Gacha System
Wuthering Waves uses a gacha system as the primary way for a player to obtain new Resonators and Weapons. It is generally the only way to obtain the highest rarity Resonators and Weapons.
Convenes
Convene is what Wuthering Waves calls its gacha banners. To roll on the gacha or convening, you will need to use either Astrites, the gacha currency, or Tides which are the gacha tickets.
Astrites and Tides can be obtained from various in-game sources as missions, events and certain shops.
- You can exchange 160 Astrite for either 1 Lustrous Tide, 1 Radiant Tide or 1 Forging Tide.
- Lustrous Tides are used on the Novice Convene, Character Permanent Convene and Weapon Permanent Convene.
- Radiant Tides are used on the Character Event Convene.
- Forging Tides are used on the Weapon Event Convene.
You can obtain the following from Convening:
- 3★ Weapons
- 4★ Weapons
- 5★ Weapons
- 4★ Resonators
- 5★ Resonators
Stars denote the rarity of the Resonator or Weapon. The higher number of stars, the higher the rarity (and the more difficult) it is to obtain.
4★ Guarantee: If a player does not obtain a 4★ Resonator or Weapon after 9 Convenes, the 10th Convene is guaranteed to be a 4★ Resonator or Weapon. This counter resets every time a player obtains a 4★ Resonator or Weapon.
Oscillate Corals and Afterglow Corals
Oscillate Corals and Afterglow Corals are in-game currencies that are only obtainable by convening. They can be used in their respective exchange stores to purchase Tides, Wavebands, upgrade materials, and other resources.
You can get Oscillate Corals by obtaining a 3★ Weapon from convening. Each 3★ Weapon will give you 15 Oscillate Corals.
You can get Afterglow Corals by:
- Obtaining any 4★ Weapon:
- 3 Afterglow Corals
- Obtaining any 5★ Weapon:
- 15 Afterglow Corals
- Obtaining a duplicate 4★ Resonator:
- 1st to 6th duplicate: 3 Afterglow Corals and 1 Waveband of that Resonator
- 7th duplicate onwards: 8 Afterglow Corals
- Note that you will not receive any Afterglow Corals when you pull a 4★ Resonator that you do not already own for the first time.
- Obtaining a duplicate 5★ Resonator:
- 1st to 6th duplicate: 15 Afterglow Corals and 1 Waveband of that Resonator
- 7th duplicate onwards: 40 Afterglow Corals
- Note that you will not receive any Afterglow Corals when you pull a 5★ Resonator that you do not already own for the first time.
Wavebands
Using the Afterglow Coral you can purchase up to 2 Wavebands (dupes) for any of the standard 5★ Resonators:
This includes the current Event character, but they cost more Afterglow Coral to buy.
