Wuthering Waves Convene Guide: Rates, Pity, and Banner Rules in 2026

Convening in Wuthering Waves is the game's gacha system, and in 2026 it remains a mix of luck, pity, and careful resource planning. The rules below cover the major banner types: beginner banners, standard resonator and weapon convenes, featured resonator convenes, and featured weapon convenes. They are written for players who want a clear third-person overview without digging through menus. As always, the base drop rates represent mathematical chances per single convene, while average rates include guarantee mechanics and may differ from any individual player's records. Spend responsibly.

Utterance of Marvels: The New Player Safety Net

Utterance of Marvels is an event banner for new players. It uses Lustrous Tide, and every 10 attempts guarantees at least one 4-star or higher rarity Resonator or Weapon. Players can convene up to 50 times. The banner closes permanently once they obtain a 5-star Resonator. It also has separate guarantee counts from other convene event banners.

Rarity	Base Rate	Average Rate (with Guarantee)	Hard Pity
5-star Resonator	0.8%	2.4%	50
4-star Resonator or Weapon	6.0%	11.8%	10
3-star Weapon	93.2%	—	—

Extra rewards follow the standard coral pattern. A first 5-star Resonator gives 15 Afterglow Corals. Copies from the 2nd to 7th time give 1 Waveband of that Resonator plus 15 Afterglow Corals. From the 8th time onward, players get 40 Afterglow Corals. First-time 4-star Resonators give 3 Afterglow Corals; duplicates from 2nd to 7th give 1 Waveband and 3 Afterglow Corals; from the 8th time onward, 8 Afterglow Corals. Any 4-star Weapon gives 3 Afterglow Corals, and any 3-star Weapon gives 15 Oscillated Corals.

Beginner's Choice Convene: Pick a Target, Close the Gap

The Beginner's Choice Convene appears after Utterance of Marvels closes. It includes banners named Wooly-counting Game, Frosty Gusto, Phantom Hunter, Nature Calling, and Cleansing Reflections. It uses Lustrous Tide, guarantees a 4-star or higher item every 10 attempts, and lets players choose one target 5-star Resonator from Verina, Encore, Calcharo, Lingyang, and Jianxin. The 5-star Resonator from this banner is guaranteed to be that target. Players can convene up to 80 times, and the banner closes after the first 5-star Resonator. It has separate guarantee counts from other banners.

Rarity	Base Rate	Average Rate (with Guarantee)	Hard Pity
5-star Resonator	0.8%	1.8%	80
4-star Resonator or Weapon	6.0%	12.0%	10
3-star Weapon	93.2%	—	—

Tidal Chorus: The Standard Resonator Pool

Tidal Chorus is a Standard Resonator Convene. It uses Lustrous Tide and keeps separate guarantee counts from other banner types. Its rates mirror the usual standard resonator structure: 0.8% base and 1.8% average for 5-star Resonators, with a hard pity at 80 convenes. The 4-star or higher guarantee remains every 10 attempts, with a 6.0% base rate and a 12.0% average rate. The 3-star Weapon base rate is 93.2%.

Winter Brume: Standard Weapon Convene

Winter Brume includes Sword, Broadblade, Pistols, Gauntlets, and Rectifier variants. It is a Standard Weapon Convene that uses Lustrous Tide. Players can select one featured 5-star Weapon as their target, and the next 5-star Weapon they convene is guaranteed to be that target. Like other standard pools, it has separate guarantee counts from other banner types.

Rarity	Base Rate	Average Rate (with Guarantee)	Hard Pity
5-star Weapon	0.8%	1.8%	80
4-star Resonator or Weapon	6.0%	12.0%	10
3-star Weapon	93.2%	—	—

Featured Resonator Convene: Prevail the Lasting Night and When Thunder Pours

Featured Resonator Convenes use Radiant Tide. The guarantee count is shared among all Featured Resonator Convene banners. If a 5-star Resonator is not obtained on one featured banner, that count carries over to the next featured resonator banner and resets once a 5-star appears. The base 5-star rate is 0.8%, the average rate is 1.8%, and hard pity is 80.

Each 5-star Resonator has a 50% chance to be the limited featured Resonator. If the 5-star is not that character, the next 5-star is guaranteed to be them. The 4-star or higher guarantee remains every 10 convenes. Every 4-star item has a 50% chance to be one of the three featured 4-star Resonators; if not, the next 4-star item is guaranteed to be one of them, with equal chances.

Prevail the Lasting Night features Jiyan as the limited 5-star. Its featured 4-star Resonators are Mortefi, Danjin, and Chixia. When Thunder Pours features Yinlin as the limited 5-star, with Taoqi, Aalto, and Yuanwu as the featured 4-star Resonators. In both banners, losing the 50/50 grants an extra 30 Afterglow Corals.

Featured Weapon Convene: Absolute Pulsation

Absolute Pulsation is a Featured Weapon Convene that uses Forging Tide. The guarantee count is shared among all Featured Weapon Convenes. If a 5-star Weapon is not obtained, the count carries over to other featured weapon banners and resets once a 5-star Weapon appears. The base 5-star Weapon rate is 0.8%, the average rate is 1.8%, and hard pity is 80.

Every 5-star Weapon obtained from this banner is guaranteed to be the limited featured weapon. For the Verdant Summit version, that weapon is Verdant Summit. For the Stringmaster version, it is Stringmaster. The 4-star or higher guarantee is still every 10 attempts. Each 4-star item has a 50% chance to be one of the three featured 4-star Weapons; if not, the next 4-star item is guaranteed to be one of them, with equal chances.

Extra Rewards and the Coral Economy

The coral system rewards players for every pull, even when the result is not the desired character or weapon. The pattern is consistent across banners:

Pull Result	Reward
First 5-star Resonator	15 Afterglow Corals
5-star Resonator, copies 2–7	1 Waveband of that Resonator + 15 Afterglow Corals
5-star Resonator, 8th copy onward	40 Afterglow Corals
First 4-star Resonator	3 Afterglow Corals
4-star Resonator, copies 2–7	1 Waveband of that Resonator + 3 Afterglow Corals
4-star Resonator, 8th copy onward	8 Afterglow Corals
Any 4-star Weapon	3 Afterglow Corals
Any 3-star Weapon	15 Oscillated Corals

Afterglow Corals can be used to redeem up to 2 limited-stock Wavebands for each 5-star Resonator. Oscillate Corals can be exchanged for various items in the in-game Store. Those store options and redemption limits reset with each version update.

Final Thoughts: Pity, Planning, and Responsible Spending

In 2026, the core convene rules remain a familiar rhythm for Wuthering Waves players. Beginner banners offer a gentle start, standard banners provide steady long-term targets, featured resonator banners bring the 50/50 drama, and featured weapon banners remove the weapon 50/50 entirely. The key is to track separate pity counts, remember that featured resonator pity is shared across its banner type, and treat average rates as long-run mathematics rather than a promise for any single session. Individual records can always look very different from the listed averages, so spending should stay within a player's comfort zone. 💎
