Like many other gacha games,Wuthering Waveshas a weapon system, and your Resonator’s weapons can be made stronger by increasing their levels and their weapon rank. While the level increases will give them more raw power and stats, improving their rank upgrade makes their specific buff ability stronger.

Most weapon syntonization materials you can find in the world by fighting enemies and doing domains, but not all weapons are made equal, or need common materials. Some, like Augment, will often need a Gilded Gingko to upgrade their rank, and it’s not something you’ll find lying around in the world.
