The world is due another Wuthering Waves update, and luckily for all of us, we won't have to wait long. Wuthering Waves version 1.2 will be launching on August 15 worldwide, and brings with it new characters, events, and even a dancing turtle.
]]>The live-service bubble has been bursting for a while. That much is clear. But with how long most triple-A (and even double-AA) video games take to make nowadays and how absurdly huge the possible wins are, it comes as no surprise it's taking a bit of time to partially retreat from a model that's grown increasingly risky in the last three years or so. This summer, a handful of free-to-play titles such as The First Descendant and Zenless Zone Zero are making a splash, but we're still looking at the same big issue.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest gacha game to capture the imaginations of RPG fans, so naturally, there are loads and loads of characters to choose from even at launch. While the lootboxy nature of WuWa's monetisation means you can't guarantee access to all of your favourite characters straight away, the launch rewards are surprisingly generous, and it's not too hard to fill out your roster quite quickly from early on in the game.
]]>As the Rover's search for the truth continues in Wuthering Waves, their mission leads them to the Grand Library of Jinzhou and the Clashing Blades quest.
]]>There are multiple paths to repairing Blu the robot in Wuthering Waves, either through the No Response Tonight quest or the Shooting Party quest.
]]>Who knew that the Rover's talents in Wuthering Waves extended to both solving mysteries and operating heavy machinery? But in the Hidden Dangers in a Peaceful Life quest you not only have to solve a missing persons case, but fix a complicated piece of mining equipment at the same time.
]]>Throughout all of the diverse landscapes in Wuthering Waves, few are as mysterious as the Banyan forest in the southwest of the continent.
]]>The Rover might be a powerful character in Wuthering Waves, but they've still got a lot to learn when it comes to defeating the toughest Tacet Discords. So why not learn from the best? At least, they say they're the best.
]]>In the wooded area in the east of Jinzhou in Wuthering Waves, speak to Shixia and her dog, Pudding. She’s looking for a gift her sister left for her, which is supposed to be accessible by following clues.
]]>You could say that the Rover is the guiding light of Wuthering Waves, but in the Repair the Lighthouse quest that takes on an even more literal meaning.
]]>Lurking in caves and hideaways throughout Wuthering Waves, the Rover encounters powerful elite enemies like the Scorpion's Nest in the Donglu Research Station.
]]>I don’t know about you, but I’m quite used to shelving my main character in games like Wuthering Waves. My Honkai Star Rail MC rarely sees the light of day, but the best Havoc Rover build in WuWa is - right now - incredible to use as a part of your Team of Resonators. Seriously, don’t sleep on them.
]]>There are many keen explorers in Wuthering Waves. But those who have already completed most of the story content will likely want to spend their time farming five-star Echoes and other resources for their Resonators, as well as hunting down the remaining achievement trophies they’ve yet to get.
]]>The world of Wuthering Waves fuses fantasy and sci-fi into a beautiful action-intensive mixture of mayhem, and its bosses are no different. Solaris-3 has plenty of bosses to battle it out with and farm ascension materials from, though, a few of them are locked behind story beats. One such boss is the Mech Abomination, who many will be looking to farm for building Yinlin.
]]>Getting your hands on Whisperin Cores is nothing to shout about in Wuthering Waves. However, there are a confusing amount of rarities to consider, making LF, MF, HF, or FF cores a pretty important item in your collection. These common drops are a key component when it comes to ascending weapons and Resonators, as well as improving the skills of your team.
]]>Howler Cores are just one of the many resources in Wuthering Waves you will need to level up your characters, but they're definitely the resource that sounds most like a subgenre of extreme heavy metal. Fortunately, they’re easy enough to acquire in abundance, but when it comes to the varying rarities - LF, MF, HF, and FF - you might find youself short for a specific Resonator or weapon.
]]>If you’re looking to ascend fan favorites such as Verina in Wuthering Waves, one thing you’ll need plenty of is Belle Poppy.
]]>You might just think they look pretty, but flowers are an important resource in Wuthering Waves, and Iris is one of the most useful.
]]>Mushrooms can be delicious. Mushrooms can be poisonous, dangerous even. But sometimes, mushrooms can be just a little bit magic. Coriolus in Wuthering Waves are definitely the latter.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Jiyan build is pretty straightforward to put together. Jiyan's sole purpose is to whack things with his sword, a lot, so you don't have to mess around with stat scaling or complex Forte Circuits to get the most out of him.
