10 Things Wuthering Waves Does Better than Genshin

with wering waves Clos beta 2 being launched we are finally able to see what the so-called genin killer is all about now I played the game for about 4 hours and I found out immediately some Stark differences between the two games let's go over the differences between genin and withering waves and which game has a better structure from the aspects of a beginner and an intermediate player before we get started keep in mind that this is closed beta test 2 so many things can and will change while this is currently the state of the game take these with a grain of salt I really doubt that much will get worse on release and you will only see improvements from what I'm about to mention here so keep that in mind one the movement I immediately noticed that the movement in this game is different and by movement I mean the climbing speed how the character interacts with the environment firstly climbing a huge mountain is very easy to do and won't take any time at all because you can actually just run up the walls I did get stuck on this one wall and was able to run forever which was pretty funny but climbing is actually pretty awesome in this game and you can still climb the traditional way of course and go slower in addition you know how when you use yon SAU Mona and IA you can get stuck on a random ass rock or something and even after they upgraded the movement system it still happens every now and then well in withering waves you were able to immediately just run over small objects and it looks very stylish when they do so I really appreciate the design and running so far and the best part every character has access to Vertical movement or a kaha e on demand withering waves actually has a use with its gadgets and a quick load out is already implemented to swap gadgets on the Fly you can use this rope to hop into the air every 10 seconds or so which is actually amazing you can use this in air as well and you can use it while you're gliding this is really fun to do there's also an air hop that you can do so when you're in air you can do more so an air Dodge once when you leave the ground which is really amazing here and swimming is so fast do you see this speed Immaculate I'm so wet I'm so wet as I Glide through this W number two fall damage in GHIN if you trip and fall off of a two-story building you're dead no if bands or butts in withing if you trip and fall off a canyon that is 100 m in the air and scream in fear as death looms right below you you tank the hit and survive with half health I really appreciate the fall damage being reduced as falling Ain was pretty annoying especially when you don't mean to fall number three you can skip the dialogue I think this is still in the works but you can indeed skip the dialogue it is finicky right now and doesn't always work but I have been able to skip a few parts all you got to do is just hold down the left click and you can can skip it it's insane how we strive for basic gaming rights in these Gadget games nowadays as every other game that I've played with except maybe Pokemon let you skip dialogue number four infinite stamina my biggest gripe in open World Games is that they limit stamina when I'm not in combat I'd like to be able to explore to my heart's content but they say hey you can't run a 500 km marathon without rest but in with you can outside of combat stamina regenerates instantly and running does not actually deplete your stamina dodging would deplete your stamina but you actually start regaining that stamina almost instantly in combat it is a lot more limited it's actually impossible to run out of stamina while exploring you also seem to regain stamina with perfect Dodges and I just remember in the early genin days thinking that stamina was a finite resource but in withering I only really care about stamina when I'm in combat comat that is a major plus five the four stars are good I haven't even gotten the five star yet and the four stars feel so good like you get this healer for free baji and she heals your entire party with her e and then she heals your entire party with her ult and she's just a standard healer with no drawbacks I can only imagine what a five-star healer will do despite me not having a five star I'm having a lot of fun with these four stars the mechanics behind them are complex and they feel like a genjin five star as far as mechanically I don't see any major downside to their kit like most c0 four-star characters get when they're released nowadays I was able to use a five-star briefly as in gun in a trial and man his combat with something else either way the four stars seem great off rip I'll get more into details about specific four stars in a later video number six the NPCs are not generic so far I've seen many different NPCs that just look different and unique I'm not sure if I'll eventually start to see Tepe number 98 but we will have to wait and see number seven you can pet animals yes you can pet dogs and cats for those of you who really cared about that nice feature I do hope it gets fleshed out because you don't actually pet them they do a cute movement when you click this pet option but still a step in the right direction eight the combat holy the combat in this game is immaculate firstly I'm not sure how this works yet but when you have a symbol over your character on the swap menu you swap to them and not only will you instantly warp to the enemy you and the character that you're swapping from will do a coordinated attack on the enemy it's kind of crazy as you can warp across the map and do this it's as if you know these characters are actually working together guess what else what I've been wanting for so long you