Wuthering Waves announces Phoebe and Brant as the next 5-Star Rinascita characters for Version 2.1. Speculation points to Phoebe as a Spectro unit and Brant as a sword-wielding character, based on their established lore. Their arrival signifies a significant addition to the playable roster, and further character releases, including Zani, are anticipated.
Version 2.0's successful launch introduced Carlotta (a 5-Star Glacio Pistol DPS) and Roccia (a Havoc unit), whose banners run concurrently until January 23rd. Following their debut, the focus shifts to Phoebe and Brant, likely debuting in phases 1 and 2 of Version 2.1 respectively. While weapon types and elements remain unconfirmed, in-game encounters suggest their roles. Phoebe, an Acolyte of the Order of the Deep, exhibits a serene yet joyful nature; Brant, the captain of the Fool's Troupe (Roccia's group), maintains a carefree facade while prioritizing his troupe's safety. Both are expected to be pivotal in future updates.
The upcoming Version 2.1 will also see the arrival of additional characters, though details are currently scarce. Version 2.0, concluding around mid-February, also features a premium Jinhsi skin and a free Sanhua skin obtainable through an event starting January 23rd. The addition of Phoebe and Brant significantly expands the Rinascita roster, leaving only Zani as a currently unannounced playable character from that faction.
