Good day , it's me again bringing you all a somewhat comprehensive Wuthering Waves Beginners Guide - Sharing you whatever thingies you need to know to survive week one of this game. Hopefully you'll be entertained and enjoy the things I will be sharing with you all today. If you're a new player finding information about the game (and didn't care that the game went through multiple closed beta testing before launch...), you've come to to the right place!
As per usual, I do these things without being affiliated monetarily with any companies, content creators, website owners or even the mods of this subreddit. I, like you, am a community member of this subreddit and I'm just sharing some beginners guide as I have been doing before:
So, please don't accuse me for anything weird or wtv, I do these things because I enjoy gacha games and I love writing stuffs on the internet for free *Shocked Pickachu Face*. Plus, it's great to help fellow gamers out (our community can use a little more positive vibes ya!)
(headquartered in Guangzhou, China.) is the game's developers and publishers. Previously they made a different gacha game by the name: Punishing Grey Raven (also known as PGR).
It's a cross platform gacha game - A waifu simulator character collecting game
A role playing adventure game with an open world setting/aspect
Hack and slash game but with extra steps - we'll get to that later
Wuthering Waves is a story of resilience set in a vast, post-apocalyptic world. A cataclysmic event called the Lament ravaged the Earth, leaving behind a shattered civilization and unleashing monstrous creatures (It's like Fallout but on steroids). Humanity, however, has shown its indomitable spirit. Pockets of survivors have emerged, adapting to this new normal and rebuilding their lives with the aid of mysterious new technologies.
The narrative centers on the enigmatic Rover, who awakens from a long slumber with no memory of their past (). Driven by a sense of purpose and guided by whispers of a forgotten past, the Rover ventures into the unknown (If I had amnesia and woke up in the middle of nowhere I would piss my pants). Their journey is one of exploration, self-discovery, and perhaps even holding the key to unraveling the mysteries of the Lament.
Who was the Rover before? What caused the Lament? And what role will the Rover play in shaping the future of this fragile new world? These are just some of the questions that will intrigue you the player as you explore the depths of Wuthering Waves.
Wuthering Waves boasts a dynamic combat system that combines fast-paced action with strategic team building. This guide delves into the core mechanics, empowering you to master the battlefield.
Elemental Fury: Damage and Weapon Types
Six distinct damage types define combat:
Aero (Wind): Manipulating airflow like... The Last Airbender
Glacio (Ice): Ice goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Electro (Lightning): Yinlin best waifu!
Fusion (Fire): Fire!
Havoc (Dark): Destroy~
Spectro (Light): Shiny much. Wow.
Complementing these elements are five weapon types:
Blades: Large swords for sweeping attacks.
Swords: Agile blades for precise strikes.
Pistols: Long-range firearms for ranged dominance.
Gauntlets: Brawling weapons for close-quarters combat.
Rectifiers: Unique weapons with diverse functionalities.
Basic Combat Actions
Wuthering Waves offers a range of offensive and defensive maneuvers:
Standard Attacks: Unleash a quick succession of strikes.
Heavy Attacks: Charge your attack for a powerful blow (consumes stamina).
Midair Attacks: Strike foes while airborne (consumes stamina).
Resonance Skills: Activate your character's unique ability.
Dodge Counter: Counter an enemy's attack with a well-timed dodge.
Resonance Liberation: Unleash your character's ultimate attack.
Forte Circuit
The Forte Circuit defines a character's playstyle. Each character possesses a unique passive that enhances their combat capabilities.
Strategic Swapping: Intro & Outro Skills
Utilize Intro and Outro Skills for seamless team synergy. These skills activate upon switching characters, allowing for powerful combo opportunities.
Unveiling Potential: Inherent Skills and Resonance Chains
Inherent Skills are a character's passive abilities that provide constant benefits. Resonance Chains, the character skill tree, empowers you to enhance these skills and unlock new potential.
Evasion and Parry: Mastering Defense
Evasion allows you to dodge enemy attacks. Perfect dodges regenerate stamina, ensuring you remain agile. Parrying enemy attacks with precise timing stuns them, creating openings for counterattacks.
Echoes: Gearing Up with Captured Essence
Echoes are captured enemy essence that serves as your gear. You can acquire them by defeating enemies or farming specific stages. Each Echo has a rank, rarity, and cost, influencing its stats and equippability. The first Echo slot in your gearset becomes a usable skill, adding another layer of strategic customization. Gearsets offer two-piece and five-piece bonuses that enhance specific damage types or combat aspects.
In Wuthering Waves, character progression heavily relies on Echoes, just like equipment does in most gacha games. This guide dives into how the Echo system functions, its advantages and disadvantages, and how to manage your resources effectively to avoid future roadblocks.
No Stamina Gating! But There's a Catch
The good news? Unlike many games, acquiring Echoes isn't limited by stamina. You get them by defeating enemies in the Overworld, with a chance to snag their specific Echo upon defeat. This chance increases as your Data Bank levels up, reaching 20% at level 10. However, your Data Bank level also dictates the maximum Echo rank (rarity) you can find. We'll discuss that later.
