The hype is real, folks! Wuthering Waves version 2.1 has dropped with Rinascita's fan-favorite duo—Phoebe and Brant—stealing the spotlight. Both 5-star legends aren't just NPCs; they're central to the region's explosive storyline, making players sweat over who deserves those hard-earned Astrite. With Phoebe rewriting combat rules and Brant bringing theatrical flair, the gacha dilemma hits harder than a Resonator ult. Let's break down why you might wanna swipe right on one (or both!) of these icons. 😤✨
Why Pull for Phoebe?
Meet Phoebe—the 5-star Spectro DPS who’s flipping the meta on its head! She’s rocking Spectro Frazzle, a slick DoT (damage-over-time) mechanic that’s like watching a slow-mo fireworks show. Forget one-shot nukes; she melts enemies steadily while shredding Spectro RES like a cheese grater. Oh, and her crowd control? Chef’s kiss! 👌
But here’s the tea: Is she outshining Jinhsi? Not exactly—yet. Phoebe’s personal damage slaps, but she’s low-key lonely. Current supports don’t buff Spectro Frazzle, so she’s playing solo. Hold up though—future updates could turn her into an S-tier monster! Plus, she’s a wave-clearing queen. If Jinhsi’s your nuker, Phoebe’s your endurance champ. Dynamic duo, anyone?
-
🔥 Unique Playstyle: First-ever DoT specialist (hello, Honkai vibes!).
-
🌪️ Crowd Control Pro: Groups enemies like a magnet.
-
⏳ Future-Proof: New supports = bigger numbers!
Why Pull for Brant?
Say hello to Brant—the 5-star Fusion Sword user who fights like he’s headlining a Broadway show! 💃 This pirate captain’s all about airborne combos and flashy theatrics. His kit’s still under wraps (devs love suspense!), but leaks hint at high-speed flurries and an ult that drops a literal anchor. Smash damage + knockbacks? Yaaas!
He’s not just DPS eye candy though. Word on the street is Brant might buff teammates—making him a potential sub-DPS/support hybrid. Talk about multitasking! While Phoebe’s the strategist, Brant’s the wildcard. Fun factor? Off the charts. Past WuWa characters nailed gameplay, so expect Brant to bring that \u0027wow\u0027 factor.
Quick Brant Highlights:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Playstyle | Airborne sword dances 🪂 |
| Team Role | Sub-DPS + possible support buffs |
| Ultimate | Anchor summon (AOE chaos!) |

Pull for Characters You Like ❤️
Let’s keep it 100: Meta-chasing is a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for. Phoebe’s future-proof? Killer. Brant’s fun? Absolutely. But forcing pulls for \u0027top tier\u0027 burns Astrite faster than a Fusion overload. F2P players especially—y’all get limited resources per patch. Why sweat tier lists when you could be vibing? 🎧
