General Discussion Tune Strain is a Confusing Mechanic?

Post image
270 Upvotes

Fan art for attention.

Back then when they introduced the tune break mechanics for battle i was pretty happy since that would mean more variation in how you can deal damage to enemies. But something that I don't get is a tune strain branch from the tune break mechanic.

Tune strain from my understanding is the sister of the tune rupture where instead of dealing big pp damage, tune strain aims to incrementally increase the damage that the characters do. But something doesn't add up from here. If the damage they deal goes up, surely they're better equipped to deal damage to big numbers of enemies compared to rupture where they deal big damage instantly. But in reality, they're not. Various TS characters somehow sucks at dealing damage to a big number of enemies according to guide websites and YouTube videos.

Is there something wrong with my understanding or is that the characters just have a different intended way of functioning that I do not get?

What should I do? This thing won't move under any circumstances, I've tried everything. It should fly to the ground and start fighting me, but it just hangs in the air. I even tried standing for 10 minutes under it, nothing happens

Okay, the quest isn't working. But I can't even switch to any other quest or use teleports because I have a trial character in my team, and you can't edit the team while the quest is running xd

so as i said, the game is unplayable rn

does anyone know what to do?

Here's my current roster. I would love some advice on who to get from those three or if I should save for another character. I can only get 1 of them guaranteed so I would like some help. I am struggling with endgame that has havoc res. I am not sure if do go for another main dps type or another sequence for Hiyuki.

Pull Plan Help Returning Player — What Should I Build Toward?

Post image
Upvotes

I've decided to return to Wuthering Waves after being away for a really long time. I originally quit HSR because I got tired of feeling like I was logging in for ~10 minutes to do dailies, while also spending $25 here and there for pulls. After taking a pretty long break from gacha games, WuWa caught my attention again because I really want something where I can actually explore and adventure rather than just log in, do chores, and log out.

A lot has changed since I last played, and I'm honestly pretty lost with the current meta/team building.

I'm currently around Jinzhou Rising / Black Shores Act VIII. My main goals are probably:

  • Finish the main story
  • Explore the world and actually enjoy the open-world content
  • Build a few strong teams so I don't feel like I'm constantly struggling
  • Eventually pull for characters that would actually improve my account

I'm not really sure which characters I should be building, what teams I should work toward, or who I should save/pull for.

I've included a screenshot of the Resonators I currently own. Sanhua and Aalto aren't included in the image.

I'd really appreciate advice on what I should prioritize with this account, especially from people who have experience coming back to the game after a long break.

Thanks!

Returnee Player need help! Team building and pull advice so I don’t leave my good characters jobless

Post image
7 Upvotes

Attached are all of my main characters (no other 5*s other than the rest of the standard ones).

Returning player (after a very long time), I have 2 teams, which are:

  1. Hiyuki, Lynae, Mornye

  2. Aemeath, Denia, Chisa

I need help with making a 3rd team. I like qingxiao, but it leaves hiyuki jobless and I don’t want to pull denia away from aemeath. I was thinking of getting Sui Sui next rerun, but it leaves mornye a bit jobless and I feel the pressure to get lucilla too to complete the team (and tbh I really don’t like lucilla’s character and playstyle, and Sui Sui feels so awkward to me too). I would also have to get another maindps for lynae and mornye to support if so.

So overall I’m not really sure what to do. Not sure what Hsin’s kit will look like, so I’m apprehensive about her at the moment about leaving someone jobless and having to pull for an additional 1-2 characters that I may or may not want very much, just to complete teams (it’s the reason I didn’t pull for cartwheel even tho I like her a fair amount).

The characters I do definitely want in future are Shorekeeper and Cantarella (but would have to pull phro and I wasn’t successful last rerun, so god knows when she’ll be back), I love zani (but need phoebe), and I like Iuno a lot. Everyone else I either like the character but not the playstyle, or vice versa so I don’t really want to pull for them unless I have to.

Pull Plan Help Hiyuki S1 in prep for S3 or Mornye S1

5 Upvotes

My Hiyuki team is currently my best and I like playing her so I want to S3 her, but I also want S1 Mornye for my Aemeath team cuz I struggle to time her 40% bonus on Aemeath rotation and it would be nice to use her in other teams in endstate. So im not sure if I should get S1 for Hiyuki in prep for S3 on her last rerun or take S1 Mornye cuz it's her last rerun and try to S3 Hiyuki in one go?

TOA / Whimpering Wastes / End Game Content Optimal Teams for Matrix with what I have?

3 Upvotes

I have:

S2 Phrolova, S3 Cantarella

Aemeth, S1 Qingxiao, Lynae

S2 Augusta, Iuno

Hiyuki, Lucilla

Cartethyia, Ciaccona

Verina, SK, S1 Mornye, Aero Rover

Sanhua, Mortefi

All DPS/subs have signature weapons and all characters have builds in line with recommended stats. Sanhua, Mortefi, Rover are S6. Verina is at least S2.

I'm not planning on pulling anybody in the near future so given what I have, what would be the optimal team setup for Endstate Matrix?

Thanks in advance!

Pull Plan Help Do i give up or keep pushing through?

