Overview[]
While riding it, the player can use two types of weapons: the Swiftstrike and Heavy Cannons. The Swiftstrike, which replaces the player's Normal Attack, has a 1-second cooldown and deals 100% ATK as Physical DMG when fired. The Heavy Cannon, which replaces the player's Elemental Skill, launches a bomb that explodes dealing 200% ATK as AoE Physical DMG. It has a 15-second cooldown. Both attacks can be used to damage enemies and take down certain submerged Hilichurl Structures.
The player can also speed up the boat to consume an amount of engine stamina. Its stamina is independent of the player's stamina. Stamina regeneration is also independent; the Waverider's stamina will continue to regenerate even when the player is not riding it, and the player's stamina will continue to regenerate while riding the Waverider. If the stamina is fully depleted, it will not cause death; the Waverider can continue to move at a normal speed, similar to what happens when the player runs out of stamina while sprinting on land, or swimming in the waters of Fontaine.
The Waverider will have a certain level and amount of HP (e.g., Lv. 90 with 42821 HP). Using the Waverider Repair Toolbox gadget will restore 50% of its HP. If the Waverider reaches 0 HP, the player will be ejected from it. The player can also self-eject by holding the jump button. When the Waverider is not taking damage, once every 2 seconds, it will heal 5% Max HP if a player is inside or 0.65% Max HP if empty.
The player cannot take damage while inside the Waverider, including from Ley Line Disorders. Only the Waverider can be destroyed.
Ejecting from the Waverider will cause the player to shoot into the sky while gliding.
While sailing, if one steers too far off course into the fog, they will automatically return to the last activated Glimmering Beacon.

Descriptions[]
Unlike normal boats, the Waverider's motive force is generated by some mystical art. This allows it to break free from the shackles of wind and wave, traveling swiftly on the water's surface. Can to be summoned to its owner's side using a Waverider Waypoint.
A ship is a tiny strip of land amidst the unplumbed depths of the ocean expanse, bringing those aboard some measure of comfort. For an outlander who forever wanders, belonging to no nation, owning a ship is in some ways synonymous with having a home to call one's own.

Trivia[]
- Prior to Version 2.4, it was impossible to use the Waverider outside of either the Golden Apple Archipelago (in Version 1.6) or Inazuma. However, during the The Great Gathering event, it was possible to use the Waverider in Guyun Stone Forest, Liyue. Despite this, if the player attempted to leave the area, a popup would occur that states the player is leaving the quest area; they would then be teleported to just outside the Alcor.
- As of Version 2.5, upon completion of Raiden Shogun's Story Quest, Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II - Transient Dreams, the Waverider can be taken out of Inazuma to anywhere in Teyvat. However, Waverider Waypoints do not exist in Mondstadt or Liyue.
- The Wavesplitter is a small watercraft that is very similar to the Waverider. It is used by The Crux as a small transport and attack craft; it is carried onboard and launched from the Alcor. Its color scheme differs from that of the Waverider, with red, blue, and gold highlights that echo the color scheme of the Alcor. Currently, it can only be used during Beidou's Hangout Event: Act I - When the Crux Shines Bright, in the Time Trial Challenge in Training: The Spear of The Crux.
- Miitoboru is an event-exclusive NPC that takes the form of a Waverider during Summertime Odyssey. Miitoboru's dialogue indicates that the player is sailing him while using Waveriders in the Golden Apple Archipelago.