can lock on to targets yes there's a lock on button and it's the middle Mouse button you can lock on to targets and not have to worry about random targeting isn't that just wow I I I honestly can't imagine that this is a feature in this game other than that the combat is smooth and complex for a beginner it could still be fun just Spam buttons bro but for those who really want to engage in this combat system there is a way to do so I still have to dive deep and really get into the mechanics of this game so stay tuned for a basic combat guide in the future each character has about six different unique things they can do all characters can plunge all characters do a heavy attack and each of these heavy attacks are actually unique normal attacks as well and they have an e skill and a burst and then you could just straight up summon a Pokémon it can seem over overwhelming but you know random go works too including the swap attack that's about seven or more different things at your disposal for each character it's just super satisfying when you play in the combat and speaking of Pokemon Pokemon you can catch monsters at a certain chance every monster is catchable and once you kill them you'll see a little shadow of them and then you can actually uh pull them into your Pokeball I guess this is called the echosystem and I was very skep iCal about the system at first but I actually like it a lot you can Farm your own equipment by hunting monsters I haven't run into a way to strictly Farm them just by itself using stamina but you're able to catch anything you kill at a certain rate a friend of M managed to get sus that I didn't and vice versa you can also use these monsters during combat and that's a plus they'll either be summoned alongside you or you actually transform into them to do a pretty big attack I'm waiting to get the one for Mobility these so that I can zoom across the map I'll explain the ecosystem more in a future video as well it's still pretty crazy that these are considered your artifacts and you can just kill monsters to get them the main stat and substats are random so that's going to be a pain of the ass but at least you can farm for them without stamina now that we've talked about the game let's talk about the gacha system because this is a major point and this is going to be number 10 so with the gacha system it's set up to be at identical to genin there's a 50/50 and the wishes cost 160 each that's about where the similarities end there's a newbie Banner where all of the pulls are discounted so while it's 50 pulls it's actually 40 PS and you're guaranteed a five star and as of recording you have three options I'm still on my way to get one of them so we'll have to see who I get and who I can showcase later now for limited characters of banners the hard pity is eight so I suspect that the soft pity will be around 65 pretty nice to save 10 PS for characters and guess what weapons are guaranteed there's no more 50/50 7030 2020 01 it's guaranteed you just get the weapon when you start Wishing on it that is amazing for weapons they have their own separate currency but this is kind of a good thing in the long run because of this here each month you get six of each types of wish that's amazing as you can literally just play the game and casually gain six weapon wishes per month and then eventually you can get yourself a weapon it's basically an extra eight polls a month daily so I'll take it the rates are also higher there is a 8% chance to get a five star on either weapon or character while the odds in genin is 6% the odds are still very low but in the long haul it can make a difference now that we've talked about where withering trumps genin we can talk about the other way around I've played genin for over 3 years so honestly I'm very biased as withering is just something brand new however I did notice a few things one you can't Auto add items to enhance them for refinement honestly I'm expecting this to be fixed pretty soon anyway so whatever but it's worth mentioning the genshin world has more wow scenery the one thing genin has always done well is this very unique scenery when exploring the thing is though this is the first area in withering wave so it isn't really a fair comparison cuz monad and Lea ain't that extravagant compared to the likes of inauma and zeru so in the future I expect with ring to have similar Concepts overall though with ring takes on a more dark Vibe as this is a post-apocalyptic world still I am loving the world overall and lastly three the Genji combat is simpler the wering comat can feel a bit overwhelming and it will take some getting used to I don't know how endgame is but when the difficulty starts to spike I'm not sure how more casual players will respond I love the combat system and it's an upgrade from genin's EQ swap meta but this is not everyone's cup of tea you can still just press random buttons but I'm sure there is an optimal way to do things I'm sure there are more differences where genin can compete or be slightly better but that's honestly all I can think of for now this is definitely my bias talking here as I've had time to sit down and dissect genin for 3 years with with ring I've just been playing it for a few hours time will tell if more things I don't like about W ring will surface but we'll have to wait and see feel free to ask questions below and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have about the current state of War ring waves make sure to leave a like if you enjoy this video as it's a win-win for the both of us and it will help YouTube know that this video doesn't suck be sure to subscribe for more withering and genin content in the future as well until next time enigma out
