Wuthering Waves 1.0 permanent Banners
Unlike the limited character and weapon Banners, these permanent Banners – which you can think of as the same thing as standard Banners in other gacha games – don’t have a time limit.
The first of the permanent character Banners is named Utterance of Marvels, which is specifically intended for Wuthering Waves novices. You’ll be able to pull 5-Star and 4-Star Resonators using the Lustrous Tide currency, and at least one 5-Star Resonator is guaranteed within 50 pulls.
After making 50 pulls on Utterance of Marvels, the Beginner’s Choice Convene will replace it. This is basically the same sort of Banner as Utterance of Marvels, except for the fact that you’re guaranteed a 5-Star Resonator in 80 pulls instead of 50. You can also select which 5-Star Resonator you want to pull. Once you obtain your chosen Resonator, the Beginner’s Choice Convene will disappear.
Once you’ve exhausted these newbie options, there’s Tidal Chorus, which is Wuthering Waves’ regular character Banner. As with Beginner’s Choice, you’re guaranteed a 5-Star Resonator in 60 pulls, but you can’t choose which one you want.
As of Wuthering Waves 1.0, you can obtain the following 5-Star Resonators via any of these three character Banners. To see how these characters stack up against the entire cast of the game, see our guide to all Resonators in Wuthering Waves.
- Calcharo
- Encore
- Verina
- Lingyang
- Jianxin
Wuthering Waves’ permanent weapon Banner is more self-explanatory than the various character Banners, and lets you obtain a 5-Star weapon within every 80 pulls. As of Wuthering Waves 1.0, you can obtain the following 5-Star Weapons, all of which belong to the Winter Brume weapon set:
- Abyss Surges (Gauntlets)
- Emerald of Genesis (Sword)
- Lustrous Razor (Broadblade)
- Static Mist (Pistols)
- Cosmic Ripples (Rectifier)
Now that you know which Resonators and weapons are available in each Banner, get out there and start making your pulls!
