Wuthering Waves 1.3 leaks reveal exciting kits for The Shorekeeper and Youhu

As a seasoned Wuthering Waves veteran, I can confidently say that the upcoming 1.3 update has me absolutely buzzing! The leaked kits for The Shorekeeper and Youhu have left me breathless with anticipation.

In a natural and easy-to-read manner: Wuthering Waves, one of the top and widely appreciated gacha games, trails only Hoyoverse’s diverse offerings. Currently in its early stages of version 1.2, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of version 1.3. Before the game progresses to its third chapter, leaks for Wuthering Waves 1.3 have surfaced, showcasing intriguing abilities for The Shorekeeper and Youhu characters.

Here I am, diving headfirst into the exciting world of WuWa 1.2! Kuro’s generously spilled the beans about all the character and weapon banners that are lined up for us gamers between now and September’s end. Right now, it’s Zhezhi’s time to shine, and next month, Xiangli Yao is set to join the fray. But here’s the cherry on top – we’re anxiously waiting for the game’s grand debut on PlayStation 5 consoles!

Even though Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao are exciting new characters for the game, it’s clear that many players are eagerly anticipating The Shorekeeper and Youhu. These two characters are set to debut in update 1.3 and from what we’ve heard through leaks, they each have a distinct skillset of abilities.

Wuthering Waves 1.3 The Shorekeeper kit leak

As a seasoned reader of Wuthering Waves, I stumbled upon a fascinating revelation recently – the leaked kit for The Shorekeeper, shared by WuWa_Universe (via Cxl & Seele). Having followed this series closely over the years, it was like stumbling upon a hidden treasure. The translation from waves_wuthering added an extra layer of intrigue, making me feel as if I were part of an exclusive club with inside knowledge. It’s always exciting to get a sneak peek into the life of a character as complex and captivating as The Shorekeeper. The leaked kit provided valuable insights into his background, motivations, and role within the series, making me even more eager to see how his story unfolds in future installments. I can’t wait to share my thoughts with fellow fans and discuss our theories about this mysterious character!

  • Normal Attack:
    • Ranged, can be executed in the air, with smooth handling.
  • Resonance Skill:
    • Summons several yellow butterflies that automatically lock onto enemies and deal damage. Each time damage is dealt, allies are healed. This is a hands-free skill with a short startup.
      Resonance Circuit:
      • Every normal attack by Shouanren generates a cocoon nearthe enemy. The cocoon hatches into a blue butterfly after a few seconds, which automatically seeks out and attacks enemies. Each hit boosts the attack power of teammates by a certain percentage, with a maximum number of layers and duration. When special energy is fully charged, more cocoons are generated through normal attacks. There is a limit to the number of cocoons. Each normal attack grants 1 special passive energy, similar to Bai Zhi. If the special energy is not full, holding the attack button transforms Shouanren into a butterfly that moves around, continuously regenerating energy. Releasing the attack button when the special energy is full causes Shouanren to dash towards the enemy, dealing damage and reverting to human form. Holding the attack button when special energy is full will deal damage and instantly hatch all cocoons.
  • Resonance Liberation:
    • After a spectacular performance, Shouanren unfolds a domain that lasts for several seconds. The domain has three stages, each advanced by triggering the “Delayed Performance” skill of teammates. Stage 1 heals, Stage 2 increases critical hit rate, and Stage 3 increases damage dealt. It is unclear whether these domain effects stack.
  • Variation Skill:
    • The normal variation skill is equivalent to releasing the resonance skill, summoning yellow butterflies to attack enemies and heal allies. During Stage 3 of the Resonance Liberation, performing a spectacular performance upon entry causes explosive damage.
  • Delayed Performance Skill:
    • Shouanren provides the entire team with a damage boost for several seconds and transforms into two colorful butterflies that surround the active character for protection. If the active character is knocked back or launched, the dodge skill can be used, consuming Shouanren’s life and counting as a perfect dodge. The active character’s next attack is considered a counterattack.

WuWa 1.3 Youhu kit leak

And below is the translated kit leak for Youhu:

  • Normal Attack:
    • Melee, uses gauntlets to attack. When the special energy bar is full, the attack triggers a lottery.
  • Resonance Skill:
    • After dealing damage, jumps backward and randomly conjures an item with the ice attribute (referred to as a “lottery”).
  • Resonance Circuit:
    • When Youhu enters a specific state and wins the lottery, it randomly selects one of the following items: a vase, ruyi scepter, tripod, bell, or mask. Upon obtaining an item, a special attack is gained. Some items provide ranged attacks and grant special effects based on what was obtained. If a vase is drawn, it has no special effects. The obtained item lasts for a certain period and is overwritten by new items if not used. If the same result is drawn consecutively twice, the attack is enhanced, and holding down the normal attack triggers a bizarre combo with additional effects.
  • Resonance Liberation:
    • Causes area damage in front and allows a self-chosen lottery with a time-stop effect.
  • Variation Skill:
    • Upon entry, deals damage and performs a lottery.
  • Delayed Performance Skill:
    • Increases the next character’s cooperative damage, lasting several seconds.

It’s worth mentioning that the information provided earlier isn’t definitive since it originates from the 1.3 closed beta translation, so there’s a possibility for modifications by Kuro.
