The release of the Wuthering Waves 2.0 patch has brought an exciting wave of content, mechanics, and new characters, including the much-anticipated addition of Carlotta. This update represents a pivotal moment for Kuro Games’ open-world RPG, offering new and returning players a fresh experience. With enhanced visuals, improved mechanics, and expanded storylines, the 2.0 patch aims to reignite the enthusiasm of long-time fans while captivating newcomers.
One of the standout features of this update is the introduction of Carlotta, a powerful five-star character with a unique skill set. But is she worth pulling for? Let’s explore her abilities, team synergy, and overall impact on gameplay to help you decide.
Carlotta: A Brief Overview
Carlotta is the game’s first limited gun user with a Glacio element, which makes her a versatile and strategic pick for challenging content. Her design reflects a mix of elegance and ferocity, wielding dual-gun (which can also turn into a rifle) weapon infused with ice to deal devastating single-target damage while controlling the battlefield. As a character, she’s positioned to bring both power and utility, making her an appealing choice for various team compositions.
Carlotta’s kit revolves around high-damage combos, with a single target focus. Here’s a breakdown of her abilities:
Carlotta is an excellent addition to their roster for new players diving into Wuthering Waves. Her utility and damage potential make her effective in both early-game and endgame content.
Ease of Use
Carlotta’s straightforward playstyle is beginner-friendly. Her abilities don’t require complex timing or intricate setups, allowing new players to focus on learning the game’s mechanics while still contributing significantly in battles.
Exploration Perks
In the open world, Carlotta can utilize her passive that will grant you few more seconds of flight in the Rinascitta region. While this isn’t a game-breaking, it adds a little extra to her already stellar kit

For veterans of Wuthering Waves, Carlotta’s potential lies in her ability to adapt to advanced team compositions and tackle high-level challenges.
Carlotta’s Glacio specialization makes her extremely valuable as currently we only have Lingyang to fill the main DPS role for it, and he is one of the few characters that you wouldn’t wanna level in this game(unless you are really good with). Her ultimate is a two-stage attack with her first form changing stance and her second one dropping a big nuke.
Synergy with Existing Characters
Returning players likely have a well-rounded roster from the free units they already have, however, it must be noted that Zhezhi is her best teammate for the hyper-carry team. But those who are good at quick swap will find a variety of mixed matches, and even pair her with characters like Yinlin and Changli.
High Scaling Potential
Carlotta will be the first Glacio character that everyone can enjoy being on the on-field without worrying about the lack of damage or kit that would hold her back(looking at you, Lingyang). While Carlotta can work with any character due to the nature of the game being skill-focused rather than character synergies, it needs to be kept in mind that one of Carlotta’s best teammates will be Zhezhi who will be released alongside her in a different banner.
Banner Considerations and Pull Strategies
Carlotta’s banner is part of the soft relaunch of the game, and you can be sure to have enough free pulls to guarantee her even if you were to lose 50/50. However, Jinhsi will be releasing in the second part of the patch alongside Roccia, so you must keep it in mind before going all in on her.

The answer is a resounding yes for most players. Carlotta’s combination of damage, utility, and adaptability ensures she’s not only a strong standalone unit but also a key component for diverse team compositions.
For New Players: Carlotta simplifies progression and adds value to exploration and early battles.
For Returning Players: Her synergy with existing rosters and meta relevance make her a valuable asset in advanced content.
With the Wuthering Waves 2.0 patch breathing new life into the game, Carlotta serves as the perfect ambassador for this exciting new chapter. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a fresh recruit, pulling for Carlotta could very well be the decision that elevates your Wuthering Waves experience to the next level.
