• 4-Star Weapons: Waning Redshift, Undying Flame, and Comet Flare—all with boosted drop rates

Banner Mechanics: What Makes This Event Different?

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Here’s what sets this banner apart:

• Featured Weapon Guarantee: The first 5-Star weapon you pull is guaranteed to be Stellar Symphony. No 50/50 heartbreak here!
• Shared Pity: Your 10-pull guarantee for a 4-Star or higher (Resonator or Weapon) is shared across all Featured Weapon Convene events. Pity carries over until you land a 5-Star.
• Event-Exclusive: Stellar Symphony is only available during this event. Once it’s gone, it’s gone—no reruns (for now).
• Currency: You’ll need Forging Tide to pull on this banner. Time to check those reserves!

Is Stellar Symphony Worth Your Pulls?

Alright, let’s address the million-Tide question: Should you pull for Stellar Symphony?

Why This Banner Is a Big Deal

• Meta Impact: Early theorycrafting suggests Stellar Symphony could redefine top-tier builds, especially for DPS-focused Resonators. If you’re chasing leaderboard glory or just want to flex in co-op, this weapon is a serious upgrade.
• FOMO Factor: With no alternative way to obtain Stellar Symphony after the event, skipping could mean missing out on a future must-have.
• 4-Star Value: The boosted 4-Star weapons aren’t just filler—they’re solid picks for both new and veteran players looking to round out their arsenals.

Player Reactions & Community Hype

The Wuthering Waves subreddit and Discord are already ablaze with banner math, pull strategies, and (of course) salt memes. Some players are calling this the most generous weapon event yet, while others are saving for rumored banners teased in recent leaks.

“Finally, a banner where the 5-Star is guaranteed and actually meta-relevant. My wallet is ready!” — @earlyggcom community member

Pro Tips: How to Maximize Your Pulls

If you’re diving in, here’s how to get the most bang for your Forging Tide:

• Track Your Pity: Since pity is shared, plan your pulls across banners to avoid wasting resources.
• Check Your Needs: If your main DPS can use Stellar Symphony, this is a no-brainer. Otherwise, consider waiting for future banners teased in Wildfire Mark Weapon Banner Leak.
• Don’t Sleep on 4-Stars: Waning Redshift and Undying Flame are sleeper hits for certain team comps—don’t overlook them!
• Resource Management: Remember, Forging Tide is precious. If you’re F2P, weigh your options carefully.
