Wuthering Waves V2.6 introduces new 5-star resonators Augusta and Iuno, matching weapons, the Sanguis Plateaus area, and new tactical hologram challenges.
Wuthering Waves Version 2.6 expands the game with new resonators, weapons, regional areas, and gameplay systems.
New Resonators and Weapons
Two new 5-star resonators join the roster through Featured Resonator Convenes: Augusta, an Electro Broadblade user, and Iuno, an Aero Gauntlets user. Corresponding 5-star weapons arrive via Featured Weapon Convene, consisting of the Thunderflare Dominion Broadblade and Moongazer's Sigil Gauntlets. Additionally, the Hunter's Growl 4-star weapon series—featuring Aureate Zenith, Feather Edge, Solar Flame, Aether Strike, and Radiant Dawn—becomes available by unlocking the Insider or Connoisseur Channel of the Pioneer Podcast and claiming a Pioneer Podcast Supply Pack.
New Areas, Echoes, and Enemies
Players can explore the Sanguis Plateaus by reaching the location during Main Quest Chapter II Act VIII: By Sun's Burning Hand. New enemies emerge, including The False Sovereign, Lady of the Sea, Corrosaurus, and Nightmare variants of the Cyan-Feathered Heron, Violet-Feathered Heron, Gulpuff, Chirpuff, Aero Predator, and Electro Predator. Players can also take on Tideline Verge Nightmare Nest and The Wastelands Nightmare Nest to claim Echoes from Nightmare Tacet Discords daily without spending Waveplates.
New Equipment Sets and Features
Two 3-piece Echo sets debut: Crown of Valor and Law of Harmony. A new Gallery category for weapons is added alongside a Record Sync feature. The Utility: Flight functionality becomes available in Jinzhou and the Black Shores following the update.
Challenges, Quests, and Events

Players can earn Phantom Echoes such as Phantom - Fallacy of No Return via the Tacet Discord Tower Defense Event and Phantom - Kerasaur upon completing the Side Quest Dream of A Rusted Sword. New avatars include Wax and Wane and TD Terminator, alongside the Catcher in the Tide title. Various area events, a 7-day login event, puzzle events, and lunar phase divination events round out the update content.
