Wuthering Waves Community Debates Future SP Character Strategy

Community members on r/WutheringWaves are actively discussing the future trajectory of Special (SP) characters in the game. With version 4.x potentially arriving around Christmas and the release of QueenYang SP in version 3.5, many players speculate that Kuro Games will continue introducing SP units. The consensus suggests that SP versions should primarily target 4-star characters, allowing older units to remain relevant in both the meta and the narrative. Some players argue that standard 5-star characters might also receive SP treatments, though kit reworks are often preferred. However, there is strong sentiment against creating SP versions for limited 5-star characters like Jiyan, Yinlin, Jinhsi, and Zhezhi, with many advocating for direct kit reworks instead. Speculation also points to the New Federation region as a likely source for new SP characters, particularly Aalto or Mortefi. Additionally, future Huanglong regions may see an influx of SP units due to the high number of 4-star characters originating from those areas. While a complete role switch for a limited 5-star is theoretically possible, the community generally views this as an undesirable incentive.
