Introduction [0:00]
The video introduces the Weathering Waves version 3.1 update, emphasizing its significance as a potential turning point for the game. This update brings new combat mechanics, tighter lore threads, and character banners designed to challenge players' resource management. The content is based on leaks and early information, presented as informed speculation.
Lore Implications [0:44]
The update includes a lore bomb that changes the perception of a highly anticipated character. Specifically, information from version 2.8 indicates that there are no sentinels in La Hai Roy, which impacts the understanding and expectations surrounding the character Ei.
Phase 1 Banners [1:15]
Phase 1 banners, expected to launch on February 6th, heavily emphasize the new combat focus with Ei as the headliner. Ei is a fusion sword main DPS character whose core mechanic involves building fusion burst stacks up to 10, which then detonate into a massive fusion explosion. Chisa, a Havoc broadblade support, is also featured, providing a mix of enemy grouping, defense shredding, healing, shielding, and negative status effects. Fusion Rover is also part of this phase.
Fusion Rover [2:36]
Fusion Rover deserves more attention, as Wuwa maintains the main character's strength, unlike many other games. The Fusion Rover's gameplay involves stacking up to 10 fusion charges, which then explode into fusion damage, scaling with the number of stacks built. This design rewards strategic planning.
Phase 2 Banners [3:24]
Phase 2 takes a different direction while adhering to the same combat core. Luke Hursen, a spectro gauntlet DPS, focuses on basic attack damage and utilizes tune rupture and strain mechanics. Galbrina, another fusion DPS with pistols, builds sinflame and after flame to transform into a demon hypostasis state. Chuen, a sword-wielding aos element DPS/support hybrid, offers fast attacks, strong echo skill synergy, and team buffs, particularly crit damage.
Rover's New Skin and Combat Commitment [4:30]
The Rover receives a school uniform skin themed around Stard Academy, despite being enrolled since version 3.0. The repeated emphasis on tune rupture and tune strain responses indicates a commitment to these mechanics as the new combat language of Wuwa.
Conclusion [5:02]
Version 3.1 is presented as a stacked update with deepening lore, evolving mechanics, and banners designed to challenge players' resources. Ei is highlighted as a must-pull character, while Phase 2 includes potentially valuable characters.
