In Wuthering Waves, you can select a 5-star character that you want to receive through the “Beginner’s Choice Convene,” the beginner banner in the game. You can read here who is the best starter character for you. Three of the characters are particularly suitable for beginners.
What is the Beginner’s Choice Convene? It is the beginner banner in Wuthering Waves. With it, you can choose one of a total of 5 different 5-star characters, which you can pull once. This character will then be secured for you within 80 pulls.

You have the following options available:
- Jianxin
- Calcharo
- Verina
- Lingyang
- Encore
How do I access the Beginner’s Choice Convene? As soon as you unlock the gacha system in the game, you will find the “Beginner’s Choice” next to the event banners. After you have obtained a 5-star character here, this banner will be replaced by “Beginner’s Choice Convene,” and you can specifically pull for one of the 5-star characters.
If you are not sure who to pull for in the Beginner banner, we have listed the best three starter characters and their strengths here.

Who should I pull for in the Beginner Banner?
Depending on what you are looking for for your team, one of the following three characters is particularly suitable for the Beginner banner:
Calcharo

- Attribute: Electro
- Weapon: Broadsword
With him, you have a strong DPS right from the start, targeting individual enemies. Currently, he is also the strongest Electro character in the whole game. Moreover, he is quite easy to play, and even as a beginner, you can deal decent damage with him.
Verina

- Attribute: Spectro
- Weapon: Rectifier
If you are looking for good support, Verina is the best choice from the Beginner banner for you. She is currently the best universal buffer and healer for your team in Wuthering Waves.
However, keep in mind that she is not really suited as a DPS and shines more as a support in the long term. So, if you want to start the game with more attack power, one of the other two characters would be the better choice for you.
Jianxin

- Attribute: Aero
- Weapon: Arm Armor
She gains what is called Chi through her attacks. She can then use it to heal her team or equip shields.
She is thus a true multitasking talent, with which you not only have a good DPS, but also a healer and shielder for your team at the same time. In addition, her ultimate is currently the best in the game for crowd control.
In the end, however, you should not only go by strength in your selection, but also choose the character that you like best in terms of gameplay and appearance.
