How can I get more Wuthering Waves characters?

The characters are accessible via a gacha system on the banners. Similar to other titles, like Genshin Impact banners, there is a limited banner and a standard banner where you can aim to obtain different characters. You are guaranteed a five-star character at 80 draws (or less).

When you start the game, you get Rover, Yangyang, and Chixia as free units, with a Yuanwu accessible via the Tower of Adversity. On the beginner banner you get a five star in 50 wishes and can then plot a course for a standard five star of your course on a separate banner, guaranteed in 80 draws without the risk of losing a 50/50.

The standard character pool includes Jianxin, Calcharo, Encore, Lingyang, and Verina as five-star characters, while other five-stars appear on the limited banners.
