What are Tides in Wuthering Waves?

Tides are the currency you use to pull on Banners (AKA Convenes) in Wuthering Waves. There are three types of Tides in the game:

• Lustrous Tides – Used for pulling on the permanent Utterance of Marvels, Beginner’s Choice, and Tidal Chorus Banners.
• Radiant Tides – Used for pulling on the rotating event character and weapon Banners.
• Forging Tides – Used for pulling on the permanent Winter Brume weapon Banner.

Radiant Tides are the rarest of all, as they are required to pull on the limited-time event character and weapon Banners that rotate every three weeks. The 5-Star characters and weapons on these event Banners aren’t available in the permanent Banner pools, which is why it’s a good idea to save up your Astrite and convert it into Radiant Tides, rather than Lustrous or Forging Tides.

It’s up to you how to spend your Astrite, but whatever you decide, you need to go to the ‘Tidal Exchange’ tab of the ‘Item Exchange’ part of the in-game shop in order to convert your Astrite currency into the Tides you want.

The exchange rate is one Tide per x160 Astrite, and Astrite can be earned by redeeming codes, completing events, quests, opening chests, and other activities by just playing Wuthering Waves. Or, you can buy Lunite with your real money to convert into Astrite.

Now that you understand what they are, here’s how to get all types of Tides in Wuthering Waves:
