Wuthering Waves offers a character and weapon acquisition system called Convene, which functions similarly to gacha mechanics in other games. Through Convene, you’ll collect Resonators (characters) and powerful weapons to conquer challenges and build your dream team.

New players get a special welcome with the Novice Convene. Here, you can enjoy a discounted price for your first 10 pulls and a guaranteed 5-star Resonator within 50 attempts.

For those seeking the latest and greatest, there are special Event Convenes. These limited-time banners offer exclusive Resonators and weapons you won’t find anywhere else.

Of course, you can always rely on the standard Convene for regular draws, offering a wider pool of both Resonators and weapons.

The game implements a system to ensure you eventually get a high-rarity character. This is called pity. After drawing unsuccessfully 80 times, the next 5-star Resonator you pull is guaranteed.

However, there’s a chance element involved, where there’s a 50% chance you’ll get the featured character from the banner or a random standard 5-star Resonator.

Weapon banners function differently. In the Weapon Event Convene, every weapon you pull is guaranteed to be the featured one. This means you can target specific weapons to optimize your team’s capabilities.

The standard Weapon Permanent Convene offers more flexibility. Here, you can choose the type of weapon you desire, giving you more control over the weapons you acquire.