Echo Abilities and Attributes
Each Echo boasts a unique ability that remains constant. For example, will always throw Firebolts. But Echoes also have attributes that determine their Sonata effect and, consequently, set bonuses. Additionally, every Echo possesses two main stats. While the first stat is random, the second depends on the Echo itself.
Leveling and Upgrading
Echoes can be leveled up, unlocking a new tuning slot every five levels. However, this doesn't apply to rank two Echoes, which are capped at level 10 and can't be tuned. Rank three and above can be tuned, gaining a random substat upon doing so. Rank five Echoes, maxed at level 25, can have up to five substats, which are random and fixed. This means you might end up with subpar substats or, if lucky, exceptional ones.
Echo Freedom and Cost Load
Resonators (the game's characters) can equip a maximum of five Echoes. The topmost slot determines the Echo ability, meaning you can only have one per character. The remaining four slots grant stats and set bonuses, which come in two and five-piece variations. This flexibility allows you to equip a powerful Echo ability while still achieving two-piece bonuses from the other slots. However, getting a perfect five-piece set with good substat rolls might be challenging and time-consuming in the final release.
Echoes also have a cost or load, and your maximum load increases with your Data Bank level (between 8 and 12). The total cost of all equipped Echoes can't exceed this load limit. Using a higher-cost Echo might restrict your build options for that character.
Ranks and Rarity
Ranks, or rarities, determine an Echo's base stats. For example, my Sabertooth has two versions – one rank two and one rank three. Although they share the same main stats, the rank three version has higher stats.
Upcoming Changes
The good news is that farming for Echoes isn't limited by stamina. However, you're restricted by the number of enemies on the map each day and boss respawn timers. On the flip side, leveling your Echoes requires Echo development materials, which are indeed stamina-gated. This suggests prioritizing leveling an Echo to level five and tuning it once before maxing it out. If the first tuning roll results in bad stats, you'll at least save some XP materials.
As of now, there are only nine Sonata resonance types, limiting set building a bit. However, the developers are planning to implement changes based on player feedback:
Easier Echo Acquisition: Expect to obtain Echoes through events, daily activities, and other means.
Echo Disposal: You'll be able to recycle unenhanced Echoes into random new ones of unlocked types.
Tuner Return: When using tuned Echoes for upgrades, a portion of the Tuners used will be returned.
Improved Substats: Minimum substat rolls will increase, and the range of possible results will narrow.
Auto-Equip Optimization: The auto-equip function will be improved.

Getting Started:
The game starts with a short movement and combat tutorial. Don't worry if it feels overwhelming; there's more to combat explained elsewhere.
After defeating the second guardian, you'll unlock exploration and chest-finding opportunities. These are great ways to acquire resources and learn the world.
Focus on the Main Story Quest: It guides you through essential areas, unlocks features, and grants valuable Level EXP (your account level). Your account Level is crucial because it unlocks higher-level content stuffs.
Really Basic Stuffs in Layman terms:
You start with Rover, your main character. Other characters (Resonators) are acquired through the gacha system (duuuuuhhhhhhh).
Echoes are gear (Read above).
Throughout your journey, collect materials to upgrade your characters and weapons.
The Dreaded Loop
Follow the Main Story Quest: This remains the best way to level up quickly and unlock new areas.
Complete Daily Quests: These become available at Union Level 8 and offer easy rewards for a small daily investment of time.
Prioritize Side Quests: Especially Exploration Quests, as they grant Union Level EXP and unlock new map sections.
Claim Free Resources: Check the store's level-based bundles for free goodies, and utilize the free tier of the Battle Pass for additional resources.
Spend Your Daily Energy: and slowly get FOMO and addiction with this game.
Do End-game contents
There are three primary end game modes in Wuthering Waves:
Tower of Adversity: Similar to the Abyss in Genshin Impact, players progress through floors defeating enemies within a time limit. It's a mix of skill and character strength. Rewards include premium currency and character upgrade materials. This mode resets monthly.
Tactical Hologram: This is the most challenging mode, featuring boss fights with significantly enhanced versions of bosses encountered in the main game. Difficulty scales with rewards like character shards and premium currency. Mastering dodging and perfect gameplay is key. This mode offers repeatable challenges.
Death of Elusive Realm (Depth of Elusive Realm): Inspired by Honkai Star Rail's Simulated Universe, players progress through stages collecting buffs that significantly power up their characters. This mode allows experimentation and lets players turn healers into powerful DPS characters. Rewards include passive buffs and upgrade materials. This mode seems to operate on a cycle and might offer character rotations in the future.
General Tips:
Focus on building a strong main DPS character for most end game content. Please don't build ALL the characters you got. Build one team at a time. LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE!!
Consider re-rolling for Verina for team synergy.
Share weapons and Echoes between characters in Tower and Hologram modes. This is because each chamber is separate, allowing full HP/ult recovery and gear sharing.
Understanding the Fundamentals:
Resonators (Characters): Your waifus characters, each with a unique element (Fire, Water, Wind, Spectral) and a set of skills: Intro, Outro (activated when switching in/out), and Concerto. Build a team of 4 with complementary strengths.
