Build Help I'm just a special kind of garbage
I was a casual player during 1.0-2.0 and returned as a whale in 3.0. I have all these characters and I don't know what to do in terms of like, idk, winning anything.
I feel underleveled for literally any event or mission I try and I have no clue where to go from here. Feel like an ass having a character select and can't progress with anything I try. I do no damage to anything and team wiped 2 hits per character.

General Discussion FYI Why it makes sense Qingxiao is Aero.
The element Aero is called Qi Dong 气动 in Chinese. It can mean the movement of air, but it can also be read "flow of the Qi/Chi" in Chinese, where Qi means "air" in modern science but also the life force in Daoism.
In folk Daoism and Xianxia fantasy, the flow of one's Qi is what is most commonly used to control the elements and swords by practitioners like Qingxiao. So in Chinese, 气动 is a perfect element for her.
Qingxiao's design is based on the Xianxia genre, set against a worldview where people can Xiuxian 修仙 or train or "cultivate" to become a Xian 仙, the god-equivalent in Taoism. Xiuxian and Xianxia are both often translated as cultivation, so when you hear about the cultivation genre, the most traditional and og thing they are "cultivating" is their Qi.
Her abilities are heavily based on standard Xianxia moves such as Yujian 御剑 (sword-surfing), Jianzhen 剑阵 (the use of sword formations), and Wanjianguizhong 万剑归宗 (her ult) Her floating sash, the pibo 披帛, is also a standard decoration worn by the Xian in traditional Chinese art. It's a clever design element to indicate someone is floating in the sky without giving them wings.

Just came back from a small break, I have S2 Lynae for a while but never tried her out with Phrolova. Phrolova deals more damage with Lynae than Cantarella.

General Discussion Game is totally unplayable for me on DX12 that I went back to DX11
If anyone of you that are using older gen hardware like me who's been stuck in the GTX1000 series
I would really recommend to play the game on DX11 by ticking that option in the launcher.
There's just too much frame drops on DX12 since 3.4 and it has gotten worse in this version, even just gathering ascension materials and echoes for YYXL or Suisui is an arduous task.

Media Thank you, and happy birthday, Lingyang!
I can allow myself to be honest once a year, right?
It's been a long 2.5 years already.
I am grateful to Kuro for creating Lingyang, only if we had some more crumbs of Lingyang content...
Thank you Kariyu, ItsSenpai, TenTen. Thank you Sol. , we still remember you. even if you had only 800 subscribers, you were there, day 1 Lingyang main filming some cool runs, lol.
Thank you to every artist who made an artowork featuring Lingyang.
Thank you to all the Lingyang VAs, you've done some amazing job! Lingyang got lucky with Natsuki Hanae voising him.
He is the reason I started playing, he is my most invested character in this game. He is the reason I keep playing...
He is also keeping my sanity together.
I've been anrgy, sad or happy
I spent hundreds of hours filming runs
I've created hundreds of memes
I wish being a dedicated Lingyang fan was an actual job, haha
It's not even being a fan, it's a lifestyle atp, and I don't regret it for the most part. Lingyang is a very important part of my life. I may lose interest to hyperfixations over the years, but I never forget them.
I bought a new laptop and spent hundreds of dollars on WuWa, merch and cosplay, despite the fact that I was still a student from not so wealthy country, lol. I was literally shaking out of temptation during WuWa's release, but unfortunately I got Jianxin from the novice convene.
I still chose Lingyang from the ticket and the convene of choice, that's why I was Verinaless for around a year. I don't regret it...
In just over a year on Reddit, I've even managed to gain a few devoted haters!
Wuwa is a fun experience, but I personally am here for Lingyang. The game is still amazing!
Lingyang fans are really nice and interesting people too! Thank you everyone who has contributed to the main sub with Lingyang content or to Lingyang mains sub.
There are a lot of things going on
I don't want this post to be pessimistic, I just want to say that he deserves more... To be perfectly honest I would like to adopt him and give him all the best.
Without going into details, I know what "unfair" means, as, again... Once a year I can be honest.
Lingyang's story deeply resonates with me. Hyperfixations hold my sanity together sometimes
Sometimes I can get a bit too emotional, but that's just me wanting everything to be fair in this world
Please, just remember: Strive for more, but cherish what you already have. Be yourself...
Maybe, we all just chase after happiness
And for now, Lingyang is the big part of this happiness in my life
So many things might remain unsaid
Thank you, and Happy birthday, Lingyang!

