All Wuthering Waves characters

Each character in Wuthering Waves wields one of six elements - aero, glacio, electro, fusion, havoc, or spectro - and has one of five weapon types. These are swords, broadblades, pistols, gauntlets, and rectifiers, which are magical conduit items.

Here are all the playable Wuthering Waves characters:

How do I get more Wuthering Waves characters?

Characters are attainable through a gacha system on the banners. Similar to other titles, like the Genshin Impact banners, there are a limited and a standard banner where you can aim to get different characters. You're guaranteed a five-star character at 80 pulls (or less).

When you begin the game, you get Rover, Yangyang, and Chixia as free units, with a Yuanwu attainable through the Tower of Adversity. On the beginner banner, you get a five-star within 50 wishes and then can plot a course for a standard five-star of your course on a separate banner, guaranteed in 80 pulls with no risk of losing a 50/50.

The standard pool of characters includes Jianxin, Calcharo, Encore, Lingyang, and Verina as five-star characters, whereas the other five-star characters appear on the limited banners.

That's it for our character guide, we also recommend you check out our best mobile games list and grab these Blox Fruits codes and Anime Defenders codes, too.

You can usually find Holly roaming through Teyvat or Hyrule. She's big on Nintendo, Hoyoverse, and indie games. Animal Crossing is her ride-or-die. She plays too many farming games. She got started doing freelance lists for GameRant and Roblox pages for VG247, and producing Genshin Impact builds for Gfinity. Her biggest achievement to date is getting her Pikmin 4 score on adverts across the UK. She can, and will, lay some hot takes out if you let her but sticks to correct opinions like arguing what the best wireless chargers and stylus phones are, and which gacha game is the best (it’s Genshin. Or Wuthering Waves. Or Honkai Star Rail). She also owns a really cute lizard.
