Next, head over to the room on the left and pick up the straight pipe . Carry this pipe to the room on the right and affix it in the gap you saw before. A small cutscene should play, which is your indicator that you have successfully connected the pipes in the middle and right ro

Combat also feels snappy and responsive in Wuthering Waves , with well-made character movement a crucial element of the flow of battle. Dodges felt especially pinpoint and rewarding, and combat also features a parry system where a unit can time their attack to respond to an enemy's vulnerability indicator during their own lunge - doing so results in damage and a stagger that can set up the next chain of a combo. The hands-on was a little too short to really go in-depth on these systems so it's difficult to ascertain exactly how the interplay between dodging, parrying, and swapping units really flows, but what was on display felt intuitive and

Even during the brief hands-on - and during conversation with the Kuro Games representative present during the hands-on - it became clear that Wuthering Waves has big plans for launch. There's a wide array of content immediately available, and when I asked about post-launch plans, there wasn't a concrete answer but an obvious indication it's something that's already a consideration. There's also the fact that the team has been so readily willing to listen to player feedback. A lot of the improved elements present in this hands-on and the second closed beta are a direct result of players' complaints from the first round of testing, with some pretty drastic redesigns already made in respo

Beyond materials tied to character & weapon growth, and those used to acquire new, limited units and arsenals, there are more simple resources to be aware of in Wuthering Waves , too. Shell Credits are the in-game currency used to acquire various purchases from character-owned shops, while Resonance Potions of varying rarities/effectiveness are what's used to level up Resonators. Energy Cores are similarly an EXP-based item, but used for weap

Other important items for the various shops available in Wuthering Waves are both Oscillate and Afterglow Coral, alongside Waveplates and Crystal Solvents. Coral is a resource accumulated during convenes that is given out in greater excess when acquiring a character or weapon the player already had; it's most obvious use is accumulating more Tides but it can be spent on other things for more patient players. Waveplates are tied to the game's energy resource system, allowing players to complete more content by topping up their Wavematt

While attending the Game Developers Conference 2024, Screen Rant was able to participate in a hands-on demonstration of a newer build of Wuthering Waves . Following a brief demonstration of mechanics from a member of the Kuro Games team, we were able to play through a brief combat section against a boss, an open-world puzzle, and some exploration of one of the game's settlements. Make no mistake: this game is unabashedly attempting to capitalize on the space Genshin Impact carved out for the genre years ago. But it does it well enough that it feels like it has its own identity,

Stable and Experimental Zones are permanent, with their challenges remaining the same, offering one-time rewards for collecting all crests (1800 Asterite in total, among other rewards). Conversely, the Hazard Zone’s rotating phases provide an ongoing challenge with varied enemies, allowing players to earn rewards (Up to 700 Asterite each rotation) repeatedly as long as they can complete the required crests in each rotation. Players will also be able to collect Hazard Records as they progress, allowing them to obtain additional rewarsd including Phantom Skins for Echo's, Premium Tuner, Credits and m

Calcharo is a strong main DPS in Wuthering Waves . He relies on his Resonance Liberation and he needs a team that can maximize his DMG. That being said, the team should be balanced between Supports and Sustain, which will give Calcharo the buffs he needs while keeping the team al

Balanced Team Compositions: To ensure success in ToA, it's essential to focus on building a few strong teams with key characters capable of handling different types of challenges. Each team should ideally consist of a DPS character (such as Jiyan, Encore, Calcharo, or Havoc Rover), a suitable Hybrid Support (like Jianxin, Yinlin, or Sanhua), and a Sustain character (such as Verina, Baizhe, or Taoqi). Given that players will receive three 5-star characters early in the game through free pulls, combined with other freely obtainable 4-star characters, they can build a useful team around them without needing to spend in the game.

For players who are yet to decide who to build, especially for ToA, it's advisable to prioritize Verina. Her strong healing abilities and party-wide buffs make her an invaluable asset, particularly when combined with a desired DPS character. By focusing on Verina and strategically selecting complementary characters, players can enhance their F2P Augusta Team's effectiveness and improve their chances of success in ToA sta
