Beginner's Guide: Tips for Getting Started

Save Your Crystal Solvents

This ties into the previous point because Crystal Solvents can be used to recharge 60 waveplates in an instant. This is handy if you need a few more materials from a Boss Challenge or a Forgery Challenge, but you should resist the urge to spend them. In the early hours of Wuthering Waves, you’ll have opportunities to gather plenty, but these opportunities may soon dry up, making it harder to find more. It’s tempting to use these early on for a boost in productivity, but you can use them more effectively when your SOL3 Phase is higher and activities grant rewards in greater varieties and quantities.

Focus Your Resources on a Few Resonators

With all that said, the resources you need to ascend Resonators or upgrade their skills are essentially gated by time. Forgery Challenges can be completed only a few times before you’re out of waveplates. There are a few workarounds early on but you’ll eventually find yourself squeezing utility out of your last waveplates just to get the materials to upgrade your Resonators. Therefore, it’s best to focus on a core team of 3-5 Resonators. You’ll probably still have some resource overlap even with such a small team, but your resource scarcity will be more severe if you attempt to keep all of your characters at max strength. Ultimately, your party’s strength determines how high your SOL3 Phase can go, which will grant greater rewards and make it easier to eventually catch the rest of your team up to your main squad.

Use the Novice Convene

Use your Lustrous Tide on the Novice Convene: Utterance of Marvels. You can Convene 50 times for 40 Lustrous Tides. That’s a 20% discount! The early hours of Wuthering Waves will likely provide you with the 40 Lustrous Tides needed, due to log in bonuses, but leveling your Union Level and Data Bank Level can both provide you with more.

Collect Echoes

The more new Echoes you collect, the better! You’ll earn Data Bank experience with every new or higher rarity Echo you collect, increasing both the odds and rarities of enemy echoes appearing. This means if you're having trouble grinding stronger repeat Echoes, you should travel to a new zone to find new enemies to capture to level your Data Bank. You'll also receive an increase in your Stamina capacity with the first ten Data Bank level-ups.