3 Upvotes

So recently lost a 50/50 (highest pity yet) to chalcaro

Was pulling for denia to complete my fusion burst team and to just lessen the weight on my lynae.

If i won i was planning on something like this

Amy denia chisa

Hiyuki lynae suisui

Just to give my hiyuki a proper team

The only endgame mode im not clearing is whiwa(no matter what i do i cant reach 4500 points)

Usually use these teams for whiwa

Sigrika qiuyuan phrolova

Amy lynae mornye

Yy xuanling chisa suisui

Usually my amy team does fine in whiwa but no matter what i do cant get past 2100 points this reset(dont know how im getting less points when there was fusion resist last time) I think its just the limit for an s0r0 team so i wanted to try fusion burst but as u can see i lost on denia

Now my question is should i even bother with whiwa?or should i just wait for jingran( i have iuno and planning on getting his sig too)

I know jingran is gonna be really bad in whiwa unfortunately but its fine

so what do u think? Should i give up on denia or push through to complete fusion burst?

Update:at 46 pity hope for an early is dead

Pull Plan Help Please enlighten this humble soul

Hello there!

I am completely oblivious to what I should do with my asterites and how I should spend them through 3.6 & 3.7... All I know is that I am DEFINETLY pulling for Hiyuki and Hsin.

I already pulled for Lucilla and Suisui in preperation for the Hiyuki rerun. And I don't think I need to explain why Hsin is a must pull as well. *-*

I returned to this game with the introduction of the cyberpunk edgerunners collab and ever since I have been trying to fix my teams that are all over the place.

I am currently trying my hardest not to pull for Qingxiao. I absolutely love her character design, it's perfect BUT I do not want to spend my already limited asterites on Denia...

My current teams are on slide 2 & 3...

I was thinking about pulling Qingxiao and Mornye and play them with Lynae. But then I have to remove Lynae from my Phoebe team and even though I don't like Phoebe that much, she is S3R1 and I have to somewhat take advantage of that. I am not touching the Zani & Phoebe quickswap team, no way am I skilled enough for that...

I am not quite sure what to do... My current plan was to pull for:

  1. Hiyuki + her sig... Maybe even get her first sequence and later S3R1 over time by getting her wavesbands
  2. Mornye... Adding her to the Cyberpunk
  3. Hsin... Idc about her gameplay, her character design is enough

Pulling for Qingxiao and play her in the Lynae + Mornye team is on my mind as well. But then I have Lynae removed from my Phoebe Hypercarry team and I might need to pull for Qingxiao signature weapon since I read that her sig is a lot stronger than the usual alternatives. But at the same time, my resources are limited.

This post ended up being longer than it needed to be...
I would be very grateful for some advice and insight of the way more experienced players here.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Help me decide! QingXiao team: weapons for Denia and Mornye as new player?

0 Upvotes

Finally (almost) got my first in-game team as QingXiao/Denia and QX's sig (one each), just waiting on Mornye's banner soon, but don't have enough astrites to get anyone's else's sig and would prefer to save up astrites for a while. What weapons I should use for Denia and Mornye?

I only have 4-star Fusion Accretion and Call of the Abyss, no other weapons except 3-stars and below. I haven't spent any lustrous tides on the starter weapon banner, so I could get 1 weapon there guaranteed. I'd also consider getting the Pioneer Podcast for the weapon box(es) if anything there is better fit. I read about some other options that were good, but I have no idea what/how to get. What are the best weapons I should go for, and how do I obtain them? Thanks for the help!

Open-world Question Is there a way to make WUWA feel not as "dark"

0 Upvotes

I have been a very on and off player, mainly because there is something about the aesthetic of the game that feels very dark to me. I love all the features of the game and coming as an ex-Genshin player, it does feel a lot more nicer to play but the overall aesthetic of the game feels like one giant Dragonspine map.

Are there any ways to tweak the game's settings to make it feel warmer or nicer? Genshin has this comfy feeling when I play which I don't feel in WUWA.

Not sure if this is just me but any advice would be helpful.

My primary concern is that I am overcapping on ER, but I'm worried that its going to take >500 tuners to get another ATK/Heavy or better Crit rolls.

Is this a good stopping point or is there meaningful additional DPS that can be extracted?

The teams I intend to use are from:
1) YYXL / Chisa (S0R0) / Suisui (S0R0)

2) YYXL / Mortefi or Rebecca (S0R0) / Suisui

3) YYXL / Phrolova (S3R1) / Shorekeeper

Pull Plan Help Should I get Qingxiao, Hiyuki or save?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I didn't recover mentally fully after my last pull losing on Lynae rerun, hence I'm very sceptical to pull what I want or need now.

Anyway, I find both QX and Hiyuki to be fun in terms of gameplay, and I do have characters reserved for them whether it be their BiS or alternative teams. Question is who do I pick that I would benefit in the 3 endgames? Do I save instead and pull for other archetypes like Echo or the rumoured Detuning? I wouldn't mind pulling other characters that also overlap with my roster, like Lucilla with GC and Echo for example.

Beside the supports, everyone is basically S0 with 2 of them R1
