Wuthering Waves Resonators Tier List

Rank every Resonator from SS to C tier in Wuthering Waves. Discover who dominates the meta and which characters to prioritize pulling.

Phase 1 (March 19 – April 9, 2026)

Phase 1 spotlights Sigrika, the patch's sole new 5-star Resonator, alongside a rerun of Qiuyuan. The pairing is intentional: Qiuyuan buffs Echo Skill damage, which sits at the core of Sigrika's kit. If you are planning to pull Sigrika, having Qiuyuan on the same team is a strong starting point.

The weapon banner for Phase 1 features two 5-star options:

• Solsworn Ciphers (NEW) – Sigrika's signature Gauntlet
• Emerald Sentence – Qiuyuan's signature weapon on rerun

Phase 2 (April 9 – April 30, 2026)

Phase 2 is an unusually stacked rerun phase, featuring three 5-star Resonators simultaneously:

• Lynae (5★, Spectro, Pistols)
• Zani (5★, Spectro, Gauntlets)
• Phoebe (5★, Spectro, Rectifier)

Each has their own dedicated weapon banner running alongside them: Spectrum Blaster, Blazing Justice, and Luminous Hymn, respectively.

Who Is Sigrika and How Does Her Kit Work?

Sigrika is a 5-star Aero Gauntlet Resonator who fills the Main DPS role. What makes her distinct is that virtually all of her damage output is classified as Echo Skill damage, including her Forte circuit outputs and Liberation. This is a relatively rare damage type in the current roster, and it opens up specific team-building paths.

How Does Sigrika's Rotation Work?

Sigrika's rotation centers on building and spending two types of runes:

• Rune: Trust is generated through Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters.
• Rune: Answer is generated through Resonance Skills while Sigrika is in her Decipher state.

Once you have the right rune combination, triggering an Enhanced Heavy Attack consumes them to deal Aero Echo Skill damage. Different combinations produce different results, including stagnation effects and enemy pull mechanics, giving her a layer of crowd control on top of raw damage.

Sigrika also accumulates Soliskin Vitality whenever any teammate casts an Echo Skill. When you trigger her Enhanced Heavy Attack with sufficient Soliskin Vitality, her multiplier increases and she gains additional damage amplification. This makes her noticeably stronger in teams that cycle Echo Skills frequently.

Sigrika's Signature Weapon: Solsworn Ciphers

The Solsworn Ciphers (5★ Gauntlet) is purpose-built for Sigrika's playstyle:

• Base ATK: 588
• Secondary Stat: Crit. DMG 48.6%
• Weapon Effect: Increases ATK by 12% at R1, scaling to 24% at R5. Casting Intro Skill or Echo Skill grants 32% Echo Skill DMG Amplification for 15 seconds (scaling to 64% at R5). When dealing Echo Skill DMG, Aero DMG ignores 10% of the target's DEF for 6 seconds (scaling to 20% at R5).

The DEF-shred component on Echo Skill hits is particularly valuable since Sigrika's entire kit revolves around that damage type.

Should You Pull Sigrika or Save for Phase 2?

Here is a practical breakdown to help you decide:

Pull Sigrika if:

• You want an Aero Main DPS with crowd control utility.
• You already own or plan to pull Qiuyuan, since their pairing is highly efficient.
• You enjoy rotation-based gameplay that rewards planning rune combinations.

Pull Lynae if:

• You missed her debut in Version 3.1 and want one of the strongest supports in the current 3.x meta.
• You already have Luuk Herssen or Aemeath, since Lynae is one of their best teammates.

Pull Zani or Phoebe if:

• You are filling gaps in Spectro team compositions.
• You have Astrites to spare after deciding on your Phase 1 target.

What Are All the Version 3.2 Events?

Version 3.2 brings seven events in total, covering rhythm gameplay, puzzle mechanics, combat challenges, story content, and daily login rewards.

Soar to the Beat (Rhythm Challenge)

A music-based event with three difficulty tiers per track. You press buttons in time with falling notes. Completing tracks rewards Astrite, Sigil, Premium Tuner, Modifier, and Premium Sealed Tube.

Lahai-Roi Blocks

A puzzle event where you place differently shaped blocks onto a board. Completed rows clear automatically, similar to classic tile-clearing mechanics. Rewards include Astrite, Premium Resonance Potion, Premium Sealed Tube, and Premium Energy Core.

Speed Up! F.U.E.L. Instrumentality Project

A movement-control mini-game where Energy Gel Sachets drop from above and you must reposition your avatar to collect as many as possible within the time limit. Multi-directional drops increase the challenge in later stages. Rewards include Astrite, Lahai-Roi Supply Pack, Lahai-Roi Enclosure Tank, and Advanced Resonance Potion.

Knights of the Wild (Combat Event)

A straightforward combat event where you clear enemies across multiple locations in sequence. Battle duration varies based on your team's damage output. Rewards include Astrite, Premium Resonance Potion, Premium Sealed Tube, and Premium Energy Core.

Whispers Between Stars (Story Event)

A narrative-focused event tied to the main 3.2 story. Completing side stories for specific Resonators unlocks character interactions and context. Rewards include Astrite, Advanced Resonance Potion, Advanced Sealed Tube, Advanced Energy Core, and a Motorbike skin.

Gifts of Solsworn (Login Campaign)

A seven-day login event. Logging in each day during the event period earns five Radiant Tides and five Lustrous Tides, which are used for character and weapon summons.

The Flaming Red in Memory (Daily Investigation)

A daily investigation event tied to the character Hiyuki. Each day unlocks new tasks where you gather clues and story fragments. Rewards include Astrite, Premium Resonance Potion, Premium Sealed Tube, Premium Energy Core, and Lahai-Roi Supply Pack.

What Is the Endstate Matrix?

Version 3.2 also introduces Endstate Matrix, a new high-difficulty recurring endgame mode. The mode is structured around Challenge Cycles, with each cycle containing multiple Challenge Phases. Based on available information, this appears to be a progression-oriented mode that resets on a schedule, similar to the Tower of Adversity format but with its own distinct structure. Further details on specific mechanics will become clearer once the mode goes live.

How Does Version 3.2 Fit Into the Broader Patch Timeline?

For context on where 3.2 sits in Wuthering Waves' update history, Kuro Games follows a roughly 41 to 42-day patch cycle. Version 3.2 launched on March 19, 2026, following Version 3.1 (For You Who Walk in Snow, February 5, 2026) and Version 3.0 (We Who See The Stars, December 25, 2025). The next major milestone is Version 3.3, which is expected to coincide with the game's second anniversary and will reportedly debut two new Resonators: Miyuki and Denia.

With only one new Resonator in 3.2 and a rerun-heavy Phase 2, the patch is relatively friendly to players who want to save resources. If you already have Lynae, Zani, and Phoebe, Phase 2 becomes a natural opportunity to hold Astrites for the anniversary patch rather than spend them.
