Wuthering Waves Hiyuki’s ascension and forte materials, release date, element and weapon

Whether you are looking for Hiyuki’s ascension or forte materials in Wuthering Waves or want to know the release date of her banner and other such details, I’ve got you covered with this guide.

Hiyuki is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Resonator who was unveiled by developer Kuro Games on Wednesday, March 25, via their usual social media drip marketing.

Soon after that, the entire WuWa community has been frothing over her character design and overall vibe (I am talking about myself and putting it on the community).

So, for these players, I prepared this guide that covers everything you need to know about Hiyuki. From basic details to materials and other such things.
