Version 3.1 has quietly reshaped the meta. If you're investing in S1 (Sequence 1) upgrades, this is the patch where value really shows.
Instead of ranking them in strict order, here's a practical breakdown of the strongest S1 characters right now — and why they're worth your Astrites.
3.1 Most Valuable S1 Characters (No Specific Order)
Aemeath (S1 ↑ Target Switching)
Aemeath at S1 feels noticeably smoother in multi-wave content. Her improved target switching makes her far more consistent in Deep Tower and boss phases with summons.If you're running fast rotations, S1 removes a lot of friction and boosts real combat uptime — not just theoretical DPS.
Augusta (S1 ↑ Crit DMG + Anti-Interrupt)
Augusta's S1 gives her both higher burst ceiling and better survivability. The added interruption resistance is especially valuable in higher-difficulty content where stagger pressure is constant.For players pushing endgame modes, this upgrade makes her much more stable under pressure.
Galbrena (S1 ↑ Crit DMG + Anti-Interrupt)
Galbrena benefits similarly from the Crit Damage increase, but what really stands out is how her S1 improves rotation stability. Less interruption means cleaner combos and better damage consistency.She scales extremely well if she's your main carry.
Zani (S1 ↑ Spectro Bonus + Anti-Interrupt)
Zani's S1 directly enhances her Spectro damage output while improving her ability to stay on-field.For Spectro-focused teams, this is a straightforward power spike — simple, efficient, and very noticeable in longer fights.
Luuk Herssen (S1 ↑ Aerial DMG + Anti-Interrupt & DMG Reduction)
Luuk Herssen players know how aerial-focused gameplay can feel risky. S1 helps a lot here:
- Increased aerial attack scaling
- Added anti-interrupt and damage reduction
- Better survivability during airborne combosThis makes his playstyle far more forgiving while keeping the aggressive tempo intact.

Version 3.3 Anniversary Update (Launches April 23)The 3.3 Anniversary patch is set to go live on April 23, and the rerun banners are stacked.
📌 Phase 1 Reruns
- Cartethyia
- Ciaccona
- Carlotta
- Zani
- Phoebe
📌 Phase 2 Reruns
- Aemeath
- Lynae
- Mornye
- Chisa
Now let's break down which reruns are actually worth planning for.
Cartethyia
The Core of the"KXQ" SystemWhen paired with Ciaccona and Chisa, Cartethyia forms a complete and stable synergy team that performs consistently in Deep Tower.If you've been missing one piece of this trio, Anniversary is the perfect time to finish the lineup.
Phoebe
Still a Fan FavoriteOriginally the main DPS of the Guangxi meta in Version 2.1, Phoebe quickly became popular thanks to both performance and design.Even now, she remains a highly picked unit with solid sustained output. She's not just a "visual favorite" — she still delivers reliable damage.
Aemeath + Lynae + Mornye
High Usage Core TrioThis trio currently sits among the highest usage combinations in endgame content.Their harmonic synergy mechanics create strong rotational flow and damage layering. If you're looking for a safe, proven team core, this setup remains one of the most stable investments.
Chisa
The Universal Flex PickReleased in Version 2.8 as a sub-DPS/support hybrid, Chisa had massive launch hype — and she's aged very well.
Why players still love her:
- Extremely versatile
- Low investment cost
- Fits into multiple team comps
- High ownership rate across accounts
If you're unsure what your roster needs, Chisa is one of the safest pulls this Anniversary.
Should You Pull During 3.3?It depends on your account:
- Missing a core synergy unit? Complete your team.
- Already have a stable meta lineup? Consider S1 upgrades instead.
- F2P or low-spend player? Prioritize flexible characters over niche DPS.
Anniversary banners usually offer the best long-term value — especially if you plan your Astrite spending carefully.
At VeloxGame, players can recharge safely and quickly for Wuthering Waves, making it easier to lock in key pulls before banners rotate.
