How to Get Free 5-Star Characters in Wuthering Waves

When starting Wuthering Waves for the first time, players are welcomed with many rewards including the opportunity to obtain free 5-star characters. The game guarantees two 5-star characters within the first 130 pulls. On top of that, due to some launch issues, the developers are giving out an additional free 5-star character selector to all players as compensation.

The First Free 5-Star: Novice Convene Banner

The first place to get a free 5-star is the Novice Convene Banner. This is the very first banner available in Wuthering Waves. To help new players get a strong start, the game ensures a 5-star character will be obtained within 50 pulls on this banner.

Unlocking the Second Free 5-Star Character in Wuthering Waves

After exhausting the 50 pulls on the Novice Convene Banner, players unlock the Beginner’s Choice Convene Banner. This special banner allows the selection of a specific 5-star character from a pool of five options: Lingyang, Jianxin, Encore, Calcharo, and Verina. Once a character is chosen, they are guaranteed to be obtained within 80 pulls on the Beginner Banner.

Bonus Third Free 5-Star: Giveback Custom Convene Event

As an apology for some technical difficulties during Wuthering Waves’ launch, the developers are giving all players another free 5-star character selector. This generous gift will be delivered via in-game mail on May 26, 2024, at 10 AM (UTC+8). The selector voucher will remain valid until May 22, 2025, for anyone with an active Wuthering Waves account. No pulling on banners is required to claim this bonus character.

Which Free 5-Star Should You Choose?

The choice of which 5-star to select depends on what you got from the Novice Banner:

• If you received a DPS character like Calcharo or Lingyang, pick the support character Verina. She’s universally useful and will likely stay relevant for a long time.
• If you got Verina from the Novice Banner, feel free to choose any of the DPS characters based on your preferred playstyle. Calcharo is a standout choice for his high damage output.
