Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways - Wuthering Waves (12 May - 19 May)

The "Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways" is a permanent weekly combat game mode in Wuthering Waves, introduced in Version 2.1, not a specific event tied to May 12–19, 2025. Below is a concise overview based on available information, with all links removed:
Overview
Mode Description: A roguelite-style weekly challenge where players navigate 13 Memory Zones in the Somnoire, accessible via gateways in Ragunna City, Rinascita. It’s similar to a condensed version of the Depths of Illusive Realm event, offering weekly rewards and Waveplate consumption for additional loot.
Cycle Details: The cycle from May 12–19, 2025, would have started on Monday, May 12, and ended on Sunday, May 18, with a reset on May 19. Each week features different Dreamscape Aid Resonators, which provide a 150% Illusive Points bonus when included in your team, helping you maximize the 6,000-point cap for rewards.
How to Access
Unlock Requirements:
Reach Union Level 30.
Complete the prologue of Chapter II: Through the Sea Thou Break, which introduces Ragunna City in Rinascita.
Complete the side quest Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways (available since February 17, 2025), where you interact with Encore’s Cosmos near Ragunna’s Resonance Nexus and travel to Thessaleo Fells to unlock the mode.
Entry: Interact with the red gateway in Rinascita or select the mode from the Recurring Challenges menu to warp directly.
Gameplay Mechanics
Team Composition: Form a team of three Resonators. Including at least one weekly Dreamscape Aid Resonator (e.g., Phoebe, Jinhsi, Shorekeeper, or Verina in past cycles) grants a 150% Illusive Points bonus. Weekly Dreamscape Aid Effects provide buffs tailored to these Resonators.
Memory Zones: Progress through 13 zones:
Zones 6 and 12 are Memory of Rest rooms for exchanging Dream Fragments for Metaphors.
Zones 7 and 13 are boss rooms, where defeating bosses allows Waveplate expenditure for extra rewards.
Metaphors and Lucid Dream: Metaphors provide buffs to ATK, Crit, DMG, or skills, with some enhancing the Lucid Dream state, a 10-second ultimate-like ability triggered by dealing damage. Save Lucid Dream for boss zones for maximum impact.
Waveplates: Claiming Remnant Crystal rewards costs 60 Waveplates (or 120 for double rewards). Rewards include Sealed Tubes, Tuners, and Supply Chests with Echoes from selected Tacet Fields.
Rewards
Weekly Rewards: Accumulate Illusive Points (up to 6,000 per week) to claim rewards. Using a Dreamscape Aid Resonator allows a full clear in one run; otherwise, multiple runs (capped at 4,500 points each) are needed. Rewards reset weekly and may include Astrite, Sealed Tubes, Tuners, and Echoes.
Note: Specific rewards for May 12–19, 2025, aren’t detailed in the sources, as they may vary weekly. Check in-game for the exact Dreamscape Aid Resonators and rewards for that cycle.
Tips for May 12–19, 2025
Team Building: Check the weekly Dreamscape Aid Resonators in-game. For example, previous cycles recommended Glacio DPS teams (e.g., Carlotta or Lingyang) or Sanhua as a Sub-DPS with Verina/Baizhi for support. Free-to-play options like Rover (Havoc) paired with Sanhua are effective.
Strategy: Prioritize Metaphors that enhance your team’s strengths and save Lucid Dream for boss fights in Zones 7 and 13.
Waveplate Management: Since rewards cost Waveplates, balance your usage with other activities like Tacet Fields.
Clarifications
The sources don’t confirm a specific event named “Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways” for May 12–19, 2025, but the mode’s weekly cycle aligns with this period. The side quest and mode are permanent, not limited-time events.
If you’re referring to a specific event or variation (e.g., Flowers of Oblivion or Frontier of Ruin), these may be themed cycles within the mode, but no specific details for May 2025 are available.
