The latest update to Wuthering Waves, version 2.7, introduces two new resonators, including the five-star character Galbrena. I’ve had a chance to test her out and have put together a build guide to help players understand how to best use her in this action RPG.
We’ve also updated information on voice actors, including how to avoid getting banned and what’s being done to prevent leaks. Plus, you’ll find the newest redeem codes that are currently working, as well as guides for rerolling, getting started as a beginner, understanding elements, using a controller, and learning about weapon types and echoes. We’ve also included tips for playing with friends, earning Astrite, and a current tier list to help you optimize your gameplay.
Wuthering Waves Episode 2.7, featuring “APHELION [Galbrena’s Lullaby]” (produced by Crywolf), explores a lost perfection. The song evokes a sense of remembering a time when everything was ideal, contrasted with a present state where that perfection is gone.
This production is by Wuthering Waves, with Crywolf as the producer. Justin Phillips and Alexander Phillips wrote the music, and Justin Phillips penned the lyrics.

Why should you pull for Galbrena in WuWa
It’s best to test her out during the trial period before committing to her as your primary damage dealer. Building a strong team around her can be challenging, as she doesn’t pair well with many free-to-play characters and has limited team options. Plus, your choices for her weapon are also restricted, which is another thing to consider.
Despite some drawbacks, her high critical hit rate and damage-boosting abilities make her a strong contender as your primary damage dealer. If you enjoy fast-paced combat and want to quickly defeat enemies, she’s definitely worth considering.
