In Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Rebecca was never the main character, yet she became the one fans could never forget. A small figure carrying oversized weapons, with unwavering loyalty to her crew. Now, she’s coming to Wuthering Waves — and she’ll be completely free.
Kuro Games has officially confirmed that all Rovers will be able to claim Rebecca for free through the Version 3.4 collaboration event, with no pulls or gacha resources required. In this guide, we’ll cover her background, combat role in-game, how to unlock her, and smart resource planning tips for Version 3.4.

Version 3.4 Banner Schedule & Release Date
WaWu Version 3.4 banner is shaping up to be the biggest crossover update Wuthering Waves has ever had. Based on previous patch cycles, here are the key estimated dates players should keep an eye on:
The first-half banners of Version 3.4 will introduce the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration characters Lucy and Rebecca. Lucy is expected to be a limited 5-star main DPS, while Rebecca can be obtained for free through the event.
The second-half banners will feature the original 5-star character Rosaria, rumored to be a Glacio sub-DPS designed specifically to synergize with Feixue teams. Since collaboration characters currently have no confirmed rerun plans, the Wuthering Waves 3.4 banners may be the only chance to obtain them.
Who Is Rebecca? The Mad Dog of Edgerunners
Rebecca is one of the veteran members of Maine’s crew in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Small in stature but armed with overwhelming firepower, she charges into battle laughing like a maniac — reckless, fearless, and often the most dangerous person on the battlefield.
After her brother Pilar died, Rebecca replaced her cyberware arms with even heavier upgrades and carried even bigger weapons, continuing to fight on the front lines without hesitation. She loved David in her own way, but never crossed the line, and in the end, she was the one who helped send him back to Lucy. Even when facing Adam Smasher, she never took a single step back.
What makes Rebecca even more interesting is that she wasn’t part of the original script. Studio Trigger insisted on adding her despite internal objections, and after the anime aired, she quickly became one of the most beloved characters in the entire franchise. She even received her own prequel manga, MADNESS.
She was never the protagonist — but for many fans, she’s still the first face they remember after finishing the anime.
Rebecca in Wuthering Waves — Role & Kit Overview
Rebecca Basic Info
Rebecca’s Core Playstyle: Dual Stance Combat
Based on current leaks, Rebecca’s combat revolves around cycling between two different stances. Hunter Mode focuses on rapid pistol fire, building resources while increasing Crit Damage. Iron Guts Mode switches her into a shotgun-style burst attacker capable of partially ignoring enemy defense. The two stances are linked through her Resonance Skill, creating an extremely fast-paced combat loop.
Her core mechanic revolves around building Hot Hands stacks. Once triggered, the effect “Kids choose. Adults take them all!” grants buffs from both stances simultaneously, opening a powerful burst damage window.
After casting her Resonance Liberation, Rebecca summons a machine-gun turret that continuously attacks enemies while also providing a team-wide damage amplification buff. If Lucy is in the party, she can instantly gain maximum stacks, making their synergy especially strong.
Faithful to the Anime
Rebecca’s animations and skill naming appear heavily inspired by Cyberpunk: Edgerunners itself: the dash-into-shotgun engage, running machine-gun spray attacks, and chaotic explosive finishers all feel like scenes taken directly from the anime.
She's Free — Here's Exactly How to Get Her
Rebecca will be distributed for free to all Rovers through the Version 3.4 collaboration event, with no Astrites or pulls required. The exact unlock method has not yet been officially revealed, but this article will be updated immediately once the 3.4 livestream confirms the details.
Based on Wuthering Waves’ previous free 5-star event — Xiangli Yao in Version 1.2, who was unlocked by completing event objectives and earning points — Rebecca will most likely follow a similar event mission structure rather than simply being given through login rewards.
As a collaboration-exclusive character, Rebecca is unlikely to receive a rerun in the future. Combined with the fact that she is only the second free 5-star character ever released in Wuthering Waves, she’s absolutely worth claiming even if you’ve never watched Edgerunners.
Is Rebecca Good? Burst DPS Breakdown
Let’s get straight to the point: for a free 5-star character, Rebecca looks extremely strong.
Based on current leaks, Rebecca is designed as an Electro burst sub-DPS focused on quick-swap gameplay. Her ideal rotation revolves around entering the field, rapidly dumping skills, summoning her machine-gun turret, and immediately swapping out. Her Resonance Liberation provides a team-wide damage amplification buff, while the turret continuously grants additional Heavy Attack damage bonuses during its duration.
