Wuthering Waves: Ciaccona Banner Opens Dramatic New Chapter

Wuthering Waves: Ciaccona Banner Ushers in Exclusive Limited Drop

The highly anticipated Featured Resonator Convene, Through Verses and Rhythms, launches in Wuthering Waves—headlined by the debut of 5-Star Ciaccona. As the first limited banner to offer a never-returning character, this event significantly reshapes gacha priorities for September and October 2025.

For players strategizing pity, optimal pulls, or aiming for exclusive synergy, this update creates a definitive inflection point. Ciaccona will not return post-banner according to current official sources, making this window essential for completionists and meta-chasers alike.

Banner Schedule and Drop Rates

The Through Verses and Rhythms banner is strictly limited to a three-week run. Notably, the pity counter carries across all Featured Resonator banners, providing players some longer-term planning flexibility.

| Phase | Start (Server Time) | End (Server Time) | 5-Star | 4-Star Rate-Ups |
|———————-|———————-|———————-|————|———————–|
| Through Verses and Rhythms | 2025-09-17 10:00 | 2025-10-08 11:59 | Ciaccona | Aalto, Baizhi, Taoqi |

Pity Rules: 10x pulls guarantee at least a 4-Star or higher (Resonator or Weapon); pity count is shared across all Featured Resonator Convene banners and resets only after a 5-Star is obtained.
Exclusivity: Ciaccona is banner-only and cannot be obtained by any other means post-event. Official materials confirm no plans for reruns.

Should You Pull for Ciaccona?

F2P and Low-Spend Players

Considerations: With Ciaccona marked as non-returning, F2P players eyeing an exclusive roster slot should weigh current Primogem (Radiant Tide) reserves against upcoming, unannounced units. With the pity system linked across banners, pulling here does not waste progress toward future rate-ups if a 5-Star is not secured.
Risks: As with all exclusive banners, there is future meta uncertainty. Unconfirmed leaks about Ciaccona’s synergy or boss relevance should be treated cautiously.

Completionists & Meta Players

Exclusive Value: For collection-focused players, or those seeking potential meta-defining combinations, Ciaccona’s one-time availability is critical. Take advantage of the Ascendant Aces trial phases to assess playstyle fit.
Waveband Consideration: Shop purchases (Waveband in Afterglow Coral Store) are capped at two and disappear when the event ends—an extra layer of scarcity that impacts resonance upgrading for Ciaccona.

Competing Banners & Currency Strategy

Overlaps: Not stated in official materials. When planning pulls, check for concurrent banners or upcoming events for optimal value.
Radiant Tide: Only use if you have adequate reserves or can accept the risk of depleting future pity progress.

Teams & Synergies

Core Roles: Not stated in official materials. However, with three 4-Star rate-ups—Aalto, Baizhi, Taoqi—this banner can diversify core teams or provide upgrades to under-leveled accounts.
Trial Opportunities: Complete each unit's Ascendant Aces challenge to both assess synergy and secure bonus rewards before investing resources.

Events, Trials, and Rewards

Eligibility: Players must reach Union Level 8 or finish the First Resonance combat trial and activate the Convene function.

How to Participate:
– Join the banner directly via the Convene page in-game.
– Access all rate-up Resonators as Trial units in the Ascendant Aces event for testing and unique event rewards.
– Purchase Ciaccona’s Waveband in the Afterglow Coral Store (limit two) before the event finishes.

Event Deadline: All features and shop items are removed when the banner closes on 2025-10-08 11:59 (server time).

Preparation Checklist

Save Radiant Tide if targeting Ciaccona, especially if still approaching guaranteed 5-Star pity.
Test All Boosted Units in Ascendant Aces to determine team compatibility.
Monitor Shop Timers for Ciaccona’s Waveband.
Evaluate Competing Banners: Check EarlyGG’s Wuthering Waves banner hub for overlap and phase planning.

Unconfirmed and Forward-Looking

No leaks or unofficial schedule updates regarding future appearances of Ciaccona or rerun timing are cited in the official event post. All future availability is currently unconfirmed—exercise caution before skipping.

Conclusion

The Through Verses and Rhythms banner marks a major milestone for Wuthering Waves, raising the stakes with an exclusive, non-repeating 5-Star debut. For players interested in long-term roster strength, the combination of time-limited access and cross-banner pity makes strategic engagement crucial.

Watch EarlyGG’s event tracker for incoming banner announcements, and use the Ascendant Aces event to get hands-on experience with every boosted unit before deciding to pull. As the meta continues to shift, today’s decisions will echo through the rest of the season.
