Quick Links
Wuthering Waves offers players a ton of characters to pull from. Ranging from event-exclusive, highly coveted 5-stars to rate-up 4-stars, to completely free 4-stars that can be unlocked by simply playing the game. Swimming in this sea of characters, it can be hard to judge which ones suit a player’s playstyle the most. While browsing tier lists is good for getting an idea of what’s meta in the game, figuring out which characters click with the player is much more important.
The vast majority of content in Wuthering Waves can be cleared using only the free characters and nothing else. This means getting a feel for a character by being able to test it out in-game is more important than any tier list, especially before pulling for someone on a banner. Luckily, Wuthering Waves offers players a way to test-run characters in a controlled environment. Here is how it works.
Wuthering Waves: Elements Explained
The impact of of elements on gameplay and combat is unclear in Wuthering Waves. Here is a guide on how they work.
How to Test Limited Time Event Banner Characters in Wuthering Waves
To test-trial Event Convene banner characters, players need to go to the Event tab by clicking on the party popper icon or via the pause screen. Here, find the tab that says ‘Ascendant Aces.' There should be four selectable characters on the screen: one limited-time 5-star and three rate-up 4-stars. Click on any character’s icon and select ‘Proceed’ to start the trial run. Completing the run by clearing all enemies and objectives will reward players with one-time rewards.
How to Test Unlocked Characters in Wuthering Waves
To test run characters that the player has already unlocked in their account, players must first open their Guidebook by clicking on the icon at the top of their screen or via the pause screen. Click on the wheel icon on the left side (second from last). At the top, it should say ‘Path of Growth.’ Here, you’ll see all of your unlocked characters to the right. Click on ‘Proceed’ for any character, and the game will take you through a simulated training module, which works like a guided tour of a character’s kit. The trial teaches players how to use the character and which buttons to press to trigger their unique combos and interactions.
The test-trial only shows the basic combos a character can perform to give players a general idea of how they work.
Once completed, each Resonator Skill Tutorial will give players 10 Astrite, 5000 Shell Credits, and some Ascension materials.
