Highlights:
* Lanternberry and Sound-Keeping Tacet Cores are the supposed key Wuthering Waves Zhezhi materials for Ascension.
* According to leaks, Zhezhi will be a sub-DPS with decent Support abilities.
Zhezhi is a rumored Glacio Element character slated to debut in a Wuthering Waves 1.2 Featured Resonator Convene. Not appearing in any of the current quests, her first visual was shared by Kuro Games during the drip marketing. The shy commissioned painter is believed to be a Rectifier according to her gameplay leaks while her kit labels her as a sub-DPS and a Support.
As they did for previous Resonators, players can begin grinding for Wuthering Waves Zhezhi materials. They must also purchase or acquire a minimum of 80 Radiant Tides for Zhezhi’s banner. After the 80th pull, there is a 50% chance that the 5-star Resonator shall be the featured one, provided that players haven’t already obtained it.
Wuthering Waves Zhezhi Materials For Each Ascension Level
Given that Zhezhi will be a Glacio Resonator, she will require Lanternberry to level up unless a new Ascension item is introduced in Wuthering Waves 1.2. The other upgrade materials such as LF Howler Core, MF Howler Core, HF Howler Core, and FF Howler Core can be obtained from enemies, capturing Echoes, Forgery Challenges, and event shop. Synthesizer can be used to upgrade Howler Cores.
Sound-Keeping Tacet Core is a Resonator breakthrough item that can be obtained after defeating Lampylumen Myriad. To farm the material for Wuthering Waves Zhezhi, head to the Tiger’s Maw Mine and drop down to the bottom of the mine. The boss resides deep inside an icy cave.

Wuthering Waves Zhezhi Forte Skill Upgrade Materials
Ascension improves a Resonator’s overall attributes but doesn’t specifically cater to their damage output. Thus, players must upgrade Zhezhi’s Forte skill trees. Moving up the skill tree means requiring rarer materials. The complete list of Forte materials for Wuthering Waves Zhezhi can be found below:-
- 25 LF Howler Core
- 28 MF Howler Core
- 40 HF Howler Core
- 57 FF Howler Core
- 25 Lento Helix
- 28 Adagio Helix
- 55 Andante Helix
- 67 Presto Helix
- 26 Monument Bell
- 20,300,000 Shell Credits
Helix items in Wuthering Waves can be obtained in Forgery Challenges. Speaking of Monument Bells, the Forte skill item can be acquired after defeating the Weekly boss Bell-Borne Geochelone. It is a giant turtle that does immense damage but is rather slow, so go on a frenzy with your favorite DPS Resonator.
The other new 5-star rarity Resonator in Wuthering Waves 1.2 release will be Xiangli Yao. Rumored to be an Electro Resonator, Yao could be available for free in an event after the next update.
