I started Wuthering Waves in 2026, and the first thing the game pushed in front of me was a shiny beginner banner called Utterance of Marvels. If you are new, this is the discounted 50-summon event that guarantees a 5-star Resonator, and it is the centerpiece of every early reroll conversation. Here is what I learned after actually reading the fine print.
What Utterance of Marvels Actually Is
[Utterance of Marvels] is an event banner available only for new players. You use Lustrous Tide to Convene, and every 10 attempts guarantee at least one 4-star or higher Resonator or Weapon. The banner allows up to 50 Convenes, and it closes once you obtain a 5-star Resonator. After that, the [Beginner’s Choice Convene] becomes available.
The best part is the discount: a 10-item pull costs 8 Lustrous Tides instead of 10, and you can use that discount up to 5 times. In total, you can spend 40 Lustrous Tides for the full 50 pulls. Honestly, that is a pretty sweet deal for a guaranteed 5-star.
One thing that tripped me up: [Utterance of Marvels] has separate Guarantee counts from other Convene event banners. Your pulls here do not build pity on limited character banners or the standard banners. Keep that in mind before you start calculating.
Let me toss in a quick table so the rates are easy to digest:
| Rarity | Base Drop Rate | Average Drop Rate (incl. Guarantee) | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-star Resonator | 0.8% | 2.4% | 1 every 50 Convenes |
| 4-star Resonator/Weapon | 6.0% | 11.8% | 1 every 10 Convenes |
| 3-star Weapon | 93.2% | — | — |
Who Can Show Up
The beginner pool is a mix of standard 5-star and 4-star characters plus a pile of weapons. The 5-star Resonators you can see here include Verina, Encore, Calcharo, Lingyang, and Jianxin. The 4-star lineup includes Yangyang, Chixia, Danjin, Sanhua, Mortefi, Aalto, Baizhi, Taoqi, and Yuanwu.
On the weapon side, you are looking at entries like Dauntless Evernight, Commando of Conviction, Undying Flame, Amity Accord, Jinzhou Keeper, Discord, Overture, Cadenza, Marcato, Variation, Helios Cleaver, Lunar Cutter, Novaburst, Hollow Mirage, and Comet Flare. The Night and Voyager series fill out the rest, along with Originite: Type I through Type V.
Afterglow Coral and Oscillate Coral Rewards
This was the part I almost missed. The beginner convene also feeds into the coral economy:
-
First-time 5-star Resonator: 15 Afterglow Corals
-
5-star duplicates from 2nd to 7th copy: 1 Waveband + 15 Afterglow Corals
-
5-star duplicates from 8th copy onward: 40 Afterglow Corals
-
First-time 4-star Resonator: 3 Afterglow Corals
-
4-star duplicates from 2nd to 7th copy: 1 Waveband + 3 Afterglow Corals
-
4-star duplicates from 8th copy onward: 8 Afterglow Corals
-
4-star Weapon: 3 Afterglow Corals
-
3-star Weapon: 15 Oscillate Corals
You can redeem up to 2 limited stock Wavebands for each 5-star Resonator with Afterglow Corals. Oscillate Corals can be used for various items in the in-game Store, and redemption limits reset with each version update.
Reroll Considerations
Now for the part everyone asks about: rerolling. Since [Utterance of Marvels] has separate pity, your discounted pulls will not help your limited banner pity. New players already have good access to 5-star characters via the beginner banners. If you are rerolling, the smarter move is often to consider pulling on the other Standard banners — Tidal Chorus for characters or Drawn Edges for weapons — while still finishing the beginner banner eventually.
That might sound backwards, but think of it this way: the beginner banner is a self-contained 40-Tide investment that always ends with a 5-star. It is great value, but it does not double-dip into other pities. So if you want early account direction, you might want to check Tidal Chorus first.
Beginner’s Choice Convene
After the [Utterance of Marvels] event banner closes, the [Beginner’s Choice Convene] unlocks. This lets you target a specific 5-star character of your choice. Yes, you get to pick your poison. If you already have a favorite standard character in mind, this is where that choice becomes real.
All in all, Utterance of Marvels is a low-cost starter banner that gives you a guaranteed 5-star without requiring a full 50-pity on a standard banner. Just remember: it is separate, it is discounted, and it unlocks the Beginner’s Choice Convene once you land your first 5-star. For a new account in 2026, it is still one of the simplest early power boosts in Wuthering Waves.
