Wuthering Waves Game Systems

This guide contains information about various systems available in Wuthering Waves.

Union Level is your overall account level and can be increased by obtaining Union EXP. Union EXP can primarily be earned by completing in-game missions and events as well as spending Waveplate (the game’s stamina system).

As your Union Level increases, you will unlock more game functions such as Daily Activities as well as increasing the number of times that you can ascend your Resonators and Weapons, increasing their level cap. Additionally, the difficulty of the enemy in the overworld will also increase once you reach certain Union Level milestones. The maximum Union level is 60.

As Union Level increases, the SOL3 Phase also increases, making enemies more challenging while also increasing rewards. SOL3 Phase increases every 10 Union Level. You can change your SOL3 Phase between the ones you unlocked every 24 hours.

Waveplate

Waveplate is the stamina system of Wuthering Waves. It is primarily used to obtain resources and upgrade materials from the various resource and boss dungeons in the game. Waveplate is generated at a rate of 1 per 6 minutes. You can store up to a maximum of 240. A total of 240 Waveplate can be generated every day.

You can also replenish your Waveplate by using Crystal Solvent (reward from various missions) or Astrites. Crystal Solvent is an in-game consumable that when used will give you 60 Waveplate immediately.

Pioneer Podcast is the battle pass of Wuthering Waves. It has a free and premium (that can be unlocked with real money) path. Players can get rewards from these paths by completing daily, weekly, and periodical missions. Pioneer Podcast resets periodically (most likely every 6 weeks).
