2. ⚔️ Hiyuki's Kit, Role, and Attribute Analysis
· Dual-form characters typically bring entirely different attack sets, new abilities, and sometimes new mechanics to the game.
· Hiyuki is expected to be released as a 'Glacio' attribute 'Main DPS' character, wielding a 'sword' as her primary weapon.
· This marks the arrival of a long-awaited Glacio DPS, as there hasn't been a new Glacio 5-star character since Carlo in version 2.0, over a year ago.
· Given the rarity of Glacio attribute characters, Hiyuki is expected to hold immense value upon release and is considered a high-pull-value character.

3. 🗓️ Release Date and In-Game Teaser Predictions
· Wuthering Waves' 2nd-anniversary event is scheduled to take place immediately after the 3.2 version update, specifically during the 3.3 version update.
· Phase 1 of version 3.3 is expected to be released in late April, around April 29th.
· Since the game was originally launched in May, anniversaries will always fall between April and May.
· The 3.3 anniversary patch is expected to feature two new 5-star characters, with Hiyuki likely being one of them.
· Developers typically tease the next character in-game 1-2 patches before their release, so we can anticipate Hiyuki's appearance in the 3.2 update quests.

4. ❄️ Anticipated Gameplay and Team Synergies
· One speculation about Hiyuki's gameplay is 'sword wave attacks'. In her dual form, she might gain long-range attacks, sword slashes, and wide-area attacks.
· She is likely to be a 'burst-oriented DPS' rather than a sustained damage dealer. This means she would quickly accumulate damage to unleash large burst damage.
· A Glacio burst DPS could be an optimal choice. The revamped Glacio debuff in version 2.8 applies stackable Glacio stacks to enemies, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. Higher stacks increase damage, and at max stacks, enemies can be frozen, opening a window for massive damage.
· This mechanism could further enhance Chisa's value.
· The anticipated team composition is as follows:
· Hiyuki is considered a strong candidate to be one of the game's top premium characters.
