Phorlova is a Havoc DPS character introduced in Wuthering Waves 2.5. She is a unique character who uses a rectifier as her weapon, and her main damage output comes in the form of Echo damage. Phorlovo’s kit is made to be a powerful main damage dealer, and she can also double as a main damage dealer with proper team comps.
Building Phorlova takes some patience because her echo set is somewhat hard to farm, and her materials can only be obtained after completing many story acts. But here is everything you need to know pre-farm or efficiently upgrade your Phorlova.
Phrolova Ascension Materials Per Stage
Phrolova’s main boss material is the Truth in Lies, dropped by Fenrico, a weekly boss located in Lumen Tower. Her region-locked overworld item is Afterlife, which can be gathered in Fabricatorium of the Deep, mainly within the Fallen Grave, Shards of the Beyond, and Anima Cradle.
The third material type includes Polygon Cores, dropped by elite enemies and echoes from Rinascita and related Forgery Challenges.

Farming Tips & Optimization
- Polygon Cores: Best farmed via elite echo enemies or Synthesis from lower tiers. Use echo filters in your Data Bank.
- Afterlife: Found around the Fabricatorium of the Deep, prioritize areas like Fallen Grave and Anima Cradle.
- Truth in Lies: Farm the Fenrico boss weekly. Use waveplate-boosted runs if available.
- Helix Echoes: Complete Forgery Challenges in Rinascita and synthesize excess pieces to hit rare drops.
- Weekly Boss (Hecate): Costs 60 Waveplates. Prioritize when planning Forte upgrades past level 6.
