3.5 Changes and Additions
Highlighted among the latest Version 3.5 updates are the debut of Yangyang: Xuanling and Suisui, introducing new combat mechanics, expanding the Havoc Bane team system, and bringing fresh possibilities to team building. Alongside the new Resonators, Version 3.5 also introduces new story content, weapons, events, and gameplay improvements.
Yangyang: Xuanling
• Yangyang: Xuanling is the flagship 5-star Havoc Sword Resonator of Version 3.5 and a powerful Main DPS specializing in Heavy Attack-based combat. Her kit revolves around the Havoc Bane mechanic, allowing her to accumulate special effects and unleash devastating burst damage through enhanced attacks.
• With a fast-paced and technical playstyle, Xuanling rewards players who master her rotation and timing. Her ability to combine mobility, stance transitions, and explosive Heavy Attacks makes her one of the strongest Havoc damage dealers introduced in Version 3.5.
• Her performance reaches its peak when paired with dedicated Havoc Bane teammates such as Suisui and other supportive Resonators. Players looking to build a high-damage Havoc team will find Xuanling to be one of the most valuable DPS choices in this update.
Suisui
• Suisui is a 5-star Glacio Rectifier Resonator introduced in Version 3.5, specializing in team support, healing, and damage amplification. Her kit focuses on enhancing teammates rather than dealing direct field damage, making her a valuable addition to multiple team compositions.
• Her greatest strength comes from her synergy with Havoc Bane teams. By providing buffs and improving team consistency, Suisui allows characters like Yangyang: Xuanling to maximize their damage potential during their burst windows.
• Unlike universal supports such as Shorekeeper, Suisui is more specialized but offers exceptional value in her preferred teams. Players building Havoc-focused lineups will greatly benefit from adding her to their roster.
Rover：Electro
• Version 3.5 introduces a new Electro form for Rover, expanding the protagonist’s combat options with a new elemental path.
• The new form provides players with additional team-building flexibility and allows Rover to participate in more combat scenarios.

Conclusion
That's all for our latest best character tier list. Tier lists are guides, not rules—skilled players can crush content with lower-tier units through sharp game sense, but higher tiers make optimizing and clearing content way smoother.
Wuthering Waves shines with skill-based combat: even top characters need tight rotations, timing, and synergy. The 3.5 update brings three exciting newcomers in Lucy, Rebecca, and Lucilla — marking Wuthering Waves' first-ever crossover collaboration with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Their unique kit mechanics introduce a brand-new Hack-Shifting system to the meta, while Lucilla further strengthens Glacio team-building options for all Rovers.

Dependable, steady choices. These characters do well in most situations, though they might struggle in certain specific scenarios or need more investment to truly excel. |
|

People rarely use it unless they don’t have other characters on hand. |
Tags Explanation
|
DPS |
DPS is the cornerstone of your offensive strategy, dealing heavy damage consistently throughout a battle. These characters usually boast powerful attacks and abilities that prioritize offensive stats such as ATK, Crit DMG, and Crit Rate. The entire team is built around creating favorable conditions and supporting the Main DPS to help them unleash their maximum damage potential. |
|
Sub DPS |
Sub-DPS characters complement the Main DPS by dishing out substantial damage while offering additional benefits to the team. They often have potent burst attacks that deal massive damage in a short span. Some Sub-DPS units also bring utility to the table, like applying buffs to enhance the team’s performance. |
|
Support |
Support characters focus on aiding the entire team rather than dealing high damage. They ensure the team stays alive and performs at its best by providing healing, shields, or buffs that boost attack power or defense. |
