Wuthering Waves Iuno release date, banner details and more

 


Who Is Iuno (aka "Luno")?

Introduction & Release Timing

  • Iuno, the Priestess of Septimont, is a newly revealed 5-star Aero Gauntlet character set to debut in Phase II of the Version 2.6 update—around mid-September 2025. The update itself is scheduled for release on 28 August 2025, with Augusta debuting in Phase I and Iuno following afterward. 


Lore & Role

  • Serving as a trusted advisor to Augusta, the Ephor of Septimont, Iuno is known for her decisiveness and ability to foresee the future through lunar observations. Her name and design evoke the Roman goddess Juno, fitting Septimont’s aesthetic themes.


Gameplay & Kit Highlights

  • Element & Weapon: Aero attribute; Gauntlets weapon type. 

Signature Weapon—Moongazer’s Sigil:

  • 5-star gauntlet with base ATK ~500 and 36% Crit Rate.

  • R1 effect: +12% ATK; casting an Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation gives +20% Resonance Liberation DMG for 15s. Acquiring a shield lets her ignore 7.2% of an enemy’s DEF per hit, stacking up to 5 times, refreshing every 0.5s. 


Combat Flow: Activating Moon-based Lunar Cycles:

  • Half Moon Domain: Gains the Moonring to auto-attack targets and charge Forte Gauge.

  • New Moon State: Transforms the ring into a Moonbow to fire powerful arrows, delivering bonus damage and healing allies.

  • Resonance Liberation: Instantly activates Lunar Cycle and restores gauge; under certain conditions, switching her into battle can trigger a Full Moon Domain—boosting allies’ damage and healing them. 


Strategic Role

Iuno clearly fits the sub-DPS/support category:

  • She provides healingshielding, and AoE utility, making her valuable in team support compositions.

  • Her mechanics suggest strong synergy with speedrun and survivability builds, offering cooldown reduction and mobility buffs. 


Summary: Why Iuno Stands Out

  • A visually elegant and lore-rich Aero Gauntlet character with celestial themes.

  • Offers healing, shielding, and utility through a moonlight-driven skillset.

  • Her launch will follow closely behind that of Augusta—expand your strategy options mid-update.
