Wuthering Waves employs a gacha system as the primary means for players to acquire new Resonators and Weapons, making it essential to understand the details of this system to maximize your pulls.
Here’s everything you need to know about the gacha system in Wuthering Waves.
Wuthering Waves Gacha System
The gacha system in Wuthering Waves is the central mechanic for obtaining high-rarity Resonators and Weapons. To engage in the gacha system, players must use either Astrites (the gacha currency) or Tides (the gacha tickets).
Astrites and Tides can be earned through various in-game activities, including missions, events, and specific shops. Players can exchange 160 Astrites for a single Lustrous Tide, Radiant Tide, or Forging Tide. Each type of Tide is used on different banners:
- Lustrous Tides: Used on the Novice Convene, Character Permanent Convene, and Weapon Permanent Convene.
- Radiant Tides: Used on the Character Event Convene.
- Forging Tides: Used on the Weapon Event Convene.
Wuthering Waves Convenes
Convene is the term Wuthering Waves uses for its gacha banners. Here’s a breakdown of what you can obtain from convening:
- 3★ Weapons
- 4★ Weapons
- 5★ Weapons
- 4★ Resonators
- 5★ Resonators
Stars ★ indicate rarities, with higher stars denoting rarer and more powerful items. A 4★ guarantee ensures that if a player does not obtain a 4★ item after nine pulls, the tenth pull is guaranteed to be a 4★ item. This counter resets each time a 4★ item is obtained.
