On some funny news regarding the wuwa story I always laugh on the two sides of the player base specifically here and twitter vs Reddit. I'll use the Lingyang story.

Reddit is like "oh I hate Lingyang story it made no sense! I liked his old beta design. The story was all over place"

Everyone here and Twitter are like "oh no precious boy is trying to be imitating but is more like a young lion trying to growl"

Like I'm sorry that the Jingle Beast may sound cringe but here in the US we have a monster literally named Bigfoot because he is know for the big foot prints he leaves behind. Same thing with Jingle Beast.

Hell these people aren't even satisfied with Jiyan story. They keep complaining about how everything is all over the place. Yinlin I understand because it felt rushed but overall I like the direction of her story instead of just being another evil Dom mommy or another Kafka

eh idk abt that, i saw plenty ppl criticize on twt too (not that i seek it out, i rlly dont care tbh)

wuwa has weak story. its ok to say that or criticize stuff you enjoy. i still like the game bc of its aesthetics and concept etc, thats why i still bother w it in hopes it gets better writing. idk what else to say to this anymore?

[wutherwaves]

hello! may i ask for advice how to build calcharo and aalto? tysm!

ofc! as always a lot of this is STC, subjective, and i'm always open to editing in any differing information from others

this one'll be a bit long so i'll put the whole thing under a read more ^^

additionally, let me know if i should create a tag for these posts? or if i should be putting them in the main tags (wuwa tags and char tags)?

sources used:

wuthering.gg (most info) | prydwen.gg (echo set effects)

CALCHARO

BASIC NOTION - calcharo is a main DPS (eating up a lot of field time). his kit largely revolves around comboing his skill and heavy attacks (HA), though his resonance liberation also buffs his basic attacks (BA)

as a DPS, calcharo will want attack, both crits, electro damage bonus, and potentially a little energy regen

TEAMMATES - he pairs well with yinlin, whose outro skill will buff electro DMG for the next resonator by +20% for 14 sec or until swapping again

(she also buffs resonance lib. dmg but this only affects his initial burst on lib.)

he can also pair well with mortefi, as his outro buffs heavy attack damage by +38% for the same above conditional duration

-

WEAPON CHOICES

5* - Verdant Summit [CRIT DMG]. (limited - Jiyan's signature) resonance DMG (skill + lib.) up by +12%. when either is cast, HA DMG is increased by +24% up to 2x, for up to 14 seconds.

4* - choose what applies best for you out of Autumntrace [CRIT RATE] and Helios Cleaver [ATK%] -> the former buffs ATK by 10% after BA or HA, up to 3x, for up to 10 sec -> the latter buffs ATK by 3% every 2 sec over 12 sec (6x) up to 4x.

3* - Guardian Broadblade [ATK%]. BA and HA DMG is buffed by +12%

-

ECHO CHOICES

SET – 5-piece Electro (Electro DMG +10% + after HA or Resonance Skill, Electro DMG +15% x2 temporarily) (peak of +40% Electro DMG)

EVENT RECOMMENDATION – Violet-Feathered Heron [3] (see echo summon event post)

at maximum terminal level, 12 cost points can be invested into echoes over 5 slots. your ideal setup may be:

4-cost – Tempest Mephis (not to be confused with Thundering Mephis; Tempest buffs HA DMG after use)

3-costs (2) – Violet-Feathered Heron and Flautist

1-costs (2) – this one is a mixed bag, but i would personally choose Vanguard Junrock, Electro Predator, and Fission Junrock

feel free to also check out sidneymar's guide for calcharo for other opinions! (reddit with image | video)

AALTO

BASIC NOTION - aalto is a DPS (likely sub DPS) that largely utilizes creating mist on certain basic attacks (BA's) and skill. when this mist is shot through, it deals extra DMG

as a DPS, aalto wants attack, both crits, and aero DMG. however, if you desire to play him as a main DPS, you will likely need to invest in energy regen as his resonance liberation has a higher energy cost than most other characters (150 vs 125)

TEAMMATES - he may benefit from taoqi, whose outro skill buffs skill DMG +38% for 14 seconds or until swap. otherwise, he works great as a buffer for other aero characters, being the one to give an aero buff on outro!

