Wuthering Waves Banners Never Fall Zone 5 Guide

Full Clear Route

To fully clear Zone 5's challenge banners while also collecting all Trophy Chests within the area, start from challenge banner 17 and work your way around the zone, starting north, then heading down south.

Zone 5 Blue Banner of Conquest Location

The only Blue Banner of Conquest is located inside the building west within the boundaries of Elite challenge banner 20. Walking to the building will trigger the battle with the Lioness of Glory if you haven't defeated her yet, so remain cautious!

Upon activating the blue banner, you'll be granted the Mirror Blessing buff which unlocks all locked glory Level buffs though their effects are reduced by half.

Zone 5 Red Banner of Conquest Locations

Recommended Team Composition

Recommended Attribute
Wuthering Waves - GlacioGlacio Wuthering Waves - SpectroSpectro

Best Premium Teams

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Zani IconZani Phoebe IconPhoebe Shorekeeper IconShorekeeper
Carlotta IconCarlotta Zhezhi IconZhezhi Shorekeeper IconShorekeeper

The best Premium team for this Zone, despite some enemies with high spectro RES in the area, features Zani, Phoebe, and Shorekeeper. Zani’s strong Vibration Strength depletion synergizes well with the Glory Level buff that increases damage against immobilized enemies. Partnered with Phoebe's support in Spectro Frazzle application and Shorekeeper's Crit buffs, you're guaranteed to melt through the Elite boss thoroughly!

A secondary option includes Carlotta, Zhezhi, and Shorekeeper. The Lioness of Glory relies on fast-paced attacks and shielding, but Carlotta’s freeze and consistent pressure counter her well. Zhezhi boosts her Glacio DMG, while Shorekeeper support with heals and Crit buffs, making this trio highly effective for both the Elite and general enemies.

Best F2P Teams

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Rover (Spectro) IconRover (Spectro) Yuanwu IconYuanwu Baizhi IconBaizhi
Zhezhi IconZhezhi Sanhua IconSanhua Baizhi IconBaizhi

A good free-to-play team would include Spectro Rover, Yuanwu, and Baizhi. This composition places Spectro Rover at the core, with Yuanwu serving as the team's Vibration Strength depleter, while Baizhi provides ATK buffs and reliable healing support.

For a Glacio team, consider Zhezhi, Sanhua, and Baizhi. Zhezhi and Sanhua have strong synergy through their Outro Skills, enhancing each other’s strengths, while Baizhi rounds out the team with consistent healing and additional buffs. If Zhezhi is unavailable, you may still replace her with Spectro Rover!

Zone 5 Challenge Banner Guides

Banner 17 Banner 18
Banner 19 Banner 20

Challenge Banner 17

Enemies
Wuthering Waves - Flamecrest Gladiator Flamecrest Gladiator
Glory Level: 440
Enemy Details
The enemies have a higher RES against Fusion DMG.

Much like its counterparts, the Flamecrest Gladiator also uses slow, predictable attacks, giving you plenty of windows to strike and melt them. This is especially effective if you're not running a Fusion-based team against him.

Before initiating this combat, we recommend activating the blue banner in Zone 4 first to boost your damage against Common and Elite enemies.

Challenge Banner 18

Enemy
Wuthering Waves - Diurnus Knight Diurnus Knight
Glory Level: 465
Enemy Details
The enemies have a higher RES against Spectro DMG.

The Diurnus Knight is a master of dishing out fast-paced combos, and gives you a window of opportunity to strike as they recover from each combo. Capitalize on those moments of rest and melt through their HP!

If you haven't yet, make sure you've activated the Smash buff from the blue flag in Zone 4, as this'll make your encounters with Elite enemies much easier.

Challenge Banner 19

Enemy
Wuthering Waves - Lightcrusher Lightcrusher
Glory Level: 480
Enemy Details
The enemies have a higher RES against Spectro DMG.

Climbing higher on the attack speed scale is the Lightcrusher, a fast and highly mobile foe. Carlotta is ideal for this fight thanks to her freezing abilities, which can halt its momentum. If she’s unavailable, focus on dodge-counters and counterattacks to maximize bonus damage from the Glory Level buffs you've already accumulated.

Ideally, face this enemy at or near Glory Level 500, where the Vibration buff becomes available. This lets you significantly reduce its Vibration Strength through attacks and counterattacks.

Elite Challenge Banner 20

Elite Enemy
Wuthering Waves - Lioness of Glory Lioness of Glory
Glory Level: 675
Elite Enemy Details
The enemies have a higher RES against Fusion DMG.
When Arsinosa hits a target, the target's STA is reduced by 100%, triggered once every 10s. Upon entering the battle, Arsinosa gains a Shield equal to 20% of her Max HP. If she hasn't taken damage for over 10s, she gains a Shield equal to 20% of her Max HP. When Arsinosa hits a target, the target's Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation's cooldown is extended by 5s, triggered once every 5s.

Before facing the Lioness of Glory, make sure your Glory Level is at 500, the maximum. During battle, your in-battle Glory Level can rise up to 200 Levels more, unlocking exclusive buffs that significantly enhance your performance.

She starts the fight with a shield covering 20% of her HP. Break it quickly and maintain constant pressure to prevent it from regenerating. Focus on reducing her Vibration Strength to immobilize her, which is made easy with the Vibration buff unlocked at Glory Level 500.

Once immobilized, the Crushmark buff, unlocked at Glory Level 550, doubles your damage against her, letting you capitalize on her vulnerability and potentially melt through her HP easily.

Optional: Have a Ranged Character in The Team

Bring Ranged Characters

Optionally, bringing a Pistol Resonator can prove useful in this battle, as they can hit the Lioness of Glory even when she levitates and rains attacks from above. Landing just one hit during this phase prevents her from gaining a 20% Shield, which activates if she remains unhit for 10 seconds.

Strong premium picks include Carlotta and Ciaccona, while Aalto serves as a solid free-to-play alternative.
