Kuro Games has unveiled the character lineup for the highly anticipated Wuthering Waves 1.4 update.

Each character offers distinct playstyles and excels in their specific roles, rounding out the game’s exciting roster.

This article provides a comprehensive ranking of the upcoming characters for players who may not yet have Yinlin or Xiangli Yao in their collections and are contemplating whether to invest in Camellya or opt for the rerun characters.

Wuthering Waves 1.4 Update Character Rankings

3. Xiangli Yao

Xiangli Yao stands out as a formidable Electro main DPS unit, capable of delivering consistent damage. While he was initially available for free in the 1.2 update, many players likely already include him in their rosters. To unlock his full damage potential, however, Xiangli Yao benefits significantly from synergy with support characters, such as Yinlin, who is coincidentally receiving a rerun as well.

While his combat effectiveness is commendable, his reliance on specific support Resonators can limit his overall performance. Still, he remains a solid choice for those looking to enhance their DPS capabilities.

2. Yinlin

Yinlin is an exceptional Electro sub-DPS character known for her high damage output and swift playstyle. She excels at quickly swapping in and unleashing coordinated attacks, which can effectively take down multiple enemies. Furthermore, Yinlin grants significant Electro DMG buffs, making her a vital support unit for main-DPS Resonators like Calcharo and Xiangli Yao.

Characterized by her ease of build and versatility, Yinlin is a wise investment, as she will remain relevant with incoming characters and team configurations in the future.

1. Camellya

As the newest addition to the Wuthering Waves roster, Camellya makes her debut as the first 5-star Havoc main DPS character, aside from the Havoc Rover. Leaked gameplay insights suggest Camellya will feature an innovative playstyle, boasting the ability to switch between various combat techniques and generate substantial damage over a wide area of effect (AoE).

Her introduction is poised to make waves in the upcoming update, and players should keep a close eye on this compelling character.