Fast-paced, easy to play, and highly flexible, Rebecca is already considered one of the strongest free characters leaked so far.
Her biggest strength is the exclusive synergy with Lucy. According to current information, when Lucy enters the field immediately after Rebecca’s Resonance Liberation, Lucy can instantly gain maximum stack effects, dramatically reducing her setup time. The two characters also share a unique “Edgerunners Bond” synergy bonus, making them one of the highest-ceiling dual-DPS pairings in Version 3.4.
If you plan to pull for Lucy, Rebecca is practically a must-build teammate.
Even without Lucy, Rebecca should still perform well in many Heavy Attack-focused teams thanks to her universal Heavy Attack damage buffs.
Her main weakness is her high Resonance Liberation energy cost (125 Energy). Swapping out too quickly may interrupt her ultimate rotation, so Energy Regen stats will likely be an important priority when building her.
Best Weapons & Echoes for Rebecca (Predicted)
Rebecca’s signature weapon, Bonebreaker, is expected to be her best-in-slot option. However, for a free character, several lower-cost alternatives should still perform very well.
Recommended Weapons
Recommended Echo Sets
For main stats, prioritize Crit Rate or Crit Damage on your 4-cost Echoes, ideally aiming for roughly a 1:2 ratio. Since Hunter Mode already provides bonus Crit Damage, Crit Rate becomes comparatively more valuable and should generally be prioritized first.
For substats, focus mainly on Crit Rate and Crit Damage, while adding enough Energy Regen to maintain consistent Resonance Liberation uptime.
Best Team Compositions for Rebecca
Rebecca’s biggest strength is her ability to amplify Heavy Attack damage, which naturally defines the kinds of teammates she works best with.
Team 1: Edgerunners Dual-DPS Core (Best Overall)
Rebecca and Lucy share the exclusive “Edgerunners Bond” passive synergy. When Lucy holds Rogue Bond stacks, Rebecca’s turret can instantly trigger maximum stack effects, massively increasing Lucy’s Heavy Attack damage output and creating an extremely smooth quick-swap rotation.

Team 2: General Heavy Attack Team (No Lucy Required)
Even without Lucy, Rebecca still provides strong universal value for nearly any Heavy Attack-focused DPS character, making her one of the most flexible sub-DPS options currently leaked for Version 3.4.
Team 3: Free-to-Play Friendly Team
This setup is ideal for players with limited resources, allowing you to build a functional team without needing additional pulls.
How to Prepare: Pre-3.4 Checklist
Rebecca herself is free — the real preparation comes from farming materials and saving resources ahead of Version 3.4.
1. Save Astrites
If you plan to pull for Lucy, it’s recommended to prepare at least enough resources for a guaranteed pity. If you also want Lucilla, you’ll need additional budget planning for the second-half banners.
Since Rebecca is free, all of your Astrites can safely be reserved for Lucy or Rosaria instead.
2. Pre-Farm Rebecca Materials
According to current leaks, Rebecca’s ascension materials include the overworld plant Forget-Me-Not. Her skill materials require defeating the weekly boss Denia for “We Who Question”, while her core ascension materials reportedly come from the Nameless Explorer world boss.
Some of these materials can already be farmed in advance.
3. Farm Echoes Early
Pistol users generally prioritize Electro-oriented Echo sets. Recommended main stats include Crit Rate, Crit Damage, ATK%, and Energy Regen.
Even before Version 3.4 launches, it’s worth farming transitional Echo pieces with decent baseline stats.
4. Stockpile Shell Credits & EXP Materials
Shell Credits are usually the biggest bottleneck when leveling characters to 90. It’s recommended to prepare at least 1.5–2 million in advance.
You should also save enough character EXP materials to fully level at least two to three characters.
5. Complete the Collaboration Event Early
Rebecca’s availability will most likely end together with the collaboration event itself. It’s highly recommended to finish the event as soon as possible after Version 3.4 launches instead of waiting until the final days.
Final Verdict
Rebecca is an incredibly difficult character to skip.
She’s free, strong enough to stay relevant, and comes with exclusive synergy alongside Lucy — from a pure account progression perspective, there’s almost no reason not to build her.
For longtime Edgerunners fans, the collaboration’s faithfulness to the anime already looks impressive. For Wuthering Waves players, Rebecca feels like a genuinely valuable free 5-star character rather than just a promotional giveaway.
