Should You Pull for Chisa in WuWa 2.8?
Chisa’s banner represents an opportunity for gap-filling if your roster lacks a Havoc Broadblade DPS. Early leakers have hinted at high break and self-sustain, but crucial details remain unconfirmed.
- F2P/Low-spend: Consider holding Astrite if your account already features strong Broadblade units—or if pity is close and you’re eyeing future banners.
- Whales/Optimizers: Early invest for meta experimentation; synergy with Startorch and four-star teams possible, but team comp theorycrafting will require post-release testing.
As always, assess your current roster, pity status, and upcoming patch roadmap. The rerun banners in 2.8 could feature previously limited characters—details “not stated in official materials”, so leverage EarlyGG’s tier guides for pull advice post-livestream.
Events and Rewards: What Else to Expect
The 2.8 special program is expected to preview:
– New limited-time events: Details to be unveiled in-stream. Historically, events in WuWa deliver significant Astrite and progression mats.
– Potential reruns or crossovers: Watch the official stream for announcements on collab banners or double drop events.
– Rewards Deadlines: Plan to complete event tasks and redeem codes within 24–48 hours to avoid missing out.
Preparation Checklist Before WuWa 2.8
