🎮 Meet the New Resonators

Chisa – The 5-Star Havoc Broadblade Support

Chisa debuts as a 5-star Havoc Broadblade resonator from Startorch Academy, wielding a unique scissor-chainsaw weapon. This calm, analytical student specializes in identifying enemy weaknesses as “threads” to cut, perfectly embodying her kit’s focus on Damage over Time (DoT) teams.

Role & Capabilities:

Primary Function: Support/Healer with sub-DPS potential
Key Mechanics: Enhances Negative Status teams through Havoc Bane effects
Team Buffs: Provides healing, damage boosts, DEF reduction, and crowd control
Scaling Path: Viable main DPS at higher sequences (S6)

Why She Matters: Chisa is being compared to Shorekeeper for her versatility. At S0, she’s already a strong support for general teams, making her a safe investment for free-to-play players. Her ability to fit into multiple team compositions offers long-term value beyond niche DPS characters.

Ideal Team Compositions:

DoT-focused setups with Phoebe (Phase 1 rerun)
Aero-Spectro synergy teams
Negative Status amplification squads

Buling – The 4-Star Electro Rectifier Healer

Buling joins as the first new 4-star character since Lumi in Version 1.4, bringing Electro healing and team utility. This Black Shores faction member wields a Rectifier and centers her gameplay around Yin-Yang mechanics.

Role & Capabilities:

Primary Function: Support-healer hybrid with sub-DPS potential
Unique Mechanic: Yin-Yang Balance system triggering enhanced abilities
Team Enhancement: Inflicts Electro Flare, boosts Resonance Skill DMG by 30%
F2P Friendly: Accessible 4-star with substantial team utility

Strategic Value: Buling excels in sustain teams and mono-Electro compositions. Her ability to amplify Resonance Skill damage makes her versatile across various setups, while her healing ensures team survival without sacrificing offensive potential.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do I need to watch the livestream live to get the redemption codes, or can I watch the replay?

You can absolutely obtain redemption codes from the replay! The codes are typically displayed on-screen during the livestream and shared across official social media channels (Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit) immediately after. However, watching live offers advantages: you’ll be among the first to redeem codes before hitting potential redemption limits, and you’ll experience the community excitement in real-time through live chat reactions. The codes usually have 24-hour expiration windows and limited total redemptions (often 1-2 million uses globally), so earlier redemption is safer. If you can’t watch live due to time zone constraints, check the official Wuthering Waves Twitter/X account or community Discord servers within a few hours of the livestream ending—dedicated community members always compile and share all redemption codes in consolidated posts. Set phone reminders to redeem promptly even if you watch later!

Q2: Should I save my Lunites for Chisa, or are the Phase 2 reruns (Phrolova and Cantarella) better value for my account?

This depends entirely on your current roster composition and gameplay priorities. Choose Chisa if: you lack a versatile support-healer character, you’re building DoT-focused teams, you want a character that remains relevant long-term through multiple team archetypes, or you’re close to pity with guaranteed featured character. Chisa’s compared to Shorekeeper for good reason—her flexibility makes her a safe investment that won’t become obsolete. Choose Phase 2 reruns if: you already have strong supports/healers (like Shorekeeper or Verina), you missed Phoebe/Cantarella initially and need their specific roles, you’re building mono-Havoc or specific elemental teams they enable, or you’re targeting higher sequences (constellations) for characters you already own. Additionally, consider Buling—as a 4-star, she offers excellent value for free-to-play accounts with lower investment requirements. The safest approach for F2P players: aim for guaranteed pity on Chisa (80 pulls), then evaluate remaining Lunites for Phase 2 based on your needs. New 5-star debuts typically offer better long-term account value than reruns unless you’re specifically targeting constellation upgrades.
