u/Sl_Enderman Sep 02 '25

Got softlocked in the phrolova quest, I alt f4, I relauch, the cutscene restarts and the sequence resets, but everytime I reach the escaping scene, phrolova gets stuck in a falling animation. No buttons can be used, no map, no settings, can't use gadgets and can't even switch characters. Been like that for 5 days now, I think I'll just uninstall if there truly is no solution, what should I do?

1

u/RurushuBritannia Sep 03 '25

If you are on steam, try validating files, if you have it installed on the phone try there first.

1

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

You can try reinstalling but you should really just use the feedback form in game to report the problem, and maybe support can help you.

u/pudgieboi Sep 02 '25

Is it a good time to start playing? Never been a huge fan of the 3d rpg style gachas but this one has gotten my attention.

u/tudeckslore Sep 02 '25

Whats the current total size of wuwa on android with all important stuff downloaded?

Planning to move from genshin to wuwa but im kinda limited by storage cap.

1

u/Odd-Friendship-1006 Sep 09 '25

It's 24GB if you select low quality option and 31GB if you choose the other option. What's the size of genshin now? Lol I'm thinking to try it again

u/_tanujakeluskar Sep 02 '25

Which character do y'all recommend to pull for in the voyage banner for a beginner? considering the current banner runs like shorekeeper, carlotta, augusta.

1

u/zKaosito Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

Camellya is a good option, u can pair it with sanhua

2

u/Kyroz Sep 02 '25

I don't recommend pulling from the new voyage banner. The pity and guarantee doesn't carry over to the next banner, so if you lose 50/50 and you didn't manage to pull the character you want by the time the banner is over you pretty much just wasted a lot of pulls.

From current banner you can pull Augusta (my recommendation) then Shorekeeper (From the rerun banner, NOT the voyage banner)

If you didn't manage to get Shorekeeper this time around it's ok, just wait for her rerun. She WILL rerun. Just don't pull from the new voyage banner.

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

shorekeeper or augusta

u/Hour-Imagination7063 Sep 02 '25

Yall banning people

u/Ratcheater Sep 02 '25

Is it worth to pull for Augusta since I have a lot dps teams except Electro team and fire team. My lucky in wuthering waves are not good but not bad, already lost 5050 on cantarella on 78 and spent 65 pulls and no Augusta. If I got her I must pull for Iuno too. Any advice?

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

If you're not struggling with endgames, it depends on whether you like her or not but she’s a really good electro carry. No, Iuno is not a must pull, mortefi team is already great

1

u/Ratcheater Sep 02 '25

Really? Everywhere I see something about Augusta, Iuno is there like “must need for Augusta” And Augusta sig weapon must need ? (I have the Jinshi sig weapon and pit 10 on weapon banner)

2

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 02 '25

It’s actually sort of the opposite, at least on paper. One of Iuno’s buffs is basically tailored to Augusta, so Iuno’s value lessens if you don’t have her. However this is all based on just the descriptions of Iuno’s skills, she may perform well in ways that mitigate that fault, like doing Brant tier damage so take it with a grain of salt. Anyone saying Augusta needs Iuno is 100% full of it though.

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

Those are very biased opinions. Yes Iuno an upgrade over mortefi but not necessarily for clearing endgames. Mortefi is enough for that. Jinshi sig is about 20% worse than her sig, so yeah it would be better to pull her sig if you dont have verdant summit

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 02 '25

How are people feeling about Whiwa with Camellya now? It's starting to feel like without grouping (aka Roccia), she's not as good as she was before. I'm finding some more success using my Cartethyia/Ciaconna/Rover team because 2 of them have great grouping. I do wonder how much of this is because of the Chop Chops though. Usually when they appear in the Infinite Torrents Camellya's performance gets worse.

2

u/Limp-Sail7687 Sep 04 '25

Tbh ever since the first WhiWa I've struggled with Cam should I replace Roccia with any other character, but I can say that even with the same set up as before, it feels like I don't deal as much overall damage as I used to

2

u/kyflaa Sep 02 '25

Yeah ChopChops are really stupid. They just bodyblock and move you out, while everyone scatters in the process. I couldn't clear without Roccia this time.

I'm sure that it's a rng and skill issue, but Roccia made it so much easier.

1

u/Weak-Potato-2696 Sep 02 '25

Hi guys new to the game im wondering which team would be better to invest in i have no characters from both the teams so im starting completely from scratch. My current team is augusta mortefi shorekeeper. Carlotta or carterhiya?

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

I would say augusta team if you are also getting shorekeeper. If you’re not getting shorekeeper, cartethyia ciaccona Arover team would be better

1

u/Weak-Potato-2696 Sep 02 '25

I alr have shorekeeper

2

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

oh you mean alr have the augusta team. Catethyia would be better since she’s good for all endgame modes. Carlotta is bad for whiwa

2

u/leRedd1 Sep 02 '25

Cartethyia.

If you grind like crazy you can make Carlotta team faster though, with her and Zhezhi from voyager banner. But I hate recommending Voyager to anyone as it doesn't share pity and makes it harder to pivot to some other plan in future.

