EVERYTHING you NEED to know | Wuthering Waves Beginner Guide

the release of withering waves is close and whether you are planning to play the game or are simply interested in an overview about what the game has to offer this video is for you we will cover nearly everything the game has to offer and talk about all the features present in the cbt2 all the ways to obtain pulls for your favorite characters ecosystem dailies and weeklys bosses crafting and cooking endgame content the geta system and much more grab yourself a tea or coffee this will be a long video well at least for my standards settle in and let's talk about everything with ring Raves has to [Music] offer while you explore the Overworld you will come across various chests puzzles and title heritages these are onetime rewards which will not only Grant you some asteroid the premium currency of this game but also these would Grant fragments you can exchange these at the gift shop in Jinzo I'm sorry if I buter that name for various Goods such as PS tuners XP materials or credits speaking of Jinzo Mari from the Pioneer Association will grant you some small rewards for exploring the world you gain progress from various activities such as visiting new areas solving puzzles opening chests or simply doing quests these rewards also include unlocking the portable waypoint at level two the costet scan function at level three and the loot mapper at level four which will allow you to search your nearby area for chests but let's talk about the ckets again or to be more specific what ckets are even in the first place close to Mari you will find The Relic Merchant champi during your exploration you will come across sonin ckets they are basically the equivalent to genin's Oculus and you can trade them in for rewards such as asterid PS w bands or breakthrough materials for your MC wave bands are basically this game's version of constellations I will get back to breakthrough materials a bit later into the video let's continue with the crafting systems in the northeast of Shinzo you can find the synthesizer which allows you to craft some HP Recovery or Revival items portable waypoints or use lower level materials to craft higher level ones these items are used for breakthroughs ascensions and upgrades from weapons and skills furthermore crafting items here will grant you proficiency which increases your synthesis level rewarding you again with some asteroid and XP materials Uncle Way's weapon franchise allows you to buy weapon breakthroughs and skill materials up to a certain limit every week for some shell credits the currency used in withering waves since shell credits are easily obtained and farmable without spending stamina this is certainly something to buy every week behind way you can can also craft yourself some weapons however while the three star weapons are easily craftable the fourstar weapons require a high amount of materials and weapon molds which you can either gain by defeating the bellor Calamity or guaranteed from the weekly bus at M's grocery store you can buy materials for cooking while you can Farm a few in the Overworld some recpes require special items such as milk which can only be obtained here speaking of cooking various recpes allow you to cre buff food and here as well we have a proficiency level which will again reward you with new Reyes and some asteroid hanua the restaurant owner here will also sell you a few new recepts to learn and if you are ever out of materials and feel too lazy to search and collect them yourself Coco at the pharmacy also allows you to buy common herbs and Wheats to finish off chinzo we have the simulation training where you can spend your wave plates which is basically your stamina for very XP materials or shell credits which is a great segue to wave plates so you can hold a maximum of 240 of them and they restore one every 6 minutes you can either use one Crystal solvent or asterid to replenish 60 wave plates wave plate refreshes can be done a maximum of six times a day if you are using asterid so let's talk about all the possible ways of how you can spend them starting with Union level 10 you unlock the Overworld bosses such as the crownless you know that tutorial boss after defeating one of those you can spend 60 wave plates to gain their respective resonator breakthrough materials as well as their Echo either by chance or guaranteed depending on your terminal level for this do respawn every 5 minutes other ways to spend your wave plates include clearing the forgery challenges for various materials costing you 40 wave plates or the weekly bosses whose rewards you can only claim one a week for 60 wave plates discords tets are also a way to spend your wave plates to obtain some Echo but personally I highly advise against that as Overworld farming is way more efficient and does not cost you any wave plates whatsoever in the first place however if they do change anything here and it does become worth it I will let you know in a pinned comment again this is based on cbt2 that being said let's talk about what all these materials are used for well mainly characters and weapons characters in withering waves are called resonators while you get Rover chicka and yangyang for free within the first minutes of the game other characters are obtained through the gcha system more and that later actually that is not entirely correct you can also claim