Where to get LF Howler Core in Wuthering Waves

There are three main ways to get LF Howler Core in Wuthering Waves:

  • Defeating wild Tacet Discord enemies.
  • Buy from weapon forgers for 1,500 shell credits.
  • Purchase in the in-game premium store for 15 Oscillated Coral.

The easiest way to get LF Howler Core is to defeat wild Tacet Discords. Enemies like Hoartoise, Roseshroom, Spearback, and Gulpuff are a few examples you’ll encounter early on. Focusing on low-grade enemies will help you get LF Howler Core, while high-tier monsters typically drop higher-grade variants.

Alternatively, you can visit Uncle Wei, the weapon forger in Jinzhou, and purchase some for shell credits. Although his stock is limited, you can buy plenty of LF Howler Cores for your first few upgrades, allowing you to strengthen your character before farming for more materials. Weapon forgers also have materials like Crude Rings and LF Whisperin Core for other Resonator ascensions.

Your last option for obtaining LF Howler Core is to use Wuthering Waves’ Item Exchange to purchase five LF Howler Cores for 15 Oscillated Corals. You’ll obtain Oscillated Coral as you participate in character and weapon Convene events, which you can spend on these ascension materials alongside Radiant and Forging Tide.

How to use LF Howler Core in Wuthering Waves

LF Howler Core is a material you need to ascend Resonators, skills, and weapons. Characters like Jiyan, Verina, and Jianxin use Howler Cores for their upgrades, with LF Howler Core being the first you’ll use.

Once you reach level 20 with one of these characters, you’ll have to use this alongside their secondary material to ascend them. You can also upgrade your characters’ skills, allowing them to deal more damage, heal more, or gain other buffs to assist you in battle.

If you’ve already upgraded your characters beyond LF Howler Core levels, you can use the material at a synthesizer to turn them into MF Howler Core. As your characters ascend, they’ll need stronger cores to break through to the next rank, requiring you to farm for higher-grade materials or synthesize them using more common versions.