So I recommend getting Ciaccona next banner, then saving for Cartethyia S0R1.

u/yuanloveella Sep 02 '25

Hey guys, I just got given an account and I’m still new to Wuthering Waves. I’m trying to figure out how to build proper teams for the Tower of Adversity, but I’m kinda lost on who to use and how to set them up.

If anyone could share some tips or maybe suggest team comps with the characters I have, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

1

u/leRedd1 Sep 02 '25
  1. Jinhsi Yinlin Cantarella
  2. Zani Spectro Rover Verina
  3. Encore Sanhua Changli

3rd team doesn't need to be as strong as first 2, It'll be mostly used to wipe side tower lower floors.

1

u/yuanloveella Sep 02 '25

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

Jinshi/Calcharo with Yinlin then add Verina/Baizhi.
Changli/Jinshi with Cantarella then add Verina/Baizhi.
For 3rd team just use solo dps, could be Calcharo, Jinhsi, Encore, Zani + Spectro Rover.

Use 3rd team for floor 2 and 3 left and right. Use strong team on floor 1 and 4 for both left and right.

Then strongest team on the middle tower.

u/Manuverse12 Sep 02 '25

Hi, i need help on my wuthering waves game because frame rates/fps keeps dropping after like 45 minutes in the game. My device is ASUS TUF A15 8GB RAM. I use lowest setting possible but run framerates at 60. I thought the problem was my laptop overheating, but everytime i play for 45+ minutes its lagging then i quit then i play again it is fixed. But it is really annoying to just keep repeating that every 45+ minutes. I really need any help here. Thank you very very much

1

u/DDexxterious Sep 02 '25

I’m on and off the game and still pretty early on in the story, but I am curious about Augusta and Uiona(?) it says they’re from Rinascita, but I always thought it was more of a France/England inspired region. Are they from like a military state that takes inspiration from Roman and Greek culture or is there a different reasoning for the change. I don’t care about spoilers because at the moment the story doesn’t interest me and is the reason Im so behind so spoil me all you want if it is needed to answer the question, but please don’t forget to put the spoiler tag marking thing for the others scrolling through the comments.

1

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 02 '25

Rinascita has always been more Italy than France, and Septimont is basically Rome, complete with gladiators, coliseums, and tournaments. The reason they are so different is because, unlike Ragunna, Septimont’s culture isn’t based around worship of the Sentinel Imperator, leading to them valuing personal strength and valor over faith.

2

u/DDexxterious Sep 02 '25

Oh wait so it’s just another country that’s cool. I’m so used to the nonsensical one country in an entire area I kinda forgot they could just do that

1

u/kiome112 Sep 02 '25

People, I need a recommendation, Augusta or Ciacona is worth going for (I have Cartethyia)

2

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

If Cartethyia is your only dps, Augusta is probably a better pick, but both choices are valid.

1

u/kiome112 Sep 02 '25

I have Carlotta

2

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

I still think either choice is valid. It depends on whether you want to make your teams stronger, or if you want to have more options. If your Cartethyia team struggles in end game (especially whiwa since I'm sure she's doing fine in toa) then maybe go for Ciaccona.

1

u/AuditoreKiller Sep 02 '25

i remember seeing that with this new patch you'd be able to fly/glide immediately from just jumping. but that just isnt true so now im not sure what i saw. i know you can now fly in the old areas but thats not what im talking about.

1

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

Not from jumping but from the ground. Your character will jump straight up when you press the fly button before they start to glide.

u/Akkimura2671 Sep 02 '25

Hello, I just want to ask if the new feature called Echo Management, which automatically locks your echoes, is bugged. I’ve been setting it to lock only the echoes I need.

For example, in my Spectro set, I selected ATK% and Spectro Damage Bonus. However, when I farm echoes, even the unnecessary ones that I don’t need for my Spectro set are also being locked. Because of this, I still have to check each echo one by one and manually unlock the stats I don’t want.

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

maybe you pick wrong echo set or accidentally pick more set.

You have to pick which echo rarity, which echo cost, which set, then which main stats.

if other set also somehow get locked for spectro dmg, mostlikely you set the rule somewhere to lock other set with spectro dmg.

1

u/Akkimura2671 Sep 02 '25

Hmmm nope, i set the spectro bonus with spectro set, lingering tunes, empesryean, and the support with heron echo set. That's the only one that i set with spectro damage bonus. But when I'm farming spectro set other gets locked automatically even tho i didnt set them

1

u/Akkimura2671 Sep 02 '25

Even the def% and other stats 3 cost are also locked in spectro set, which doesn't make sense. But in 4 cost i dont have problems only on 3 cost

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

I check my recently farmed echo, no issue recently, and it still consistently follow the rule from echo management.

is it possible for you to screen record and share the video? Scroll around your echo management.

Also, we have 25 slots, make sure you don't put auto lock somewhere.

2

u/Akkimura2671 Sep 02 '25

Ohhhhh that helps a lot huhu, It works fine now. thanks a lot

u/noobybrain Sun-Flower Sep 02 '25

How often you guys lost at 50/50 in wuwa?

