Update Wuthering Waves 1.2 is an intermediate version, aimed more at optimizing the game. The patch planned for late summer will include a separate event, new character banners, a roguelike update, and even one free five-star resonator.
In this article we will tell you about all the innovations of the August update and share rumors about the content. We will indicate the release date of patch 1.2 in VUV and a list of heroes, both limited legendary ones and four-star ones with an increased drop rate.
Wuthering Waves 1.2 release date
Patch 1.2 will be released 15 August 2024 year and will last until September 25. An official developer broadcast has not been announced, so it is unlikely that it will take place. There will be no stream for the European region, as well as astrites.
What will be the banners
Among banners Only new five-star characters will appear in the updates, so the return of old ones in reruns will not happen. Along with them, the probability of dropping some epic resonators will increase.
The first phase
Deadlines: from August 15 to September 5, 2024.
A new 5⭐ heroine will be released in the first half of the update Zhezhi [Zhezhi] (Glacio, rectifier), which will increase the probability of knocking out three 4⭐ resonators:
- Sanhua [Sanhua] (Glacio, sword).
- Baizhi [Baizhi] (Glacio, rectifier).
- Chisya [Chixia] (Fusion, pistols).
Simultaneously with the Zhezhi banner, there will be an opportunity to summon her signature.
The second phase
Deadlines: from 5 to 25 September 2024.
The second phase of the version will be presented by a new 5⭐ male hero Xiangli Yao [Xiangli Yao] (Electro, gloves), which can also be obtained for free in the main event of the patch. His banner will increase the chance for the following 4⭐ characters:
- Aalto [Aalto] (Aero, pistols).
- Yanwu [Yuanwu] (Electric, gloves).
- Danjin [Danjin] (Havok, sword).
Along with Xiangli Yao, a separate weapon banner will appear with his signature weapon.
Free Lega
WuWa Update 1.2 includes a festival event featuring Xiangli Yao, which means you can pick him up for free if you reach 6 popularity points in the Moonchasing event.
New locations
There are no global new locations planned for the patch, but due to the new season of the ongoing roguelike, updated territories will appear in it. The mode will be designed in the format of closed rooms with a laboratory theme.
It is likely that the quests of companions Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi will partially take place in new areas. Most of them are similarly designed in a scientific style.
New weapon
Among the new weapons, only two five-star signatures of the patch characters are expected to be released.
- Gloves Xiangli Yao ively increases all damage and, when activating the release of resonance, increases the damage from it for a while. Using the skill continues the duration of this effect.
- Rectifier Zhezhi ively increases attack power, and with the use of the resonance skill increases it even more. When certain stacks accumulate, they fall off, and the basic attack increases.
New quests
Among the new quests, the update will add companion quests for Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi. There is no information about other missions.
New Echoes
Due to the lack of new territories, no varieties of Echoes are planned for the update. They will add only one skin per Dreamless [Dreamless], which can either be dropped with a low chance when killing a boss, or given out in the store of any activity (which is more likely).
New events
As part of the version there will be a key event with the festival "Chasing the Moon" and cooperative mode in the style of "Tower defense". In roguelike activity "Depths of Illusive Realm" will add the ability to choose heroes such as Danjin, Yanwu, Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi, as well as Dreamless as Echo.
Game improvements
Among the functional innovations of update 1.2, it is worth noting the following:
- New type of wave plates [Waveplates] when the maximum available storage limit of a regular resource is exceeded, 1 unit will begin to be added every 12 minutes (that is, 2 times longer). It will be able to be converted into base plates 1 to 1 and will accumulate without restrictions.
- In settings from computers you will be able to select 120 FPS.
- will take place optimization games on mobile devices.
- They will add something tracking several opponents, which most likely concerns the same farming of Echo.
- There will be a new tool for exploring the world associated with firing.
- The main screen will begin to display buffs characters.
- Control settings will be available when playing with gamepad.
