Should You Pull?
- F2P/Low Spend: Prioritize banners featuring new release or limited 5★ units, especially those that fill weaknesses in your roster. Avoid spending currency on reruns if the featured roster doesn't improve your core teams.
- Optimal/Whale: Calculate pity in advance. Consider overlapping banners; weigh premium banner pulls versus saving for the next cycle.
- Pity Notes: Standard pity and rate-up structures expected unless otherwise noted in pre-patch communications.
Core Composition & Team Dynamics
For players looking to adapt to the banner cycle:
– Wuthering Waves often rewards teams built around new 5★ units. If the new banners offer a key role (main DPS or unique support), early pulls can anchor an account for future content.
– Alternative team builds may rely on strong 4★ units from earlier banners; pairing newcomers with existing synergy cores maximizes overall value.
– Rerun banners: Useful for building duplicate constellations or catching units missed in prior updates.
Events & Limited-Time Rewards
The Preview hints at at least one major event with sizable drops:
– Eligibility: Most events are accessible after completing early game story content; check unlock requirements for potential pre-grind needs.
– Tasks: Likely to include dailies, event missions, and time-limited challenge modes.
– Major Rewards: Gacha currency, enhancement/ascension materials, character fragments, and exclusive cosmetics.
– Deadline: Event duration and expiration date not stated in official materials; watch in-game timers closely.
Event Preparation Tips:
– Stockpile stamina and currencies in anticipation of burst tasks.
– Review EarlyGG's farming guide for maximum efficiency during event periods.
System & Quality-of-Life Improvements
Notable system tweaks and shop rotation updates were showcased through official images:
– UI Streamlining: Faster access to banners and event menus
– Crafting Tweaks: Reduced costs and unlockable recipes for new equipment (details TBC at patch release)
– Shop Refresh: Additional packs or rotation not specified—monitor for surprises once patch goes live
– Inventory Upgrades: Bulk crafting and auto-sort features expected to cut daily busywork
These shifts should help both new and veteran players minimize downtime and focus their energy economy on priority tasks—critical for keeping up with timed events.
Pre-Patch Checklist: What to Finish Before Update
- Burn Fake Stamina: Spend capped resources to open new slots for incoming event tasks
- Upgrade Key Units: Secure level-up and ascension mats before event rush
- Scout Banner Pity: Log current pulls to assess if you’re likely to secure new units early
- Clear Time-Limited Content: Any expiring event content should be wrapped up pre-patch
Day-1 Patch Priorities

- Claim Welcome/Event Rewards: Early tasks typically offer quick premium currencies; grab these first
- Participate in Day-1 Event Activities: Early clearers maximize weekly rewards