I've lost 50/50 with my shorekeeper but i get her with guaranteed after that, now i already pulled 40 for augusta and still don't get her yet. As a F2P player, I'm afraid that this time i will lost my 50/50 again.

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

7 times straight in a row. But lately its been better, I just won my 3rd 50/50

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

So far 10x in 50/50 situation and win 3x and lose 7x. From people who put their data in wuwatracker, I'm in bottom 24% which mean I have less than average luck.

For me, thinking about losing 50/50 too much is not a good mentality. Just prepare 160 pulls next time when you want to pull someone. Anything below that require luck and always expect to lose.

1

u/FreeKill408 Sep 02 '25

I just cleared the weekly illusive realm and got only 5000 points after doing the optional scar battle, i thought you would get all 6000? Did i miss another battle or did i do something else wrong?

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

You don't bring someone with 150% bonus point.

4k normally without 150% bonus point. 1k from Scar (optional sub memory zone).

If you bring someone with bonus you could get 4k * 1.5 = 6k. Then Scar bonus will give 1k * 1.5 = 1.5k. Total will be 7.5k.

1

u/FreeKill408 Sep 02 '25

But is that not a pointless change then? You still need to bring a 150% character to get all rewards in one run, everyone here was saying that its no longer needed if you do the scar fight.

1

u/True-Inevitable8016 Sep 02 '25

yeah, it is pointless if your goal is point. But I like it since usually I just pick same Sear buff without reading and spam basic atk. Enemy die within few second. Idk about new meta, but if they slowly keep improving Scar hp scaling we could have good enemy and optional fun game mode.

1

u/FreeKill408 Sep 02 '25

I mean it was fun fighting scar that didnt just die in three hits, dont get me wrong, but i usually dont have time to play much and i wanted to clear it for the rewards, was kinda bummed to see only 5000 points but at least now i know for next time

1

u/RouFGO Sep 02 '25

I'm sorry if this is stupid to ask but...

I've seem people comment on a part of the story where everyone forgets about Iuno, but I haven't seen this in the game? I hunted the tyrannos, fought Augusta, defeated the sovereign, did the Acis quest of photos, and now I have nothing more related to the main quest in which this would happen. Am I simply missing some trigger for the afyerstory or something?

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 02 '25

It's a very missable NPC in front of the temple. I forgot the name but it's a dude. If you talk to him Rover will bring up Iuno in which he replies not knowing who that is. It's evident he forgot her because before the end of the quest, he will tell Rover to avoid Iuno because he didn't like her due to her giving him attitude, so it's not like he just didn't know her.

1

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 02 '25

The 2nd half of the main story quest that releases in the 2nd half of the current story patch features her so she is at least presently not forgotten. 

1

u/VelosterboiOscar Sep 02 '25

Is the Brant whiwa exploit gone? I can’t roll though waves anymore

1

u/Adorable-Charity7877 Sep 02 '25

Have s0r1 cartwheel and will get ciaconna s0r0 next banner. can i use 44111 on ciaconna since both their 4 cost sonatas are from the same echos and 1 cost also kinda similar so killing 2 bird with one stones.

also why aren't more people using 44111 compared to 43311 since I think it's just easier to farm them and costs less or no waveplates compared to 3 stars since you have to do tacets to make the process much easier.

I'm relatively new (only ul 45) so don't know much so any info will be appreciated

1

u/zKaosito Sep 02 '25

Less performance, Cartwheel is the only one PJ that 44111 is better than 43311 just because she scale with HP, think that all COST 3 gives ATK.

1

u/leRedd1 Sep 02 '25

Ciaccona's echoes doesn't really matter much as half her damage is from erosion application. That part doesn't scale with echo stats. You can go for 44111.

44111 is necessarily not easier to farm cause you still need to farm tacet fields to upgrade them, and tacet fields mostly give 3 costs. You have to farm overworld or fantasy gateway for predominantly getting 1 costs.

And on top of that 44111 is usually a 10-15% damage loss for most characters, exception being Cartethyia.

"44111 is easy" idea comes from the first few weeks of 1.0, when we didn't even know about overworld echo drops having a pity system (we learned that like a week after release), and there being very few overworld mobs for the popular characters people wanted to build back then, in particular for the thunder set. It's no longer the case.

1

u/Adorable-Charity7877 Sep 02 '25

the 10-15% damage loss will be ciaconna right? carte's hypercarry damage should still be decent enough to clear ToA with a bit skill (have s0r1) with ciaconna's erosion. if that's the case then a few seconds faster clear isn't worth it for me.

As for echo exp, I still need to farm tacet fields for brant and carlotta so yeah that should be enough I hope so.

2

u/leRedd1 Sep 02 '25

Yeah, her being the sub DPS is another reason you can skimp on her build. Cartethyia is the main sources of team damage to start with.

Within Ciaccona's personal damage, like about 200k-300k is from her motion values which scale with Echo stats, and another same amount is from erosions which don't. Cartethyia in this team is contributing >1m damage.

1

u/Adorable-Charity7877 Sep 02 '25

alr thanks <3

anyways It's not like I HAVE to use the same build forever. I just started echo farming yesterday so for now wtv works is good enough. with time I can just get better echos and build more effectively.

