Version 3.5 Banner Schedule Overview
Following the standard six‑week patch cycle, Version 3.5 is expected to go live around July 23, 2026.
Here's the confirmed banner breakdown for this update:
| Banner Phase | Featured 5‑Star Character | Signature Weapon | Estimated Date Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Yangyang: Xuanling | Azure of Heaven (Sword) | July 23, 2026 – August 13, 2026 |
| Phase 2 | Suisui | Dew Imbiber (Rectifier) | August 13, 2026 – September 3, 2026 |
Note: Exact dates remain subject to official confirmation during the livestream, but the character and weapon details are based on reliable late‑beta data.
Which New Characters Are Debuting in Version 3.5?
Phase 1: Yangyang: Xuanling
The first half brings us Yangyang: Xuanling, a stunning 5‑star Havoc Sword hyper‑carry. This isn't the free 4‑star support you remember—Xuanling completely reworks Yangyang's kit into a high‑octane stance‑dancer. She fluidly swaps between Azure Sword Stance and Feather Sword Stance, balancing her unique Melody resource to unleash devastating Heavy Attacks while stacking Havoc Bane on enemies. Her Forte Circuit rewards skilled play with free 100% Crit. DMG buffs, making her one of the highest skill‑ceiling DPS units in the game. If you love a character that feels like a dance of death, Xuanling is your captain.
Phase 2: Suisui
In the second half, we welcome Suisui, a 5‑star Glacio Rectifier and premium support/healer with deep ties to Xuanling. Her kit is built entirely around amplifying the Havoc Bane archetype. Her Resonance Liberation, Song of Thoroughfare, makes enemies take increased Havoc DMG that ignores DEF and RES when affected by Havoc Bane. Her Outro Skill grants up to 25% All DMG Amplification, with further bonuses scaling from her Energy Regen. Suisui doesn't just keep your team alive—she supercharges the entire negative‑status playstyle, making her Xuanling's best‑in‑slot partner. Even outside that niche, she's a flexible healer who can fit into any team needing strong sustain and damage buffs.
What New Weapons Are Releasing in Version 3.5?
Phase 1 Signature Weapon: Azure of Heaven
- Type: 5‑star Sword
- Base ATK: 588 | Crit. Rate: 24.3%
- Passive (Unbending): Grants 12% All‑Attribute DMG Bonus. When the wielder applies Havoc Bane, their Heavy Attack DMG is Amplified by 36% and ignores 12% of the target's DEF for 8s.
This weapon is tailor‑made for Yangyang: Xuanling. Because she applies Havoc Bane with nearly every part of her kit, the uptime on this buff is nearly permanent. The DEF ignore and massive Heavy Attack amplification make it a massive upgrade over any F2P alternative, and its Crit. Rate substat makes building her a breeze.
Phase 2 Signature Weapon: Dew Imbiber
- Type: 5‑star Rectifier
- Base ATK: 413 | Energy Regen: 77.04%
- Passive (Spring Wreath): Max HP increased by 12%. Casting Resonance Liberation restores 8 Concerto Energy (20s cooldown). Casting Intro Skill or Resonance Skill grants nearby Resonators Kingfisher for 30s. While the wielder is on the field, Kingfisher increases ATK of affected Resonators by 20%. While the wielder is off‑field, applying Glacio Chafe grants Tinted Snow for 6s, and applying healing grants Ripples for 6s. Having both Tinted Snow and Ripples simultaneously enhances Kingfisher's effect. Casting Outro Skill after having both applied healing and inflicted Glacio Chafe while on the field grants both Tinted Snow and Ripples for 6s and resets the effects. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
This is the ultimate support catalyst for Suisui. The massive Energy Regen substat directly feeds her Outro Skill scaling, while the HP boost strengthens her heals. The Kingfisher buff provides a near‑permanent 20% ATK steroid for the team, and the Tinted Snow/Ripples mechanic rewards her Glacio Chafe and healing playstyle with even stronger team buffs. It is an enormous upgrade for any Suisui team and highly recommended if you plan to main her.
Which Characters Are Rerunning in Version 3.5?
Official rerun targets remain currently unknown. Because of their long absence, community speculation points toward Jinhsi or Changli possibly returning. We'll update this section the moment Kuro Games confirms the rerun lineup.
Are the Version 3.5 Characters Worth Pulling?
- Yangyang: Xuanling: Yes, if you can build her premium team. She is an absolute monster in terms of raw Heavy Attack damage, but she's squishy and demands a specific Havoc Bane ecosystem (Suisui + Chisa) to hit her true ceiling. If you're a free‑to‑play player looking for a plug‑and‑play DPS, she might be tricky to optimize without her dedicated squad. However, for Havoc enthusiasts and those who enjoy a high‑risk, high‑reward playstyle, she's a must‑pull.
- Suisui: Extremely high pull value. Even outside of Xuanling teams, she's a top‑tier healer who provides enormous damage amplification and enables the Havoc Bane meta. Her utility in other elemental teams is still being theorycrafted, but her base kit makes her one of the safest support investments in the game.
- Weapons: Azure of Heaven is a massive power spike for Xuanling; if you skip it, Emerald of Genesis is the best F2P alternative. Dew Imbiber is a near‑essential pull for Suisui mains, providing unmatched Energy Regen and team‑wide ATK buffs that perfectly complement her kit. Both signatures are high value for their respective units.
- Rerun Characters: To be updated.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will my pity carry over to these new banners?
Absolutely. All pity counters and guarantees from the current character event banners will carry forward into both Xuanling's and Suisui's limited banners.
Is there any free character arriving in this update?
While not a separate unit, leaks strongly suggest that the Rover will unlock their new Electro attribute during the main story of this patch. That gives every player a brand‑new, completely F2P‑friendly combat style to experiment with.
Which phase is better for a beginner?
If you already have a solid main DPS, Phase 2's Suisui offers more long‑term account value as a universal support and healer. If you're brand‑new and starving for a carry, Xuanling can solo carry you through early content—but remember she really shines with her ideal teammates, which might take time to assemble. Evaluate your roster before pulling.
Are there any active Wuthering Waves codes for this patch?
Yes! Kuro Games routinely drops redemption codes during livestreams and community events. You can find the latest working list on the Wuthering Waves codes page to grab free Astrites before these banners arrive.
