Pioneer Podcast Battle Pass in Wuthering Waves explained

Pioneer Podcast is Wuthering Waves’ Battle Pass system and, like in many other games, it features a free and a premium tier. Players can unlock Pioneer Podcast by reaching Union Level 9 in the game.

The free tier, called Public Channel, rewards players with different resources, materials, and Shell Credits as they complete certain objectives and reach milestones. The rewards reset with every new update, just like in other gacha games like HSR or Genshin Impact.

The premium version of Wuthering Waves‘ Battle Pass is called Insider Channel and it rewards players with more items and even Astrite. Insider Channel costs USD 9.99 / € 9.99 and gives players access to a 4-star golden weapon.

Lastly, Connoisseur Channel is an even more premium tier of the Battle Pass that costs USD 19.99 / €20.99 and unlocks 10 levels from the start as well as some additional rewards. If you already purchased the Insider Channel, you can get Connoisseur Channel for USD 11.99 / €20.99.

How to get weapons from Wuthering Waves’ Battle Pass

To get a weapon from Wuthering Waves’ Battle Pass, you’ll need to reach level 30 in the Insider Channel.

You can do this by clearing daily and weekly objectives from the Battle Pass. Alternatively, buying the Connoisseur Channel automatically unlocks 10 levels, so keep that in mind.

Best Battle Pass weapon in Wuthering Waves

The Broadblade Autumntrace is the best weapon in Wuthering Waves’ Pioneer Podcast. This weapon increases your Resonators’ ATK by simply using Basic or Heavy Attacks, so it’s very easy to trigger. Additionally, its effects can be stacked up to five times, increasing ATK by 20% in total.

Of course, not all characters can use Broadblades, so make sure you pick the weapon that best suits your team composition.

All Wuthering Waves Battle Pass weapons ranked

Here are all Wuthering Waves’ weapons in the Pioneer Podcast Battle Pass ranked from worst to best alongside their descriptions:

5 – Stonard (Gauntlets)

When Resonance Skill is released, it increases the caster’s Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus by 18%, lasting for 15 seconds.

While all weapons on the list are better than three-star weapons you can find by exploring, Stonard has very specific conditions that make it the less viable of the lot.

4 – Lumingloss (Sword)

When Resonance Skill is released, it increases Basic Attack DMG and Heavy Attack DMG by 20%, stacking up to one time. This effect lasts for 10 seconds and can be triggered one time every second.

Most characters you get in the early game use Swords, so you can consider getting Lumingloss for one of them.

3 – Thunderbolt (Pistols)

When hitting a target with Basic Attacks or Heavy Attacks, it increases Resonance Skill DMG Bonus by 7%, stacking up to three times. This effect lasts for 10 seconds and can be triggered one time every second.

There aren’t many Pistol-wielding characters in Wuthering Waves yet, but if you have one, equipping them with Thunderbolt can be a great move.

2 – Augment (Rectifier)

When Resonance Liberation is released, it increases the caster’s ATK by 15%, lasting for 15 seconds.

Units that use a Rectifier can benefit from Augment, specially when dealing with powerful enemies like bosses. This is a great addition for Resonators like Yinlin, so keep that in mind if you pulled her.

1 – Autumntrace (Broadblade)

Increases ATK by 4% upon dealing Basic Attack DMG or Heavy Attack DMG, stacking up to five times. This effect lasts for seven seconds and can be triggered one time every second.

On top of these powerful effects, Autumntrace’s stats make it the best weapon in Wuthering Waves’ Pioneer Podcast, as you can improve your team’s CRIT Rate to deal powerful attacks constantly.