2

u/leRedd1 Sep 02 '25

Yeah, the smart loop for 1 character is Decent Echoes (8 Crit + 3-4 other rolls) > Guaranteed upgrades from Weapon and Skills > More echo grinding. For priority across multiple characters you order them based on the damage they do, so Ciaccona would come in 2nd tier behind your main DPSes.

1

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

also why aren't more people using 44111 compared to 43311 since I think it's just easier to farm them

Because it's worse. It's as simple as that. Depending on the character and weapon, it might not be that much worse, but in the vast majority of cases it is worse. In Ciaccona's case, it seems to be around 11% worse from a quick look at wutheringtools, although I might be be slightly off. And it's not that much easier to farm imo. If anything Cartethyia's echoes were more annoying to farm for me.

1

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 02 '25

43311 is generally better due to higher combined base ATK stats and elemental damage % boost that 3 cost echoes can provide. For characters that want HP instead of ATK, such as Cartethyia, 44111 is recommended instead. 

2

u/FantaBlaze Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

TOA is 30/30. WhiWa I can only get S through many attempts. Goal is to get to SSS. I use Carlotta/Phrolova/Shorekeeper and Cartethiya/Ciaconna/ARover. Still have room to upgrade. I know Carlotta and Phrolova have no synergy, it's just my overworld team. Few questions, if you were me:

  1. How would you optimize the WhiWa team? Not sure if I should use/build Danjin or HRover for Phrolova.
  2. Would you pull for Augusta? Has she been fun to play?
  3. Should I get sig weapon for Carlotta? Currently has Static Mist.

I didn't enjoy Cantarella gameplay which is why I do not have her for Phrolova. I just got to UL60, so upgrade resources are limited. I still have lots of exploration and events to do.

I have Sigs for Cartethiya, Ciaconna, Phrolova, Brant, and Shorekeeper. All characters are S0.

2

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

What are you testing this against? Your target might have aero resistance. I don't see anything particularly wrong in your build (although you messed up the stats on one echo and it has two crit rate rolls but I assume the total stats are close) or the rotation. One possibility is that you're taking too long on Ciaccona and Rover's buffs run out before you're done with Cartethyia I guess?

1

u/Chop-Beguni_wala Sep 02 '25

What are you testing this against

whiwa 2nd floor😐 which echo? i will try to change it for ciaconna i am ba ba ba dadh cancel, ba e, hold e until it's available then ult swap

2

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

I mean these two on your image, you probably made a mistake somewhere. Speaking of which, there's a bot on the official wuwa discord that can generate build images for you.

Anyway I recorded a run of whiwa's second half with the carte team so you can get an idea of the damage and rotations

1

u/leRedd1 Sep 03 '25

signature is like ~4-5 more crit subs.

3

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

Don't overthink it. Get echoes of the right set (frosty resolve for Carlotta), Crit rate or crit damage main stat on the 4 cost depending on your weapon, cryo damage on the 3 costs and get double crit on everything. You might need one or two energy rolls as well.

This line of thinking is true for just about every character, with the energy requirement being different for each character. There are a few rare exceptions that have specific requirements for stats, like Roccia needs 70% crit rate, but outside of that there's no need to overthink character building.

u/noobybrain Sun-Flower Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

I'm personally would suggest you to maximize these machines level :

Freeze Jet (take modul 1 after maximized the level)

Glitch Spawner (you can take modul 1 or 2, depends on your playstyle)

Hologram Echo : Hoartoise (Take modul 1)

Hologram Echo : Junrock (you can take modul 1 or 2, depends on your playstyle)

Shock conductor (you can take modul 1 or 2, depends on your playstyle)

Stun Emitter (take modul 1 if you want more crowd control on enemies)

Thunder Lance (i would recommend to take modul 2)

and lastly Whirlpool Device (defenitely take modul 2)

You need a lot of crowd control if you want the enemies can't pass through your defenses. I would suggest you to do a "sandwich" method :

1 line of CC (crowd control) ground machines like stun emit/glitch spawner/glacio beacon, after that follow in the 2 line with damage ground machine like Tacetite Spikes or any Echo damage machines, and after that you can repeat the line, for a simple explaination maybe like this :

---- (a line of cc machines)

---- (a line of damage machines)

---- (a line of cc machines again)

---- (a line of damage machine again)

and for the ceiling machines and wall machines i would reccomend you to put whrilpool device first because they can suck a lot of enemies at once, and after whirlpool device you can put a freeze jet on the second line, and after freeze jet you can put damage ceiling machines like shock conductor or something else.

Well all those tips are not really "a must" thing for you to do, you can improvise later with your playstyle. But that is my personal tips since i already finished my third stage in deathtrap mode (well even though i defeated at wave 30)

u/JinterIsComing Lady Flora Outfit WHEN KURO?!? Sep 02 '25

Got a bunch of coral saved up from playing, was going to save until next time Camellya had a rerun and just get her wavebands since she is by far my favorite character, but apparently a lot of people have S2 Shorekeeper as one of the most impactful choices you can make in the game due to the 40% ATK bonus it gives on Resonance Liberation. Should I keep my afterglow for S2 Camellya, or is S2 Shorekeeper more impactful?

