In this ONE Esports guide, we reveal the Zhezhi release date in Wuthering Waves, alongside details of her 5-star banner.
Zhezhi release date in Wuthering Waves
Zhezhi should be released in Wuthering Waves on August 15 alongside the game’s 1.2 update. She will be the boosted 5-star character in phase 1 of the 1.2 banner.
However, since Kuro Games hasn’t confirmed the start time of Wuthering Waves 1.2, the date mentioned above could change, though it should still be in the second week of August.

Much of Zhezhi’s character is shrouded in mystery, but Kuro Games has revealed an official character description via her drip marketing that sheds some light on her personality and profession.
According to it, “Zhezhi is a commissioned painter, quiet and shy with a dedication to her craft. She’s not very eloquent, but her persistence and love for painting speak volumes.”
When will Wuthering Waves Zhezhi banner conclude?
Zhezhi’s 5-star banner should conclude on September 5, three weeks after its arrival.
There’s still some time before Zhezhi arrives in Wuthering Waves, so you could take this time to complete side quests and run Tower of Adversity to farm Astrities to prepare for her.

There’s also Changli’s banner if you are interested in getting the new 5-star Fusion character or simply building up your pity for Zhezhi.
Given how generous Kuro Games have been lately, you could even expect a few free Radiant Tides in 1.2.
That said, even if you have awful gacha luck like me and somehow end up losing your Zhezhi 50/50, fret not, since Zhezhi’s 5-star banner will return again in Wuthering Waves.
