Wuthering Waves Standard Weapon Banner Pull Priority and 4-Star Weapons Guide (Version 3.6)

Standard 5-star pull priority (3.6)

Pick the weapon that upgrades the team you play this week. Account first, tier list second.

S tier targets

1. Static Mist (Pistols, Winter Brume)

587 ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate. +12.8% Energy Regen. Outro gives the incoming Resonator +10% ATK for 14s.

Best for: Mortefi, Aalto, Chixia, Carlotta (budget), Ciaccona (budget), Galbrena (budget), Lucy (if you want the team buff more than raw personal DPS), Rebecca (budget team-buff build).

Why it stays S: the outro ATK buff is team damage, not just personal damage. Pistol sub-DPS kits still live on this weapon.

2. Emerald of Genesis (Sword, Winter Brume)

587 ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate. +12.8% Energy Regen. Skill gives +6% ATK, 2 stacks, 10s.

Best for: Rover (all attributes), Qingxiao (best permanent option, about 78% of her signature), Hiyuki (best permanent option), Changli, Camellya, Aemeath, Cartethyia, Brant, Sanhua, Danjin, Yangyang, Yangyang: Xuanling.

Why it stays S: Crit Rate plus Energy Regen is the most reusable sword line in the game. Qingxiao and Hiyuki both use it as their default F2P 5-star in 3.6.

3. Radiance Cleaver (Broadblade, Synth Armament)

587 ATK, 48.6% Crit DMG. +12% ATK. Hitting Tune Strain: Interfered gives +24% Liberation DMG for 3s, refreshable.

Best for: Jingran (best standard option, about 74% of Thousandfold Deliverance), Lupa, Jiyan, Calcharo, Augusta, Jinhsi, Chisa (DPS builds).

Why it is the modern broadblade pick: Crit DMG plus flat ATK beats Lustrous Razor’s ATK% line for most 3.x DPS. Jingran still wants his HP signature first. If you will not pull Thousandfold Deliverance, this is the standard target.

4. Phasic Homogenizer (Pistols, Synth Armament)

587 ATK, 48.6% Crit DMG. +12% ATK. Any teammate’s Tune Break grants +20% All-Attribute DMG for 14s.

Best for: Carlotta, Galbrena, Lucy, Rebecca, on-field pistol DPS that play in Tune Break teams (Qingxiao / Denia / Lynae cores).

Take Static Mist if the pistol user is a buffer. Take Homogenizer if the pistol user is the one dealing the damage and your team triggers Tune Break.

A tier targets

Cosmic Ripples (Rectifier, Winter Brume)

500 ATK, 53.9% ATK. +12.8% Energy Regen. Basic Attacks stack Basic Attack DMG, 5 stacks.

Best for: Encore, Zhezhi, Denia (budget DPS mode), Lucilla (Glacio Chafe / Basic Attack mode), Phoebe (DPS builds), Cantarella (DPS builds), Yinlin (if you lack Stringmaster and Static Mist is on a pistol user).

Not for: Verina, Shorekeeper, Baizhi as a first choice. Those supports want Energy Regen and Concerto, which Variation already does.

Pulsation Bracer (Gauntlets, Synth Armament)

587 ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate. +12% ATK. Hitting Interfered targets stacks Basic Attack DMG.

Best for: Xiangli Yao, Luuk Herssen, Roccia, Zani, Lingyang, Jianxin (DPS builds).

Best standard gauntlet for Basic Attack gauntlet DPS. Crit Rate is the substat you want.

Lustrous Razor (Broadblade, Winter Brume)

587 ATK, 36.4% ATK. +12.8% Energy Regen. Skill stacks Liberation DMG, 3 stacks.

Best for: Calcharo, Lupa (Liberation-heavy builds), Jiyan if you already own Radiance Cleaver on someone else, Jinhsi as a stat stick.

Still good. Radiance Cleaver is usually first if you can only pick one broadblade.

B tier targets

Abyss Surges (Gauntlets, Winter Brume)

587 ATK, 36.4% ATK. Skill hits buff Basic Attack DMG. Basic hits buff Skill DMG.

Best for: Xiangli Yao (Skill weave), Yuanwu, Jianxin. Worse than Pulsation Bracer for most current gauntlet DPS.

Laser Shearer (Sword, Synth Armament)

587 ATK, 38.8% Energy Regen. +12% ATK. Interfered hits give +24% Skill DMG.

Best for: Skill-heavy swords that are ER starved. Qingxiao can use the ER, but Emerald of Genesis is still the default because of Crit Rate. Take Laser Shearer only if rotations fail without extra ER.

Boson Astrolabe (Rectifier, Synth Armament)

525 ATK, 38.8% Energy Regen. Team Tune Break gives +12% ATK and +12% Basic Attack DMG for 14s.

Best for: Denia in Tune Strain teams, Lucilla support-leaning builds, Encore if you need ER more than ATK%. Supports still prefer Variation first.

Who should not waste a selector on what

4-star weapons and who they are for

Build these before you panic about standard pity. A refined 4-star with finished Echoes beats an unbuilt 5-star.

