Xiangli Yao is a new 5-star Resonator in Wuthering Waves. He’s a DPS character who can deal Electro damage, like Yinlin and Calcharo.
Xiangli Yao will reportedly have a free 5-star banner in Wuthering Waves, similar to how Dr. Ratio had in Honkai Star Rail. Hence, if you’re excited to add this new 5-star Resonator to your party, you’re in the right place.
In this ONE Esports guide, we reveal the Xiangli Yao release date and details of his 5-star banner.
Xiangli Yao release date in Wuthering Waves
Xiangli Yao release date in Wuthering Waves should be September 5, at least according to his drip marketing by Kuro Games.
Xiangli Yao will be released in phase 2 of Wuthering Waves 1.2, which should commence on September 5. However, Kuro Games have yet to confirm the release date, so it’s best to take this info with a grain of salt.
Thankfully, Kuro have at least revealed the character description for Xiangli Yao, which provides more insight into the kind of Resonator he is.
According to it, “He is a gentle yet rational soul, embracing unique insights and commitment to the research of Automata Mechanics.”
Xiangli Yao is the principal investigator at Huaxu Academics, who specializes in the research of Automata Mechanics.
Sadly, nothing else is currently known about Xiangli Yao, but this should change soon as he would likely have a notable role in the story of Wuthering Waves 1.2
When will Wuthering Waves Xiangli Yao banner conclude?
Xiangli Yao’s 5-star banner in Wuthering Waves should conclude on September 26, three weeks after its commencement.
As mentioned above, Xiangli could be free to claim, though that doesn’t mean you can’t pull additional copies for his wavebands and build a more powerful version of him.
Fortunately, if you are interested in getting Xiangli’s wavebands, you have plenty of time to farm Astrities and Radiant Tides.
