World Level in Wuthering Waves: How to Increase and Demote SOL3 Phase Rank

In Wuthering Waves world level or SOL3 Phase is an important parameter on which the strength of monsters and the rarity of the rewards often depend. It can be raised or lowered. In this guide you will learn how to do this. We will also tell you what exactly this indicator affects and to what value it should be increased.

What is the SOL3 Phase rank for in Wuthering Waves?

This parameter, together with level of unity (Union Level) demonstrates the player's progress. These values ​​are closely related to each other, since the first increases only with the growth of the second, and vice versa. Many elements of the game depend on the rank of the world, namely:

• The strength of ordinary and elite enemies, as well as bosses.
• Rewards for defeating bosses, completing daily activities, completing challenges, and so on.
• Unlocking new story quests, companion quests, side missions, and so on.
• The limits on upgrading abilities, weapons and heroes.

In short, the higher your SOL3 Phase rank, the stronger the monsters will become and the more valuable the rewards will be. Thus, the developers do not allow players to relax and encourage them to further upgrade their characters.

Benefits of increasing SOL3 Phase ranks

The table below shows all eight ranks of SOL3 Phases in Wuthering Waves, the unity levels at which they become available, as well as restrictions on leveling up characters and weapons.

After reaching a certain value, the level of unity will stop increasing until you increase the rank of the world. Moreover, access to various content depends on this indicator.

Note: If you decide not to increase the SOL3 Phases, then experience will continue to accumulate, but the level of Unity will not increase. When you finally decide to increase the corresponding parameter, the accumulated unity points will immediately increase your level.

Note that not only access to different types of challenges depends on the level of unity, but also the discovery of their different stages of difficulty, in which more valuable rewards appear. Additionally, world rank is important for co-op. The fact is that you can only join those players who have this parameter either equal to or lower than your value.

How to Rank SOL3 Phase in Wuthering Waves

We have already noted above that this indicator directly depends on the level of unity, that is, after pumping the latter to a certain value (we talked in detail about all the ways to increase it in separate guide ) you can increase the rank of the world. This is done either automatically by the game itself (every 10 levels of unity), or by completing a special exaltation quest (every 20 levels of unity).

Completing quests to increase the rank of Phase SOL3

These tasks are similar to each other, so we will analyze only one of them. They will automatically appear in your journal at 20th, 40th and 60th unity levels. Next, you will need to travel to the Resonance Nexus in the city of Jinzhou and talk to the stranger.

After that, go to the west of the city and find the portal there. Go inside it and begin the challenge. You will just need to deal with 8 opponents in 180 seconds. With well-leveled characters, this task will not be difficult for you.

Is it necessary to increase the level of the world?

Above we examined in detail the benefits of increasing this parameter, but there are certain nuances. The fact is that almost all story and secondary tasks in the game, as well as most of its mechanics, open up to the 40th level of unity.

Thus, if you just want to enjoy exploring Solaris 3, complete missions and participate in various events, then for now you will have enough unlock world rank 4.

If you want to pump up your characters and weapons to the maximum, clearing dungeons on the highest difficulty and fighting high-level bosses, then you will have to open at least 7th rank of SOL3 Phase.

How to lower the level of the world in Wuthering Waves

If the bosses have become too strong or you cannot complete any task, then it makes sense to reduce the rank of the SOL3 Phase. This feature appeared in the game simultaneously with its release. It has a number of features:

• Access to this option appears immediately after reaching world rank 2, so you won’t have to wait long.
• You can only lower it by one level, that is, if you had the 6th, then you will return to the 5th.
• You can lower the rank of a world any number of times and stay on it for as long as you like. However, this indicator is allowed to be changed only once every half a day, so it can be restored only after 12 hours.

Lowering the level of the world is quite easy. You just need to open the main menu (Esc key) and click on the icon to the right of your current rank. A new window will immediately open with the “Lower SOL3 Phase” option. Just click on it, and then confirm your choice by clicking on the inscription “Confirm”. There is also a function to restore this parameter.

Consequences of reducing the rank of SOL3 Phase

Enemies and bosses will become weaker, but your characters will not be weakened, and the level of unity will remain the same. In addition, all open dungeons will remain available for clearing. Plus, you can still level up your characters. However, there are still some negative aspects - they are all related to the rewards given out (they will become less valuable).

As such, you will need to make decisions about downgrading a world based on your current goals and objectives. We advise you to reduce it when you cannot complete a difficult task or kill a difficult boss.
