The Shorekeeper Banner: What We Know (and What We Suspect)

Event Duration & Eligibility—A Narrow Window for the Lucky Few

According to the latest info drop, the "Till the Sea Turns Clear" banner will run from the Version 2.6 update until 2025-09-17 09:59 (server time). But here's the catch: only players who have reached Union Level 8 or completed the "First Resonance" combat trial (and unlocked the Convene function) can participate. This eligibility gate is fueling speculation that Kuro Games is testing more exclusive, high-stakes banners for future updates.

Boosted Drop Rates: Who's in the Spotlight?

• 5-Star Resonator: Shorekeeper (event exclusive!)
• 4-Star Resonators: Chixia, Youhu, Yuanwu

Insiders are buzzing about Shorekeeper's limited availability. Once the event ends, this character reportedly won't be obtainable by any other means—a move that echoes past gacha game strategies but with a Wuthering Waves twist. The boosted 4-Star lineup also hints at potential meta shifts, especially with Chixia and Youhu rumored to receive subtle buffs in upcoming patches.

Convene Mechanics—A Subtle Shift in Banner Guarantees?

• Radiant Tide is the currency of choice for this banner.
• 10-pull guarantee: At least one 4-Star or higher Resonator or Weapon every 10 attempts.
• Shared guarantee count: The pity system is shared across all Featured Resonator Convene events and persists until a 5-Star Resonator is pulled.

According to my sources, this shared guarantee system could be a test run for a more player-friendly approach in future banners. If true, this would align with recent industry trends toward transparency and fairness in gacha mechanics—a move that could set Wuthering Waves apart from its competitors.

Shorekeeper’s Waveband: A Limited-Time Store Exclusive

For the first time, Shorekeeper's Waveband will be available in the Afterglow Coral Store, but with a strict limit of 2 purchases. Once the event wraps, it's gone for good. This has already sparked heated debates on community forums, with some players speculating that future banners may see similar limited-run cosmetics or power-ups.

Ascendant Aces: Trial Resonators and Hidden Rewards

During the event, all boosted Resonators will be available as Trial Resonators in the Ascendant Aces challenge mode. Complete their challenges for exclusive rewards. However, there's a twist: due to technical limitations, rewards for Yuanwu's challenge will be distributed via in-game mail this time around. According to dev notes, this is a temporary fix, with a more streamlined system promised in future updates.

Eligibility for Yuanwu’s rewards:
– Create a character and unlock the Mail feature before 2025-08-28 04:00 (UTC+8)
– Rewards claimable until 2025-09-17 09:59 (server time)

What This Means for the Future of Wuthering Waves

Industry Trends: Are Limited-Time Exclusives the New Normal?

The Shorekeeper banner's strict exclusivity and shared guarantee system are raising eyebrows among veteran gacha players. According to industry analysts, this could signal a broader shift toward more event-driven, FOMO-inducing banners in Wuthering Waves. If the rumors are true, expect future updates to feature even more tightly controlled, high-value drops—possibly with new mechanics or crossovers.

Player Reactions: Hype, Skepticism, and Strategic Pulls

Community sentiment is a mix of excitement and cautious optimism. Some players are already strategizing their pulls, while others are wary of missing out on a truly limited 5-Star. Early reactions on social media (credit: @earlyggcom) suggest that the shared guarantee system is a welcome change, but the event's exclusivity is fueling heated debates about accessibility and fairness.
