This is the Only Way to Claim Xiangli Yao for Free!

After introducing new banners in Wuthering Waves update 1.2, we’re closer to getting a 5-star resonator Xiangli Yao for free.

Besides, if the latest Xiangli trailer has hyped you about him, you’re not alone! It has already proved me wrong.

Now if you like to try him out, here’s how you can claim Xiangli Yao for free:

When Can You Get Xiangli Yao?

Mark your calendar for September 7th at 10:00 AM. That’s when the event starts, but double-check the exact time in your game to be sure.

What Do You Need to Do?

Step 1: Join the Autumn Festival Event

• Find the Autumn Festival event in your game’s main menu
• Once in the event, you’ll be managing various stalls. Each stall gives you rewards, including popularity points, which are crucial for claiming Xiangli Yao.

Note: The event to claim Xiangli Yao will be available starting on September 7th at 10:00 (specific timezone may vary, so check in-game for precise details).

Step 2: Run the Festival Stalls

• In the event, you’ll be in charge of different stalls
• Each stall gives you rewards, including “popularity points”
• These points are super important for getting Xiangli Yao

Note: you need to accumulate 6,000 popularity points

Step 3: Get Lots of Popularity Points

• Complete missions available at the stalls. Each mission contributes to your popularity score.
• Try to get high “wish ratings”
• Upgrade your stalls – some can give you up to 1,000 points when they’re at a high level.

Note: You need 6,000 popularity points to unlock Xiangli Yao. Here’s how to get them:

Step 4: Keep Track of Your Progress

• Check how many points you have in the event menu
• You can probably get all 6,000 points in a day which makes it quite an easy task for you.

Step 5: Claim Your New Character

• Go to the event menu where you can track your progress.
• On or after September 7th, there will be an option to claim Xiangli Yao directly from the event tab once the countdown ends.

Wrap-Up

Getting Xiangli Yao for free is a great chance to add a strong character to your team. Have fun with the Autumn Festival event and enjoy playing with your new character once it unlocks after Sept. 7!
