What is Crystal Solvent in Wuthering Waves?

Cystal Solvent is an item you can use to replenish your Waveplate in Wuthering Waves. You get 60 Waveplate per one Crystal Solvent used, and you can use Crystal Solvent by navigating to the 'Valuables' tab in the 'Backpack' menu, or when you run out of Waveplate when trying to claim your Challenge rewards.

While you can also replenish Waveplate by spending Astrite at a rate of 60 Astrite for 60 Waveplate Energy, we recommend just using Crystal Solvent, as there is a daily limit to converting Astrite into Waveplate, and isn't really worth it in our opinion. The Tides you can purchase with Astrite instead are more worth it in the long run - but it's up to you in the end!
