Ascendant aces - Wuthering Waves (WuWa) - Changli

In Wuthering Waves (WuWa), "Ascendant Aces" refers to a recurring event where players can test out specific resonators (characters) in a trial environment. These events allow you to experience a character's gameplay with fixed stats and abilities, giving you a chance to decide if you want to pull for them on their banners. The event typically features a selection of resonators, and rewards are offered for completing the trials, though these can only be claimed once per character.
For Changli specifically, she has been featured in an "Ascendant Aces" event tied to Version 1.1. Changli is a 5-star Fusion-element character who wields a sword and excels as a DPS (damage per second) unit. In her trial, players can explore her unique kit, which revolves around entering a "True Sight" state after specific actions (like her Resonance Skill, Intro Skill, or fourth Basic Attack). In True Sight, her attacks are enhanced—either dashing toward enemies with "Conquest" (ground) or charging as a phoenix with "Charge" (air)—building stacks of "Enflamement." At four stacks, she can unleash a powerful Heavy Attack called "Flaming Sacrifice," dealing significant Fusion damage.
The "Ascendant Aces - Changli, Baizhi, Taoqi, Mortefi" event, which occurred in Version 1.1 (around July 2024), included Changli alongside other resonators like Baizhi (a healer), Taoqi (a tank/support), and Mortefi (a sub-DPS). This event offered players a chance to try her out, likely during her debut banner phase, "Vermillion's Ploy." Completing her trial would have granted rewards such as Astrite and Advanced Resonance Potions, though exact amounts may vary by event iteration.
Since Ascendant Aces events are recurring, Changli could reappear in future iterations tied to her banner reruns. As of the current date, March 26, 2025, no active Ascendant Aces event is specified, but her past inclusion highlights her role as a standout DPS character worth testing. If you're looking for more details on her performance in the trial or how she compares to others in the event, let me know!
