My Relaxed Guide to Drawn Edges and Winter Brume Weapon Selection

I remember standing before the Drawn Edges banner in Wuthering Waves as a regular player and feeling both relieved and a little spoiled for choice. This is the permanent standard weapon convene, and unlike limited banners that rotate with each version, it lets me select my own five-star prize rather than hoping for a character I want. Because it uses Lustrous Tides, the standard convening currency, every pull I place here feels meaningful even when I am not chasing the newest limited resonator. As someone who plays for long-term account growth, I have come to see Drawn Edges as one of the most reliable convenes in the game in 2026.

The main reason I keep returning to Drawn Edges is the Target Weapon mechanic. I can choose one of the featured five-star weapons as my selected target, and the next five-star weapon I convene is guaranteed to be that exact weapon. Once I claim it, I can immediately choose another target and continue building toward a different piece of gear. This eliminates the usual gacha uncertainty of losing a weapon 50/50 to something I will never use. The convene also keeps its guarantee count separate from other event banners, so spending Lustrous Tides here does not interfere with my pity progress on limited character convenes.

In the Winter Brume selection, there are five standard five-star weapons available:

From my own testing and account planning, the Sword and Pistols are the most generic best choices. Lustrous Razor and Static Mist slot into many strong teams without needing a specific setup, so they are safe places to start. However, the truly best choice depends on my current lineup and where I want to invest. If I already have a powerful broadblade damage character, Emerald of Genesis can immediately improve clear times. If I main a gauntlet or rectifier unit, Abyss Surges or Cosmic Ripples become much more attractive. The key is making the selection match the resonators I actually use rather than just chasing a popular recommendation.

The drop rates for this standard weapon convene are clear enough to help me plan my currency. The base five-star weapon drop rate is 0.8%, while the average drop rate including the guarantee is 1.8%. I am guaranteed at least one five-star weapon every 80 convenes, which serves as the hard pity for the banner. For four-star resonators and weapons, the base drop rate is 6.0%, and the average including the guarantee is 12.0%. Every 10 attempts guarantee at least one resonator or weapon of four-star or higher rarity. The base three-star weapon rate is 93.2%, so most pulls outside the ten-pull pity are smaller three-star weapons that still feed into the coral economy.

That surrounding economy is another part I enjoy. Whenever I obtain a four-star resonator for the first time, I receive 3 Afterglow Corals. If I receive a duplicate four-star resonator from the second through the seventh time, I gain 1 Waveband for that resonator plus 3 Afterglow Corals. From the eighth duplicate onward, the Afterglow Coral reward increases again. A five-star weapon gives 15 Afterglow Corals, a four-star weapon gives 3 Afterglow Corals, and a three-star weapon gives 15 Oscillate Corals. These currencies add up quickly over repeated convening sessions. Afterglow Corals can be redeemed for up to two limited stock Wavebands for each five-star resonator, while Oscillate Corals can be exchanged for various items in the in-game store, with redemption limits and options refreshing with each version update.

The Drawn Edges pool is not only about the five-star weapons. Over time I have seen four-star resonators such as Yangyang, Chixia, Danjin, Sanhua, Mortefi, Aalto, Baizhi, Taoqi, and Yuanwu appear in my pulls. The four-star weapon lineup includes Dauntless Evernight, Commando of Conviction, Undying Flame, Amity Accord, Jinzhou Keeper, Discord, Overture, Cadenza, Marcato, Variation, Helios Cleaver, Lunar Cutter, Novaburst, Hollow Mirage, and Comet Flare. The three-star weapons fill out the rest with familiar Night series, Voyager series, and Originite type blades, pistols, gauntlets, and rectifiers. This means even when the five-star weapon takes many attempts, I usually collect something useful such as a waveband, a new four-star weapon, or coral resources.

For newer players and those starting in 2026, Drawn Edges can compete with the beginner convenes Utterance of Marvels and Beginner's Choice Convene. If I already have enough resonators and need a reliable weapon, I prefer spending Lustrous Tides here because the target selection removes a lot of early account guesswork. The same logic applies to rerolling. Instead of building pity on the beginner resonator banners, I sometimes start with this standard weapon convene. Early five-star weapons can carry an account through the main story and early endgame content, and because the guarantee count is independent, I am not sacrificing limited banner progress.

My typical approach is to set Static Mist or Lustrous Razor as a safe target when I do not know which limited character I will build next. Then I let the ten-pull pity and the eighty-pull hard pity do their work. Every ten attempts guarantee a four-star or higher item, so the banner consistently gives me upgrades, wavebands, or coral currency. Over time those Afterglow Corals turn into wavebands for five-star resonators, making Drawn Edges more than just a weapon source.

All of this keeps Drawn Edges approachable even for a casual player like me. The Target Weapon mechanic respects my resources, the independent guarantee counters help me plan across banners, and the drop rates are transparent enough to set realistic expectations. Whether I am chasing Lustrous Razor, Emerald of Genesis, Static Mist, Abyss Surges, or Cosmic Ripples, I always know exactly what I am working toward.
