First things first—let's talk currency. In Wuthering Waves, Astrites are your primary premium currency. You earn them through events, quests, and exploration. Here's how Astrites convert to pulls:
Scroll within the list to view more productsContinue reading
Lustrous Tide (Character Banner Pulls) - Used for limited character banners
Radiant Tide (Weapon Banner Pulls) - Used for limited weapon banners
Forging Tide (Standard Banner Pulls) - Used for the permanent banner
Generally, 160 Astrites = 1 pull. You can convert Astrites to whichever specific Tide you need in the shop.
Pity System Explained
Character Banners: You're guaranteed a 5-star character within 80 pulls. The first 5-star has a 50% chance to be the featured character. If you lose the 50/50, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character.
Weapon Banners: Also have 80-pull pity, but when you get a 5-star weapon, it's 100% guaranteed to be one of the two featured weapons on the banner.
Banner Types
Limited Banners: These feature exclusive characters and weapons that rotate every 3 weeks. Once the banner ends, you'll have to wait for a rerun (which can take months).
Standard Banner: A permanent banner with a rotating pool of characters and weapons that never leaves. However, it's generally not recommended to spend Astrites here—save them for limited banners!
Beginner Banner: New players get a discounted banner with guaranteed pulls at reduced rates. If you're starting fresh, don't skip this!
What’s the current banner in WuWa right now?
Wuthering Waves is currently in Version 3.2 Banner, titled Resolution to Illuminate the Shadows.
Wuwa V.3.2 Duration: March 19, 2026 – April 29, 2026
⚠️ Clarification: While Yangyang is a playable 4-star character in the game, her specific inclusion as a rate-up (drop rate boosted) character in the Phase 1 banner of Version 3.2 has not been officially confirmed by Kuro Games as of the announcement date.
Sigrika is the brand-new Aero main DPS with a gauntlet-based combat kit, built entirely around Resonance Skill damage scaling. She pairs perfectly with the rerun Qiuyuan to unlock the full potential of Aero teams, delivering explosive single-target damage, rapid combo loops, and flexible on-field play.
Lynae, Phoebe, and Zani are the foundational pillars of top-tier Spectro Frazzle and Diffraction team archetypes, bringing irreplaceable team-building options for both new and veteran players. This combined rerun is the perfect chance to round out your Spectro rosters, unlock high-ceiling endgame clears, and max out the full potential of your Spectro-based compositions.
Aero mains & Qiuyuan owners: Prioritize Sigrika at S0 first—she’s the final piece of the Qiuyuan-Aero meta core. 0+1 (base + signature weapon) is ideal for smooth, consistent clears.
F2P & new players: Secure Sigrika first if you lack a strong main DPS; save extra pulls for Phase 2’s Lynae or 3.3 Anniversary banners.
Spectro mains: Prioritize Lynae first in Phase 2 for her universal team buffs. Only pull Phoebe & Zani for a dedicated Spectro Frazzle team.
Sigrika's Signature Weapon
Solsworn Ciphers is her undisputed best in slot: it massively boosts Aero damage, Resonance Skill damage, crit rate, and energy regen to keep her rotation smooth and high-damage at all times. Budget players can use high-refined 4-star gauntlets like Abyss Surges as a solid stopgap.
Version 3.2 Freebies & Events

What About Wuwa Version 3.3 Banners?
Release Date: Late April 2026 (Expected: April 23 – May 14)
Theme: "Rimefall Ritual: Anniversary Awakening"
Note: Version 3.3 is the anniversary version for version Wuthering Waves.
Phase 1: Hiyuki (Late Apr – Mid-May)
📅 Late April – Mid-May 2026
🆕 Hiyuki – Glacio Sword/Main DPS
Hiyuki is a 5-star Glacio Sword resonator and shrine maiden of the icy northern reaches, designed as the premier on-field DPS for Frost Build-up (Rimefall) compositions. Her kit revolves around dual-form transformation and devastating ice burst damage.
Combat Modes:
• Enters "White Eclipse" form upon maxing Frost Build-up stacks, converting all basic attacks into AoE Glacio slashes with enhanced Rimefall application • Accumulates "Blizzard Sigils" through coordinated team attacks, unleashing massive detonation damage via Resonance Liberation • Generates protective frost fields that reduce incoming damage while boosting party Crit DMG against frozen targets • Synergizes exclusively with Rimefall-aligned supports; lacks Parallax mechanics to ensure pure elemental teambuilding • Scales heavily with Crit Rate/DMG and Glacio DMG bonuses, requiring precise rotation timing
⚠️ Non confirmé officiellement
🆕Reruns : Aemeath (Rerun), Morny (Rerun)
🆕Weapon Banner: Absolute Zero Blade (New) | Luminous Haze | Lunar Gazer’s Mark
Phase 2: Dania (Mid-May – Early Jun)
📅 Mid-May – Early June 2026
🆕 Dania – Fusion Rectifier/Support
Dania is a 5-star Fusion Rectifier specialist and the missing Ignition Build-up enabler who completes the Aemeath hypercarry composition. As an off-field sub-DPS, she provides sustained Fusion application and rotation acceleration.
