If you’re trying to pull a limited character in Wuthering Waves, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s a pity system that ensures you can obtain them as long as you throw enough money and resources at the game.
Learning the hard and soft pity limits is one of the first things you should do when familiarizing yourself with a new gacha game, and while Wuthering Waves draws a lot of inspiration from another open-world anime RPG gacha game that shall not be named. Here’s what you need to know about theWuthering Waves pity system.
Wuthering Waves Gacha Rates Listed
Wuthering Waves borrows most of its gacha mechanics from other games in the genre, so the rates are similar to what you’d see elsewhere.
You’re guaranteed to get a 5-star Resonator after 80 pulls on acharacter banner, and the rate at which you draw 5-star units is0.8%. The rate for 4-star Resonators and weapons on character banners is6%. The same goes forweapon Convenes, where the rate for pulling a 5-star item is0.8%and the rate for pulling 4-star items is6%.
On all banners, the probability of obtaining a 3-star item is93.2%. Plus, you’re guaranteed to get a 4-star item every 10 pulls.
Wuthering Waves Pity System Explained
Wuthering Waves has a pity system just like most other gacha games. Thehard pity limit is 80for both character and weapons Convenes.There’s a 50/50 for limited 5-star Resonators, however, so you may not get the featured character for your first 5-star pull. The second 5-star you pull from that banner is guaranteed to be the featured Resonator if you lose the first 50/50, though.
Weapon Convenes do not have a 50/50 systemin Wuthering Waves. The hard pity is still 80 for weapons, but the first 5-star weapon you obtain from the banner is guaranteed to be the featured one.
At the moment,we don’t know if there is a soft pity systemin Wuthering Waves. There are conflicting answers from the beta tests. Some people report that there isno soft pity systemat all, while others think that soft pity begins at around65 pullsor so with gacha rates slowly increasing from there. Kuro’s previous title, Punishing Gray Raven, has no soft pity. However, Wuthering Waves draws a lot of inspiration from Hoyoverse titles, which do have soft pity. We’ll update this post once we learn more from the official release.
If the gacha gods don’t look favorably upon you, causing you to lose your 50/50 or have terrible luck with pulls, then you’ll be pleased to learn that there are a ton of ways to getfree units in Wuthering Waves. These include 5-star Resonators, too, so you can build up a solid team without spending a dime.
