Wuthering Waves Starpath Reverbs: Should You Pull?

Wuthering Waves is shaking up its banner system with the arrival of the Starpath Reverbs Reverberating Resonator Convene event. For the first time, players can select one of six powerful 5-Star Resonators as their featured unit, making this one of the most flexible banners since launch. Whether you missed Jiyan on his original run or have been saving for Changli, this event offers a rare opportunity to fill gaps in your roster without relying on standard pool luck.

The banner runs from the Version 3.5 update until 2026-08-19 11:59 (server time), and it comes with a free 10-pull on first use. If you've been on the fence about any of these characters, now is the time to plan your pulls. Let's break down exactly how the banner works, who you should choose, and what rewards await.

At a Glance

• Event: Starpath Reverbs (Reverberating Resonator Convene)
• Duration: Version 3.5 update – 2026-08-19 11:59 (server time)
• Selectable 5-Stars: Jiyan, Yinlin, Jinhsi, Changli, Zhezhi, Xiangli Yao
• Boosted 4-Stars: Buling, Sanhua, Yangyang
• Pity System: Standard 50/50, guarantee carries over between all Reverb Resonator Convene banners
• Free Pulls: First 10x Convene free; plus milestone rewards from "Gifts of Starpath"

How the Starpath Reverbs Banner Works

Unlike typical double banners, Starpath Reverbs allows you to pick one featured 5-Star Resonator from a pool of six at any time. Every time you obtain a 5-Star, there's a 50% chance it's your selected character and a 50% chance it's a non-featured standard 5-Star (excluding the six selectable ones). If you lose the 50/50, your next 5-Star is guaranteed to be the one you chose.

This system shares its pity count across all Reverb Resonator Convene events, meaning any progress you've built from previous similar banners carries over. For example, if you pulled on a previous Reverb banner and didn't get a 5-Star, that pity applies here. This is a huge advantage for players who have been saving Radiant Tides.

Should You Pull?

Pull if…
– You lack a strong main DPS or sub-DPS among the selectable pool.
– You are a collector aiming to complete your roster.
– You have enough Radiant Tides to reach pity and are willing to risk the 50/50.

Skip if…
– You already have most of these characters and don't need Wavebands.
– You are saving for an upcoming character not in this pool (future banners not yet announced).
– You are strictly F2P and want to guarantee a specific future unit with certainty.

Who Benefits Most
– New players can grab a top-tier unit like Jiyan or Jinhsi to instantly boost account strength.
– Midgame players may target specific characters that fit their existing team compositions.
– Min-spend players can take advantage of the free 10-pull and milestone rewards to spark a 5-Star with fewer resources.

Unlocking Wavebands for these characters is also possible through the Afterglow Coral Store, with a purchase limit of 2 per Resonator during the event. This is especially tempting for dolphins and whales looking to max out a favorite.

Events & Rewards

The Gifts of Starpath milestone event rewards you for pulling on the banner. You accumulate Convenes and unlock items at certain thresholds. Any unclaimed rewards are sent via in-game mail if you log in within 30 days of the event ending. Additionally, during the "Blade of Past Resounds, Lingering Dream Hymns" version period, the first 10x Convene on this banner is completely free — and those free pulls count toward the milestone progress.

Teams & Synergies

Each of the six Resonators fills a distinct role:
– Jiyan – Main DPS, strong with coordinated attackers.
– Yinlin – Sub-DPS, excellent for Electro teams.
– Jinhsi – Main DPS, powerful in heavy attack comps.
– Changli – Sub-DPS, works well with dual-DPS setups.
– Zhezhi – Support/Sub-DPS, great for Glacio teams.
– Xiangli Yao – Main DPS, rewards quickswap gameplay.

If you're unsure who to pick, consider your current roster gaps. For example, if you need a carry, Jiyan or Jinhsi are safe choices. For support value, Yinlin and Zhezhi offer long-term utility.

Preparation Checklist

• Save Radiant Tides – Avoid spending on other banners until you decide your target.
• Check your pity count – If you are close to soft pity (around 70–75 pulls), you can plan accordingly.
• Farm ascension materials for your chosen Resonator – Each requires specific mob drops and boss materials.
• Decide before the banner ends – The selectable pool disappears after 2026-08-19 11:59 server time.

Conclusion

The Starpath Reverbs banner is one of the most player-friendly events Wuthering Waves has offered. With a choice of six top-tier Resonators, free pulls, and shared pity, it caters to both new and veteran players. Take your time to review your needs, and don't forget to claim the free 10-pull before the event ends.
