Which New Characters Are Debuting in Version 3.7?
Phase 1: Hsin
Hsin is a new 5-star Electro Resonator who uses a Rectifier. She is the Sentinel of Mengzhou and the architect and protector of Xuanfang, but her story places as much emphasis on her love for everyday human life as it does on her divine authority.
The broadcast confirmed that Hsin can fight in two distinct forms. In her lighter form, her weapon separates into linked rings that surround enemies as she moves through fast combo attacks. After building her special energy, she can create a special core and use Resonance Liberation to transform into her Sentinel form.
In Sentinel form, Hsin controls large mechanisms and recreations of Xuanfang’s architecture to attack across the battlefield. Her enhanced Resonance Liberation pulls the fight into a prototype world of Xuanfang before collapsing its structures onto enemies. The preview also showed that she can operate through two different combat approaches, including team-oriented coordination and an Electro-focused stacking mechanic.
This official showcase confirms the central idea behind the earlier dual-form reports, but players should still wait for the complete skill descriptions and final multipliers before deciding on her best rotation, teammates, Echoes, or stat priorities.
Phase 2: Suoming
Suoming is officially a new 5-star Electro Resonator who uses a Sword. She serves as a senior adjudicator in the Huanglong organization responsible for Sentinel-related affairs. Her elaborate mechanism umbrella carries the frequencies of the companions she lost while fighting a catastrophe that once devastated her homeland.
Despite the umbrella-like design of her equipment, Suoming’s weapon category is Sword. Her combat style combines rapid slashes with transformations of the mechanism umbrella into several attack forms, including a spinning umbrella, hammer-like strikes, a spear charge, and a drill-shaped finishing attack.
Suoming can build special energy through her attacks and enter a coordinated state through Resonance Liberation. After another Resonator switches onto the field, Suoming can remain active and continue attacking beside that teammate. This gives her clear off-field or coordinated-attack potential, although her exact buffs, damage ratios, and optimal teams still depend on the final in-game skill text.
What New Weapons Are Releasing in Version 3.7?
Blooming Jadehaven: Hsin’s Signature Weapon
Blooming Jadehaven is the new 5-star Rectifier released with Hsin in Phase 1. Its design resembles a miniature world built from white jade, with layered petals, red currents, pavilions, and a full moon. The weapon also changes appearance when Hsin enters her Sentinel form.
The Phase 1 weapon lineup also includes Kumokiri, Qingxiao’s signature weapon, and Moongazer’s Sigil, Iuno’s signature weapon.
Unspoken Rue: Suoming’s Signature Weapon
Unspoken Rue is the new 5-star Sword released with Suoming in Phase 2. It is concealed within the frame of an umbrella and uses a black, silver, and crimson design. The weapon’s appearance reflects both Suoming’s mechanism umbrella and the Evil Miasma sealed within it.
The Phase 2 weapon lineup also includes Freeze Frame, Lynae’s signature Pistols, and Spectrum Blaster, Luuk Herssen’s signature Rectifier.
Which Characters Are Rerunning in Version 3.7?
The Version 3.7 rerun roster is now confirmed:
- Phase 1: Iuno and Qingxiao rerun alongside Hsin.
- Phase 2: Lynae and Luuk Herssen rerun alongside Suoming.
This is a particularly crowded update for players building teams around newer Resonance Mode mechanics. Anyone still deciding whether to spend on the current Version 3.6 banners should compare these confirmed reruns before using their remaining Astrite.
Version 3.7 Story, Area, and Event Highlights
Version 3.7 continues Xuanfang’s story with Main Quest Chapter IV Act IV: Simulacrum of the Heart. Rover and Suoming enter the new Simulacrum Nexus of Mengzhou, a shifting space controlled by Hsin and filled with different emotional domains, memories, mechanisms, and traces of Xuanfang’s past.
The update also adds the new Tales Quest Moonlike Heart, Mortal Longing, the permanent event Blooms for the Shadow, five new Echoes, and three new Sonata Effects. Major events include Cubie Wars, Echo Erase, Dreams in the Capsule, Past Dreams, Traced Seals, Artisan’s Search, and Beyond the Waves: Land of Xuanfang.
Quality-of-life additions include Main Quest Replay for selected Version 1.x content, Echo stacking up to 999 copies when type, Sonata Effect, and Mainstat match, up to 20 saved team setups, a new 3D Team Setup Mode, expanded camera and selfie tools, and a limited test of tiered client resource downloads.
Are the Version 3.7 Characters Worth Pulling?
Hsin: She is the stronger early choice for players who want an on-field Electro character with an elaborate dual-form playstyle. Her transformation, large-area attacks, and two combat approaches suggest high flexibility, but a final meta verdict should wait for her complete numbers and team restrictions.
Suoming: Her ability to remain on the field after a teammate switches in gives her promising coordinated-attack and sub-DPS value. She may be especially attractive for players who want to expand teams built around coordinated actions, but the broadcast alone does not confirm her final buff values or best partners.
Reruns: Iuno and Qingxiao appear in Phase 1, while Lynae and Luuk Herssen return in Phase 2. Players with limited Astrite should prioritize the character who completes an existing team instead of splitting resources across both new Resonators and their signature weapons.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much Astrite is needed to guarantee Hsin or Suoming?
Starting from zero pity without a guaranteed featured Resonator, the worst-case cost is 160 pulls, or 25,600 Astrite. A 5-star is guaranteed within 80 pulls, but the first one has a 50% chance to be the featured Resonator. If you lose that 50/50, the next 5-star on a Featured Resonator Convene is guaranteed to be the featured character. If your next 5-star is already guaranteed, you need at most 80 pulls, or 12,800 Astrite.
Does pity carry over to the Version 3.7 banners?
Yes. Pity and the featured-character guarantee carry over between limited Featured Resonator Convenes of the same type. The simultaneously available character banners also share pity, so pulling on Hsin’s banner advances the same counter used by the Iuno and Qingxiao rerun banners. Weapon Convene pity is tracked separately and does not transfer to character banners.
Should you pull in Phase 1 or Phase 2?
Choose Phase 1 if your account needs a new on-field Electro damage dealer or you specifically want Hsin’s dual-form playstyle. Choose Phase 2 if you value Suoming’s ability to remain active after switching and want more coordinated or off-field damage options. Because the preview did not provide final multipliers, players focused on account strength should complete the character trials and wait for full kit testing before committing Astrite.
Can Hsin and Suoming be used on the same team?
They appear compatible, but an optimal pairing is not yet confirmed. Hsin was shown with a team-oriented combat mode, while Suoming can continue attacking after another Resonator enters the field. Those mechanics could work together, but the final duration, damage, buffs, and rotation requirements will determine whether they are truly best teammates or simply usable together.
Should you pull a Version 3.7 character or their signature weapon first?
For most players, securing the character first provides more value than starting with the signature weapon. Featured Weapon Convenes guarantee the featured 5-star weapon within 80 pulls and do not use the character banner’s 50/50 system, so the maximum cost from zero pity is 12,800 Astrite. Consider Blooming Jadehaven or Unspoken Rue only after securing the character and keeping enough Astrite for any later Resonator you want.
Are there free pulls during Version 3.7?
Yes. The Gifts of Singing Drizzle login event runs from October 22 to November 11, 2026 and awards a total of Radiant Tide ×10. These pulls can be used on Suoming’s Featured Resonator Convene or the concurrent Lynae and Luuk Herssen rerun banners.