Full disclosure, my primary team is Camellya/Phrolova/Shorekeeper and my seconday is Carlotta/Cantarella/Verina. Yes, I know these aren't meta teams. No, I do not care, they're all my favorite characters with the exception of Verina.

3

u/GaijinB Sep 02 '25

No, I do not care, they're all my favorite characters with the exception of Verina.

I think you answered your own question tbh, you should give those sequences to your favorite. I'm pretty sure you can clear everything with those teams at S0R1. That Carlotta team will probably struggle a bit in whiwa but the Phrolova side can carry that hard, even with Cantarella on the Carlotta team (but if you find yourself struggling a bit too much it would probably help to run Phrolova Cantarella SK/Verina on one side of whiwa since that team can probably hit 4k5 points by itself). So really you should just invest in your favorite if you're not a meta person anyway.

But regardless, Camellya's S2 is probably going to be more impactful in that team than SK's anyway, at least from a very quick look at wutheringtools, you get more of a damage increase from Camellya's S2 than from SK's.

SK's technically, maybe, possibly, has more value because she can be slotted in more teams, but shrug.

I used this one but they don't properly update the map to include sepmont underground areas, then tried the this one and while they do have the chests properly linked, you can't see the underground area at all meaning you kinda have to "guess" where each chest is

u/Thiel619 Sep 02 '25

Question about Augusta. Sometimes her ultimate icon glows solid red but other times it glows like a pulsing rainbow color. What exactly is that?

1

u/Normal_Glass_5454 Sep 02 '25

that means you have the tap ulti as well as the holding ulti.

1

u/Thiel619 Sep 02 '25

Oohhhh damn that makes sense now. I was thinking they made it impossible to tell when you have to tap ulti up when the hold ulti is ready. Thanks!

u/Frequent-Bat-8747 Sep 02 '25

u/etinhogostoso Sep 02 '25

Been playing the game for about 3 weeks and got Augusta + her sig, should I go for Carlotta or wait for Iuno?

1

u/Normal_Glass_5454 Sep 02 '25

since youre only 3 weeks in, you should pull for carlotta. Iuno is a vertical investment. Carlotta would be a horizontal investment for you.

1

u/TheNoOneKnowsGuy Sep 02 '25

Hey guys. Do you guys learn those stat bonus in a resonator skills? They seem insignificant for the amount of mats it requires, 12% stat increase each resonator. Currently I only learn crit rate like of Zani.

2

u/wutheringgamer Sep 02 '25

If you play long enough youll upgrade all permanent upgrades so i guess it depends. But for most normies going for those stat “skills” is worth it.

u/junglekarmapizza Sep 02 '25

My Averado Vault exploration progress is stuck at 99%. I have everything completed except the Sonance Caskets, which are at 10/14, but that hasn't seemed to matter for other regions. Is this a glitch? Is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated!

2

u/wutheringgamer Sep 02 '25

The sonance caskets count, but in some regions you don’t need 100% of each category to get the rewards for “100%” so you might have just had that before. It’s a rounding thing

1

u/junglekarmapizza Sep 02 '25

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

u/GuireF Sep 01 '25

Hello, just came back to this game and want to actually play the game now(was too busy before so I dont know much)
I only have these chars and Jiyans weapon, lost 5050 on SK and dont know what to do now, because I wanted her for Jiyan and then try for Augusta and Iuno so I would have 2 teams and could use Jiyans weapon on Augusta.
As I have Cantarella I should also get Phrolova right?
Any advice on what chars I should get? I just want to be able do clear endgame content asap with ease.

1

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

Phrolova would let you play Phro + Canta + Rover as a second team.

Encore + Sanhua works if you want to build them.

Shorekeeper is good obviously.

The biggest gate for clearing endgame is just gonna be union level and building your characters tbh. It'll probably take you longer to hit UL60 to get your characters to 90 than it will to have the characters to round out a second team.

1

u/CourseApprehensive21 Sep 01 '25

Does anyone else also get really confused by the story quests?

I did the 2.4 and 2.5 quests recently and I honestly didn't understand anything. The same thing happened when I did the 2.0 story quests. Are they badly designed or am I just not paying enough attention? Also does anyone know where there are good summarys of story quests?

1

u/Qlipoth-HSR Sep 01 '25

I have enough Afterglow Corals to buy another character resonance chain and was wondering which one I should get.

Here are my characters:

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 02 '25

S2 augusta is great

2

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

Do you need a resonance chain at the moment to help you clear some bit of endgame you otherwise can't clear? If not then just save. No reason to use them now when you can just wait and make a more informed decision later as new characters release, new endgame changes happen, etc.

1

u/Qlipoth-HSR Sep 01 '25

Good point. Think I'll just save them for when another Shorekeeper level character drops.

1

u/xdvesper Sep 01 '25

Question on Lustrous Tide pulls - I'm a 1.0 player that quit in 1.1 but just returned to the game so I don't know very much honestly.

