Alright, folks, let’s dive into how I figured out accessing banners in Wuthering Waves. It wasn’t super obvious at first, so I figured I’d share my little journey.
First Steps & Confusion
So, I booted up the game, excited to start pulling for characters. I’d played some Genshin Impact before, so I thought, “Okay, banners should be easy to find, right?” Wrong! I clicked around the main screen, poked at every icon I could find, and… nothing. I was like, “Am I missing something obvious?”

I went through the initial tutorial, thinking maybe I had to unlock them. Finished that, still no banners. I started to feel a little dumb, to be honest.
The “Aha!” Moment
Then, I noticed something. I had to progress a bit further into the main story. I kept playing, following the quests, and bam! After a specific quest, I’m guessing here the system of banner show up.
- Keep playing the main storyline. Seriously, just keep going.
- Finish initial quests.
- There’s a quest(Just keep playing!).That’s the key.
Finally, the Banners!
After I got a little message, the banner option magically appeared! It’s on the bottom of the screen. From there, it was pretty straightforward. Standard banner, character event banner, weapon banner – all the usual stuff.
So, the big takeaway here is: patience, young Padawan. You have to play through the story a bit before you can access the gacha system. It’s not hidden; it’s just gated behind story progression. I hope this helps someone avoid the minor panic attack I had!
