Embark on an adventure in Genshin Impact’s vast world, featuring breathtaking landscapes, hidden treasures, and expansive bodies of water waiting to be explored. With the introduction of the Waverider Boat in patch 1.6, players can now navigate the seas in style. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of unlocking, summoning, and effectively using the Waverider Boat.
Unlocking the Waverider Boat:
To access the Waverider Boat, players must first unlock the Inazuma region by reaching Adventure Rank 30 and completing the Archon Quest Chapter 2: Prologue – Autumn Winds and Scarlet Leaves. This milestone opens up the vast seas of the Raiden Shogun’s domain for exploration.
Summoning the Waverider:
Summoning the Waverider involves locating Waverider Waypoints scattered generously throughout Inazuma. Similar to activating Teleporters, these Waypoints, once activated, materialize a Waverider on the nearby shoreline. Interact with the boat to become the captain of your very own mini-ship.
Waverider Controls and Features:
Equipped with various abilities, the Waverider is a versatile vessel. It features a Normal Attack named Swiftstrike Cannon, ideal for dispatching lightly armored foes, and a powerful Special Attack known as the Heavy Cannon, dealing substantial AoE damage. The boat has a separate stamina bar for acceleration, and its unique ability to regenerate health adds resilience in the face of combat or unexpected obstacles.
Navigating the Seas:
Navigating the Waverider is intuitive, with controls varying based on the gaming platform. PC users employ the F key to board, the E key for the Heavy Cannon, and the Left Mouse button for the Swiftstrike Cannon. Mobile and PlayStation users have platform-specific controls, ensuring a seamless sailing experience for all players.
Waverider Waypoint Locations:
Waverider Waypoints are strategically placed across Inazuma, offering convenient spots for summoning the boat. Additionally, the limited-time Golden Apple Archipelago, introduced during the Midsummer Island Adventure event, features its own set of Waverider Waypoints.
Waverider Repair Toolbox:
In the event of damage, the Waverider Repair Toolbox, obtained as a reward from Act I of the Midsummer Adventure Island challenges, becomes a valuable asset. Found in the Gadgets Inventory, players can access the toolbox, select “Use,” and enjoy unlimited repairs with a 90-second cooldown. Sail the seas of Genshin Impact with confidence and style using the Waverider Boat.
