Wuthering Waves 3.5 New Characters

Yangyang SP (Havoc, Sword)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Havoc | Weapon: Sword

"The wind once guided me—now, I guide the wind that whispers through shadows." — Yangyang

The moment the community has been waiting for has finally arrived: Yangyang is receiving her long-rumored alternate form! After months of speculation following her cryptic appearances in Rinascita's main story quests, Yangyang SP (often referred to by the community as "Havoc Yangyang" or "Yangyang Alter") is set to debut in 3.5.

According to leaked kit descriptions circulating on forums, Yangyang SP abandons her supportive Aero abilities for an aggressive, high-risk-high-reward Havoc playstyle. Early indications suggest she functions as a main DPS, utilizing a unique mechanic called "Shadowwind Stacking"—building up stacks through perfect dodges and skill usage to unleash devastating enhanced attacks.

HoyoMeta and other leak sources suggest her gameplay revolves around a "berserker" style: the lower her HP, the higher her damage output. This marks a significant departure from her original supportive role and has generated massive hype within the community.

Suisui (Glacio, Rectifier)

❓

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Glacio | Weapon: Rectifier

"Big sister said I should make friends... but the ice doesn't bite, does it?" — Suisui

Adding to the excitement, Version 3.5 introduces Suisui—a brand-new Glacio Rectifier user with deep narrative ties to Yangyang. Community discussions on the Wuthering Waves subreddit have highlighted Suisui as Yangyang's younger sister, finally making her playable debut after being mentioned in character stories and lore entries.

Suisui's playstyle is expected to revolve around persistent freezing and team utility. Leaks describe her as a sub-DPS/support hybrid, capable of maintaining near-permanent freeze uptime on enemies while buffing her team's Glacio damage. Her kit reportedly includes a unique "Frostzone" mechanic—leaving patches of ice on the battlefield that slow enemies and amplify incoming damage.

Given the current endgame meta favoring freeze compositions and Havoc synergy, Suisui is shaping up to be a must-pull for players running Glacio main DPS characters.

 

Story and Future Outlook

Version 3.5's narrative is expected to delve deeper into Yangyang's backstory—specifically, her connection to the frigid northern regions and the mysterious circumstances that led to her mastering Havoc abilities. According to lore discussions on Game8 and fan forums, the upcoming patch will explore the sisters' past, revealing why Suisui remained hidden and what events transformed Yangyang into the Harbinger of Shadowwind.

Interestingly, Kuro Games' voice director recently tweeted about recording "the most heartbreaking sisterly reunion scene yet," with timestamps aligning perfectly with 3.5's production cycle. This has fueled speculation that 3.5 won't just be about power—it'll be about emotion.

Looking ahead, Version 3.6 is rumored to introduce a new male resonator tied to the northern regions, alongside potential QoL updates to the Echo system. And with the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collab landing in 3.4, 3.5 will mark the return to original narrative territory—something the community is eager to embrace.

 

Community Reactions and Speculation

Forum discussions across Reddit, and HoYoLAB have been buzzing since the 3.5 leaks surfaced. Key points of discussion include:

• Yangyang SP's design: Early concept art shows her with darkened attire and ethereal shadow effects—a stark contrast to her original teal-and-white aesthetic.
• Suisui's personality: Described as shy and introverted, fans are already preparing for "protective big sibling" vibes.
• Rerun predictions: Many speculate that Jinhsi or Changli will fill the remaining slots, given their popularity and absence from recent banners.

Pro tip: With two new 5-stars confirmed, now's the time to start saving your Asterites. Phase I brings the edge of shadow; Phase II brings the chill of winter. Choose wisely, Rovers!

 

Conclusion

Version 3.5 of Wuthering Waves is shaping up to be one of the most impactful updates of the year. With Yangyang SP finally shedding her support role to embrace the darkness, and Suisui joining the fight with Glacio supremacy, team compositions are about to get a whole lot more interesting.
