Wuthering Waves has an assortment of fantastic characters available right away, but more are set to be added in the future. We know Zhezhi and Xiangli Yao are becoming playable in update 1.2, but before then we will be treated to the release of Changli. Here you will find the Wuthering Waves Changli banner release date and time countdown along with her skills and the accompanying 4 stars characters.
Fans of WuWa have a lot to look forward to very soon. Update 1.2 is scheduled to launch in August, and huge leaks have fans praising Kuro for listening to the community. Away from 1.2, a massive announcement suggests a PlayStation release is finally happening, meanwhile, another leak suggests a big upgrade is on the way that Genshin Impact fans have wanted for years.
WuWa only came out less than two months ago, but it has already achieved a “major milestone” that makes it one of the biggest gacha games right now beside Genshin. Update 1.2 should be fantastic, but, before then, we will be treated to the release of the highly-popular Changli in Wuthering Waves.

When does Changli come out in Wuthering Waves
The release time for when Changli will come out in Wuthering Waves is 8AM PT/11AM ET on July 22nd, and 10AM BST on July 22nd.
Kuro has confirmed that she is set to launch on July 22nd at 10AM sever time (UTC+8). As you’d expect, Changli is a 5-star, and she is a Fusion Resonator that uses a sword as her melee weapon. In story, she is the mentor to Jinhsi, who fans believe is by far the “best written character” in the game so far.