-

WEAPON CHOICES

5* - Static Mist [CRIT RATE]. (only 5* pistol as of 1.0) this buffs his utility as a sub DPS for other units, as using an outro skill will buff the ATK of the party by 10% for a short while. also comes with 12.8% energy regen

4* - all have their perks! choose what suits you best out of Cadenza [ENERGY REGEN], Undying Flame [ATK%], Novaburst [ATK%], and Thunderbolt [ATK%].

3* - choose from Guardian Pistols [ATK%] or Pistols of Night [ATK%]

-

ECHO CHOICES

SET – 5-piece Aero (Aero DMG +10% + after Intro Skill, Aero DMG +30% temporarily) (peak of +40% Aero DMG)

note that, if attempting to make him largely stay on the field / main DPS, 2pc Aero / 2 pc Attack is fine, but not covered here

EVENT RECOMMENDATION – Chaserazor (may be called Carapace) [3] (see echo summon event post)

at maximum terminal level, 12 cost points can be invested into echoes over 5 slots. your ideal setup may be:

4-cost – Feilian Beringal

3-costs (2) – choose from Cyan-Feathered Heron, Hoochief, and Chaserazor (Carapace)

1-costs (2) – Whiff Whaff, Hooscamp Flinger, and Chirpuff

The fact that this fix actually helps some people is sending me 😭😭😭

Ngl wuwa is growing on me more and more

original post

[iniziare]

As I continue Kafka's character page thing (I needed a day or two of a break, life's been a bit tiring), I realized I messed up on my tags, as none of them actually contain the muse name. So, here's to ensuring none of them are too long with the names in! Man, it's obvious that I've been gone from a multimuse for far too long. So don't mind me.

On a different note, I've been seeing some opinions come out on the dashboard about the new Dain quest, and I wanted to give my two cents on it without spoiling anything, because I think it's needed. Now of course, keep in mind that I'm quite the lore junkie, but I actually was really quite fond of it, it definitely hit some strings with me, so I have to side with the word-y ones over on Reddit on this one. I got more answers than questions this time, they didn't sacrifice any lore nor did they overplay their hand, and I wanted to reach through my screen at HVY on numerous occasions through it. So it was a good balance. Now, I'd love to comment more, such as to explain why peopl's 'expected flaws' were actually strengths in my opinion instead, but I don't want to accidentally spoil anything. So it can wait.

Anyway, the real reason that I want to comment on this, is that I want to note that no one blames anyone else for being tired of a game that they've played for a very long time. But there's a clear difference between saying that sometimes, and reminding everyone with every single quest or new content that comes out, or even remind us in comparison with HVY's HSR or even WuWa. I get it. But stop comparing apples to oranges, and stop thinking that Genshin needs to employ new game marketing strategies to keep its player-base, because their numbers show that it doesn't need to do so. If you don't like the game anymore, then simply stop playing it. It's okay. You don't need to keep reminding us, you don't need to shit on it, you don't need to say 'Genshin would never' as if Genshin needs to do anything. Would it benefit from some quality of life changes? Absolutely. But guess where I'll still be despite it, and where I think many (not all, of course) people who are actively complaining will also be,

*finishes 1.1 WuWa quest*

Damn that was. Needlessly vague and convoluted

*opens Reddit to see people amazed at the story*

Ah. Right. I am playing a gacha game

[kyogre-blue]

Fun fact, according to a reddit post (here), Wuwa has three model sizes for male and female characters each.

Female S is the little girls. Male S is Lingyan. He's about a head shorter than Rover, but obviously older than the girl models (but what else is new).

Female M is every woman except Baizhi. Surprisingly, this includes the upcoming hot redhead, Yinlin. Male M is Rover, who is half a head shorter than every other dude.

Female XL is Baizhi. She's tiny bit taller than the other girls. It's basically unnoticeable. Male XL is every dude except Rover lol.