Broadblade 4-stars

Autumntrace (Battle Pass)
412 ATK, 20.2% Crit Rate. Basic / Heavy hits stack ATK.
For: Jiyan, Calcharo, Lupa, Augusta, Jinhsi, Chisa, Jingran (usable filler only). Best 4-star field DPS broadblade. Jingran still prefers HP options when he can get them. Autumntrace is the generic Crit Rate stick.

Helios Cleaver
412 ATK, 30.3% ATK. Skill ramps ATK.
For: same DPS list if you do not own Autumntrace.

Discord
337 ATK, 51.8% Energy Regen. Skill restores 8 Concerto.
For: Mornye (her best 4-star, and close to her signature for team function), Taoqi, Lumi, any broadblade battery. This is a support weapon. Do not put it on Jingran or Jiyan as a damage option.

Broadblade#41 (craftable)
ER line.
For: Mornye if Discord is missing. Worse rotation than Discord.

Aureate Zenith / Meditations on Mercy
For: Jingran and Heavy Attack broadblades as extra 4-star fillers. Not first craft targets for most accounts.

Sword 4-stars

Commando of Conviction
412 ATK, 30.3% ATK. Intro gives +15% ATK for 15s.
For: Changli, Qingxiao, Hiyuki, Aemeath, Camellya, Cartethyia, Brant, Rover, Sanhua, Danjin. Default 4-star sword.

Lumingloss
Skill buffs Basic and Heavy Attack DMG.
For: Camellya, Cartethyia, Basic / Heavy sword kits.

Overture
ER plus Concerto on Skill.
For: Yangyang, Sanhua as batteries. Not for main DPS.

Feather Edge
Liberation ATK and Liberation DMG.
For: Hiyuki budget Liberation builds, other Liberation swords.

Pistol 4-stars

Novaburst
412 ATK, 30.3% ATK. Dash / dodge stacks ATK.
For: Carlotta, Galbrena, Lucy, Rebecca, Chixia, Mortefi. Best common gacha DPS pistol.

Cadenza
337 ATK, 51.8% Energy Regen. Skill restores Concerto.
For: Mortefi, Aalto, Ciaccona when the job is battery and outro, not personal DPS.

Undying Flame
ATK% stick.
For: same DPS list as Novaburst if that copy dropped first.

Later Battle Pass pistols (Thunderbolt, Solar Flame, and newer pass guns) can beat Novaburst when the passive matches Basic / Heavy kits. Check the current pass before spending Corals.

Gauntlet 4-stars

Hollow Mirage
412 ATK, 30.3% ATK. Liberation grants ATK / DEF stacks.
For: Xiangli Yao, Luuk Herssen, Roccia, Lingyang, Jianxin. Default 4-star gauntlet.

Marcato
ER plus Concerto on Skill.
For: Yuanwu, Jianxin support builds, any gauntlet battery.

Amity Accord
Intro Liberation DMG.
For: Liberation burst gauntlets only.

Legend of Drunken Hero
ATK stacks vs Negative Statuses.
For: teams that constantly apply statuses (Denia / Lucilla / Hiyuki cores).

Rectifier 4-stars

Variation
337 ATK, 51.8% Energy Regen. Skill restores Concerto.
For: Verina, Shorekeeper, Baizhi, rectifier supports, Denia if you need faster swaps over personal damage. Best 4-star support weapon in the game. Refine this.

Augment (Battle Pass)
412 ATK, 20.2% Crit Rate. Liberation gives +15% ATK.
For: Encore, Zhezhi, Denia DPS mode, Lucilla DPS mode, Yinlin, Phoebe, Cantarella. Best 4-star rectifier DPS weapon.

Jinzhou Keeper
Intro ATK and HP.
For: filler rectifier DPS if Augment is missing.

Comet Flare
HP and Healing Bonus.
For: Baizhi raw heal builds. Variation is still better for team DPS because rotations stay on time.

Waltz in Masquerade (craftable)
ATK stacks vs Negative Statuses.
For: Denia, Lucilla, any rectifier that applies statuses every rotation.

Character loadout cheat sheet (3.6)

Use this as a "what do I put on them tonight" list. Signature is listed only so you know what you are skipping.

What to refine first

1. Variation on the support you actually run (Verina or Shorekeeper).
2. Discord if Mornye is a core support.
3. Autumntrace or Commando of Conviction on your main field DPS.
4. Novaburst or Hollow Mirage on the next DPS type you play.
5. Stop refining a 4-star once the matching 5-star is equipped.

Resource plan for 3.6 into 3.7

1. Do not dump Astrites into this banner during Jingran / Hiyuki / Mornye if you still need the character.
2. Mornye does not need her signature. Save Forging Tides.
3. Jingran’s signature is a real breakpoint because of the 50,000 HP check. If you main him, the limited weapon matters more than Radiance Cleaver.
4. Qingxiao and Hiyuki function on Emerald of Genesis. Their signatures are upgrades, not requirements.
5. 3.7 is expected Oct 1 with Hsin (Electro Rectifier) and Suoming (Electro Sword). If you want those units, keep Radiant Tides untouched.
6. Leftover Lustrous Tides still belong on one standard target at a time.
