Brand New Resonators & Weapons

With the release of Wuthering Waves version update 2nd Anniversary, players will be able to meet 2 Brand New 5-Star Resonators: the 5-Star Glacio Resonator Hiyuki and the 5-star Fusion Resonator Denia.

Hiyuki is an upcoming 5-star Resonator of the Cryo Element and wields a Sword as her main weapon. She serves as the brand new Main DPS character for the Cryo element whose skill kit revolves around dealing massive amounts of Basic Attacks to enemies and inflicting Glacio Bite onto the enemies, dealing more damage to enemies with Glacio Bite.

Hiyuki’s skill kit revolves around players accumulating as much Forte Gauge energy as possible using her Basic Attacks while dealing Cryo damage to enemies. Then upon accumulating enough Forte Gauge, Hiyuki’s Resonance Liberation is available, allowing her to enter a special enhanced mode and dealing more damage to enemies. Hiyuki’s skill kit also allows her to inflict Glacio Bite and allow her to consume Glacio Bite in order to deal more damage against enemies and inflict the Frostbite debuff on enemies.

When using Hiyuki’s Basic Attacks, players will be able to accumulate Dedication Forte Gauge stacks and gain more damage bonus the more Gauge she has. Once her Dedication Gauge is full, her Heavy Attack will be massively enhanced and her Resonance Liberation will become available for players to use. Once used, Hiyuki will enter a special Enhanced Mode that allows her to massively enhance the damage output of all of her skills and abilities.

Denia is an upcoming 5-star Resonator of the Fusion Element and wields a rectifier as her main weapon type. Denia serves as the last missing piece for the Fusion Burst Team and also has the ability to enable the Tune Strain teams thanks to her ability to switch between 2 different modes similar to Lynae.

Based on her skill kit and her ability to switch between 2 different forms, Denia is a sub DPS and Enabler Support Resonator for both the Tune Strain and Fusion Burst teams, filling a similar role to Lynae as she can also change between 2 different forms before the start of a fight to help facilitate 2 different teams.

When in combat, Denia has 2 different forms that she can switch between with different effects: Stagecraft Form and Breakdown Form. In Stagecraft Form, Denia can accumulate her Forte Gauge by attacking enemies and can enhance her Resonance skill when her Forte Gauge is filled. Upon using her Resonance Skill, Denia can enter Breakdown Form and consume her Forte Gauge energy in order to deal massive amounts of damage to enemies. When in this state, Denia gains Dark Cores over time, which help unlock her Enhanced Resonance Skills.

Alongside the brand new Resonators, their signature weapons will also be introduced into the game as well. So take advantage of enjoygm’s amazing discounted Wuthering Waves Top Up Deals and prepare some funds in advance today!