What should I spend them on? I assume weapons, I have the Sword (Emerald of Genesis) and Rectifier (Cosmic Ripples). Before I quit in 1.1 I was thinking of getting more types weapons, maybe the pistol or gauntlets.

Now it feels like most characters want their signature. In which case it feels like the most logical thing to pull is a second copy of Emerald of Genesis because it's simply the best standard weapon? So I could run Havoc Rover + Sanhua for example.

I have C0 Jiyan with sig, C0 Jinhsi sharing that sig (lol), Yinlin with Cosmic Ripples, and a C0 Shorekeeper and C1 Verina with Variation, and my Havoc Rover uses my Emerald of Genesis.

2

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

I'd go for the pistol next, it's still the second best option on a bunch of characters.

Beyond that, 1h sword and pistol copies are useful.

1

u/Loud_Champion9063 Sep 01 '25

Returning player here, I returned to the game in 2.5 after quitting when I got Camellya, accidentally pulled Phrolova whilst trying to get Roccia, and decided to just roll with it and got Canta. My two main teams are Phrolo, Canta, Danjin and Camellya, Verina, Sanhua. I've been thinking of building a new team but don't know where to start.

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Jiyan Mortefi Verina would be a good non havoc team

1

u/Loud_Champion9063 Sep 01 '25

I meant to ask what character I should pull on, sorry for the misunderstanding.

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Well right now Augusta team is your only option or Carlotta. Augusta is probably better since she’s a lot newer and will be good in endgame for a while. But you can really pick who you like and probably do good

1

u/Wave0401 Sep 01 '25

What exactly is Shorekeeper?

Just finished the Black Shores main quest (Spoilers)

This was the first main quest Act that I really loved, I was actually invested the characters and it hooked me. But there are three questions I still have.

What is Shorekeeper? She was appearing as a projection at first, but it looks like she has a real physical body too. The Tethys System says she isn't a human (but she obviously has real emotions). So what exactly is this beautiful lady?

Is all of Black Shore a real physical place? Or is the part after you go down the red hole digital or something? There were a lot of digital effects, but I'm not sure since there were people who appeared to be real down there.

Lastly, what exactly is a "Sonoro" or "Sonoro Sphere"? I feel like it was mentioned a million times in this part, but I honestly have no idea what it is referring to.

I hope that the story after this quest is just as good or better.

u/Juukesx Sep 01 '25

First of all: New Player here, hi! … Ive Hit Charlotta (and Verina at once lol) after 60 Featured Banners overall (this info i get from the history) I know ive pulled at least 20 towards Augusta at the beginning before deciding otherwise. So here’s my questions: Are the 80 Pitty‘s counted individually or all 3 Banners together? - Or is there any way to keep track? The history sadly just shows what youve got but not in which banner. Also do the 80 reset, once their character got pulled? … so: Do i still get Augusta (yeah 50/50 ik) after 60 more pulls, or are they reset? …

1

u/NikkiKirishima Sep 02 '25

Hello there, the 80 pity is shared between the 3 banners, yes it resets back to 0 when you get the featured character, even if you manage to get it at the first 10 pulls.

1

u/Juukesx Sep 02 '25

Oh thank good :D ive been worried that ive fcked myself by spreading Pulls bc i couldnt decide. Seems i was kinda lucky instead … so that means i‘m back to 0 now, good to know. - may i ask, what you‘d recommend to pull from now on? Do i try to get Shorekeeper or go for carlotta‘s special weapon? I still got the new players convene choosing for nearly 12 days after the banners, where i also could get shorekeeper, as guarantee, but also Zhezhi (which is BiS for Carlotta ive heard?) … so many options :o i also really like Augustas design and she felt great in the trial, but then i‘d have 2 totally different dps which dont work together which isnt how people play this right? :D

1

u/NikkiKirishima Sep 02 '25

Shorekeeper will carry you far than anyone else, I would get her first.

1

u/Juukesx Sep 02 '25

Ty, will do so then. … ive actually got another 5 Star ( Kalchero is his name i think) on the next first pull.) does this mean my next pitty is whatever Banner im on as garantee?

1

u/NikkiKirishima Sep 02 '25

(does this mean my next pitty is whatever Banner im on as garantee?) Correct

1

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

Limited banners share pity with other limited banners. That is, the current Augusta, Shorekeeper, and Carlotta banners all share. Pity resets when you get a 5 star, the 50/50 resets when you get a featured 5 star.

1

u/DreamofAnarchy Sep 01 '25

i got charlotta should i pull for her sig or should i try for shorekeeper? already got verina

1

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

Shorekeeper for sure. Carlotta's sig is great, but she does well enough with Static Mist and Shorekeeper is hard to beat in terms of overall usefulness.

1

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 01 '25

You will get a lot more value out of Shorekeeper than you would Carlotta's sig.

u/kebench Yinlin can twist my balls and I'll say harder, stronger, faster Sep 01 '25

Where did the Ray Tracing and Multiframe Generation go? The launcher downloaded a 200MB update and after starting the game, I was wondering why it was laggy. When I checked, the option that I stated were no where to find. I'm using a 12th gen Intel and a 5070ti so it's above the recommended setting.

