rarity | 5-star |
| Attribute | Havoc | |
| Weapon | Broadblade |
Chisa wields a Havoc Broadblade and serves as a key support unit for teams built around Negative Status effects. Her Outro Skill increases the cap of both Negative Status and Electro Rage stacks on enemies by three. This greatly strengthens her team's ability to apply debuffs. Moreover, her Resonance Liberation skill offers consistent team healing, which restores HP to all nearby allies and improves overall battle endurance.
Buling
 Buling | Rarity | 4-star |
| Attribute | Electro | |
| Weapon | Rectifier |
Buling is an Electro healer who increases recovery and team damage. She applies Electro Flare to enemies and raises Resonance Skill damage with her Outro Skill. When she enters Yin-Yang Balance, her upgraded ability, Flashing Thunder Seal: Harmony, summons a field that deals continuous Electro damage and strengthens allies' attacks. This grants up to a 30% Resonance Skill damage bonus after a few skill uses.
WuWa 2.8 New Weapon
The leaks of Wuthering Waves 2.8 banners show that one weapon is featured as part of the update.
Kumokiri (5★)
Base ATK: 500 丨 Crit Rate: 36%
The 5-star weapon Kumokiri joins the lineup in WuWa 2.8 and offers powerful bonuses for Resonators who specialize in Negative Status effects. Its Thread of Fate passive ability first grants a 12% increase to ATK. Each time the wielder uses an Intro Skill or triggers a Negative Status, their Resonance Liberation damage grows by 8%. It stacks up to three times and lasts for 15 seconds.
After all stacks are active, any teammate who inflicts or deals Negative Status damage activates an additional 24% all-attribute damage bonus for the entire team, which lasts 15 seconds. Note that multiple effects of this kind cannot overlap.
WuWa 2.8 New Echo Set
A brand-new Echo set is also arriving with the Wuthering Waves 2.8 update to give players another way to increase their team's power:
Thread of Severed Fate
3-Piece Effect: When the user inflicts Havoc Bane, their ATK increases by 20% and they gain a 30% Resonance Liberation damage bonus for 5 seconds.
WuWa 2.8 New Skin
Zani is also getting a brand-new skin in WuWa 2.8. This outfit will be 4-star rarity and match the style and tier of Carlotta and Changli's skins.
