Kuro Games’ Wuthering Waves is surging toward Phase 2 of its 1.0 update, bringing the hotly anticipated banner debut of the Electro powerhouse, Yinlin. Recent announcements reveal that Phase 2 will arrive earlier than scheduled, so players won't have to wait long to try their luck on the game's second-ever limited-time banner!
Yinlin’s unique ability to tether enemies and chain attacks, triggering devastating AoE effects for your entire party, makes her a phenomenal DPS unit. Her Electro-buffing Outro Skill further enhances her damage potential, especially when paired with the standard 5-star Electro character, Calcharo. To be among the first to add Yinlin to your roster, mark your calendars with our Wuthering Waves 1.0 Phase 2 countdown here!

Wuthering Waves 1.0 Phase 2 Banners
Yinlin's Resonator Convene event "When Thunder Pours" will be accompanied by a trio of 4-star characters and her signature 5-star weapon!
To sum up, below are the characters and weapons set to receive increased drop rates in 1.0 Phase 2:
- Character Event Convene
- 5-star:
- Yinlin: Electro / Rectifier

Of the 4-star characters, Taoqi and Yuanwu stand out with their synergy with Yinlin. Taoqi shines as Sub DPS due to her Basic Attack-oriented gameplay, which takes full advantage of Yinlin's Sin Binding Mark debuff. If you don't have Calcharo, Yuanwu is a great alternative Electro Main DPS. His abilities benefit greatly from Yinlin's Outro Skill, which enhances Electro damage, creating a strong offensive duo.
Yinlin can excel in both Sub DPS and Main DPS roles, but her choice of weapon, echo set, and teammates will vary depending on your preferred playstyle. Be sure to take a look at our Yinlin build guide and materials farming guide so you can hit the ground running when her banner drops!
Shortly following the end of 1.0 Phase 2 on July 2, players can look forward to Version 1.1, set to bring the much-anticipated debut banners of the revered Magistrate of Jinzhou, Jinhsi, and her mentor, Changli.
