The highly anticipated Wuthering Waves 2.7 update has arrived, bringing explosive new content that pushes the story to its climactic conclusion. With two powerful new Resonators, game-changing quality-of-life improvements, and a gripping finale to the Rinascita arc, this patch delivers something for everyone.
Let’s dive into what makes this update unmissable for both veterans and newcomers alike.
Wuthering Waves Meet the New Resonators
Character Overview
| Resonator | Element/Weapon | Rarity | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galbrena | Fusion/Pistols | 5-Star | Main DPS, Heavy Attack DMG |
| Qiuyuan | Aero/Sword | 5-Star | Concerto Efficiency, Heavy Attack DMG |
Galbrena, the “Discord Slayer,” brings devastating Fusion damage with her dual pistols. Cold and relentless, she’s designed for players who love aggressive playstyles focused on heavy attack damage output.
Qiuyuan, a blind swordsman from Huanglong’s Internal Security Agency, wields Aero element with surgical precision. His tragic backstory—framed for murder and wandering alone—adds emotional depth to his excellent concerto efficiency mechanics.
Both characters receive signature 5-star weapons: Lux & Umbra (Pistols) for Galbrena and Emerald Sentence (Sword) for Qiuyuan, perfectly complementing their kits.
Story Content That Matters
The 2.7 update concludes the Rinascita saga with two major story quests:
Chapter II Act X: The Bygone Shall Always Return explores the nightmare plaguing Ragunna’s citizens while revealing shocking truths about the Discord Slayer and the Blessed Maiden.
Chapter II Act XI: Dawn Breaks on Dark Tides delivers the prophesied finale as players confront an ancient Divinity threatening Rinascita’s existence. Expect an epic showdown gathering every hope and ally you’ve made along the journey.
A bonus afterstory quest, “A Stranger in a Strange Land,” unlocks October 30th and explores Qiuyuan’s mysterious past.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to complete previous story chapters to access the new Resonators?
No, Galbrena and Qiuyuan are available through Convene banners regardless of story progress. However, you’ll need materials from the Threnodian Leviathan boss to ascend them, which requires completing certain story prerequisites. Their trial versions are accessible in events for testing before pulling.
Q: What’s the best Sonata Effect for Galbrena in Wuthering Waves 2.7?
The new Flamewing’s Shadow set is tailored specifically for Galbrena’s kit. The 3-piece bonus increases Heavy Attack and Echo Skill critical rates by 20% each, plus grants 16% Fusion DMG Bonus when both effects are active—perfectly matching her Heavy Attack DPS role and Fusion element.