From another Reddit post (here), here's all the current models side by side:

[odyssean-flower]

so i played wuwa...

overall impression: it's very rough, but i do think it can improve if the devs (who i really feel bad for bc they're probably being crunched to hell rn) keep polishing the game

first off, the install: omg i nearly pulled my hair out over this. it kept crashing and the download would just randomly stop for no reason. i was even desperate enough to download egs!!! (it didn't work there btw) It finally worked when the game opened i guess?

i play on a shitty old hp laptop that runs genshin and hsr pretty well, but wuwa? Oh boy it was so laggy and stuttery. Characters would glide over the ground in frozen poses as i tried to run, and the npcs would look like these abominations

Localization is also very rough. People complain about genshin translations (valid) but wuwa makes you appreciate how smooth and easy to read text in genshin is. Not to mention how long paragraphs of text would just get cut off so you're missing what the characters are saying

story was meh, especially at the start when they were just bombarding you with terms. Some reddit comment explained the world better than the game did. Honestly for a music-themed game they should have leaned into that more

Nitpick: mc is randomly voiced at times. like people complain how traveler doesnt talk, but at least they're consistent as to when they talk (at hype moments). But for some reason wuwa mc talks when they're doing that whole deduction stuff with yangyang but not when they were alone with Scar???

Story did pick up when Scar showed up. I think he will be popular

the character models are very detailed and the designs are much prettier and more interesting in 3d than the 2d art. it's like the opposite of genshin. I really like jinhsi and the higanbana-themed girl's design

combat is fun. it's kinda like hi3. unfortunately its too laggy to enjoy it to the fullest

havent really explored yet but the world is pretty. the map is pretty big tho so i hope there will be lots of quests and chests

i would probably continue to play this (at least until whenever scar's banner comes out) because i do like open world games haha

[noveauskull]

Not really a request but just me being curious. What did you thought of the new wuwa storyline and the changes Kuro games made?

I made a mistake on going to the wuwa reddit page and many people are dickriding the cbt1 story and are blaming CN players for being too "soft" when they actually had valid criticism.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWaves/s/YBEuZ7jhC5

Don't get me wrong I wished there were some things that they kept from cbt1 such as the crownless battle but the cbt1 story made me want to avoid it like a plague. And this is not me saying the new story is better (bc you can tell it's really rushed as the result of the 6 month rework). There are many issues that I didn't like and wished they could expand more but as of right now we can only wait until Kuro games resolved the issues

to be honest when i first played wuthering waves, i was one of the many disappointed players.

my reasons were simple, bad graphics, storyline and mechanics seemed overly like genshin (the waking up and you suddenly have a friend(s) waiting for you, wishing, leveling up, daily tasks) and nothing huge was really going on between me and understanding the story.

but what really made me continue to play was how fun the gameplay was, and how f2p friendly the game is (they spoil us a lot and im very happy about it) and tbh, i dont feel like im doing a chore when i play the game, i genuinely enjoy it a lot.

my only criticism was the graphics (since it still hasn't gotten better for me from the first release until now) and my understanding of the story. i dont understand who Rover is and what is their main purpose.

for the character's being rude to the Rover in cbt1, im actually super surprised cause i never heard of this version of WUWA until now, but im at a 50/50 opinion.

part of me really loves the idea of every character being wary of the Rover cause it gives a sense of realism to the character's personality, i like the idea that from the beginning, people were afraid or didnt like you but through your hardwork you slowly gained their trust, its a super cute idea and im a bit sad that it was gone.

what i do admit is the story with Awu, where he steals our kill and doesn't even thank us or anything, maybe it got a bit too much since the game IS supposed to make the story likeable for players, that way they can enjoy the game more, if the characters are lovable then so will the players be.

overall, ik a lot of people have been saying this but i have to agree with them when i say that WUWA has only been around for a month (?) now, and im sure Kuro Games is doing their best to fix these issues and provide a proper experience for their players, i dont sense the company wanting to rip off its players or neglect them like how Hoyoverse did with genshin, so i dont feel like ive lost a lot.

