What does $201 get you in Wuthering Waves?

Despite knowing better, I bought every top-up to show you if it is worthwhile to do. Let's see how far $201 in summons goes!

Wall of text below because Im not gonna respond to every individual comment related to this

Editing my previous comment bc of the compensation five star thing. First of all: good on Kuro for doing that, it will make the new player experience better, and that does help balance out many of the issues people have had in the game.
It also gives less reason to spend money right now, since that is more characters to have fun with during the game's start. Theyve also committed to fixing some things in the game. I hope they remain open to tweaking the game to make the player experience better (though I don't want them to be too aggressive with changes; they need to properly test whether or not some ideas make sense and not blindly follow a vocal minority).
So yeah, that IS more generous compared to Hoyo with Genshin and how they compensate for issues. But again, as with the actual gacha systems in the game, that is only if you compare on a superficial level. In the specific context of compensation 'generosity', Genshin has never had the scale of issues compared to the issues WuWa has had at launch, and WuWa has really hurt their first impressions to a lot of players launching in the state they have. (Genshin also released at a time that benefited it heavily, WuWa has to fight an uphill battle in the open-world RPG gacha space) Hence necessitating Kuro giving out a free five star to earn some good-will.
It IS good they did that, but calling it generous is still a bit silly by nature of this is a gacha game dev company doing damage control. They are not being your "bro."
They are a company, their goal is to make money. This was a smart play on their part to try to keep some of their potential playerbase that they may have turned off due to whatever issues.
I'm sure they have plenty of individuals at the company passionate about the gameplay experience (which is evident by the fantastic combat experience, imo), but the entire organization has a goal to make money.
That's why this is a gacha game--they want to make money, and a lot of it.
Generousity is not a factor for Kuro games as to whether or not they decided to give the players a free five star, and if you think them doing so has invalidated anything I said in the video, you've missed the entire point I have been trying to make.
It is genuinely funny seeing people in my comments doing exactly the thing I satirized this video when saying "wow Target is so much more generous because they give 80 targetbucks"



Also I know I yapped a lot this video but I had lots of thoughts I'm sorry. I swear I actually cut out 20 mins+ of additional rambles.

I love soluna's pull videos because they're always him going like 'This is a horrible idea, please do not do this' while the game does its very best to throw five 5-stars at him no matter the circumstance

bro said the weapon banner is boring cus guaranteed
gambling addiction spotted lol

[AubreyMK]

"gacha games are bad and spending on it is bad, let me show you how bad it is by getting over 4x as much as you should" lmao, it really is how it goes every time

[mickiiee]

And then there's me, going all the way to 50 on the beginner banner 😂

[linah]

well now that we're getting a free 5* through mail as performance compensation, you can basically have the whole standard 5* roster week 1 xD

[KunaiKidd]

I hope you went straight to the casino. You were on fire king

[schmooze]

“Not as generous” free 10 pull and 5 star selector as compensation

[ytsinger]

1:26 well this aged like milk especially after our 2nd free 5 star selector

[owo-tzus]

He can't keep getting away with it!!! /j

Being snarky that the weapon is guarantee while crying at genshin’s weapon banner. There is no pleasing these people smh.

[darkangel]

Apparently 201$ gives you everything that’s in the game right now 😅. At least if you don’t want it same as in Genshin 😂.

[edgarortiz]

I’m really glad these videos do super well for you

[_black_bird]

Watching this video a couple of times so you get your money back

[vladys]

My experience is different - I am sure it is common for the most of players and got a 5* on novice banner at 50 (limit) and didn't get any 5* from the second novice banner.
Tried 10 pull on limited banner and also didn't get any character (just a 4* weapon :/ )
My friend got 2 5* from novice banners in about 50-60 pulls, and didn't try on limited, because got Calcharo and Verina, so what's the point now?

[CrystalShannon]

My rates have been rubbish. I hit pity on the 50 banner and thats the only 5* ive gotten so far. Ive only received 1x new 4* character, everything else has been dupes of starters or 4* weapons (yet no 4* weapon for my Sephiroth)

[deanthelemur]

that was the most insane luck ive ever seen

[Elixivira]

I just bought lunites but it still says 0 even tho it says its paid how?

[darrellredman]

I got 56 radiant tide how much would it cost to get at 80 if I do the 99 cent package ? Any help would be appreaceated

For 4 stars (in any Gatcha) I feel like they should always be in a shop like the starglitter exchange where for every 90-ish pulls you should have enough currency to buy a copy. No rotations or anything either. Maybe they aren't added until a patch after release but that's it.
