Updated on January 1, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah : Wuthering Waves is soon entering the 2.0 era, and many 5-star Resonators have been added since the initial release. In total, there are seven new characters who are released after Jiyan, resulting in a total of 15 5-star characters as of WuWa 1.4. Due to the many missing units in the article, this piece has now been updated to include everyone before Rinascita is released in version
Both Calcharo and Xiangli Yao are practically free characters to an extent, so it’s unfortunate for Calcharo that Xiangli Yao is much better than him. Unlike Calcharo’s unforgiving rotations and frequent interruptions, Xiangli Yao is much easier to use and more forgiv
Verdict: While the early-game meta is prone to change, players aiming for an early advantage in endgame content should prioritize obtaining Verina, with Encore and Calcharo being secondary options. That being the case, if players are only looking for one of these characters to obtain, they should not need to spend as much as time with rerolling, as they can pick any of them for their Beginner Convene after the first 50 pulls are comple
As mentioned earlier, players may spend considerable time creating new accounts, particularly if they aim for Jiyan through limited pulls. However, if Jiyan isn’t the priority, players should be able to obtain their desired characters within a few rerolls. This is because, at the game’s launch, F2P players will likely have more access to standard pulls than limited banner pulls. Here’re all the quick steps (spoiler-free) for reroll
This weapon’s effect is only slightly weaker than Abyss Surges’, but is a bit more difficult to maintain. However, Hollow Mirage has ATK% as its secondary stat, which will greatly increase Lingyang’s damage compared to other 4-star Gauntl
Calcharo is an all-rounded main DPS that can deal DMG with any of his attacks. His DMG is considered notably high, especially when he enters his Ultimate state. However, Calcharo is more tame in AoE situations and shines better in single-target DMG ones. Although he was the top-tier Standard Banner option when WuWa was first released, he got powercrept by other strong DPS, earning him a low spot on the l
Given that 5-star characters in standard permanent banners typically do not remain dominant in the meta for long, as seen in other similar games like Genshin Impact , rerolling is generally not worth it for most players in the long run. There is also no guarentee that players will be lucky with their pulls for their most desired characters in the upcoming patches, considering the low early pity rates. Nevertheless, if players are keen on obtaining Jiyan, the first limited banner character, within 10-20 pulls, rerolling might be worth considering. It is also worth noting that, it is not worth rerolling for weap
While each player should play the game at the pace they enjoy, increasing Union Level quickly has its advantages, as this will allow players to unlock plethora of new features, areas, quests and rewards, as well as the co-op function , allowing players to progress much faster and efficiently, and reach end game quicker. This means, at early stages, players should channel their efforts into primarily completing main quest whenever available and other than that undertaking side missions that give large Union EXP, spend waveplates and explore as much as possible on the way as they spend their time in the g
Yinlin is a prime example of an off-field DPS. She has excellent AoE DMG and provides great Liberation DMG and Electro DMG buffs for DPS like Xiangli Yao. Sadly, her teams aren’t as strong as the meta Jinhsi + Zhezhi pairing, which causes her to not claim any of the top ranki
Lingyang is a 5-star Glacio Resonator in Wuthering Waves . As a member of Jinzhou’s Liondance Troupe, Lingyang fights as an embodiment of the lion, pairing fierce martial arts with lithe movements. Lingyang’s playstyle favors aggressive offense while dodging at the last mom
Zhezhi is one of the strongest off-field DPS in Wuthering Waves . However, damage is not the only thing she does. First, all of her hits are considered Basic Attack, making her easy to build as she simply must focus on Basic Attack
Asterite is the premium currency that fuels the gacha system. While it may be tempting to spend Asterite freely on the standard banner for character pulls, especially since Novice banner has an early guarentee , however exercise restraint and strategic foresight. In the beginning, players may think there is an abundance of this resource, but overtime it becomes significantly less as players finish quests, and exploring. Players should save their Asterite for Freehand Circle Achievement limited-time banners featuring exclusive characters and weapons, as the standard characters will come in good time, as well as lose their prominence quicker. This wapproach ensures optimal utilization of players resources and maximizes their chances of obtaining limited characters, especially for those interested in playing the game as a
