Wuthering Waves 1.3: release date, characters, story, and more

Wuthering Waves 1.3: story and characters

Rover is finally meeting up with the mysterious Black Shores, an independent organization that appears to be connected to their past somehow and can hopefully shed some light on who and what the protagonist actually is.

Chapter 1 Act 8 of the Main Quest as well as the Encore Companion Quest “Small Wooly, Big Adventures” will be available in the upcoming patch.

Version 1.3 will introduce two playable characters to Wuthering Waves: Youhu is an appraiser of antiques and a veteran traveler, often being out and about on the search for treasure. She’s got a silver tongue as well, having trained her debate and negotiation skills to deal with shady antique merchants with ease. She’s a 4-Star Glacio Resonator.

The Shorekeeper is the version’s 5-Star Resonator dealing Spectro Damage and is deeply connected to the Black Shores, though details will be revealed during the upcoming story arc. In terms of gameplay, she looks like a support character with some healing abilities – finally someone to help out Verina. The character also comes with a useful exploration mechanic, allowing her to transform into a small butterfly to float over the map while collecting plants.

Wuthering Waves 1.3: areas, weapons, and features

The Black Shores are located on an isolated island, which carries the same name. We’ll get to explore this area in the upcoming patch, discovering its strange flora as well as the advanced base of the organization. The other new area in Wuthering Waves 1.3, Tethys’ Deep, seems to be connected to the Black Shores as well.

Version 1.3 will introduce a new 5-Star rectifier called Stellar Symphony, which is Shorekeeper’s signature weapon. In addition, a new series of 4-Star weapons – Deep Sky Blazar – with sword, rectifier, broadblade, pistols, and gauntlets will come to the game.

Furthermore, the update has some new Echoes you can fight and equip and store: Fallacy of No Return (a new boss battle), Phantom: Gulpuff, and Phantom: Lumiscale Construct.

Exploration will be enhanced with the introduction of the new portal mechanism – which, yes, is basically the feature from Valve’s Portal series.
