Wuthering Waves has officially unveiled Phrolova's weapon and attribute, teasing her first banner for Version 2.5. Several characters are expected for release during Wuthering Waves' 2.0 cycle, though it seems the next patch will only feature one debut.

Since its launch in May 2024, Wuthering Waves has released a total of 35 playable units, with the latest being Cartethyia. After her true identity was revealed in the Rinascita storyline, Cartethyia became one of the most anticipated Resonators in the game. She hasn't disappointed fans either, as she quickly became a top-tier unit in Wuthering Waves. However, Kuro Games recently confirmed that another highly popular character will soon make her long-awaited debut.

Building Cartethyia on Crit and HP is essential to get the most out of her kit in Wuthering Waves.

Through a series of posts on its official Twitter account, Wuthering Waves has shared official drip-marketing images of Phrolova, confirming her debut for Version 2.5. Kuro Games also revealed that Phrolova will be a 5-Star Rectifier unit with a Havoc attribute. Her illustration shows Phrolova without her eye bandages for the first time, revealing her heterochromia and blood tears. She is also seen holding her iconic Lycoris, which she uses to summon and control Tacet Discords. Finally, Phrolova's description states that her music "bridges the gap between life and death." She is the first of six upcoming Wuthering Waves characters planned for Version 2.5 and onward.

Wuthering Waves Officially Reveals Phrolova for Version 2.5

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Weapon: Rectifier
  • Attribute: Havoc

Despite being introduced as a main antagonist, Phrolova has been a fan-favorite character since Wuthering Waves' early days. Like Scar, she is an Overseer of the Fractsidus, an organization that aims to provoke the next Lament. Players first encountered Phrolova in Huanglong, where she caused a Tacet Discord outbreak on her own. She later reappears in Rinascita and conspires with Cristoforo, but Rover manages to defeat her summon, Hecate. However, her mission in this nation isn't over, and a recent Wuthering Waves story trailer suggested that players will learn more about her troubled past in later patches. Fans can expect Kuro Games to share more details about her kit in the coming weeks. Whether Phrolova can become one of the strongest characters in Wuthering Waves remains to be seen.

While many Wuthering Waves fans reacted positively to Phrolova's drip marketing, some pointed out how no other new unit was unveiled for Version 2.5. This would mean that Phrolova won't debut alongside any other 5-Star or 4-Star. While fans wait for Phrolova, they can still pull for Cartethyia on Wuthering Waves' current banners before she leaves on July 3.
