Wuthering Waves version 3.0 is shaping up to be a massive update. Leaks from reliable sources point to a dynamic, infinite-scaling boss rush called "Matrix Stacking Soldiers" blending elements of cyclic team swaps, player-chosen buffs, and escalating difficulty.
This mode addresses long-standing player demands for more engaging endgame content beyond the Hazard Tower and Whiwo (Illusionary Realm), offering endless replayability and substantial rewards.
Access Requirements
To unlock the mode, players must prove their prowess in existing challenges:
- Achieve 24 stars in the Tower (likely Hazard Tower).
- Score at least 3500 points in Whiwa.
These prerequisites ensure only top performers can dive in, positioning it as true late-game territory.
Core Mechanics
The mode revolves around cyclic combat with multiple teams rotating to battle four powerful bosses in an infinite loop.
- Team Setup: Deploy at least three full teams (three characters each, including Rover in each?). No upper limit on teams, allowing for deep rosters.
- Combat Loop: Clear all four enemies to complete a round. Bosses respawn with boosted HP and strength for the next wave. Points accumulate from damage dealt; defeating foes unlocks escalating attribute buffs for your side.
- Two Difficulty Modes: A standard mode and a harder variant for extra challenge.
- Infinite Scaling: Waves continue until defeat or quit, with enemies potentially gaining 30% more HP per reset (compounding over time). Rotating bosses keep it fresh.
It draws inspiration from the Virtual Crisis event and current boss rush, but with player agency in buffs and no forced comps.
Player-Chosen Buffs and Character Enhancements
A standout feature is the customizable buff system, letting players select enhancements tailored to their teams, such as shields, heavy attacks, tune breaks, or general damage amps. This versatility supports diverse playstyles, from hypercarries to supports.
Specific leaks highlight buffs for early-game (1.x) characters to revive their viability:
| Character | Buff Details |
|---|---|
| Jiyan | 25% Final DMG increase. |
| Jinhsi | 25% Final DMG increase. |
| Changli | 25% Final DMG increase. |
| Xiangli Yao | 25% Final DMG increase. |
| Yinlin | 25% Final DMG; Ult grants team 30% Resonance Liberation DMG for 30s. |
| Zhezhi | 25% Final DMG; Resonance Liberation boosts team Resonance Skill DMG by 30%. |
These apply only in the mode, potentially making forgotten units shine again. Some characters like Phrolova or Augusta could stack multiple buffs for massive power spikes.
Rewards
Expect generous pulls for clears:
- Total: Around 400 Astrite per full clear.
Likely weekly with rotations for sustained farming.
What to Expect Next