]]>There are plenty of resources and materials to keep tabs on in Wuthering Waves, and an unexpected one is Scarletthorn. This is one of many minerals in the game that can be used for crafting, and it’s worth seeking out and farming whenever you see it, as the items that you get from collecting it can come in clutch.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Jianxin build gives this 5-star Aero character a well-rounded set of stats and lets her fill almost any role on your team. That said, we prefer Jianxin as a main DPS – or a sub-DPS with a fair bit of field time – thanks to her excellent self-sustain capabilities and how easily she can deal with groups of enemies alone.
]]>Wuthering Waves is a gacha RPG, and as is the case with all gacha RPGs, there are a lot of different systems and mechanics to wrap your head around. It can all be a lot to keep on top of, and one of the many things you’ll need to remember to do is tune your Echoes.
]]>Wuthering Waves dev Kuro Games has once again apologised for the game's rough launch, saying it is "disheartened" at its "inability to provide a high-quality gaming experience."
]]>A good Wuthering Waves Baizhi build doesn’t just give your team an excellent – and free – healer. It helps Baizhi boost everyone’s abilities, and it’s even pretty easy to put together. If you don’t feel like using one of your free 5-star character claims on Verina, stick with Baizhi for a while.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Chixia build turns the free, fiery gunslinger into a potent main DPS for your team, without having to invest too much time in finding the right fits. Chixia might not have the wide-ranging utility of someone like Mortefi, but she still has a lot to offer once you get the right rotation down.
]]>We Promise, We Deliver is an important Exploration Quest in Wuthering Waves that delves into the history of one of Solaris-3’s most dangerous areas, the Sea of Flames, while also pitting you against a devious flamethrower pipe puzzle.
]]>If you weren’t already sure that Wuthering Waves is a superior gacha game, consider this: Solaris-3 is full of cats.
]]>Like most gacha RPGs, Wuthering Waves invites you to tell it when your birthday is. You're under absolutely no obligation to tell it the truth, of course, if you're particularly concerned about privacy; but genre veterans will probably be expecting something good in return for giving up this basic bit of personal info. You might even be tempted to enter the date you created your account as your birthday, in order to receive any gifts or freebies as soon as possible while your Rover is still getting themselves set up.
]]>Wuthering Waves has more than a few different Resonators to try and build a team with, all of which wield different weapons. Ranged, pistol-toting characters are a minority in WuWa, which is a little annoying considering some challenges and puzzles require their guns, but fortunately, Mortefi is one that is highly capable in battle and flexible between compositions.
]]>If Wuthering Waves' roster of Resonators already has you hollering for more, get ready for another round with the powerful and particularly easy to use five star character, Encore. This Black Shores member is accompanied by some adorable sheep-like plushies - Cosmos and Cloudy - that help her in battle. But the damage these teddies deal is anything but soft.
]]>Secret Investigation is a world quest in Wuthering Waves that’s equal parts espionage and memory test, tasking the Rover with infiltrating a gang of smugglers running arms out of Jinzhou.
]]>Throughout the gacha RPG that is Wuthering Waves, you’ll find yourself doing plenty of grinding for Ascension Materials. This way, you can continually level up your team of Resonators, raise your SOL-3 World Level, and tackle bigger challenges (and collect better Echoes). One resource that you’ll definitely need your hands on is Pecok Flowers.
]]>Wuthering Waves has a few late and endgame challenges for keen players to take on while they wait for new content, and one of these is the Tower of Adversity. Consisting of Towers with varying stages, this particular challenge forces you to use different Resonators while taking on timed waves of enemies.
]]>Wuthering Waves possesses plenty of bosses, many of which appear on the map long before you wind up naturally running into them via quest progression. And these bosses, of course, drop Ascension Materials that you’ll no doubt need for your Resonators, but some of them are very well-hidden among SOL-3’s terrain.
]]>Your Wuthering Waves Sanhua build needs to be a little more specific than other character builds, like Yangyang's. The Glacio hybrid character needs more energy than most and benefits from high elemental damage modifiers, despite not being designed as an on-field DPS.
]]>A solid Wuthering Waves Yangyang build is pretty easy to put together no matter what weapons and Echoes you have at your disposal. The kindly wind warrior's kit works with almost any setup, which means you're free to use more specialized equipment for characters with more demanding kits.
]]>Waveplate in Wuthering Waves functions like “energy” in other mobile games, limiting the amount of activities you can do within a single day.
]]>Wuthering Waves has a few five-star Resonators for players to choose from and then mindlessly wish for, and one of these is the elusive Calcharo. While he is a devastating DPS character to have on any team, his kit can be quite difficult to get used to, relying on careful combinations and apt timing.