Yan wo for free after reaching a certain breakpoint in the tower of adversary which is this game's equivalent of genjin abis leveling resonator requires well resonator experience materials and level in weapons right you guessed it weapon experience materials reaching level 20 40 50 60 70 or 80 requires you to ascend the character to continue leveling the further however character and weapon ascensions are locked behind your soul three phase and require breakthrough materials if you are wondering what this ominous Soul three phase is basically that is your World level every 10 Union levels your soul three phase will increase by one but at your in levels 20 40 and 60 you will need to pause a trial to further increase the souls 3 phase as enemies will get significantly stronger at least many of them do not only gain more stats and HP but also entirely new move sets ascending your characters will also unlock higher levels for your skills however you will still need to level them which is what you need the skill materials for each level increases the skills Effectiveness by around 5% which means the difference between level one in level 10 is about 50% at least when speaking of damage again this is based on cbt2 data and also keep in mind while 50% doesn't seem much at first glance keep in mind it does scale with all your other stats but in any case the most damage you will gain comes from your weapons and echos since I already have made an in-depth video about the ecosystem you can click the link in the top right hand corner if you're interested in that I will not go too deep into the system in this video however I do want to to mention that they have decided to make various adjustments to the Echo and I think that is great the overall system is still the same stats and roles will be different and there now will be a way to convert unenhanced Echo into new Echoes also thank God a certain perc of tuners will be returned to you when using tuned Echo as f for others also they will narrow down the statal changes cuz honestly they have been quite atrocious anyway echos are obtained by killing enemies in the overw world the best way to Target specific Echoes is using the tracking function which will lead you one by one to every enemy in the world Echo come in one three and four costs depending on the strength and each Echo can be between rank two and five to be honest every Reco that's not rank five you can throw way after some time since the stats rank five Echo Grand are just so much higher it's like not even close this also means please save your resources and do not level rank four Echo pass maybe level six or level five the maximum rank you can find in the Overworld and reliably Farm depends on your terminal level which you level up by finding new Echo and you gain Data Bank experience for each rank you find for the first time every terminal level will also increase your maximum stamina and grants you some asteroid rank four Echo are obtainable after level eight and rank five Echoes can be formed after level 15 regular enemies are are classified as one cost Elite enemies are three cost and Overlord or Calamity enemies are considered four cost characters have a load out called cost and the sum of all Echo equipped cannot be higher than set load out which is either 8 10 or 12 again depending on your terminal level raising your terminal level fast is hence one if not the most important thing to do early into the game the echo equipped in the top most slot of any character will grant its unique Echo ability for you to use but again if you want to know how exactly that works I recommend you to have a look at my in-depth Echo video let's talk about the weapons weapons follow the same formul as characters requiring weapon XP and breakthrough materials to level and descend respectively you can enhance weapon Effects by offering duplicates up to a maximum of rank five effectively doubling the effect strength duplicates of characters will be translated into wave bands which you can use to unlock the Note sequences capping out Note 6 which brings us to the gcha system the place where you will obtain sa wave bands or new characters and weapons withering waves features four banners the event character Banner event weapon Banner standard character banner and standard weapon Banner while you can still lose your 50/50 in the event character Banner which will reimburse your lost 50/50 with an additional 30 Carls though but more than that later the only five star you you can get on the event weapon Banner is the featured weapon on the standard Banner you can only ever obtain characters and if you want a weapon you pull on the standard weapon Banner however the standard weapon Banner lets you actually select and choose the weapon you want to meaning you will guaranteed obtain set weapon when pulling a five star otherwise every 10 PS you will be guaranteed at least one fourstar regardless of the banner every three star weapon obtained will reward you with a few corals and every four and five star character with three or eight Afterglow corals respectively if you already have set characters sequence notes maxed you will receive more Afterglow corals instead if I remember correctly it was like double or triple the usual amount powerls can be exchanged in the shop for up to 18 pts per month or various materials and credits and after glow CS can be exchanged for