Wuthering Waves Unveils Phoebe and Brant as Next 5-Star Rinascita Characters

The highly anticipated mobile RPG, Wuthering Waves, has officially announced Phoebe and Brant as the next 5-star Rinascita characters joining the playable roster in Version 2.1. This follows the recent 2.0 update which introduced Carlotta and Roccia. Further character additions, including Zani, are expected in future updates.

Phoebe and Brant: A Closer Look

While their specific weapon types and elements remain unconfirmed, in-game lore suggests Phoebe will be a Spectro unit, aligning with her role as a devout Acolyte of the Order of the Deep within Rinascita. Brant, captain of the Fool's Troupe (a traveling Carnevale show), is speculated to be a sword wielder, hinting at a more combat-oriented role. Both characters are expected to be pivotal in upcoming storylines.

Version 2.1 and Beyond

Phoebe is anticipated to debut in Phase 1 of Version 2.1, with Brant following in Phase 2. The addition of these characters leaves only Zani, previously teased in promotional material, as the remaining unannounced Rinascita character. Further character reveals are expected throughout Wuthering Waves' ongoing 2.0 cycle. The 2.0 update itself, concluding around mid-February, also introduced a premium skin for Jinhsi and a free Sanhua skin obtainable via an upcoming event (starting January 23rd).

Key Takeaways:

  • Phoebe and Brant are confirmed as 5-star Rinascita characters for Version 2.1.
  • Phoebe is likely a Spectro unit; Brant is possibly a sword wielder.
  • Both characters will play significant roles in the future of Wuthering Waves.
  • More characters, including Zani, are anticipated.

This exciting news keeps the momentum going for Wuthering Waves, ensuring players have plenty to look forward to in the coming months.
