Wuthering Waves guide – 7 tips to calm the waves

As a seasoned gamer with years of MMORPG experience under my belt, let me tell you, dear friend, that Wuthering Waves is no walk in the park. This game has got more twists and turns than a rollercoaster ride through the Swiss Alps!

In this digital gaming landscape, I find myself immersed in a wave of games heavily influenced by anime and Donghua. It seems like the characters I encounter are mostly portrayed as teenagers, yet it’s evident that they’re far from their school days due to magical or scientific advancements, or perhaps they’re not even human at all, as my imagination fills in the blanks.

1) In terms of player numbers, Genshin Impact continues to thrive. Meanwhile, Honkai Star Rail has arrived on the bustling platform. Most recently, we have Wuthering Waves, a captivating tale that blends science fiction and magic in an alternate universe.

Do yourself a favour and try not to look too closely at the plot and lore of the game – there just simply isn’t enough corkboard and red string. What you should focus on is the 3D solo MMORPG – you’ll be playing a human-looking character affectionately called “Rover”, who arrives on a planet where everything is soundwave-based.

To truly experience it, you should attune yourself to its vibrations, for sound-emitting entities possess a tangible reality like any other. Don’t hesitate to counteract their discordant tones when necessary. The world of Wuthering Waves is rich and complex, so here are some useful guidelines to navigate through it effectively.

1 Tip #1 – Match your attack timing

You may be imbued with power from beyond time and space or something, but you have a definite weakness to monsters (called Discords) hitting you in the face and everywhere else. When you’re fighting monsters, they all have a certain rhythm that they follow and will switch it up based on whether you’re on the offence or defence. You can bait monsters into attacking by striking with combos until they start using distinct attacks. Look for the golden glows and match your strikes to the resonating rings to do heavy damage and briefly stun enemies. The more you do this, the more your Resonance energy will build up.

2 Tip #2 – Have a varied group of Resonators

Like Genshin Impact, you’ll have a team of ageless romantic drama cast members following you around, but they’ll never be on the field at the same time. Your selected teammates will instead be in some nether space until they’re called into battle. When they are, they’ll instantly replace Rover and enter with an impact attack. As you’ve probably figured out just by looking at the game, each Resonator is different in their own ways through stats, behaviours, default gear, and abilities. The more diverse your team is, the more situations you’ll be able to tackle and Rover can be built to cover any holes in your team strategy.

3 Tip #3 – Play around with Echoes

This game has a little bit of Pokemon in it when it comes to how you’ll interact with the remains of Discords called Echoes. When slaying Discords, there’s a chance they’ll leave behind a glowing after-image known as an Echo. These can be absorbed and stored in the cyberpunk gourd that is taking up perfectly good fanny-pack space. Whenever you absorb an Echo, you’ll improve your connection level and gain access to that Discord’s form and specialized ability. They can be equipped in the reserve slots or the active slot. When active, Echoes provide an additional skill that lets you briefly transform into them to see how they affect the battle.

4 Tip #4 – Seek out Resonance Nexuses

As with most strange worlds that may or may not be virtual (or some headache-inducing abstract concept), you have no idea where you are or what things look like. No one is going around selling maps, but folks are building high-tech signposts around the land. These are the Resonance Nexuses and as you can guess, Resonators can link to them. Every time you see one of these things poking out of the ground, you should head over to it and link up. Once you do, you’ll get some rewards and the Nexus will do its thing of revealing a large portion of the map and sending it directly to your databank.

5 Tip #5 – Collect EVERYTHING

Since this is a solo MMORPG, you can no longer rely on the kindness of strangers…who aren’t NPCs. You’ll be building up Rover to be the character that you want them to be as you go through the story and complete missions. This means that you’ll be spending a lot of time running around this vast world, looking for anything interesting and fighting anything that rubs you the wrong way. Of course, you’ll encounter a lot of materials like plants and minerals just waiting to be picked. If it glows, it has some kind of value, so do your best to collect as much as you carry.

6 Tip #6 – Have a weapon for each occasion

When you start, you’ll have a training sword that serves its function of slicing, slashing, and being thrown like a razor-sharp hula hoop. It leads you into the combat so that you can get a feel for fighting, rhythm, impact, and enemy tactics. After a while, you’ll get some new weapons and Resonators with default attack styles. Use the different weapon types so that you can see how they perform, test their timing, and whether some are better suited to your play style. This is a game that supports both cowboys and swordsmen, even though there are no actual cows.

7 Tip #7 – Follow up on Events

Since this is an online world created just for you, nothing really happens unless you’re there to participate. Events and seasons may pass, but you only have the game’s word for it if you don’t actively participate in any of them. Always check the feed and alerts for new announcements and updates since that’s one of the easier ways to quality gear. The story missions are fine and dandy, but the events are where a lot of the game’s flair is. They give you something new to break up the routine and end with a reward for your efforts. You can always find the calendar on the official Wuthering Waves website.