either more pulls or guaranteed wave bands of all standard characters and the featured character as well however they are very expensive and are to be honest more of a toy for whales than for the average free to-play player but you might be able to get a character or two after saving for a very long time while talking about the shop also let me get back to the union level here you can also claim some goodies once every 5 to 10 Union levels nothing too major but it is a nice touch and a few of them also give you some PS I already mentioned asterite the premium currency of this game before and while very prevalent in the shop there are other ways to obtain those be it once daily weekly bi-weekly or monthly so let's talk about those as well starting with the one-timers aside from the chests puzzles title heritages redeemable shops and proficiency levels I already have mentioned earlier into the video you can claim up to 60 per day by doing some of the various tasks in the guide book's activity speaking of the guide book once you can also claim some union experience for each task done here as well as some asteroid and other materials or Echo after finishing each guide book level and this brings us to the weekly activities once per week and once every two weeks or also once a month you can get some asteroid and H pulls from the various endgame activities so let's talk about those as of the cbt2 there are two endgame activities in the game well technically three the Tower of adversity and the depth of elusive realm the Tower of adversity is this game's equivalent to genin's abis before you are able to access the repeatable bi-weekly Hazard Zone you can obtain 1,800 esteroide from clearing the stable and experiment zones clearing any floor will reward you with deep records or drill data sets depending on your score which you can trade in for various materials shiny echos and asterite in the shop every 2 weeks however the Tower of adversity Works a little bit differently than genin's abis each character has a total of 10 energy using a character on any floor will deplete some of sad energy and if it reaches zero sad character cannot be used in further floors this will require you to have three teams built for the Tower or in other words nine characters the second endgame activity is the depth of elusive realm which is a Rog like mode and personally I really loved it I thought it was extremely fun to play in this mode you can play one character and only one character and you will gain various enhancements Buffs and blessings throughout your run if you have ever played honai impact third before this is basically the alysian realm but due to the echo mechanics it feels way cooler to be honest The elusive realm will also provide you with a currency which you can trade in for various Goods once a month yet again and last but not least let's also have a look at some combat tips some Echo abilities will transform you into the respective enemy which usually has a long animation time rendering you unable to Parry Dodge or use any other abilities however for most echos you can still switch your characters allowing you to animation cancel sad Echo ability and not only dealing more damage in a shorter time frame but also giving your back control to Parry or Dodge important enemies attacks this will especially be important when talking about the Hologram buses and withering waves which is sort of the third endgame activity I was touching on earlier Holograms are basically extremely buffed up versions of your regular World bosses they unlock at Union level 27 and come in six difficulties each difficulty increases their stats aggressiveness and changes their move sets making them by far the most challenging content in the game because of their difficulty they only Grant a small onetime reward as not every player will be able to defeat all difficulties at once last but not least let me talk about two more things well three actually shiny floating asteroids on the overw world shiny Echoes and the battle pass once in a while you might come across these little things which will reward you with a small amount of asteroid when collected I have no idea how often they appear what triggers those or if they are kept to a certain amount per day but I have been able to find up to three within the same day once speaking of shiny asterid let's talk about shiny echos the Pokémon enthusiasts may already know what that is indeed referring to you are able to find EOS in a different color compared to the usual one as far as testing has went during the cbt2 it seems like those always have a chance to spawn within the same place that also means they will unfortunately not be that rare but for collectors go out there go for it it is a cool little feature and you have a chance to getting a shiny once per day regarding the battle pause there's honestly nothing special about it it is very similar to all the other gcha games I've played be it genin HSR honka impact third or reverse 1999 if you think I've missed anything please let me know in the comments so that has been everything and a lot and if you sticked up until the end I want to thank you for your time and hope this video was of help please leave me a comment and subscribe if you like the video cuz that is how the YouTube algorithm works and I would highly appreciated thank you for watching and have a nice day peace [Music]
