Game Guides

You use the Gacha System to get characters and weapons in Wuthering Waves. Each banner has its own money type. You get free gacha turns often. You can pick the 5-star weapon you want. You do not have a 50-50 chance on weapon banners. The pity system gives you a 5-star after 80 turns. This is less than most other games.

Try to use your resources carefully. This helps you avoid wasted pulls. You get more value from each banner this way.

Gacha System Basics

Pulling Characters

When you want new heroes in Wuthering Waves, you use the Gacha System to pull for them. Each banner features a mix of new and returning characters. For example, recent updates have introduced characters like Shorekeeper, Augusta, and Carlotta in the first phase. Later, you see Iuno and Ciaccona in phase two. You can plan your pulls based on which characters fit your team best.

You get a guaranteed 4-star character every 10 pulls. If you keep pulling, you will get a 5-star character after 80 pulls. Sometimes, you might get lucky before reaching 80, because the chance starts to go up after about 60 pulls. This is called "soft pity." The standard character banner always includes five main characters, so you have a steady pool to choose from.

Tip: Try to save your Astrite for banners with your favorite characters or the ones that help your team the most. Pulling just because you can often leads to disappointment.

Here’s a quick look at the drop rates for characters:

You can see that 5-star characters are rare. The Gacha System rewards patience and smart planning. If you focus on team synergy, you get more value from your pulls.

• New banners often feature limited-time heroes.

• Standard banners have a fixed pool of characters.

• You always get a 4-star or better every 10 pulls.

• You always get a 5-star after 80 pulls.

Pulling Weapons

You also use the Gacha System to get weapons. Weapons come in different rarities, just like characters. Some banners let you pick the 5-star weapon you want, which is a big plus compared to other games.

When you pull for weapons, you see different drop rates than with characters. Here’s a table to help you understand what you might get:

Most of your pulls will give you 3-star or 4-star weapons. The chance for a 5-star weapon is much lower, but some banners let you target a specific one. This makes the Gacha System feel a bit more fair, especially if you want to build a certain character.

Note: Always check which weapons are featured on each banner. Some banners offer better odds or let you choose your reward.

Pulling for weapons can boost your team’s power fast. If you match the right weapon to the right hero, you see a big difference in battles. Try to plan your pulls so you get the most out of your resources.

Currencies

Types

You need to know which currencies you use in Wuthering Waves. Each one helps you interact with the Gacha System in a different way. Here are the main types you will see:

• Astrite: This is the main premium currency. You use Astrite to buy tickets for pulls on most banners.

• Lustrous Tide: You spend this currency on the standard banner. You get it from quests and events.

• Radiant Tide: You use this for limited banners. You can buy it with Astrite or earn it from special missions.

• Shell Credits: This is the basic in-game money. You use it for upgrades and buying items, not for gacha pulls.

• Afterglow Coral: You earn this when you get duplicate 4-star or 5-star items. You can trade it for special rewards in the shop.

Here’s a quick table to help you remember:

Tip: Always check which currency a banner needs before you pull. This helps you avoid wasting your resources.

How to Get

You can earn these currencies in several ways. Here’s how you can build up your stash:

1. Astrite: Complete daily missions, achievements, and story quests. You also get Astrite from special events and sometimes as compensation from the developers.

2. Lustrous Tide: Finish main quests and side missions. You might find this currency in treasure chests or as login rewards.

3. Radiant Tide: Buy it with Astrite or earn it from limited-time events. Sometimes you get Radiant Tide from special promotions.

4. Shell Credits: Sell unwanted items or complete battles. You get Shell Credits from almost every activity in the game.

5. Afterglow Coral: Pull duplicates in the Gacha System. You trade this currency for rare items in the shop.

If you want to maximize your pulls, focus on daily tasks and event participation. You will see your currency pile grow faster. Remember, smart resource management means more chances to get your favorite characters and weapons.

Banners

Standard Banners

Standard banners stay in the game all the time. You can pull from these banners whenever you want. These banners offer a fixed pool of characters and weapons. You use Lustrous Tide to make pulls here. You get a guaranteed 4-star item every 10 pulls. After 80 pulls, you receive a 5-star item. The pity counter resets after you get a 5-star. You can always count on these banners for steady progress.

Tip: If you are new, try the starter banner first. It gives you a 5-star character after 50 pulls. This helps you build your team early.

Limited Banners

Limited banners show up for a short time. These banners feature new or special characters and weapons. You use Radiant Tide to pull from these banners. The rates for rare items may change with each event. You get the same 4-star and 5-star guarantees as standard banners. When the banner ends, your pity does not carry over to the next one. You must plan your pulls before the banner goes away.

Here’s a quick look at banner types:

Banner Differences

Each banner in the Gacha System has its own pity counter. Your pulls on one banner do not affect the pity on another. You must track your progress for each banner. Standard banners offer a steady pool, while limited banners bring new choices. Starter banners help you get a strong character fast. Always check the rates and featured items before you spend your currency.

Remember: You cannot transfer pity between banners. Make sure you know which banner fits your goals.

Pity System

The pity system in Wuthering Waves helps you get rare characters and weapons, even if you have bad luck. You do not need to worry about pulling forever without a good reward. The game tracks your pulls and gives you a guaranteed high-rarity item after a set number of tries. Let’s break down how this works.

4-Star Guarantee

You always get a 4-star character or weapon at least once every 10 pulls. This is called the 4-star pity. If you do not get a 4-star item in your first nine pulls, the tenth pull will give you one for sure. This rule applies to both standard and limited banners.