How She Works:
Deploys "Ember Tones" via her rectifier, dealing persistent off-field Fusion DMG and applying Ignition Build-up stacks
Accelerates Fusion Burst accumulation for main DPS units, effectively compressing rotation times by 20-30%
Grants team-wide Energy Regen and Fusion DMG bonuses upon casting Resonance Skill
Possesses child model body type with high mobility, enabling quick Concerto transitions
Mandatory for Aemeath main DPS teams; skippable if not invested in Ignition/Fusion compositions
Following the 2.3 anniversary format, Version 3.3 introduces the Anniversary Character Convene allowing players to select from multiple returning 5-star resonators in a single banner. Past signature weapons will also be available in the Anniversary Weapon Convene
Login Rewards
"Grand Assembly" – Limited-time anniversary login event: 10× Lustrous Tides + exclusive "Echo of Celebration" avatar frame
New Outfits Two new character outfits will debut during the anniversary period: • Morny – confirmed to receive a new skin (exact design TBA) • One additional unrevealed outfit (speculated to be for a high-priority DPS unit)
Anniversary Store Reset • First Purchase Bonus Reset – All Astrite purchase tiers will reset to double bonus status upon version update
⚠️Note: Version 3.3 marks Wuthering Waves' second anniversary, with the official anniversary date falling on May 22, 2026. While Hiyuki demands dedicated Rimefall team investment as the first premium Glacio DPS since Carlotta, Dania completes the Ignition ecosystem for Aemeath players. The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration (featuring Lucy and Rebecca) is confirmed for Version 3.4, making 3.3 the critical decision point for resource allocation
What’s coming in the Wuwa v3.4 - v3.7 banner roadmap?
Alright, here's where things get exciting—but also a bit speculative. This info comes from leaks and datamines, so take it with a grain of salt. Things can change, but this should give you a solid idea of what's on the horizon!
Version 3.4 - Cyberpunk Edgerunners Collab!
This is HUGE! Wuthering Waves is collaborating with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to bring two fan-favorite characters into the game:
Lucy (Lucyna Kushinada)—Spectro Hybrid DPS. She uses her iconic monowire weapon for high-speed, precision combat. Think of her as a "scalpel" on the battlefield—tactical, agile, and deadly.
Rebecca—Havoc Support. She's equipped with dual pistols and brings pure chaos with explosive burst damage and wild movement. She's the "shotgun" to Lucy's precision strikes!
Whether you're a Cyberpunk fan or just love unique character designs, this collab is going to be legendary.
Version 3.5 - Return to Huanglong
Expected Characters:
Yangyang SP—The first-ever SP character in Wuthering Waves! Ever since she wrote about watching flowers together next year, it feels like this moment has finally arrived. As the game's first SP-tier character, she's bound to shake up the meta significantly.
White-Robed Sword Immortal—Glacio Support, mentioned early on by Buling. Rumored to be Qiu Yuan's colleague, representing the "Jianghu Dream" aesthetic.
Version 3.6 - Welcome to Mengzhou!
Expected Characters:
Hsin (The Moon Fairy)—The True Sentinel! She's heavily connected to the Moon-Chasing Festival and is expected to be a Glacio Purifier. Remember the first Moon-Chasing Festival gave us Shorekeeper for free? Veterans are hyped to see what Hsin brings!
5-Star Male DPS—Element TBC, but he'll banner alongside Hsin.
Version 3.7
Expected Characters:
Glacio Hybrid DPS character—With both sustained damage and support capabilities. Details are scarce, but based on the pattern, this could be another strong Ice element addition to the roster.

Must-Pull Recommendations
Priority Characters
Mornye (v3.0) - Universal support who enables multiple team compositions
Aemeath (v3.1) - Especially if you have Mornye. They're designed to work together!
Sigrika (v3.2) – Aero Gauntlet DPS. Pull if you need an Echo Skill-focused carry or run Qiuyuan. Skip if saving for Anniversary.
Dania (v3.3) – Fusion Rectifier support. Mandatory if you own Aemeath (v3.1); fixes her rotation issues. Skip otherwise.
Hiyuki (v3.3) – Glacio Broadblade DPS. First premium ice carry since Carlotta; Anniversary-tier value. Pull for Glacio meta.
Lucy (v3.4) – Spectro DPS from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collab. Limited unit—no reruns. Pull for collection permanence.
Xinyue Fox (v3.5) – Mengzhou's Sentinel Resonator. New region cornerstone; high long-term value.
Yangyang SP (v3.5) – First SP rarity. Potential meta-defining upgrade over standard Yangyang. Monitor closely.
