Wuthering Waves - Best Convene Banner to Pull On

Banners are always active in Wuthering Waves and it might be confusing on which banner is the best to pull from. See the best banners to pull on based on the current meta, strategy on pulling if there are multiple banners, and more!

Phase 1 Pull Strategy

For the first phase of Version 2.8, we recommend pulling for Chisa if you have teams that specializes in applying negative statuses like Cartethyia, or Phoebe if you’re building around Spectro Frazzle. They can also work well together on the same team if you have enough funds to pull for both.

As usual, we only suggest pulling for the weapon if you already have the character. However, Luminous Hymn holds the lowest priority, as there are other standard and f2p options available.

Banner Explanation
Wuthering Waves - PhoebePhoebe
(1st)
Versatile Frazzle DPS-SubDPS Hybrid. Phoebe is a premier Spectro Frazzle Sub-DPS, especially in her Confession state. Her ability to switch between Absolution and Confession grants her the flexibility to function as either a Main or Sub-DPS, though she truly shines in Spectro Frazzle-focused teams.

This makes her an ideal partner for Zani, who can fully capitalize on the Spectro Frazzle stacks that Phoebe can apply with ease. This makes her a must pull if you opted to get Zani last patch.
Wuthering Waves - ChisaChisa
(2nd)
Flexible Negative Status Support. Chisa is a solid Havoc unit who fits seamlessly into teams that focus on applying debuffs, making her an excellent addition to current negative status meta teams such as Spectro Frazzle and Aero Erosion.

There is also potential for more debuff-oriented characters to be added in the game over time, which makes Chisa a smart early investment. Right now though, teams for Chisa are limited.
Wuthering Waves - Kumokiri Kumokiri
(3rd)
Kumokiri is an excellent choice for Chisa as it elevates her supportive capabilities by granting a team-wide DMG bonus. Do note though that the effects requires Negative Status effect application to trigger, otherwise it is not worth getting as a Support weapon.

It’s worth pulling for if you have extra funds; otherwise, the more accessible Lustrous Razor or a f2p option like Meditations on Mercy can sustain her well as a flexible Support or Sub-DPS unit.
Wuthering Waves - Luminous Hymn Luminous Hymn
(4th)
Pull for Luminous Hymn if you'd like to fully invest on Phoebe within a Spectro Frazzle team, as it allows her to perform impressively under that niche. Otherwise, a premium weapon like Stringmaster or a f2p option like Waltz in Masquerade serve as decent alternatives with generalized buffs.

Phase 1 4-Star Resonator Rate-Up Analysis

4★ Rate Up
Wuthering Waves - AaltoAalto Wuthering Waves - YuanwuYuanwu Wuthering Waves - TaoqiTaoqi

The 4-star character pool for this banner is decent enough, but Aalto is the best choice out of all three.

  • Aalto is an agile Aero DPS who doubles as an excellent buffer for Aero-focused teams. His quick Concerto Energy generation keeps his Outro Skill readily available, which is an advantage in a meta that values fast rotations. He shines in a lineup led by Cartethyia, especially if you don’t have Ciaccona.
  • Yuanwu is an Electro Resonator who performs well as an off-field Sub-DPS, gradually adopting a more supportive role as his Sequence Nodes are unlocked. His ability to reduce enemy Vibration Strength is his best feature, but its effectiveness is limited by the small radius of his Thunder Wedge, which won't be efficient against mobile enemies.
  • Taoqi is a Havoc Sub-DPS, and is one of the characters who did not age well in terms of meta. In a game environment where quick rotations are important, she suffers with slow Concerto Energy generation, resulting in extremely clunky rotations.