• You can pull one at a time or do a 10-pull. The system counts each pull.

• If you get a 4-star before the tenth pull, the counter resets.

• The next 10 pulls start a new cycle.

Tip: If you want to save time, try pulling 10 at once. You will always see at least one 4-star item in that batch.

Here’s a quick example:

You never go more than 10 pulls without a 4-star. This makes the Gacha System feel fairer and less frustrating.

5-Star Guarantee

The 5-star pity works in a similar way, but the number is higher. You are guaranteed a 5-star character or weapon after 80 pulls on most banners. If you get a 5-star before 80, the counter resets. Some banners, like the starter banner, may have a lower pity count for your first 5-star.

• Each banner tracks its own pity. Pulls on one banner do not count for another.

• If you switch banners, your pity progress does not move with you.

• After you get a 5-star, the count starts over.

Note: The chance to get a 5-star goes up as you get closer to 80 pulls. This is called "soft pity." You might get lucky before reaching the hard pity at 80.

Here’s a table to help you see how pity works per banner:

You should always keep track of your pulls on each banner. Write them down or use a counter. This helps you plan when to pull and when to save.

If you want to get the most out of your pulls, pay attention to the pity system. You can use it to time your big pulls for banners with your favorite characters or weapons.

The pity system gives you a safety net. Even if you have bad luck, you will not miss out on top rewards forever. This is one of the best features of the Gacha System in Wuthering Waves.

Pull Strategies

Who to Prioritize

You want strong characters on your team. Picking who to pull for can feel tricky. Start by looking at your favorite play style. Do you like fast attacks or big damage? Some characters work better for certain roles. If you need a healer, check the banner for support units. If you want more damage, look for DPS characters.

Here’s a simple way to decide:

Try to build a balanced team. You get more wins in battles when your team covers all roles. If you already have a strong DPS, maybe pull for a support next.

Tip: Here at Bahomu, we recommend checking community guides or tier lists. They help you see which characters are popular or strong right now.

Rerolling

Rerolling means starting over to get better pulls. You might want to reroll if you do not get a 5-star character early. Many players reroll during the first few days. You can do this by making a new account and using your free pulls. If you get a top-tier character, keep that account.

Steps for rerolling:

1. Create a new account.

2. Use your free pulls on the starter banner.

3. Check your results.

4. Keep the account if you get a good character. If not, repeat.

Rerolling takes time. You decide if it is worth it. Some players enjoy the process. Others want to start playing right away.

When to Pull

Timing matters in the Gacha System. You get more value when you wait for banners with your favorite characters or weapons. Save your Astrite and other currencies for limited banners. These banners often have new or strong units.

Ask yourself these questions before you pull:

• Is there a character you really want?

• Does your team need a boost?

• Are there special events or increased rates?

You do not need to pull every time you have enough currency. Waiting can help you get better rewards. Plan your pulls and watch for upcoming banners.

Resource Management

Avoiding Wasted Pulls

You want every pull to count in Wuthering Waves. If you spend your currency without a plan, you might end up with items or characters you do not need. You should always check the banner details before you pull. Look at the featured characters and weapons. Ask yourself if they fit your team or play style.

Here are some easy ways to avoid wasted pulls:

• Track your pity count: Write down how many pulls you have made on each banner. This helps you know when a guaranteed 4-star or 5-star is coming.

• Wait for special banners: Limited banners often have stronger or new characters. If you save your currency, you can pull when the odds are better.

• Read community guides: Other players share tips about which banners are worth your resources. You can learn from their experience.

Tip: If you feel tempted to pull just because you have enough currency, take a break and think about your goals. You will make smarter choices.

Smart Spending

Smart spending means you get more value from your resources. You should set a goal for your pulls. Maybe you want a certain character or weapon. Make a list of your top choices. When you know what you want, you can save your Astrite and other currencies for the right moment.

Try these strategies:

1. Budget your pulls: Decide how many pulls you want to use on each banner. Stick to your plan.

2. Use free pulls first: The game gives you free pulls from events and missions. Use these before spending premium currency.

3. Trade duplicate rewards: If you get Afterglow Coral from duplicates, check the shop for special items.

Here’s a table to help you remember smart spending habits:

You control your progress in the Gacha System. If you spend wisely, you build a stronger team and enjoy the game more.

You now know how the Gacha System works in Wuthering Waves. Track your pulls, save your currency, and check each banner before you spend. Try to plan for your favorite characters or weapons.

FAQ

How do I check my pity count in Wuthering Waves?

You can track your pity by counting your pulls on each banner. The game does not show a pity counter, so you need to write it down or use a pull tracker app. Stay organized to know when your next 4-star or 5-star is coming!

Can I save pity between different banners?

No, you cannot move pity from one banner to another. Each banner has its own pity count. If you switch banners, your progress does not carry over. Always check which banner you are pulling on before you spend your currency.

What happens if I get a duplicate 5-star character or weapon?

You receive Afterglow Coral for every duplicate 5-star. You can trade this special currency in the shop for rare items or more pull tickets. Duplicates help you get extra rewards, so they are not a total loss!

Is it better to pull one at a time or do 10-pulls?

Both ways work the same for pity. If you pull ten at once, you save time and always see at least one 4-star. Pulling one at a time lets you stop if you get lucky early. Choose what feels best for you.

Do free pulls count toward pity?

Yes! Every pull, even free ones from events or missions, counts toward your pity. You never waste a pull. Keep an eye out for free chances to boost your progress toward a guaranteed 4-star or 5-star.
