Wuthering Waves 1.2 Banner Characters Revealed via Drip Marketing
The developers of Wuthering Waves have finally unveiled the upcoming characters in their recent 1.2 drip marketing campaign. According to the official announcements, Zhezhi is a commissioned painter, and Xiangli Yao is associated with the Huaxu Academy.
Zhezhi
The first upcoming Resonator confirmed is Zhezhi. She wears round glasses that subtly conceal her eyes, which emit soft pink and blue glows. Her dark brown hair is highlighted with beautiful pink and blue streaks. Some speculate that Zhezhi will be a Havoc element Resonator due to the pink hue.
According to her drip marketing profile, Zhezhi is a commissioned painter who is very dedicated to her craft. Despite being introverted, she doesn’t hesitate to approach someone she wants to paint. Her shyness and quiet nature might make her socially reserved, but her persistence and love for painting speak volumes about her character.
Xiangli Yao
Xiangli Yao is another 5-star Resonator who will debut alongside Zhezhi, according to the recent drip marketing. He has light brown to white hair and is designed with modern, robotic attire. He first appeared at the Huaxu Academy in Jinzhou next to Mortefi during one of the early quests.
Official announcements have confirmed that Xiangli Yao is a young man who works as the Principal Investigator for the Huaxu Academy. He has shown exceptional expertise in various research fields, embraces original ideas, and is committed to research in Automatic Mechanics. Even before his official announcement, Xiangli Yao had already attracted the attention of players due to his incredible design, featuring a robotic arm.
Since the developers revealed Zhezhi first, she is likely to be released in the first phase of Wuthering Waves 1.2 banner. Meanwhile, Xiangli Yao was revealed second, so he is expected to be released in the second phase.

Here’s a detailed look at the rumored additions and other anticipated features of Wuthering Waves 1.2 Banners.
Wuthering Waves 1.2 Banner Characters
New special effects have been added to the game, which may highlight the future playable Resonators in 1.2 Convenes, according to Reddit user CTheng (via Donut), who announced that the Wuthering Waves 1.1 pre-downloads were now available.
According to the leaks, Kuro Games is anticipated to release Wuthering Waves 1.2 with the addition of two new Resonators, Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi. They are fairly reliable, as the leaker previously provided correct details about the new Mt. Firmament map and the Data Bank level change in version 1.1.
Wuthering Waves Xiangli Yao
Xiangli Yao is rumored to be the Chief Researcher at the Huaxu Academy in Jinzhou. His name has already surfaced a few times in the game, though his appearance has not been officially confirmed by the developers.
Leaks suggest that Xiangli Yao could be the character seen next to Mortefi in the official release trailer. And it is speculated that Xiangli Yao uses a pistol and incorporates his prosthetic hand in his attacks. However, details about his rarity and attributes remain undisclosed.
Wuthering Waves Zhezhi
Official information about Zhezhi is currently unavailable. However, information leaked by @stormywaves_net indicates that this new character may be a female Resonator.
The potential sound effects of Zhezhi's attacks, such as her Basic attacks, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Liberation, were also posted by u/KarlSQuent on Reddit. The sounds of gunshots and effects similar to ice suggest that Zhezhi might be a pistol user with a Glacio attribute. The attack sounds post-Resonance Liberation are similar to those of Sanhua, a 4-star Resonator, which further supports this speculation.
Wuthering Waves 1.2 Banner Release Date
Currently, WuWa update 1.1 phase 1 is underway with the Jinhsi banner, and Phase 2 will feature the Changli banner. According to the official schedule, Changli's banner will run until August 14, 2024. Therefore, players can expect the first WuWa 1.2 banner to be released around August 15, 2024.
In addition to the anticipated characters, Kuro Games has been teasing another character, Camellya. She appeared in a cutscene with Rover, showcasing a glimpse of her skills. Given her popularity, it's likely that Camellya will have a banner in the upcoming 1.2 Update. There is speculation that she might be a 5-star Havoc Resonator, though no official details have been confirmed.
While the leaks about Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi have stirred excitement within the community, it's important to remember that these details are not yet officially confirmed. Hence, as always, it's best to take this Wuthering Waves 1.2 banner information with a grain of salt.
