New Utility gadget - Hoverdroid: Shooter

Wuthering Waves 1.2 will introduce a new Utility gadget called the Hoverdroid: Shooter. This will allow Rovers to shoot at Photovaults, floating targets, and other similar mechanisms that require characters who use Pistol. It is a very useful update since players won't have to switch characters each time they come across a Photovault or similar challenge.

New Waveplate storage system

A new Waveplate storage system will be added in version 1.0 called Waveplate Crystal. When a player's Waveplate reaches the cap, each excess Waveplate will be turned to Waveplate Crystal. These Crystals can be exchanged for normal Waveplate of the same value.

It should be noted that the regeneration rate is only one Waveplate Crystal every 12 minutes, up to 480. If one reaches the cap, they cannot store any extra Crystal.

Resonator Showcase Feature

After the version 1.2 update, Rovers can feature up to three characters on their profile to view and display their summoning animation. Tap the Avatar icon on the Terminal screen (menu) to access the Resonator Showcase option.

This will allow players to try out and level up more Resonators. These items will be available as Convene events for the second half of each update are released. Rovers will also receive a mail as a reminder once the exchange items are added.
