Tuners make your Echoes, and as a result, your characters, in Wuthering Waves stronger, so you might want to start stocking up on Tuners as soon as possible.

Here are all the ways to get Tuners in Wuthering Waves:

In the early game, your best option to get Tuners is via exploration and progressing the Data Bank. Exploring the world and collecting Tidal Heritages (portal-looking reward points) grants both Premium and Advanced Tuners. On top of that, you can also farm some Astrite from them to buy Tides and pull for new characters.

Data Bank gives a chunk of Tuners for almost every level, and those Tuners range from Medium to Premium. Leveling up the Data Bank is a crucial part of Wuthering Waves anyway, as every level increases the chances of getting rarer Echoes, so make sure to farm monsters in your free time.

Tacet Fields are areas made specifically for farming Tuners and Echoes. But to claim rewards after clearing a Tacet Field, you need to spend 60 Waveplates. Since you only get 240 Waveplates every 24 hours, I recommend you first spend them on resources you need for character/weapon ascension before committing yourself to RNG.

Tuners are used to add new substats to your Echoes. There are three types of Tuners: Medium, Advanced, and Premium, which are needed to tune three-star, four-star, and five-star Echoes, respectively.

To tune an Echo, follow these steps:

  1. Select an Echo in your inventory
  2. Upgrade it to the required level (five/10/15/20)
  3. Switch to the tuning tab and add Tuners to reveal new stats

When maxing out your Echoes, I recommend you only level it up by five levels at a time, then reveal a new stat. This way you can minimize the resources wasted on leveling in case you get too many useless stats.
