Wuthering Waves Stranger Things in Honami Event Combat Guide

Wuthering Waves 2.8 is here, packed with exciting events and other content. One of those time-limited events is the Wuthering Waves Stranger Things in Honami Event Combat. This is the main event of this phase of the version, so if you are low on Astrite, don't miss the event, as it will offer a generous amount of 1,200 Astrite.

The gameplay is simple yet engaging, where an NPC who goes by the name Namipon from Shashou Cafe will hire you to help them investigate lingering anomalies, while helping them to secure loot to renovate their cafe. In short, if you are familiar with looter-shooter gameplay, you will feel right at home.

If you are unfamiliar with such gameplay, then this Wuthering Waves Stranger Things in Honami Event combat Guide will break down all the details that you would need to clear it while securing that bag of Astrite.

Guide to Wuthering Waves Stranger Things in Honami Event Combat

These limited events will be available from November 20, 2025 (Server time) to December 24, 2025 (Server Time). So make sure you complete all those challenges before the final date to collect the rewards. And to participate in this event, you would need to reach Union Level 14+ and complete the main quest Chapter-II Segue “Flowing Starlight in the Iris”.

The Gameplay of Stranger Things in Honami Event

The core gameplay of this Wuthering Waves event is similar to “extraction shooter” games. In this mode, you enter the overgrown area of Chronorift Metropolis to look and loot for supplies. Your primary target here is to loot supplies and bring them back to the cafe to sell; however, there is a catch.

In this event, your HP isn't the only thing that keeps you alive; there's another stat that you would need to maintain, and that is Stability. Every time you get attacked by Tacet Discords, your Stability will drop, and once it touches the 0 mark, your extraction run comes to an immediate end, and you will lose all your items.

So whenever you notice that your Stability is low or the bag is full, try to locate a Telephone Booth to book the Namipon Shuttle, which will be your “Safe Extraction” point.

The loot that you managed to send back to the cafe isn't for decoration, as you will be selling those to earn a currency known as Rice Dangos. By using Rice Dangos, you will be upgrading the cafe, as it will unlock various passives that Resonators can use during exploration in this event.

In this event, your stats will be heavily influenced by Namipon Strikers, an exclusive system for the event. You will drop strikers the more you defeat foes, open supply chests, or break objects, just like the looter-shooter games.

The Stickers System details

The Stickers System will provide multiple boosts, and those are:

• Buffs - Providing stat enhancements.
• Sets - Equipping a matching set will activate powerful special effects.

The game also has an auto-equip mode, so if you wanna lie back and enjoy the event, then let the game make the adjustments as needed while you slay the enemies.

Namipon Support System

Namipon provides crucial support during your exploration by accompanying you and acting as the active support unit, providing support skills. Healing, de-buffs, or DMG boost, whatever you need, your personal capybara has it all.

Recommended Team Comps, Strategy, and more

In this event, running a comp that has balanced speed and sustain is the way, but you are free to run anyone. But for the Rovers who can't decide here is our recommendation:

• Cartethyia+ Chisa+ Shorekeeper

This comp can clear any challenge, while maintaining a higher survivability than most other comps.

Strategy

Once you enter the Zone, focus on the main objective, which is defeating the Boss. While looting, pick only High-Value Stickers and limited supplies. After you are done with looting, move on to kill the boss, which drops the best stickers and loot.

So swab out the lower quality ones with the newer and higher quality ones. If you're already exploring limited-time modes, make sure you also check out our Wuthering Waves Phoebe Best Builds and Teams to optimize your roster outside this event.

Once the bag is full, extract immediately by locating a nearby phone booth from where you can book the shuttle.

This is the best possible way to progress in this event. Before diving deeper, you can also check our complete Wuthering Waves Chisa Best Builds and Teams guide, especially if you want to optimise your roster for tougher event stages.

Rewards

This is the primary event of this version, so the rewards are quite big as well. This event will reward you with the following:

• Astrite x1,200
• Phantom: The False Sovereign
• Title: Honami Doom Walker
• Avatar: Post-Doomsday Coffee
• Modifiers

This event is quite long, so take your time to form your own strategy, and while you are into that, how about you check out our Wuthering Waves page to stay updated on future news and leaks?
