Wuthering Waves: Phrolova Banner Breakdown & F2P Advice

Phrolova Headlines Wuthering Waves’ Premier December Banner

December brings a pivotal banner to Wuthering Waves: the debut of 5-Star Resonator Phrolova in the "Requiem Without End" event. For both meta-focused tacticians and F2P players, this limited window sharply reshapes pull strategies and resource management at the close of 2025.

Long-anticipated since her datamined skill teasers, Phrolova arrives with exclusive status and a banner structure that rewards patient play. With supporting 4-Stars Buling, Danjin, and Chixia also featuring boosted rates, the December banner arc could define rosters well into the upcoming meta cycles.

Should You Pull on Requiem Without End?

F2P & Low-Spend Priorities

Phrolova’s exclusivity makes this a rare opportunity: once the event ends, she will not return through regular banners, according to current official info.
Pity mechanics favor those close to a guaranteed 5-Star (hard pity not specified in official materials; check in-game for precise values).
Competing banners: No concurrent rerun or premium event banners have been confirmed for this phase (Not stated in official materials), reducing conflict for optimal pulls.
For pure F2P: Consider overall account needs—Phrolova’s role may leave gaps if you’re mid-progression and lacking core sustain or DPS.

Pity, Event Currencies & Store Notes

Wavebands: Phrolova’s Waveband may be purchased up to 2x in the Afterglow Coral Store during the event window; both the unit and her Waveband disappear from shop post-banner.
4-Star Buling: Purchasable with Afterglow Coral (1x, 80 points) through the subsequent patch. Already owned? The purchase grants Buling’s Waveband.

Teams & Synergies: Phrolova, Buling, and Friends

Phrolova’s role and elemental kit (details not expanded in current official release; further analysis pending early access/test builds) mean she likely synergizes best with buff/disruption supports. Buling serves as a flexible unit, slotting into midrange DPS or utility cores—especially valuable for F2P and new players stabilizing their early teams.

Example Synergy: Phrolova (lead) + Buling (sub-DPS/buffer) + Chixia/Danjin (flex slot or event tasking)

Early trial experiences (via Ascendant Aces) allow hands-on testing before committing Radiant Tide or currency—maximizing informed pulls.
