Version 3.5 of Wuthering Waves is shaping up around two new 5-star Resonators, and the most useful early detail for anyone planning their pulls is the weapon class each one uses. Leaks point to a Sword DPS in Phase 1 and a Rectifier in Phase 2, plus a long-awaited Electro form for the Rover that swaps between two weapons mid-fight.
Quick answer: Xuanling (Yangyang SP) is leaked as a Sword main DPS, Suisui as a Glacio Rectifier, and the Electro Rover as a stance unit that switches between a crossbow and a shield. None of this is officially confirmed by Kuro Games, and the leaked element for Yangyang SP is disputed.
Wuthering Waves 3.5 leaked weapon types
The 3.5 banner is split into two phases. Phase 1 features Xuanling, an alternate form of the launch-era 4-star Yangyang that the community calls Yangyang SP. Phase 2 brings in Suisui, a brand-new character widely rumored to be Yangyang’s younger sister. Here is how the weapon classes line up.
| Character | Phase | Weapon | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xuanling (Yangyang SP) | Phase 1 | Sword | Havoc (Electro in some leaks) |
| Suisui | Phase 2 | Rectifier | Glacio |
| Electro Rover | Free unit | Crossbow / Shield (stance swap) | Electro |
Note: every detail here comes from beta-stage leaks and can change before release. Treat the weapon classes as the most stable part of the picture and the elements as the part still in flux.
Xuanling (Yangyang SP): Sword main DPS
Xuanling wields a Sword and is leaked to play as a main DPS. Her kit description includes an Enhanced Rising Dragon, a Dragon Ascent Charge mechanic, and the ability to swap weapons mid-combat for a stance-based, multi-form style. Visually she is described with black-and-white hair and black wings, dropping the beret and stockings of the base Yangyang.
There is a clear disagreement in the leaks over her element. Most descriptions tie her to Havoc and build her around the Havoc Bane debuff, which makes her a strong pairing with Chisa, the only Resonator who currently applies it. A smaller set of leaks instead labels her an Electro Sword DPS with an HP-scaling “berserker” mechanic. The Sword weapon type is the consistent detail; the element is not yet settled.
Suisui: Glacio Rectifier
Suisui is a new Glacio Rectifier and arrives in Phase 2, directly after Xuanling. Her kit reportedly uses two distinct forms that she swaps between with her Resonance Skill. Leaks float several roles for her, including a third slot in the Hiyuki and Lucilla Glacio team, a sub-DPS partner for Xuanling, or a piece for Echo-focused teams.
Her connection to Xuanling runs through the story too. The two share special intro voicelines for each other, and Suisui carries a Tacet Mark in the same forehead position as Yangyang’s, which is what fuels the sister theory.
Electro Rover: crossbow and shield stance swap
The Rover is leaked to gain an Electro form with a dual-weapon system, switching between a crossbow and a shield in combat. The moveset reportedly blends elements from all three existing Rover forms and leans more aggressive, with mechanics named Sharpen & Charge, Sharpened Slash, and Counterattack pointing to a stance-based playstyle.
Release window and what is still unconfirmed
Wuthering Waves updates run on roughly six-week cycles, with Version 3.4 and its Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover arriving in June 2026. That places Version 3.5 in the following window, though no official 3.5 launch date and time has been confirmed by Kuro Games yet. Leaked estimates vary, so avoid locking in any single date until the official patch announcement.
The signature 5-star weapon names for Xuanling and Suisui have not surfaced in a verifiable form, so the practical takeaway for now is the weapon class itself. If you are saving for the Sword DPS, build toward Sword gear; if Suisui is the goal, plan around a Rectifier. Expect the kits and elements to shift while the patch is still in beta, and confirm everything against the official reveal once Kuro Games publishes the 3.5 details.
