Wuthering Waves: How to Get 150+ Pulls When Starting Out

The topic on many players’ minds is whether Wuthering Waves will be good for free-to-play players or if you will have to spend a lot of money to get the characters you want. We’ll discuss the huge number of free pulls you can get and where to find them.

A friendly reminder that this information is subject to change since it’s been gathered from the community in the beta of Wuthering Waves.

Wuthering Waves Free Pulls From Events

Starting out, keep in mind that 1 pull equals 160 Astrite. Just by logging in, players will receive a total of 200 Astrite and 20 standard banner pulls from the Pre-Registration Milestone rewards. It’s currently unknown if all the accounts will receive these rewards or just the accounts that were pre-registered, so make sure to check out our guide on how to pre-register.

Next, there will be a log-in event on release, providing us with 8 standard banner pulls and a free character. The second event will be the awakening journey, which will give you rewards based on your account level (Union Level).

You’ll receive rewards on levels 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 for a total of 1600 Astrite and 40 pulls for the standard banner. Tied to your Union Level, you’ll also receive rewards in your mail for various milestones. In total, you’ll receive 10 standard pulls upon reaching level 30 and 15 event pulls upon reaching level 80.

Reaching level 80 will be a pretty hard goal so you shouldn’t expect to hit it at launch.

Wuthering Waves: Free Pulls From Activities

Doing your dailies in Wuthering Waves will award you with 60 Astrite a day. Assuming you do these every day, that’s about 1800 a month. On release, there will be 2 character trials that will give you an extra 40 Astrite. In the CBT of Wuthering Waves, it has been mentioned that there will be some kind of share reward that will give you 100 Astrite.

Various chests in the world will contain an item called Wood Grain Fragment, which you’ll be able to exchange at a rate of 6 at a time for a total of 5 standard pulls to a specific vendor in the major city.

Speaking of chests and exploration, the community has managed to map a total of 1380 chests, puzzles, etc. It’s been calculated that from around 800 of those goodies, you’ll receive around 5,500 Astrite. If you uncover the entire map, you’ll receive a total of 550 Astrite from the Pioneer Association located in the major city.

There are currently 211 achievements in the game. Completing all of these will grant you around 1800 Astrite, but realistically some of these will take a long time to complete so keep that in mind.

The free Battle pass will give you 5 standard banner pulls. 

In your Data Bank, you’ll also receive 920 Astrite upon reaching level 20. The Data Bank is tied to Echo Hunting. You’ll be able to level this up by collecting more and more Echoes and increasing their rarities.

Delivering all Sonance Caskets to the Relic Merchant will award you a total of 650 Astrite. Sonance Caskets are the glowing yellow cubes hidden out in the world.

The Depth of the Illusive Realm Season 1 will award you 585 Astrite for completing all the levels and achievements. This mode is similar to the Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail. The rewards for this will reset every month. Clearing the Tower of Adversity will grant you 3350 Astrite, but keep in mind that the high-end levels of this event are some of the hardest content in the game.

Drifting Inscriptions is a permanent event that rewards players for progressing through the game. Fully completing all the tasks awards a total of 480 Astrite. Killing all monsters and bosses for the first time will reward you with a total of 450 Astrite.

Last but not least, completing all main quests in Wuthering Waves will provide you with 800 Astrite, and doing all other quests will net you 1660 Astrite.

Summary

Breaking everything down, free-to-play players may expect a total of 90 standard pulls, 20 event pulls, and around 20,000 Astrite. Keep in mind that these are all numbers in the extreme, and some of these requirements will need a lot of time to complete. You should take your time and enjoy the game.
