Wuthering Waves is a free action RPG for iOS, Android, and PC. MeinMMO presents a few tips that you should consider at the beginning.
What is Wuthering Waves? Wuthering Waves is a free action RPG that strongly resembles Genshin Impact to many players. Both games offer a large, open game world and rely on an aggressive gacha model for monetization.
MeinMMO introduces you to the best tips if you have just started with the action game.
Don’t waste currency on the standard banner
Asterit is the premium currency that you can either buy with real money or collect in small amounts within the game. Simply put: Wuthering Waves finances its aggressive gacha system with Asterit.
Especially at the beginning, it may be tempting to spend your earned Asterit on the standard banner to draw characters, but you should be frugal with it.
Those who have played a gacha game like Genshin Impact or AFK Journey know: In the first days, you will be showered with rewards and premium currency. This is mainly to keep you engaged and entice you to stay in the game. However, the amount of rewards drastically decreases after a few days. After a few days, you will only receive tiny amounts through daily quests and small events.
Therefore, you should save your collected Asterit for limited-time banners with exclusive characters and weapons, as the standard characters will always be available and become less significant more quickly. Typically, exclusive characters are among the best figures in the game. At the current time, the developers are giving away any free 5-star character to all players.
Unlock and complete dailies as quickly as possible
All service games now rely on a battle pass and daily tasks. There are also very strong rewards behind these in Wuthering Waves. For completing your dailies, you get Union experience points and a decent bonus of Asterit, which you need for the banners. You unlock the daily activities once you successfully complete Act 3, Chapter 1.
Even though the open game world of Wuthering Waves can be very tempting: First, play through the main story until you unlock the dailies and can collect your rewards daily. After that, you can focus on exploring the game world.
Use Wavesplates efficiently
Waveplates is the resource you need for certain activities and progress. This is consumed but recharges after some time and is very reminiscent of the resin in Genshin Impact.
Especially at the beginning, you should use your energy purposefully and not randomly engage in activities. Prioritize important tasks like Tacet fields and simulation training, depending on which resource you need most for leveling up your characters.
Increase your Union Level as quickly as possible
The Union Level in Wuthering Waves reflects your progress and power in the world of Solaris-3. You can compare this most closely to the adventure rank in Genshin Impact. Increasing your Union Level has all sorts of benefits and rewards:
- You unlock new features, areas, and powerful rewards through the Union Level.
- The coop mode is also locked behind a union level.
At the beginning, you should aim to quickly increase your Union Level. This is best done with the main story, but you can also gather many experience points for the Union daily through the dailies.
Some very good ways to increase the Union Level are:
- Daily activities (1,500 Union EXP)
- Quests (150 to about 2,000 EXP)
- Using Wavesplates (450 EXP per use, 500 for the first time)
- Drawing characters or weapons (10 to 40 EXP per draw, EXP depending on rarity)
- World bosses (450 EXP, 500 EXP for the first time)
- Completing a Tacet field (450 EXP)
- Weekly bosses (450 EXP)
- Milestones (100 EXP per milestone)
Note that we do not guarantee completeness. In the future, more activities will be added that will give you experience points for the Union.
Collect every Echo wherever you can find them
Echoes are equipment that can be equipped to your characters and provide a whole range of enhancements. Each Echo is also associated with a skill that ranges from simple damage to team enhancement. These values are determined randomly.
In Wuthering Waves, every enemy in the game world has a chance to drop an Echo. The problem, however, is that this only happens randomly. You need not only luck for an enemy to drop an Echo but also for it to have good values. This is also what makes the RNG system appealing but consumes a lot of time because you can’t farm systematically.
Basically, it is advisable to collect all Echoes you can find every day. Later, you can also convert the Echoes into better versions. However, you will need to gather enough parts for that. Since the enhancements and bonuses of the Echoes are worthwhile, you should defeat every enemy that crosses your path in the game world.
