Cube, Cubic n Cubie Event - Wuthering Waves - Version 2.3
Part 1
The Cube, Cubic n Cubie event is a key feature of Wuthering Waves Version 2.3, celebrating the game’s first anniversary. It’s a combat-focused event with a whimsical story where players, as the Rover, transform into cute Cube versions of Resonators to battle the demon king Abbowser in Abbowser Castle. Here’s a detailed overview:
Event Details
Duration: April 29, 2025 – June 11, 2025, 03:59 (server time). After Version 2.3, the event becomes permanent, but limited-time rewards expire on June 11.
Unlock Requirement: Reach Union Level 22. No specific quest completion is needed, making it accessible even for players who haven’t cleared Jinzhou.
Structure: The event is split into two main areas:
Cube World: A free-roam area where players can interact with Cube companions, level them up, and explore the Anniversary Cake, which grows as you progress through the story.
Abbowser Castle: The combat zone with multiple levels (up to 20) where players fight enemies and bosses to rescue kidnapped Cubes. Some levels support Co-Op multiplayer.
Gameplay Mechanics
Cube Allies: Players can equip up to three Cube Resonators per character, which replace the Echo slot during combat. These Cubes (e.g., Jinhsi, Shorekeeper, Changli, Camellya) have unique abilities that activate automatically or when casting Echo Skills. Additional Cubes unlock as you progress through the story.
Transformation: During combat, characters can transform into their equipped Cube to use its special ability, then revert to their original form.
Modules: Cubes can be upgraded with three types of Modules, unlocked by leveling up or purchased with 1st Anniversary Coins at Abbowser’s Shop:
Standard Modules: Boost stats like ATK or Crit DMG (e.g., The King's New Armory, Reflex Implant).
Ability Modules: Grant new skills or enhance existing ones (e.g., Orange Slice, Unknown Matter).
Awakening Modules: Provide significant boosts, like increased skill duration or damage (e.g., Stirred Heart for Jinhsi).
Each Cube has ten slots for Modules, unlocked as they level up.
Combat Stages: Levels are divided into waves of normal and elite enemies, culminating in a boss fight. Each stage is tied to an element (Glacio, Fusion, Electro, Spectro, Aero), and players may need to adjust teams if elements clash.
Co-Op: Select levels allow multiplayer, enabling players to team up to defeat Abbowser’s minions.
Recommended Cube Builds and Teams
Jinhsi Cube: A top DPS choice, especially with Projectile Modules (e.g., It’s Bullet Time!), Conqueror of Eternity for skill duration, and Stirred Heart for DMG bonus. Pair with Roccia Cube for crowd control and Shorekeeper Cube for buffs.
Camellya Cube: Excels as a Havoc DPS with AoE skills. Use Ultra Frequency Conversion Solvent and Conqueror of Eternity for attack speed and duration, plus Orange Slice for projectiles.
Brant Cube: A support/healer Cube. Equip Reflex Implant, It’s Bullet Time, Universal Salve, and Warm Marble for healing and buffs.
Team Compositions:
Levels 1–5: Use Changli, Brant, and Shorekeeper Cubes with Camellya or Roccia for DPS and crowd control. Shorekeeper Cube buffs the team, while Jinhsi Cube acts as a damage nuke.
Levels 6–10: Camellya Hypercarry with Roccia and Shorekeeper Cubes for buffs and crowd control. Alternatively, a Brant-Changli dual Fusion DPS team works well.
Levels 11–15: Zani Hypercarry with Phoebe (sub-DPS) and Verina (support) for Spectro Frazzle synergy. Use Jinhsi and Roccia Cubes for DPS and crowd control.
Endgame (Levels 16–21): Focus on Jinhsi or Camellya Cubes with Tier V/VI Modules. A Spectro Frazzle team (Zani, Phoebe, Verina) with Shorekeeper and Roccia Cubes is highly effective.

Tips for Progression
Upgrade Cubes: Use Special Cube Cookies and 1st Anniversary Coins to unlock Module slots and enhance Cube stats. Focus on your primary DPS Cube (e.g., Jinhsi or Camellya).
Module Strategy: Prioritize Modules that match your Cube’s role (e.g., DPS Cubes need Crit and ATK boosts, support Cubes need healing/buff Modules). Check Abbowser’s Shop regularly for new Modules.
Stage Selection: If a stage’s element counters your Cubes (e.g., Spectro Cubes vs. Spectro bosses), exit and restart to get a different element stage.
Co-Op Advantage: Use Co-Op for tougher levels (e.g., 16–21) to leverage team synergy.
Daily Voting for Cubie Derby: Vote for Cubes with high Underdog Odds in the Cubie Derby sub-event to maximize Popularity Support returns. Use all Popularity Points daily, as 80% are refunded if your Cube loses.
Additional Notes
Cubie Derby Sub-Event: A side event where players vote on 12 racing Cubes (divided into Group A and B) using Popularity Support earned from daily tasks. Rewards depend on race outcomes, with higher Underdog Odds yielding better returns. Voting is open 8:00 AM–7:30 PM daily, with races at 8:00 PM.
Permanent Access: After June 11, 2025, the event moves to the Permanent Events tab, but limited-time rewards like Astrite will no longer be available.
Difficulty Spike: Levels 16+ are noted as challenging due to tanky enemies and time constraints. Optimize Cube builds and consider Co-Op for these stages.