Element Synergy: Combining characters of different elements unlocks powerful Concerto Effects. These effects provide offensive or defensive buffs based on the element of the character you switch in and out of battle.
Resonator Roles: Consider these key roles when building your team:
Damage Dealer (DPS): Focuses on high damage output.
Damage Support: Enhances your DPS's damage through buffs, debuffs, or elemental reactions.
Sustain (Healer): Provides healing for your team.
Tank (Optional): Draws enemy attacks, protecting your more fragile characters.
Building Your Team:
Balanced Approach (Early Game): A well-rounded team typically consists of 1 DPS, 1 Damage Support, and 1 Sustain Resonator, all with different elements.
Advanced Strategies (Later Game): Explore specialized teams like:
Elemental Focus: Maximize Concerto Effects by focusing heavily on one or two elements.
Double DPS: Utilize two strong DPS characters for maximum damage output (risky as it sacrifices defense).
Free-to-Play Friendly Team (Early Game):
A strong F2P team with readily available characters looks like this:
Main Character (MC): Flexible element, can be built as DPS or healer.
Yangyang: Strong energy generation and potential sub-DPS.
Baizhi: Free healer, valuable for early content.
Team Building Considerations:
Individual Skills: Analyze a Resonator's skills (Intro, Outro, Concerto) for synergy with your team strategy.
Element: Does the Resonator's element fit your desired team composition and Concerto Effect goals?
Cost: Consider resource investment. Prioritize building your core team first.
Additional Tips & Resources:
Upgrade Resources Wisely: Focus on upgrading your core team members before investing in others.
Experiment and Adapt: As you progress, adapt your team to conquer new challenges and suit your playstyle.
Team Composition Flexibility: Don't be afraid to experiment with team compositions beyond the "meta." Play who you enjoy!
Synergy is Key: Focus on building teams where characters complement each other's skills (e.g., buffs, off-field damage).
Support Categories: Distinguishes between direct buffers (buffing the next character) and indirect buffers (buffing the entire team).
Godlike Reroll Team or $$$ Team on Day-1
A team designed around Yin Lin (DPS):
Team-member 1: Calcharo (works well with Yin Lin).
Team-member 2: Verina (great team buffer, but other options like Baiji exist).
If you don't agree with my Team Comps above, please show me your ideas. You can DM me a link to your build with a helpful tool by go and . Because uh... I believe it's going to be LIGHTNING META BABY!!
Here are some Youtubers I can recommend covering Wuthering Waves:
(Prepares compact guides without any useless words)
(Spend 100+ hours playing the CBT)
(Dude needs a rest... He been working hard all year long...)
(Always creates 2 gaming accounts - One F2P and P2W. Proceeds to do guides based on his findings, tests and etc.)
You'll need a Pokedex for your Echoes - Use this tool . Seriously, it's no biggie if you choose not to but... You'll understand why I recommend this once you start playing the game yourself.

Like, OBVIOUSLY there are a ton of issues with things like Neopass that ideally would've been sorted out before deploying, that's a given. But I'm just feeling myself constantly wanting to defend what I imagine is a scant handful of folks in their first jobs out of college working remotely on 25 years of inherited technical debt
Plus the (much needed imo) perspective that like....literally all of this is going to shut down. Not tomorrow necessarily, but the brand overall is either going to have to undergo a massive infrastructure migration and lose a bunch of legacy features (which was like....attempted and then abandoned by past management, creating even more issues), or just shut down. And there are absolutely no protections for users when their 20 years of compiled digital assets just disappear so none of us would actually be entitled to anything, and I'm sure that shutdown has been seemingly imminent MANY times over the past decades. Not even Twitter has been able to turn a profit in its entire existence and Neopets is still somehow trucking based on ad revenue and $0.75 jpeg purchases
And at the same time some things I'm like "ooooooh, rookie mistake."
Anyway don't be too mean to TNT and don't be mean to waiters and baristas and at the same time advocate for yourself as a user and customer!!!! Everything is on fire and we all return to dust
I'm going to go answer 5000 emails about why MY site is down even though I sent 15 reminder emails about scheduled maintenance. Cheers

Crazy Ones is a waifu harem game released in CN and it recently released the new Chapter 11 in the main storyline, which received a lot of negative backlash from the playerbase due to unsatisfactory plot elements such as a scene at the end of the chapter where the male MC kneels down and begs to a male antagonist in order to save his sister. The developer quickly responded to the complaints and rewrote the offending scene.
They also announced that many problematic elements in previous chapter would also be rewritten, detailing specific problematic scenes and how they would be revised:
A day later, they again apologized and announced that the writers at fault had been fired. Since they always had trouble hiring writing talent, they decided to take a different approach: directly recruit writers from the playerbase. They are now holding a writing competition where players can write and submit plotlines related to the game universe and win cash prizes. There is also potential for an employment opportunity with an annual salary of up to 500k yuan (~$69,000).
TLDR: Waifu game received backlash for newest chapter, devs apologize and announce that they will rewrite a lot of things and directly invite players to participate in writing plotlines with potential offer of employment
