Galbrena: The Devil Purified by Flame
Galberna is a 5-Star Fusion character that uses Pistols in battle. She is designed as a main DPS character with a playstyle focused on Fusion DMG and a unique Afterflame mechanic. The synergy between Galberna and Lupa may play a vital part in Team Fire in the 2.7 version.
Galbrena's skillset involves several self-combining abilities. Starting at level 01, she benefits from a 120% increase in Fusion damage and does not rely on Echo teammates except for Qiuyuan.

Galbrena Kit
Normal Attack / Basic Attack
● Up to 4 consecutive pistol shots, dealing Fusion DMG. Hit stages 1-3 count as Heavy Attack tagged, while stage 4 counts as Echo Skill DMG.
● After stage 4, pressing Normal Attack returns to stage 2.
Heavy Attack - Final Volley
● Consumes stamina (STA) to perform up to 3 follow-up shots. The third shot in the volley is tagged as Echo Skill DMG.
Mid-air Attack - Ashfall Barrage
● Pressing Normal Attack in mid air triggers a Plunging Attack (Heavy tag).
● Holding Normal Attack fires a barrage downward, then releases to plunge.
Dodge Counter - Blood for Blood
● A counterattack triggered by a successful dodge, involving Fusion DMG with Heavy Attack tag. Can chain into other parts of her combo, such as basic attack stage 4 after execution.
Galbrena was officially announced as the next Resonator on September 4, 2025, during the middle of version 2.6. Since the Wuthering Waves 2.7 release date and banners confirmed for October 10, 2025, players won't have to wait long to pull for her and experience her fiery DPS potential.
Qiuyuan: The Lone Wandering Swordsman
Qiuyuan is a 5-Star Aero resonator who fights with a sword. He is designed as a sub-DPS and team buffer. He offers steady independent Aero damage while enhancing the team's output simultaneously. His gameplay centers on smooth sword combos and the Swordster's Soliloquy mechanic, which powers up his attacks and unlocks stronger abilities.
Qiuyuan is one of the first Wuthering Waves 2.7 characters that can buff Eco skill damage directly and also provide a teamwide CRIT damage bonus. At C0, he excels as a sub-DPS, but his Resonance Chains expand his potential. C1 grants interrupt resistance, C2 strengthens his support role, and C3 allows him to flex into a DPS position. His versatility makes him Galbrena's best partner and also a strong fit in other team setups, such as Phrolova compositions.

Dodge Counter – Swift Reversal

Lupa
Lupa is a 5-Star Fusion resonator who uses a Broadblade. She is a gladiator from Septimont, known for her fierce competitive nature and strong sense of honor.
