Is Camellya still worth pulling in Wuthering Waves 2.2?

Although Cantarella is the premium character banner of Wuthering Waves 2.2, Camellya makes her return alongside her. If you're wondering if a version 1.4 character is still worth your time and money, here's everything you need to know. Should you pull Camellya in Wuthering Waves 2.2 In Wuthering Waves 2.2, Camellya gets her first rerun banner, and her value depends on several factors. For a bit of context, Camellya is a Havoc Main DPS with a heavy focus on AoE damage and genuine DPS versatility. She remains a top-tier character for the most difficult content, and her best team is F2P (Free-to-play) friendly, with Sanhau and Verina being her ideal teammates. She is a selfish character, but she can participate and excel in any content. Overall, her value is still high for most accounts, thanks to her versatility. However, since Cantarella releases at the same time as Camellya's rerun, and is a new character entirely, it's important to consider her as well. Cantarella is a jack-of-all-trades character that can perform any role in the game, though not at the height of a dedicated character. She is also a Havoc DPS, but unlike Camellya, she can buff, heal, and deal damage all at the same time. In hindsight, she is similar to Brant. Brant is a highly spoken-of character in the Wuthering Waves' meta thanks to his extreme versatility in team compositions, and Cantarella is no different in this regard. Following the Cantarella/Camellya banners in version 2.2, the second half sees the return of The Shorekeeper: a juggernaut in the game's current meta. Image by Destructoid Shorekeeper is a pure Spectro Support character that exists to massively buff ally damage while providing healing at the same time. Her damage buffs are similar to Verina's (sometimes better), so Shorekeeper is widely considered the only must-pull character in the game. Cantarella, Camellya, and Shorekeeper: If you can only pull one, which one should you? Camellya vs Cantarella Image via Destructoid Despite Cantarella's versatility, she has genuine issues that lower her value when compared to Camellya. The main one is her limited team compositions that utilize her Outro buff. Cantarella buffs Havoc damage and Skill damage when she leaves the field, and there is currently no character in the game that utilizes both at the same time. This puts her in a strange spot: being a character you can pull now, though, she cannot fully use all of her buffs for anyone in the roster. Jinhsi is her best teammate thanks to her coordinated attacks. Cantarella's niche with Jinhsi is already filled by Zhizhi, who is able to accomplish all of the same feats. Camellya has quite a few limitations too, being a character who needs to stay on the field, therefore, her best teams require characters with fast Concerto rotations (Sanhua, Verina). Swapping her out early also has consequences for her DPS, as Camellya's self-buffs require her to remain on-field. However, Camellya's damage output is so high that she can easily serve as a main DPS anchor. This alone makes Camellya a higher value pull than Cantarella. Camellya vs Shorekeeper Image via Kuro Games Shorekeeper is an exceptional support unit, offering a mix of powerful crit buffs, damage boosts, and healing that can significantly enhance a team’s overall performance. Unlike other lower-end supports in the game who focus on sustain, Shorekeeper actively increases a team's offensive potential, making her an ideal choice for players looking to boost their damage while surviving. She slots into almost any team composition, making her a highly valuable pull for players who need a reliable, well-rounded support. Meanwhile, Camellya remains a dominant on-field DPS, but she lacks the versatility Shorekeeper provides. While her damage potential is immense, she demands specific team setups that cater to her selfish nature and extended field time. Shorekeeper, on the other hand, fits into various teams. Who should you pull in version 2.2? Image via Kuro Games Overall, if your account lacks strong support options, Shorekeeper will provide more immediate value, whereas Camellya is the better choice if you need a hard-hitting carry. Cantarella is, honestly, the third option. While she is Brant-like in versatility, she doesn't fit into any teams exceptionally well, and her best teammate currently does not exist in the game. I recommend skipping Cantrarella unless you just want a new character to play around with. Cantarella might be a better pull in the future.
