Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao will be featured in Wuthering Waves 1.2 update

Kuro Games has finally released their 1.2 drip marketing showcasing two new characters:

• Zhezhi (5-star)
• Xiangli Yao (5-star)

According to it, Zhezhi works as a commissioned painter and is very dedicated to her craft. Being introverted doesn't stop her from approaching someone she wants to paint. She might lack social confidence due to being shy and quiet but her persistence and love for painting speak volumes.

Kuro Games developers have yet to release additional information about her attributes, weapon choices, and kit details. Recent leaks have unveiled that she will be a Glacio healer using Rectifier weapons. Additionally, she might pair well with Jinhsi teams.

Xiangli Yao is another 5-star resonator who will debut alongside Zhezhi based on recent drip marketing. Official announcements have confirmed that he is a young fellow who works as the Principal Investigator for the Huaxu Academy. He has shown exceptional expertise in various research fields, embraces original ideas, and has shown commitment to research for Automatic Mechanics.

Some might remember his name being mentioned during the early main storyline when Rover meets Mortefi for the first time. During the quest, players also visited his messy room inside the Academy.

Recent leaks and speculations in the Wuthering Waves community expect him to be a Lightning DPS. He is rumored to use Gauntlet instead of Pistols as suggested in older leaks.
