The Wuthering Waves 2.6 banner will feature two new 5-star Resonators, along with three rerun characters. Yes, there will be 5 limited-time banners in the update, with Augusta debuting in Phase 1. Her kit contains powerful Heavy Attacks and AoE electro damage, which makes her a perfect fit for the DPS role.

The high priestess Iuno will also take the center stage as a new 5-star unit. She has been confirmed to arrive in the update’s second phase. Iuno can seamlessly switch between two stances to access different abilities. She is both an agile ranged fighter and a healer.

The update will also add new 4-star weapons to the battle pass under each archetype. You can obtain them from the premium tier only after reaching level 30. Here are all the new battle pass weapons in version 2.6:

• Feather Edge (Sword)
• Aureate Zenith (Broadblade)
• Solar Flame (Pistol)
• Aether Strike (Gauntlet)
• Radiant Dawn (Rectifier)

Remember that these weapons will offer slightly better attributes compared to other 4-star picks in the game. In fact, all of them roll with either a CRIT Rate or a CRIT DMG substat.
