1.2 Banners
As their drip marketing has now started on social media, it is almost confirmed that Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao are the 1.2 banners of Wuthering Waves. According to leaker Uncle Birdie Window (relayed by hxg_diluc on X), Zhezhi is a Glacio support, and Xiangli Yao is an Electro DPS who uses gauntlets.
In the same leak, it is claimed that Xiangli Yao will also be offered as a free reward!
We don’t know yet who the 4-star characters are on Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao’s banners, but we will update this page when official information becomes available.
Estimated release date of version 1.2
Since version 1.1 was moved up a week, we don’t really know if version 1.2 will be released on August 9 or 16However, we will know when the 1.1 Phase 2 banners will activate on Monday, July 22, as the banner countdown will tell us how much time they have left.
Please keep in mind that due to time zone differences, version 1.2 will likely be released on August 8 or 15 in North America
I hope you enjoy version 1.2 when it is released!