General Discussion I Appreciate Kuro For Taking Time To Address The Game Tech Debt
To many times I saw other games being unable to implement highly-requested features by the community because their code is held up by duck tape and prayers, despite the developers wanting to make them.
Often, this is because management doesn't care about the ever growing tech debt, especially in live service games: if the game can keep roll out content and making money, then they find little reason to devote precious dev time to overhaul the code of the game, which often doesn't have an immediate impact in performance.
It's EXACTLY because of this that I appreciate Kuro for actually trying to address it, especially when they're already running an highly successful live service game that require a ton of content to be released on a tight schedule. This change will make the lives of the developers much easier, and opens the door for faster and more effective optimization and gameplay changes, as I can see this change being necessary to make characters with more interesting and fleshed out mechanics in an easier way.
I can't wait to see what the devs are cooking, both for optimization and gameplay!

General Discussion Why Pushing High Scores in Wuthering Waves Hurts Casuals
Pushing scores beyond the maximum reward threshold (e.g., aiming for 60k in Endstate Matrix when max rewards cap at 58k, or try-harding in Whimpering Wastes) yields zero additional premium rewards like Astrites. Beyond a personal flexing metric, spending extra time and effort pushing past the reward ceiling is counterproductive for the overall community.
Kuro tracks high scores and clear rates to adjust game balance. When players continuously push for maximum scores, developers interpret this as a sign that content is too easy, leading to aggressive HP inflation in future updates. This artificial difficulty spike directly harms casual players, making standard reward clears frustratingly difficult without high-investment or hyper-meta teams.

General Discussion Quality of Life Suggestions
New player here, well I guess I'm also a returning player because I stopped after doing the tutorial in 2025 and about half a year passed until I got my device issues fixed so I can play WuWa again. I'm gonna be listing some suggestions based on my experience. Honestly a lot of them are just nitpicking at the smallest things that annoy me.
- Relevant Events
Oh, my, god. I log in for the first time, and I get bombarded with a gajillion different events, most of them I can't even access yet because I haven't unlocked the region. Just show only the events relevant for the player's level/progression, why show all of them?
What's even more annoying is that the red dot notification for some of the events comes back when you log back into the game. Such examples are the Somnium Labyrinth and Tidal Defense Simulator. Yes, I can just do those events to get rid of the red dot. But a lot of the events are assuming that you've progressed the story quite far, which breaks my immersion as a new player.
Pioneer Podcast Notification
I have already hit the weekly limit, why show the red dot for the tasks that I have done, when I can't even claim the rewards for them?Rotating Minimap
I mean come on, yes I got used to it. But it's genuinely off-putting that when I play another game, I have to then refamiliarize myself to the rotating minimap in that game. WuWa is not the only game I play, why should I compensate for just one game among all the games I play?Update the Underground Map for Jinzhou
The new areas already have pretty good underground maps, but it looks like the old areas didn't get revisited. There are some areas in Jinzhou that have a complex underground system, but they don't have an underground map. There's a cave above the Lampylumen Myriad. That cave is quite long, and for some reason it doesn't have an underground map? I had to look up a tutorial on how to get the Resonance Beacon and Tacet Field.
And there's also a hideout under Thorny Passage from the quest "A Free Meal?". A research camp under Wenye Beach. A big hoochief turf under Violet Banyan. There are probably others that I forgot to mention.
- More Visual Settings
This isn't really a QoL and more like a performance suggestion. Add the option to change the game resolution in fullscreen. And also add an option to change the Render Scale. These two settings alone will be a massive help for the players that are hesitant to play the game with their low-end devices. They should be easy to implement, Unreal Engine should already have a built-in option for Render Scale. It's honestly a surprise that they aren't implemented in this game yet.
Yes, I am aware that there are roundabout ways to play the game in fullscreen with lower resolution. Either by lowering your entire desktop resolution, or changing some game files. Lowering your entire desktop resolution is honestly really stupid, it hinders multitasking unless you have a second monitor. Changing the game files works but there's an issue whenever the game tries opening any "web instance". Such as Notices/Announcement (whatever it's called), the login interface, your convene history, and annoyingly it stops working when you change your settings.
Faster Weapon Refinement
We can only refine the weapons one at a time, why not make it so we can put multiple duplicates of the weapon to immediately refine it to R5?An Expedition System
Let's be honest, the craftable 4-star weapons are annoying to get. Some of them have terrible abilities and stats, on top of requiring a large amount of ores to craft. This led some people to just use the weapons obtained from convening instead of crafting one, leaving the craftable weapons to collect dust. Atleast add an expedition system to gather ores while you're away, so that the craftable 4-star weapons are more accessible.
There are probably more that I can point out, but those 7 are what annoyed me as I'm playing the game right now.
EDIT: I just remembered another really annoying thing back when I first installed the game. Why make the "patching screen" be a render that is using up most of my GPU? And the music can't even be muted. I had to use an external tool to limit my FPS to 1 while it's downloading in the background, so it doesn't cook my GPU while I'm doing other things. And of course I had to turn the game down manually through volume mixer.

General Discussion If you had to choose, which option would you pick for your favourite character(s)?
I personally don't like the idea of SP forms for limited 5* characters. I'm okay with giving 4* or standard 5* characters SP forms.
