The Wuthering Waves 2.8 drip marketing campaign has officially unveiled Chisa, the final 5-star Resonator from the Septimont arc, set to debut on November 20, 2025.
Kuro Games has confirmed Chisa as the next playable character in Wuthering Waves 2.8, marking her long-awaited arrival after months of teasing. As the last unplayable Resonator from the original Septimont storyline, Chisa’s reveal signals the conclusion of the Rinascita arc and paves the way for the game’s next chapter in Version 3.0.
Who Is Chisa in Wuthering Waves?
Chisa is a 5-star Resonator and a student at Startorch Academy, a faction represented by the Helix logo seen on her promotional art. Her design stands out with a Japanese schoolgirl aesthetic, a rare sight in the world of Huanglong and Rinascita.
Her official description reads: “Upon analyzing the structure of an observed target, she identifies and then severs the enemy's weak threads, unravelling their structural integrity in one sharp cut from the scissors in her hands.”
This suggests a gameplay style centered around precision, analysis, and structural breakdown, possibly translating into debuff mechanics or burst damage on weak points.

WuWa Chisa Weapon and Combat Style
Chisa wields a giant scissor-like weapon, which is likely classified as a Broadblade—similar to Lupa. While her elemental type (DMG Type) has not yet been revealed, her kit is expected to focus on:
- Weak point targeting
- High burst damage
- Deconstruction mechanics that disrupt enemy defenses
Her ability to “sever weak threads” may introduce a unique enemy debuff system, making her a powerful addition to both story and endgame content.
Beyond combat, Chisa’s personality adds depth to her character. She is described as conscientious and level-headed, with a logical mindset that breaks down problems into solvable components. However, she struggles with human bonds.
This philosophical contrast between logic and emotion makes her one of the most intriguing characters in the game’s narrative.
WuWa Chisa Release Date and Banner Details
The Wuthering Waves 2.8 update is scheduled to launch on November 20, 2025, with Chisa headlining the first-phase banner. She is expected to be the only new 5-star character in the patch, making her banner a must-watch for collectors and story fans.
Her signature weapon will also be released alongside her, likely enhancing her scissor-based mechanics.
All in all, Chisa’s reveal via the Wuthering Waves 2.8 drip marketing campaign is more than just a character drop. Her unique design, intriguing lore, and powerful combat potential make her one of the most anticipated Resonators yet.