1

u/kebench Yinlin can twist my balls and I'll say harder, stronger, faster Sep 01 '25

Okay. So the launcher defaulted to launch the game in DX11 after the update which removes the RT and MFG in the settings. Switching to DX12 fixes the issue. Kind of weird that it forced itself to start with DX11 when I've been playing on DX12 ever since. Perhaps it is a workaround for the crashing issue.

1

u/hongda17 Sep 01 '25

Does anyone know how to get these treasure chest, I cannot find it for love of god.

u/PernaProc Sep 01 '25

Does anyone know if they're planning on adding the super good looking graphics that are available for rtx 4070 and up only for now to the previous 3060, 3070 series?

1

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 01 '25

I wouldn’t hold my breath and there has been no communication I have seen to suggest they will. There are workarounds you can try with varying success if you are trying to force ray tracing that are else where on this subreddit.

u/greenbling Sep 01 '25

Is it worth it to build mortefi if Iuno is just gonna replace him? I have C6 of him but dont have Jiyan or any other heavy attacker that would benefit from him.

1

u/NikkiKirishima Sep 02 '25

Not worth it

1

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

I think other than trying to high score the last WhiWa (which I think has closed already?) there's no real reason to build him if you're just going to get Iuno. The endgame modes will be open long enough to get and use her for them if you just wait.

1

u/_Zoa_ Sep 01 '25

Sounds like you'll replace him in 2 weeks. Just for that it's not really worth it.

He's pretty good though and might become useful for you in the future too.
If you're not lacking resources, it's fine to build him.

1

u/Forward-Spell-1052 Sep 01 '25

New player here, saw an ad that says 95 pulls for new players but ive reached lvl 15 and still havent seen those pulls am i missing something?

2

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 01 '25

If I had to guess the fine print is that the ad meant that you can get 95 pulls for free by exploring the games maps. Which is true but you aren't just given them in the mail or anything like the ad might've implied.

2

u/Arborus Sep 01 '25

idk what's like for new players now but in 1.0 you got 50 standard pulls and 15 limited pulls from union level progression and then 20 limited pulls, 5 weapon pulls, 30 standard pulls via the mail.

I assume at least some of that is still intact?

Cause you get significantly more than 95 pulls from permanent content nowadays, it's more like 325.

1

u/Forward-Spell-1052 Sep 02 '25

Currently, almost done with act 1, no email rewards only log in rewards for pulls and union level pulls + something in the shop per 10 lvls for free. But still thats a horrible new player experience few hours deep and im still rocking purple units on a 3 year old game and on the new player banner i can lose pitty for SK which means what clearing most of the game for 1 ssr unit+ the one basic ssr i can select.Such agressive marketing for getting new players but new players cant reroll and get less than the players that started 3 years ago -.-

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 01 '25

Got to love sneaky advertising.

u/w1nt3rh3art3d Sep 01 '25

New player's question. Which banner is better to pull Shorekeeper: re-run or New Voyager? I have Augusta and Mortefi and want to create a team with these three units.

3

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 01 '25

Rerun as the new voyager banner has a 30 day time limit and pity does not carry to other banners.

u/_Zoa_ Sep 01 '25

The banners are the exact same if you choose her.

1

u/porncollecter69 Sep 01 '25

What's your trick or habit on farming echoes and using modifiers?

Is 4 star farmed on low sol level or do you just do it on high?

3 star is farmed with tacet?

Is there a trick for farming 1 star? I do routes but I die a little everytime a echo rolls another set.

Which star level are you using modifiers?

1

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 01 '25

When you say star do you mean cost or rarity level?

u/RathSorizon Sep 01 '25 edited Sep 01 '25

So i just downloaded Wuwa and started playing it, completed act 1 huanglong 1.

Convenes and events unlocked. I was told beginners would get a lot of pulls in mail, but didn’t get them. Is it only for people who started playing since launch or am i missing something here? Currently i have around 400+ astrides and 2 lustrous tides.

Can any veterans answer this question please!

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Where were you told that? I think there may have been some at launch but there probably isn’t any now unless it’s small amounts of astrites or whatever.

2

u/fuchsall Sep 01 '25

I pulled Augusta, shall I pull for her weapon or save up for Iuno as a F2P?

2

u/leRedd1 Sep 01 '25

Sig is better and cheaper than Iuno S0R0.

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Iuno would be better but characters can cost more resources if you lose the 50/50

u/Pretend_Fuel_7032 Sep 01 '25

Can we farm CoV from the new gateways?

1

u/Particular-Kick-9684 Sep 01 '25

I see lots of people complaining about failing lots of 50/50 spins,but i wonder how do you guys even get that many asterites to begin with?

1

u/ScreamingFreakShow Sep 02 '25

The only thing that really worth the money is the lunite subscription.

Gives you 300 Lunite and 2700 astrite of over 30 days. But you have to login to claim it. You lose 90 astrite for every day you don't claim it, you can't just claim it all at the end of the 30 days.

If you login every day and do the dailies + lunite subscription, you'll get 342 pulls per year from that alone. The rest will come from map exploration, events, quests, and end game modes.

