– Waveband: Also limited to Afterglow Coral Store (2 purchases), disappears after event.
Should You Pull? F2P and Low-Spend Analysis
Pros:
- Aemeath is fully exclusive — future reruns unconfirmed, so passing may mean missing him entirely.
- Multiple 4-Star rate-ups: Useful both for newcomers chasing roster depth and for veterans aiming high Eidolon/constellation counts. Mortefi and Aalto both fill highly competitive utility slots, especially for Tactical and Timed challenge modes.
- Trial access: All rate-up Resonators are playable through Ascendant Aces, reducing risk for the on-the-fence.
Cons:
- Shared pity: F2P or low-budget account holders currently targeting another banner (e.g., a meta weapon or rerun) face tough opportunity cost decisions.
- No guaranteed rerun: If you're saving for a major future unit with deeper team synergy, skipping may be optimal — especially for those with established core teams.
Bottom Line:
– Pull if: You need a new stronghold anchor for high-difficulty content, are suffering from roster gaps, or want exclusive value.
– Skip/Wait if: You’re nearing guarantee and prefer an upcoming character, or your team’s Elemental/Resonator coverage is already robust.
Teams & Meta Synergies: Endgame Impact
Aemeath’s kit details (not stated in official materials) are under embargo, but given his banner treatment and showcase role, he’s almost certain to open up new high-value composition routes. Mortefi and Aalto traditionally offer nuanced role compression in multi-core teams, and several early testers note Taoqi’s value as a flexible disruption tech.
Suggested archetypes:
– Main carry anchor: (Aemeath) + (Mortefi/Aalto) + hyper-sustain support
– Hybrid disruption: (Aemeath) + Taoqi + burst DPS
– Flexible rotations: Double support with Mortefi/Aalto plus a main DPS for efficient action economy in Ascendant Aces
If your focus is MoC and late-stage content requiring frequent Toughness manipulation or quick Weakness Break turnovers, these picks provide both ceiling and team flexibility.
Event, Trials, and Rewards: What to Prioritize
The Ascendant Aces event acts as both a showcase and soft tutorial for the banner units. Every boosted Resonator is available as a trial unit — critical for direct comparison and build theorycrafting.
- Eligibility: Union Lv 5 minimum; alternative access via First Resonance or Main Quest Fast Track (specific quest point not detailed).
- Rewards: Unique challenges tied to each featured Resonator; rewards typically include pulls, upgrade materials, and progression resources (exact quantities not stated in official materials).
- Waveband Purchases: Only possible during banner, capped at two purchases — plan Coral spends accordingly if buying for advancement or E1 strategies.
Preparation Checklist
- Stockpile Radiant Tide and Afterglow Coral pre-banner.
- Complete First Resonance trial or progress Main Quest for early access.
- Trial all featured Resonators in Ascendant Aces; compare rotations with your endgame roster needs.
- Decide on Waveband purchases before banner end (irreversible loss after 2026-02-26, SVR TZ).
- Track pity counts as the event start approaches, especially if your last 5-Star was not on-rate-up.
Conclusion: Pull or Pass, and What’s Next?
With the Take Flight in Spring banner, Wuthering Waves 3.1 signals a clear shift toward highly exclusive, trial-friendly releases with both short-term and future meta repercussions. For top-level endgame clears, Aemeath and the event 4-Stars could present one of the best value banners of 3.1 — providing you assess your account’s current trajectory and currency. For F2P and budget-conscious players, timing is everything: missing a true limited now may sting, but savvy planning across shared pity pools remains essential.