ty for the question!! ✨️✨️

[fictionfixations]

ive been trying to get into wuthering waves because it seems interesting (and i had the space because of a genshin-shaped hole that was deleted from existence because i didnt have enough to keep feeding it)

but okay

my one issue besides the whole huge lag and stuttering and everything

like. okay yeah the audio is laggy, its delayed, sometimes its entirely nonexistent

but. my one problem is that the text doesnt scroll down to the end. like you can tell that they're still talking but the dialogue box just cuts it off (theres no log box as far as i can see) so if you cant hear what they say. then. sure hope it isnt something important.

also another thing to note. you know that beginning cutscene and you end up in the water but upside down? (i watched someone play the first bit so it gave me some leeway to skip through parts id already seen while trying to figure out how to un-lag it. which i didnt figure out)

it just. didnt appear. at all. i think it was because it was loading for so long cause at one point i heard my character do like an idle line?? and then later it went to the other characters finding us

(this is in no way me being like 'aHH wUWA SUCKS' because i get that its still kind of in its beginning stages so theres a lot of bugs to work out. if anything, im really interested by it. i like the colors, i like the characters, i like playing them, and i want to see where the story goes.)

it'll probably get fixed and all sorts of quality of life updates (or whatever its called when there are updates for player convenience) in the future, just something thats kind of frustrating i wanted to note thats probably in no way a new issue (the reddit has a bunch of posts about the lag ngl)

also also

this isnt voiced

this is the next line

[alillttn]

Genshin players and WuWa players have finally found peace (temporary or not, idk)

Op:

[luxstring]

I checked wuwa reddit as recommended and it seems like it’s a device thing… guess I won’t be able to try wuthering waves. Kinda disappointed but can’t do much about it😓

[enden-k]

Just wanted to hear other people opinion about what they thought of the new storyline for wuwa.

(If you are unfamiliar with the old/cbt1 storyline drama here's a reddit post that explains the whole thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWaves/s/YBEuZ7jhC5)

Long story short I have been hearing people saying they prefer the old storyline when in reality the old story wasn't perfect. Sure it had good moments but it doesn't make up the fact the Rover was still being disrespected even after all the quests they have done for the people.

Considering the fact that Kuro games had 6 months to rework the whole story before their release date it make sense why the story is rushed both in the main story and Yinlin story. There were things that felt like they could've explained better and revise here and there but there were moments where I didn't enjoy the mainstream (Scar, Jiyan and the Battle of Jinzhou were my favorite parts).

My biggest issue about this whole conversation is that people keep bringing up Genshin and HSR storyline. Now there is nothing against these two stories as they are quite in their own way but what I hate about this comparison is that Hoyoverse has a total of 8 games (one of them being a dating sim) so they have alot of experience in making lore meanwhile Kuro Games only has a total of 3 games. This is unfair comparison if you ask me.

Another issue that I have is that most of the lore that Genshin and HSR that you want to know about isn't main story but from the side quests. These sides are so long and info dumping that many players just skip through everything or don't play the quest (Aranana quest is a prime example)

Now I don't know how true this is but as of right now Kuro Games are still working on all the bugs and issues that players are facing but they are still hiring writers to help with the story. If this is true we might have to wait for awhile for the story to be more clearer and better.

But that just my opinion I love the game I think the story could use some work but the game just got released two weeks ago so it hard to decide what will happen next and how the story goes.

i dont have anything to add bc i share the same thoughts as you. the story is a little weak but all the things considered you just mentioned, i have patience and hopes it gets better (since some ppl just looooove comparing hoyo and kuro; gnshn wasnt perfect either, inazuma was a mess before they had better writing for sumeru and i dont even wanna start with what the fuck ever was the luofu story but they COOKED w penacony and belobog). some sections like scar and the final battle was pretty cool

anw im tired of ppl comparing gnshn/hsr w wuwa too thats why i just dont bother reading those comments or replying

[get-your-waves-wuthered]

I need to sit down and articulate my concerns with the current trend in WuWa's storytelling for Tumblr's consideration cuz the only source of feedback I have is Reddit and there everyone doesn't seem to be blinking an eye at the far-fetchedness of the schemes characters come up with. WuWa keeps having me suspend my disbelief into the heavens and I can't tell if I'm stupid or if it's another gacha storytelling moment