]]>One thing that Wuthering Waves is currently lacking is strong Support characters. There are a few middling Resonators to experiment with but if you want to bolster your party with healing and damage buffs, your best bet right now is five-star character, Verina.
]]>After having spent some time playing Wuthering Waves and seeing the state that the world of SOL-3 is currently in, you’ll find yourself regularly running into Echoes to absorb. With some luck, you’ll start filling out your Echo Gallery much like some sort of sci-fi Pokedex, and you’ll also discover boss fights - such as the Tempest Mephis - where you can score some especially good ones.
]]>Wuthering Waves has offered jaded gacha RPG players a brand-new world to sink their teeth into, and while performance issues left a dampener on its opening weekend, that hasn’t stopped the game from topping mobile download charts across 100 regions. And, well, it’s easy to see why with fluid, challenging combat that offers a nice change of pace from Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail.
]]>The huge open-world of Wuthering Waves supports multiplayer gameplay, but new players will have to work to unlock it before they can roam the planet of Solaris-3 in the company of their friends. The grind to reach Union Level 22 isn’t an easy one, but it’s worth it to be able to farm materials and collect new, better Echoes in good company.
]]>Wuthering Waves has had a slightly rough launch, but some changes are coming that should bring some quality of life improvements.
]]>You might not be stuck with them for long, but a good Wuthering Waves Spectro Rover build makes your MC worth keeping around long after you've unlocked wishes and recruited new Wuthering Waves characters.
]]>Your Union Level in Wuthering Waves is a measure of your progress and power within the world of Solaris-3. Raising your Union Level has all sorts of benefits and rewards, although it can be tough to gather as much EXP as you’d like quickly.
]]>As you search for the hidden meaning of the mysterious tokens left behind by the Magistrate in Wuthering Waves, you travel to the blighted Qichi Village with Yangyang, only to be set upon by a leader of the Fractsidus group, Scar.
]]>Cooking is an integral part of any RPG, letting you experience the cuisine and culture of the vast worlds you’re exploring, and Wuthering Waves lets you taste dishes from across the planet of Solaris-3.
]]>While you spend much of your time in Wuthering Waves questing, filling out your Data Bank, and battling it out with Tacet Discords, there come times when you’ll also need to pass some doing nothing. Fortunately, this is done by resting in WuWa.
]]>Wuthering Waves has a bunch of systems to wrap your head around, including a menu of Utility Tools for you to make use of, and you’ll definitely want to make use of them. These tools can prove useful for navigating and exploring the various regions in WuWa, and one of them, the Levitator, is necessary for some puzzles and environmental hazards.
]]>Wuthering Waves, like many gacha RPG’s before it, has a lot of different systems and mechanics for players to get used to. One of these is our Utility Tools, which are useful bits of kit to help us with exploring and navigating this disaster-stricken world. A specific tool you’ll need to use early on that proves useful wherever you are is the Sensor.
]]>Wuthering Waves boasts a lot of different systems to wrap your head around, as is the case with most new and upcoming gacha RPGs. Fortunately, the game provides plenty of tutorials to help you out with its mechanics, but there are a few features that can still be a tad confusing; Sonata Effects being one of them.
]]>Wuthering Waves launched to a fairly rocky start in terms of performance issues, although that hasn't stopped plenty of the 30 million players who pre-registered their interest in the game from logging in to claim those sweet Day 1 rewards.
]]>Wuthering Waves is out and about, and loads of players are diving in and messing around with the open world action gacha. But, while many are out and about pumping up their union level or hunting down echoes, others are pushing the game's limits to see if they can break anything. It turns out, they can. By adjusting your device's clock, you can access a five-star character trail before its intended release.
]]>Wuthering Waves takes place in an open world, and whenever we find ourselves confronted with a massive map in a video game, we start wondering how we're going to navigate it if our next quest objective requires us to go all the way over there next. Regular travel in WuWa seems to take place exclusively on foot, and surely Kuro Games don't expect us to run all the way to another city to continue the story.
]]>Wuthering Waves is finally here, and like any self-respecting gacha game, you can Wish for a chance at pulling one of a massive roster of collectable characters.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest anime-RPG to make a splash in its crowded market, boasting another huge roster of characters to spend your hard-earned cash on trying to unlock. However, with that said, pull rates seem to be better than competitors' gacha RPGs, and combat definitely looks to be exciting, so here’s hoping that folk like me can actually keep up!