Hsin - Sentinel Resonator with potentially unique mechanics
Resource Planning 101
Here's the reality: as a F2P or low-spender, you can't get everyone. Here's how to maximize your pulls:
Monthly Income: On average, expect about 30-40 pulls per version update from events, dailies, and exploration.
Save Smartly: If you want a character three versions away, start saving now.
Reruns Happen: Missing a character isn't the end of the world. Most limited characters return within 4-6 months.
Weapons Can Wait: Characters > Weapons, always. A character with a 4-star weapon beats no character at all.
Game top ups are up to 50% off for a limited time—log in to BuffHub now to grab the deals!
Pro Tip: Don't pull just because a character looks cool (okay, maybe sometimes). Think about your roster needs. Are you lacking DPS? Healers? Specific elements for certain content? Pull strategically!
Understanding Rerun Patterns
Wuthering Waves typically reruns characters every 3-4 versions. Watch for:
Characters who haven't appeared in 4+ versions
Anniversary periods (expect popular character reruns)
Story relevance (characters tied to ongoing story arcs often rerun)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:I already have a strong Aero team with Jiyan. Is Sigrika still worth pulling?▼
A:Yes—Sigrika isn't just another Aero DPS; she's an Echo Skill specialist who opens up entirely new build paths. While Jiyan focuses on Heavy Attack rotations, Sigrika is a Normal Attack-focused Main DPS who converts Echo Skill DMG bonuses into Basic Attack DMG through her unique kit mechanics . Even if you have Qiuyuan, Sigrika’s party-wide utility and Solsworn mechanics offer distinct playstyle value. She rewards players who’ve mastered Echo optimization and rotation-heavy strategies, making her a natural evolution for technical players rather than a direct replacement
Q: How does Sigrika actually work in combat? Is she complicated? ▼
A:She’s technical but rewarding. Sigrika’s kit revolves around Semanthe Blessing stacks that accumulate when teammates use Echo Skills. At 6 stacks, she enters an enhanced state with massive Aero DMG and Echo Skill DMG bonuses, plus crowd control via suction effects. Her C2 (Sequence 2) is a major power spike that significantly improves her combat flow and output. Unlike simple button-mashers, she demands precise timing between Echo Skill casts and Normal Attack sequences to maximize her conversion mechanics
Q:Is Lucilla worth pulling if I don't have a Glacio team yet? ▼
A:Absolutely—she’s the foundation piece. As a 5-star Glacio Pistols Sub-DPS, Lucilla provides sustained off-field damage, Frost Build-up (冷凝层积) amplification, and team utility that’s been missing from most ice compositions. Even without an established Glacio roster, she’s future-proofed for the upcoming Hiyuki (3.3 Glacio Main DPS) and pairs perfectly with existing units like Carlotta. Think of her as the Glacio equivalent of Mortefi—enabling your Main DPS while dealing significant off-field damage.
Q:Which characters are featured in the WuWa v3.2 banners?▼
A:Version 3.2 "Gates of Startorch Academy" drops March 19, 2026. Phase 1 (Mar 19 – Apr 9): Sigrika (5-star Aero Gauntlets Main DPS) + Qiuyuan rerun Phase 2 (Apr 9 – Apr 30): Lucilla (5-star Glacio Pistols Sub-DPS) + triple rerun featuring Phoebe, Lynae, and Zani . Note: The Phase 2 lineup is particularly valuable for players needing Spectro support (Phoebe) or Havoc utility (Zani).
Q:Should I prioritize Sigrika’s signature weapon or save for characters? ▼
A:Characters first, always. Sigrika’s Solsworn Ciphers (or Galeforce Knuckle) optimizes her Echo Skill DMG, but 4-star alternatives like Abyss Surges work perfectly for clearing all content. With the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collab (Lucy & Rebecca) confirmed for v3.4 and the Anniversary approaching in v3.3, F2P players should hoard Astrites. Only pull weapon banners if you’ve secured both Sigrika and Lucilla, and still have reserves for the limited collab units.
Q:Are the Cyberpunk collab characters (Lucy & Rebecca) still worth saving Astrites for? ▼
A:100% yes! They’re still locked to v3.4 and are limited by licensing, so their reruns are extremely rare. Most collab Resonators only return once or twice, if ever. If you want them, keep saving for v3.4—don’t spend Astrites on v3.2 weapons or reruns if the collab is your top priority. This is likely your best chance for a long time.
🌟 Final Thoughts
What an amazing journey Wuthering Waves has planned for us this year! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the cool characters—from the lovely Mornye to the iconic faces of the Cyberpunk crossover—but there’s truly a perfect Resonator for every type of player.
A Friendly Reminder: Take your time and play at your own pace. Pull for the characters you genuinely enjoy playing, and don't let the 'meta' stress you out—reruns will always come back around. We’ll keep you posted on every update and leak right here. Happy adventuring, Rovers, and may all your wishes turn gold!
