Version 1.1 of Wuthering Waves will bring about a number of system changes aimed at enhancing the overall gameplay experience for players.

Echo System

Many players have expressed frustration with the abundance of low-grade Tuners in their backpacks, even during the end-game. To address this issue, a new Echo Tuner system has been developed, allowing players to upgrade their Medium and Advanced Tuners to higher grades.

Increased Union EXP for Echo Entries

In version 1.1, you will earn Union EXP for each new Echo entry you add to your Data Bank. Furthermore, all the Echoes you have gathered thus far will be retrospectively rewarded with Union EXP through an in-game email in version 1.1.

Echoes Rewarded for Activity Points: Higher Cost Range

The developers have decided to eliminate Cost 1 Echoes from Activity Points. Instead, you will now only receive Cost 3 and Cost 4 Echoes. Furthermore, upon completing 100 Activity Points, you will be randomly rewarded with either a Cost 3 or Cost 4 Echo.

Data Bank Level-Cap

The level cap for the Data Bank has been raised to 21 in version 1.1, ensuring that players will receive 5-star Echo drops.

Increased Convene Item Version Exchange Limit in the Item Exchange Oscillated Coral Store

In versions 1.1 and later, the quantity of Radiant Tides, Lustrous Tides, and Forging Tides will be raised to 7 instead of 5.
