Overflowing Picture Book - Wuthering Waves (WuWa) 2.5

The Overflowing Picture Book is a limited-time puzzle event in Wuthering Waves Version 2.5, running from August 7, 2025, to August 25, 2025. It’s an extension of the Overflowing Palette puzzles found in Rinascita, where players solve color-based puzzles by transforming connected tiles into a target color within a set number of moves. The event features seven daily stages, each with three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Difficult), and rewards include Astrites, Shell Credits, Premium Energy Cores, and character/weapon level-up materials.

### Event Details
- **Unlock Requirements**: Reach Union Level 14 and complete the Main Quest "Through the Sea Thou Break" in Chapter II: Prologue.
- **How to Start**: Talk to Alix near Masked Reverie in Ragunna to access the event, which gets its own Fast Travel point after the first interaction.
- **Gameplay**: Select a color and click a tile to change all connected tiles of the same color to the chosen one. The goal is to make the entire board a specific color within limited moves. Higher difficulties unlock after clearing lower ones, with daily stage unlocks.

### Player Feedback
- Some players enjoy the puzzles, comparing them to relaxing games like Kami 2, appreciating the break from combat-heavy events. Others criticize the event as “lazy,” preferring it as overworld content rather than a time-gated event, arguing it detracts from WuWa’s action RPG focus.

### Tips
- Track puzzles via Exploration Progress or the Tales of the Isles event.
- If stuck, reset the puzzle; excessive resets may prompt a difficulty-lowering option.
