While the environment and scenery are visually fairly indistinct from what we saw, they were interesting enough, with materials to gather, enemies to defeat, and puzzles to solve. We played through a brief logic puzzle that was just above the boss fight demo, and it was a Tetris block-style conundrum that was a fun distraction. Obviously, one puzzle isn’t enough to judge an entire game’s worth of open world content so it’s mostly speculation at this point, but based on other closed beta impressions/streams it **looks like the world of Wuthering Waves will have more than enough on offer to keep people interested in its early days
While it might be very enticing to go around the open world and explore as soon as you land in the game, it’s still highly recommended to progress the main story until you can unlock your dailies . Once you have these unlocked, you can start playing at your own p
Verdict: While the early-game meta is prone to change, players aiming for an early advantage in endgame content should prioritize obtaining Verina, with Encore and Calcharo being secondary options. That being the case, if players are only looking for one of these characters to obtain, they should not need to spend as much as time with rerolling, as they can pick any of them for their Beginner Convene after the first 50 pulls are comple
That’s an encouraging sign for a fledgling live service game that has to compete for time with well-established titles in the same space. I’m optimistic Wuthering Waves can entice players early – there’s enough variation in its game world, its compelling combat systems, and it’s another open-world ARPG with an exciting hook – but launch will certainly be a make-or-break time for the SLG Game Strategy. **Overall, the hands-on experience with the game definitely cements the fact that Wuthering Waves is a game to watch and an exciting design within the action RPG gacha ecosystem
Once you progress in the game’s story a little and gain some Union levels, you’ll start seeing various world bosses and weekly bosses on the map . You’ll need materials from these bosses to upgrade certain characters, but more than that, you’ll need the EXP they provide for the first clear in the early g
If you have a world quest around your current position, you’ll see it as a blue question mark on the map. Some quests automatically enter your quest inventory, and these include Tutorial and Exploration quests. The former introduces you to new mechanics while the latter helps you make the world a bit sa
Once you get past the first three acts of the main story, you’ll commonly get gated by your Union Level before you can play the next act . This forces you to look for ways to upgrade this level as fast as possible, and world quests are arguably the best way of doing so while also learning about the world around
This prevents you from smashing all your ability buttons as soon as they’re ready and actually forces you to pay attention to the enemy’s movement . You might get past early-game combat without too much thinking, but it’ll be a detriment to not learn to take it slow during the late g
Embark on the main story quest, dedicating approximately 35-45 minutes solely to its completion until a certain point. Avoid any distractions such as side missions, overworld exploration, or echo obtaining, and instead, focus solely on following the main storyline’s progression and reaching the t
If you head over to the character screen and select the fourth option on the left side of the current resonator that you’re using , you’ll be able to see all their active and passive skills . This area has extensive details about each ability you can use during combat, and it’s essential to read them if you want to succ
While combat was a showcase of improvements and innovations, the brief amount of open world traversal/hub navigation available in the hands-on indicates that Wuthering Waves exploration will be a solid bedrock of what already works in the genre. Grappling hooks, gliders, and sprinting were all options, and each was implemented smoothly. There’s also a parkour system that lets characters run up walls/cliffsides, which is a nice touch and an improvement on the slow climb other titles tend to h
This makes it important to regulate your resource usage. Even though it might not seem like a big deal to waste some Credits when you have more than 200,000, it catches up pretty fast . Here are a few easy tips to help you with your resource managem
In short, rerolling in Wuthering Waves is not worth the effort. The process takes around 35-45 minutes for each reroll similar to many popular games like Honkai: Star Rail or Genshin Impact , and it can extend to a few days since players will receive additional pull chances in the upcoming days. Moreover, each reroll requires creating a new account and binding it to a new email address, further lengthening the process. Additionally, players can quickly obtain a 5-star character from the limited roster in 50 pulls (worth 40 pulls due to discounted pulls) and select the next 5-star standard character within the next 80 pu