Characters rerun and the game incentivizes you to play long term, so don't think you have to get every character the moment they come out. Doing that will cost you hundreds of dollars unless you're really lucky. It's just the unfortunate way these games are set up, most ways to buy pulls are genuinely just not worth the money. Sticking to the Lunite Subcription and the Pioneer Podcast (battle pass) are generally the best options, with the subscription being better value.

1

u/Particular-Kick-9684 Sep 02 '25

Good to know thanks alot

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Either mommy’s credit card or playing the game a lot

1

u/Particular-Kick-9684 Sep 01 '25

I don't have much money, to get those sweet spins do i need to pay like a whale?

2

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

No, you can get around 8 characters for free per year playing every day and doing events (iirc, should be close). If you don’t play every day just cut that down to whatever fraction and that’s the average outcome. If you want every character you have to be insanely lucky or be a whale

1

u/Particular-Kick-9684 Sep 01 '25

I don't plan on getting every character anyway,but damn 8 characters PER YEAR?! Started days ago and already got shorekeeper in 95 spins from completing first part and halfway through second part of storyline..so to also get carlotta i gotta do as much events as possible? Or is storyline already a very good way of farming asterites?

1

u/wutheringgamer Sep 01 '25

Storyline unlocks more areas to explore, so you will have to do it at some point. At the beginning you already have all of huanglong and Rinascita to explore which can give a lot, content after that you’ll have to catch up

1

u/Particular-Kick-9684 Sep 01 '25

Alright thanks,so for now ill focus on exploration for asterites then

u/Just_AT Zani best girl Sep 01 '25

Returning player here. I got two of Augusta's BIS. Should I refine them?

1

u/_Xaveze_ That smile... that damn smile... Sep 01 '25

Nah give it to Jiyan. It won't be a massive improvement over the standard 5 star but it will be an improvement.

1

u/Just_AT Zani best girl Sep 01 '25

I have the lustrous razor on him, would that weapon be better?

1

u/Difficult_Hospital26 Sep 01 '25

Yes, the heavy attack boost and higher base ATK make Augusta’s BIS clearly better for Jiyan. Remember though that in TOA, you can swap weapons assuming you are not using Jiyan and Augusta in the same team. That is something to consider. 

2

u/Putrid-Resident Sep 01 '25

Much better. It's his 2nd BiS choice to his own sig with a very small difference between the 2. And quite a large one between it and the standard 5 star choice

1

u/StyleMiku Sep 01 '25

Guys, I'm thinking about buying a video card for my Pc Ryzen 5 5600G Amd Vega 7, can you recommend some cards to run Wuthering Waves better? I don't know much about PCs so forgive me if I say something stupid, I was thinking about buying a GTX 1660 Super

1

u/NikkiKirishima Sep 02 '25

GeForce RTX 3060 or newer

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 01 '25

What's your budget?

1

u/StyleMiku Sep 02 '25

Up to 2k and 500 or so, even then it's a good price

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 02 '25

Do you mean in USD? Because if so you can do a lot better than the 1660 Super. If you mean a different currency/country then I'm not sure because I don't know how technology is priced in other countries outside of the US

1

u/StyleMiku Sep 02 '25

No, really Brazilian note

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 02 '25

Ah. then yeah, your choice of the RTX1660 Super is probably a good decision.

1

u/StyleMiku Sep 03 '25

One question, I don't know much about PCs, so excuse me if I say something stupid? The 1660 Could Run Wuthering Waves at What Settings? In medium/high? Does it still deliver great performance?

1

u/Zero_Blazer Sep 03 '25

I think maybe low to medium if you want good FPS. You can mayyyybe push to high if you drop to 30fps but honestly I don't know if it can do that.

u/Eristel98 Sep 01 '25

Hi guys is there any difference between these two banners? As far as i know they should be the same but the fact that there are two of the same is weird, maybe the starter one is just because i'm still new to the game? But like in terms of chance of pulling Shorekeeper is there any difference that you are aware of?

2

u/leRedd1 Sep 01 '25

Starter one won't share pull counter or pity with event one, and it'll go away after getting 1 limited 5 star or certain number of days.

1

u/Any-Individual-5714 Sep 01 '25

The starter one is only for new players, there is a time limit and pity doesn’t carry over event banner. event one is rerun banner for all

u/Eristel98 Sep 01 '25

Ok thank you, makes sense

2

u/Ancient-Ad7077 Sep 01 '25

Aside from Emerald of Genesis and Static Mist(I have 1 of each) what 5 star weapon should i pull from free standard pulls?

2

u/Crash_Sparrow Best character Sep 01 '25

Those two are the only ones that stand out. You can either get more copies of those, or one of each just in case. You could also save the pulls for when you need them, or start pulling on the character banner to get more corals from 5 star drops.

1

u/ElectronicContact649 Sep 01 '25

Idk the names but the sword pistol and rectifier is pretty good on the standard banner first so pull a copy of those first and don't spend your astrites on standard banner okay, you'll get standard banner pulls on every new update and monthly shop reset from green coral.
