In Kuro Games' epic open-world gacha RPG, players are keen to progress quickly. Fortunately, there's plenty of ways to gain that all-important Union EXP. Here are the best ways to gain Union EXP fast and, in turn, increase your Union Level as quickly as possible.

What is Union Level and Union EXP in Wuthering Waves?

Your Union Level in Wuthering Waves is the game's progression system. By increasing your Union Level, you'll unlock new features, items, and quests. You'll notice your Union Level affects your gameplay from the very beginning and that continues throughout, especially as it also increases your SOL3 Phase, which is the World Level.

Your SOL3 Level is the level of difficulty that you experience the whole world. As you increase your Union Level, at every 10 levels, your SOL3 World Level will become harder, meaning more challenging enemies. But, as a result, you gain more impressive rewards such as rarer echoes to collect from our list of all the echoes in Wuthering Waves.

As you progress your Union Level, you will also unlock different rewards during in-game events. Wuthering Waves' permanent Awakening Journey event gives you rewards based on your Union Level. So, when you reach level 5, 15, 25, 35, or 45, you'll be able to claim an impressive 1,600 astrite and 40 standard Banner pulls on the Wuthering Waves 1.0 Banners.

You have to spend Astrite, the in-game currency, to pull on Banners. Luckily, you'll also earn lots of astrite every time you increase your Union Level. You can spend astrite in the in-game shop buying Tides that will allow you to pull Banners for new characters and weapons.

Union EXP is primarily earned through completing in-game activities, such as quests and events, as well as spending Waveplates, the game's stamina system, and more.
