While Wuthering Waves has been experiencing a successful global launch, there's one obvious solution for the game to continue its ongoing success.

The Origins Of Wuthering Waves' Resonators

Unraveling Solaris-3's Past

The central narrative of Wuthering Waves hinges upon the Lament, a cataclysmic event that irrevocably scarred the world of Solaris-3. Specific details regarding this horrific disaster remain shrouded in mystery, though its devastating impact is undeniable. Notably, the Lament unfolded not as a singular occurrence, but rather as a series of terrifyingly destructive anomalies that disfigured the landscape beyond recognition.

These phenomena led to the emergence of otherworldly creatures such as the Threnodians and Tacet Discords. Tacet Discords are mutated beings directly influenced by the Lament, renowned for their lethal unpredictability, with Threnodians considered the most formidable among them. Moreover, while the exact origins of Resonators' abilities to resonate with Echoes, manipulate frequencies, and potentially Overclock remain uncertain, it's evident that the Lament played a significant role in their eventual emergence.

After the tragedy of the Lament, individuals known as Wuthering Waves' Resonators started to appear among humanity. It's theorized that the anomalies unleashed during the Lament may have triggered mutations or awakened dormant abilities in these individuals. Alternatively, some believe these powers could be a gift from ancient deities or a result of advanced technology from a long-forgotten civilization. Regardless of origin, Resonance became a crucial part of this new world.

Wuthering Waves' Resonators Frequencies and Fortes

Resonators undergo a profound transformation known as the Awakening, triggered by significant life experiences. This awakening grants them the ability to perceive unique frequencies and manifest a Forte, a personal power influenced by their past and subconscious. The location of their Forte can be observed as a Tacet Mark on their body that appears during the moment of Awakening.

In Wuthering Waves, Resonators fall into four distinct classes: Artificial, Congenital, Mutant, and Natural. Congenital Resonators exhibit a non-convergent Rabelle Curve characterized by a periodic waveform and experience Awakening at birth. Mutants show a non-convergent curve with a sharp rise in the middle section, while Natural Resonators feature a non-convergent curve with a steady, gradual increase.

Current playable units are classified as follows:

Congenital

  • Aalto
  • Encore
  • Verina
  • Yinlin

Mutant

  • Baizhi
  • Chixia
  • Danjin
  • Jiyan
  • Mortefi
  • Sanhua

Natural

  • Calcharo
  • Jianxin
  • Lingyang
  • Taoqi
  • Yangyang
  • Yuanwu

None of the playable Resonators have been categorized as Artificial for the time being.

A Resonator's past experiences mold their Attributes, which in turn shape unique Resonance Spectrum Patterns. These patterns emerge from a blend of the Resonator's internal frequencies with the world's. For example, Mortefi exhibits patterns echoing Dragonkin, suggesting a strong Fusion Attribute, also known as the ability to ignite. Similarly, Yangyang's affinity with wind and small birds exceeds 20%, hinting at a connection to the Aero Attribute.

Overall, while the origins of Resonators remain shrouded in the mystery of the Lament, it's clear they are a product, or response, to the event. As the narrative of Wuthering Waves unfolds, players should expect to delve deeper into the fascinating lore surrounding these characters. This includes learning more about how their unique abilities interact with the frequencies of this universe.
