How to Sprint

Sprint by holding right-click on the mouse for PC or tap and hold the dash button on mobile to sprint in Wuthering Waves (WuWa). See here to know how to sprint, how to wall run, and know what overdash challenges are!

How to Sprint

Hold Right-Click or Left Shift to Sprint

When playing on keyboard and mouse, hold right click on the mouse to sprint or dodge when playing on mouse and keyboard. Sprinting will only take a little bit of stamina at first, but will regenerate quickly.

Does Sprinting Drain Stamina?

Sprinting Normally Does Not Drain Stamina

Sprinting only takes away a bit of stamina after pressing the dash button, but holding it while sprinting does not consume Stamina at all and regenerates quickly.

Wall Running however, consumes stamina until the player stops running or climbing a surface, and will only regenerate when standing or walking at a safe area.

Running Away From Enemies Drains Stamina

During an encounter, running away from enemies also drains stamina quickly. To regenerate stamina again, stop for a moment then continue walking away and steer clear of enemies in the area to avoid getting targeted.

How to Wall Run

Sprint on Solid Surfaces to Wall Run

Wall Running is another use of Sprint! There will be areas where players need to sprint, wall run, or glide their way to unlock a Resonance Beacon, or a Resonance Nexus .

Take note that when Stamina runs out, players will drop mid-sprint, cannot access the glider, or use an ability to avoid fall damage. Players will also drown while swimming and will be brought back to a safer location afterwards.

What is an Overdash Challenge?

Challenges that Require Sprinting

Overdash Challenges can be found by spotting a purple dash icon and depending on the location of the challenge, it comes in different types.

These challenges are always timed and can be repeated until all rewards are collected so make sure to complete all of them to get extra resources!