]]>Even though it's primarily a single-player game, Wuthering Waves allows you to connect with other players in your account's friends list, which ought to make it much easier to come up with teams of three for playing in co-op mode.
]]>Your Data Bank Level in Wuthering Waves is an important measure of your progress through the game, and raising it grants your Rover access to a variety of great rewards.
]]>In the run-up to the release of Wuthering Waves, Kuro Games offered a series of pre-registration bonuses for players who created an account for the game before it officially launched. Adding another offering every time certain milestones — such as social media followers — were reached, the eventual pot for eager fans ended up being well worth getting your hands on.
]]>Your very first side quest in Wuthering Waves is a fun one, as you take on the form of a speedy, flying puffer fish to astound a group of easily impressed students. To complete "Travel in Jinzhou: Gulpuffs", you just need to complete a short obstacle course, but it can actually be quite confusing in the middle, since you seem to hit a dead end.
]]>When Wuthering Waves has such a strong emphasis on combat, it's only natural you'll need healing sooner or later.
]]>Like many RPGs of its type, Wuthering Waves doesn't let you customise your main protagonist very much, but does offer you a choice as to their gender. When you start playing Wuthering Waves, you're asked to pick between male and female variants on the main player character, known as Rover.
]]>Wuthering Waves is finally out, and for a lot of players who've been keen on the open world action game are diving in and having a blast. However, that's not to say it's been a smooth launch by any means, with numerous reports of bugs, graphical problems, and performance flubs.
]]>Wuthering Waves is almost upon us, promising hours of anime-styled action, a story-rich open-world to explore and a vast roster of characters to collect.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest anime-style action-RPG threatening to soak up all of your free time, dropping as it is on both PC and mobile devices - whether you’re at home with a monitor or out and about with a phone, you can never escape.
]]>Wuthering Waves is nearly here, launching worldwide on May 22. To celebrate, Kuro Game Studio is offering a nice spread of rewards and unlockables for those willing to download the game and play it on launch.
]]>It’s not too long now until Wuthering Waves becomes available for the 30+ million pre-registrants to dive into, but the Wuthering Waves release times can be a tad confusing, depending on where you live. Fortunately, while waiting for developer, Kuro Game, to launch the latest gacha RPG to rival Genshin Impact, one content creator has detailed the exact time players can expect to access the game, including when you can pre-load Wuthering Waves.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest massive, open-world, anime-styled RPG to take a swing at the gacha-crown. But if there’s one genre-staple that Wuthering Waves needs to nail if it’s going to be a success, it’s dazzling, engaging spectacle combat.
]]>In the realm of action-gacha-RPGs, Wuthering Waves has to do something special to make its own mark in a crowded landscape. However, when a huge open-world, massive roster of characters and energetic hack-and-slash battles are all considered the norm in the genre, what can Kuro Games do to meet that already high bar?
]]>Wuthering Waves is coming to PC, but will not be available on Steam at launch. It will instead be available via the Epic Games Store, as well as Kuro Game’s official site.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest gacha game on the block, and one that - so far - looks as though it could honestly give Genshin Impact a run for its money. With a slightly better pity system and satisfying combat, Wuthering Waves has definitely appeared to build on the game’s it’s so clearly inspired by.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest RPG gacha game to arrive on the scene, this time from Kuro Game. Launching next week (May 23) for PC and mobile, players will be exploring the planet Solaris-3, which is on the brink of destruction. It’s up to our determined Resonators (playable characters) to use their abilities and save the world from disaster.
]]>As if there weren’t enough RPG gacha games floating around or in the works already, Kuro Game’s upcoming endeavor - Wuthering Waves - will be releasing on May 23 for PC and mobile. In our preview of the game, it felt great to play with combat that is genuinely interesting, so it’s safe to say that some of us are looking forward to the challenges that Wuthering Waves will soon offer.
]]>Heads up folks, another massive PC release is almost here. No, it's not some out-of-nowhere FPS, or a gigantic narrative RPG. It's a game called Wuthering Waves, a Genshin Impact style open world action game. If you've got any hunger at all for fast-paced combat, sweeping planes filled with various creatures and critters, or slick sci-fi aesthetics, it's a game you should be keeping in mind.
]]>I'm not afraid to say it - I've spent both an unhealthy amount of time and an shameful amount of money on gacha games. I'm not talking 1000+, thankfully. But I'm not too far off. It's therefore an unfortunate reality for some of the big hitters in the gacha space like Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail that spending money on the right characters can end up trivializing content. Wuthering Waves may just fix that.
