Wuthering Waves 2.4: Septimont’s Glory, New Heroes, and Lore Unveiled

What is glory, if not the echo of legends sung beneath marble arches and blood-stained sand? As the tides of fate surge once more, Wuthering Waves beckons its Rovers to the grand city-state of Septimont—a place where heroes are forged, and destinies are rewritten. With Version 2.4, "Lightly We Toss the Crown," the world of Rinascita expands, inviting players to step into a living tapestry of myth, ambition, and shadow.

But what secrets lie beneath the city’s shining coliseums? And what new powers will awaken as the Great Agon begins anew?

Septimont: The City of Glory and Shadows

Septimont rises from the plains like a monument to mortal ambition. Unlike Ragunna, where the divine is revered, Septimont’s people worship the deeds of flesh and blood. Here, the Great Agon—a championship held every four years—draws gladiators and dreamers alike, each seeking to carve their name into legend.

“All for glory, fear no death.”

This is not just a new region; it’s a living, breathing stage for heroism and intrigue. The city’s baths offer moments of camaraderie, while the Hero’s Legacy Armor lets players literally cut through obstacles, both physical and metaphorical. The lore implications are tantalizing: What does it mean for a city to reject divinity in favor of mortal valor? What ancient secrets slumber beneath the arena’s roar?

New Resonators: Cartethyia and Lupa Join the Fray

Two new five-star Resonators stride into the spotlight, each with their own mythic gravitas:

• Cartethyia (Aero/Sword): Once the Blessed Maiden, vessel of Divinity, and Queen of Gale and Tide—now a wandering knight, unburdened by crowns. Her kit promises Aero Erosion, DMG amplification, and a main DPS role. Lore-wise, Cartethyia’s journey from divinity to freedom mirrors Septimont’s own ethos.
• Lupa (Fusion/Broadblade): The radiant star of the arena, Lupa is a gladiator who lives for the thrill of battle. Her abilities amplify Concerto Efficiency and unleash devastating Resonance Liberation. Her story is one of wild independence, echoing the city’s wolfish hunger for glory.

Both are obtainable through featured banners, and their arrival is sure to shake up the Wuthering Waves tier lists and meta discussions.

Weapons Forged in Legend

With new heroes come new arms:

• Defier’s Thorn (Sword): Born from the knight’s trials, this blade is a symbol of defiance against fate.
• Wildfire Mark (Broadblade): The lone wolf’s weapon, forged in the fires of the arena.

Each weapon is more than stats—it’s a piece of the world’s mythology, a relic that whispers of past triumphs and future battles.

Echoes, Sonata Sets, and the Pulse of Exploration

The update introduces a menagerie of new Echoes—Lioness of Glory, Kerasaur, and more—each a fragment of Rinascita’s living history. Two new Sonata Sets, Windward Pilgrimage and Flaming Clawprint, offer fresh build possibilities:

• Windward Pilgrimage: Aero DMG bonuses and Crit Rate boosts for those who master the winds.
• Flaming Clawprint: Fusion DMG amplification, rewarding aggressive Resonance Liberation.

These sets are not just mechanical upgrades; they’re invitations to experiment, to weave new stories through combat.

Main Quests: Shadow of Glory and Flames of Heart

The narrative heart of Version 2.4 beats in two new main quests:

Chapter II Act V: Shadow of Glory

Cartethyia has vanished. Following her trail, players arrive in Septimont, where the Great Agon is underway. But beneath the spectacle, factions maneuver in secret. A temporary alliance with Lupa leads to a championship run, but the city’s shadows grow ever deeper.

Chapter II Act VI: Flames of Heart

Victory in the arena is only the beginning. As you and Lupa pursue the Lioness of Glory into the burial grounds of heroes, questions of trust and fate arise. The story teases branching outcomes—will Lupa prove friend or foe? The choices made here may ripple through the very fabric of Rinascita’s future.

Events, Features, and Rewards: A Festival of Challenges

Version 2.4 is a feast for completionists and explorers alike:

• The Everglorious Summit: Area exploration event with rich rewards.
• Septimont Travel Atlas: Boost your exploration progress and earn Astrites.
• Uncovering Past Heroes: A photo collection event capturing the city’s beauty.

And for those who love optimization, the Official Guide Depot debuts, offering in-game build guides and progress tracking for every Resonator.

Visual and Performance Enhancements: A World More Alive

The city of Septimont is rendered in even greater detail, with new Ultra Quality graphics settings for high-end PCs and Macs. The addition of global filters lets players tailor the game’s mood—choose from Vivid, Dystopian, Noir, and more. Subtle touches, like ripples in water and shifting ground textures, deepen immersion.

Bug Fixes, Optimizations, and Quality of Life

From improved quest tracking to controller support and UI tweaks, Version 2.4 addresses a host of player feedback. The Solaris New Voyage Celebration event offers newcomers a chance to claim a standard 5-star Resonator, while adjustments to Dreaming Deep and other events ensure a smoother, more rewarding experience.

The Road Ahead: Lore, Community, and the Future

With each update, Wuthering Waves grows not just in size, but in narrative depth. Septimont’s arrival is more than a new map—it’s a meditation on heroism, legacy, and the choices that shape worlds. As players step into the arena, form alliances, and uncover secrets, the boundaries between myth and reality blur.

What stories will you write in the City of Glory? Will you chase the crown, or toss it aside for freedom? The waves are wuthering, and the stage is yours.
