or

Beyond just new features, WuWa’s update 2.6 focuses on polishing your gameplay through multiple optimizations. Here are the key improvements you can expect:

Utility: Flight

In simple terms, you can activate flight mode anywhere, even in flat spaces, as there’s no necessity for high ground. The exciting feature of flying will be accessible in both Jinzhou and the Black Shores areas.

The game has made improvements to both the main page and lineup page specifically for the “Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways” event. New metaphors have been introduced and organized, as well. Instead of the “Lucid Dream” state, there is now a “Divined Dream” state. When your Dreamscape Energy is fully charged, you can manually activate the “Divined Dream” state on your own.

As a devoted participant in the “Tower of Adversity” event, I’m thrilled to share that the iconic “Hazard Tower” is receiving an upgrade! Two additional floors have been added, bringing even more rewards within our reach.

In addition, the exciting “Overdrive Zone” is now accessible under new conditions. Instead of clearing the Hazard Zone first, you can proceed once both the Stable and Experiment Zones are conquered. This change promises a fresh and dynamic gaming experience!

The latest news concerning the Whimpering Wastes event is about the Burning Waves. Instead of being initiated at set enemy waves, these waves can now be triggered by gathering “Ember” from combat activities.

In this revised version, I’ve attempted to make the language natural and easy to read while retaining the original meaning. The focus remains on presenting the update for the Whimpering Wastes event and explaining how Burning Waves can now be activated based on accumulating “Ember” through combat actions.

In a nutshell, the Record Sync function has been added to the Towers of Trials and Barrenlands. From now on, each cycle refresh will automatically cleanse specific levels according to the advancement achieved during the preceding cycle. Further details will be shared shortly.

Exploration Experience

The latest update allows you to find mineral collection points more easily on your map using the Lootmapper. The range of Lootmapper has also been increased. A new tracking feature has been added to the title for specific exploration quests in Jinzhou, such as Viewpoints, Blobflies, and Frostbugs. You can now track these from the exploration progress page, making your exploration journey more seamless.

Gallery

A fresh category for Armament has been introduced in the Display Area. Here, you can explore the specifics of various arms and projected weaponry featured within the game.

Interface

The game now offers a quick collecting feature, which is accessible on many pages displaying redeemable prizes such as the Guidebook, Data Bank levels, and most events. To gather all the awards on a specific page, simply click the “Claim” button located on the corresponding reward page.

Graphics Performance

In version 2.6, we’re broadening the range of compatible graphics cards for frame generation on desktop computers (PCs). Additionally, there are further improvements in graphics, details of which will be shared in forthcoming official communications.
