The centerpiece of the 2.4 update is the introduction of two new 5-star Resonators, Cartethyia and Lupa, who will headline the limited-time character banners. Their arrival is akin to a double-edged sword cleaving through the meta, promising to redefine team compositions and combat strategies. Kuro Games has detailed their banner phases and accompanying 4-star characters:

Phase 1 Banner (From June 12):

  • Cartethyia (5-star) - Aero Element, Sword-wielder.

  • Featured 4-star Resonators: Aalto (Aero, Pistol), Baizhi (Glacio, Rectifier), Youhu (Glacio, Gauntlet).

Phase 2 Banner (Expected in early July 2025):

  • Lupa (5-star) - Fusion Element, Broadblade-wielder.

  • Featured 4-star Resonators: Chixia (Fusion, Pistol), Sanhua (Glacio, Sword), Taoqi (Havoc, Broadblade).

Character Spotlight:

  • Cartethyia: Hailing from the Aero roster, Cartethyia is designed as a primary DPS character. Her combat style revolves around applying and exploiting the erosion effect against foes. Her most distinctive ability allows her to enlarge her physical form, unleashing devastating attack combos and significantly amplifying her damage output. She moves through battle with the eerie, fluid grace of a mirage shifting across a desert, her enlarged strikes leaving a lasting impact on the battlefield.

  • Lupa: Wielding a massive broadblade infused with the power of Fusion, Lupa is built for destruction. She excels at dealing massive Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage, making her exceptionally effective against groups of enemies. Her playstyle is that of a classic hypercarry, capable of dominating the field when properly supported. Her presence on the battlefield is as undeniable and overwhelming as a supernova silently collapsing in on itself before its radiant explosion.

Accompanying these powerful new Resonators is the all-new region, Septimont. This uncharted territory promises fresh exploration challenges, environmental puzzles, narrative quests, and formidable enemies for Rovers to discover. The expansion of the game's world is a key part of Kuro Games' ongoing commitment to delivering substantial content updates that deepen the player experience.

As the community counts down to June 12, 2025, anticipation continues to build. This update represents a significant milestone for Wuthering Waves, reinforcing its position in the competitive action-RPG landscape. Players worldwide are preparing their resources and teams for the arrival of Cartethyia and Lupa, ready to conquer the mysteries of Septimont and push the boundaries of their combat prowess in the evolving world of WuWa.
