How to Get Five-Star Heroes and Weapons for Free in Wuthering Waves

Just like in Genshin Impact, in the game Wuthering Waves, five-star heroes are the best. They have high base stats and will give you a huge advantage during battles. It is assumed that you will have to spend real money to gain access to such characters. However, there is a way to add five-star warriors or warrior women to your team completely free of charge. This topic is covered in our guide.

The easiest option is to start the game and then check the email associated with your Wuthering Waves account. As an apology for technical issues at launch, the developers have sent an email to all active players, allowing you to get a five-star hero. The promotion is valid from May 26, 2024, to May 22, 2025.

This way, you will get access to the «Voucher of Reciprocal Tides.» It provides access to one of the five five-star characters. Activate it through your email, then log into the game. The algorithm is as follows:

This voucher can only be used once. We will discuss the best warrior for completing the game below.

In the very first banner called «Novice Convene,» you are guaranteed to get one five-star character within 50 attempts. You can take advantage of this opportunity before starting the main game to then level up a strong hero.

After you use all 50 spins in the «Novice Convene,» a new banner will be available to you. The situation is similar — within 80 attempts, you will definitely get a five-star character. Among them are Encore, Calcharo, Lingyang, Verina, and Jianxin.

The three methods we discussed above work independently of each other. This way, you can get three five-star characters at the start of the game. Newcomers often wonder, who should they choose?

First of all, pay attention to Verina. She is a support heroine, but her abilities will remain relevant throughout the entire playthrough, especially if you focus on leveling up the character. Verina can create shields, heal allies, and boost their damage. Moreover, her abilities do not depend on the element of the party members, so she is a great fit for any team.

Next in effectiveness is Calcharo, one of the best attacking heroes in Wuthering Waves. He wields electricity and can deal massive elemental damage to enemies. Ideally, you should master his combo with switching to another character and spinning strikes.

In third place is Lingyang. With Resonance Release, you can make him fly and deliver aerial strikes. In terms of attack power, this hero is inferior to other five-star warriors, but in the early stages, his abilities will be useful.

We have detailed the best characters in a separate guide.

You will be given powerful weapons for free when your account reaches level 45. After that, check your mail — there you will find a surprise box. Open it and choose the type of weapon that suits your favorite character.
