Highlights:
* Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao’s signature weapons were officially revealed in the latest Version Preview shared by Kuro Games.
* The Zhezhi signature weapon can also be equipped on Rectifier Resonators like Baizhi to increase the latter’s damage output.
Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi are the two upcoming 5-star rarity Resonators in Wuthering Waves Version 1.2. Following the update, Zhezhi can be pulled from the Featured Resonator Convene in the first phase. Xiangli Yao will be in the reward pool for the Moon Chasing Festival event during the second phase of Wuthering Waves 1.2.
The ‘Version 1.2 Preview’ shared by Kuro Games on the official website officially disclosed the Element possessed by the upcoming Resonators. Moreover, two new weapons are featured in the preview, which are going to be the signature weapons of Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao.
Wuthering Waves Zhezhi Signature Weapon (Official Stats)
Zhezhi’s signature weapon in Wuthering Waves is the Rime-Draped Sprouts. The 5-star Rectifier’s design has the same flowers that Zhezhi holds in the official visuals.
Wuthering Waves 1.2 leaks about Zhezhi’s abilities suggest she can improve her Basic ATK after Resonance Skill. As such, her signature weapon boosts the same. The Rime-Draped Sprouts Rectifier increases her Attack by 500 and Critical Damage by 72%. Its Weapon Skill, Panorama, gives bonus damage to the Resonator.
Synchronization Rank | Base ATK Increase | Basic ATK DMG Bonus (after Resonance Skill) |
1 | 12% | 12% |
2 | 15% | 15% |
3 | 18% | 18% |
4 | 21% | 21% |
5 | 24% | 24% |
The Basic Attack DMG Bonus lasts six seconds and can stack up to 3 times. Moreover, when using the Outro Skill after all three stacks are present, Zhezhi consumes each stack to give a DMG Bonus (52%-104%) to the off-field Basic Attacks performed by the Resonator. The effect lasts 27 seconds.
Kuro Games’ preview for Version 1.2 also revealed that Zhezhi will get her own Companion Story titled ‘True Colors’ in Wuthering Waves. The quest will focus on the painter’s past, how she was caught up in controversy and lost the courage to pursue her ambition.
Wuthering Waves Xiangli Yao Signature Weapon (Leaked Stats)
Xiangli Yao’s signature weapon in Wuthering Waves is the Verity’s Handle Gauntlets. A 5-star rarity weapon, the Verity’s Handle is rumored to increase the Resonator’s Critical Damage. Moreover, leaks mention that it has a strong weapon passive that increases all attribute damage bonuses by at least 12%.
Given the beta information about the Electro Resonator’s weapon, players must target the Resonance Liberation during their Forte upgrades. Verity’s Handle is said to increase the damage bonus of RLB up to a maximum of 98%, lasting for eight seconds.
To acquire Zhezhi and her signature weapon, players will need Radiant Tides and Forging Tides, respectively. They are guaranteed to get her Rectifier weapon after making 80 pulls.
