Wuthering Waves - Best Convene Banner to Pull On

Each Convene banner in Wuthering Waves has its own worth in value, with each one being different based on who is on rate-up. Here are the Best Convene Banners for players to pull on!

Pull Lynae to Enable Tune-Break Meta

Lynae Convene Splash

Lynae is the first new 5-star character to debut in Version 3.0 and is an amazing unit to get for the value she brings to multiple teams. As a sub-DPS, Lynae contributes a lot to the team's overall damage, especially with her Tune Break skill.

She also gives multiple All-Type DMG buffs that essentially allows her to be slotted into different teams. With 3.0 introducing a new mechanic, she's worth pulling for to kick-off a potentially new meta.

Get Cartethyia For the Best Aero DPS

Wuthering Waves Cartethyia Limited Banner

Cartethyia has proven herself to be an extremely strong DPS unit since her release from 2.4. Being the premier damage dealer for Aero Erosion teams, she can both apply this debuff onto enemies in her base form and hit like a truck during her Fleurdelys form.

If you're considering to build an Aero Team, Cartethyia is the best choice to start with, viable even without her signature sub-DPS, Ciaccona.

Get Ciaccona for an Awesome Aero Sub-DPS

Wuthering Waves Ciaccona Resonator Banner

If you pulled for Cartethyia or already have her, the next best character to pull for in this banner is Ciaccona as she practically enables Cartethyia to stay in her Fleurdelys form due to her consistent Aero Erosion application.

As a 5-star sub-DPS character, she also provides Aero teams a multitude of buffs related to the attribute, especially with Aero Erosion. Get her to significantly increase the Aero Erosion team's damage potential.

Ciaccona Best Builds and Teams

Phase 1 Pull Strategy

For the first phase of Version 3.0, all characters are worth getting depending on your situation. That said, Cartethyia is the best starting choice for being an already proven DPS unit that can rise up to be among the best.

If you want an overall strong sub-DPS and potential enabler for a new meta, Lynae is worth considering. Meanwhile, Ciaccona is a significant upgrade to Aero teams, but is unrecommended otherwise.

Banner Explanation
Wuthering Waves - CartethyiaCartethyia
(1st)
Aero Erosion DPS. Cartethyia has been a meta-defining unit for her huge damage output and is quite free-to-play friendly due to her being strong even without her dedicated supports. She also scales off HP, making her quite durable and somewhat has innate healing when switching between her forms. If you're starting out, you can't go wrong with pulling for her first.
Wuthering Waves - LynaeLynae
(2nd)
Tune Break Enabler. As a unit, Lynae is definitely a generalistic character that can be slated into multiple teams and still perform to the level expected of her. Dealing good damage on her own, she also provides multiple All-Type DMG buffs. Looking at her debut, she signifies a strong and drastic meta change to the game.
Wuthering Waves - CiacconaCiaccona
(3rd)
Aero Erosion Applicator. If playing with an Aero team, Ciaccona is the best sub-DPS in this niche attribute. She is the best upgrade you can have for Cartethyia, providing amazing Aero Erosion application and grouping with her kit. She also has a multitude of Aero-related DMG buffs, making her a premier Aero Sub-DPS.
Wuthering Waves - Defier Defier's Thorn
(4th)
Defier's Thorn is a very strong weapon to have, but is only ever viable with Cartethyia. It provides a lot of HP, which she scales off of, and increases DMG dealt thanks to its DEF ignore and DMG Amplification if there are Aero Erosion stacks.
Wuthering Waves - Spectrum Blaster Spectrum Blaster
(5th)
Spectrum Blaster is one of the best weapons to have in the game for its high base stats, buffs to Basic Attack DMG, and Crit. value. The weapon also gives an All DMG increase of up to 24% for all Resonators in the team which is pretty much invaluable if you have Lynae.
Wuthering Waves - Woodland Aria Woodland Aria
(6th)
Woodland Aria is a good investment for Ciaccona, as it gives a high Crit Rate stat while also giving Aero DMG Bonus and Aero RES reduction. That said, only Ciaccona will have practical use of this weapon.

Phase 1 4-Star Resonator Rate-Up Analysis

4★ Rate Up
Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Wuthering Waves - YouhuYouhu Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi

The banner's 4-stars have their own strengths and unique teams they synergize with. However, all of them are outclassed by other characters and are not worth getting on their own.

  • Yangyang is an Aero Sub-DPS unit and one of the free characters you can get at the start of the game. Aside from providing extra Energy Regen, she doesn't have much value to other Resonators.
  • Youhu is a Glacio healer unit with a versatile kit thanks to her Antiques, allowing her to change between them and target enemies' weaknesses. However, her healing is quite mediocre and her utility isn't that effective.
  • Baizhi is a Glacio healer unit and one of the free characters at the start of the game. She is a decent healer and can provide buffs to Glacio teams, especially with higher Sequence Nodes. However, she is generally outshined by premium support units.
