Wuthering Waves Banner Schedule: Current and Next (2026)

Which characters are on the Wuthering Waves banner right now? This guide tracks the current Wuthering Waves banner schedule and the next banner after it, so you can plan your pulls with zero guesswork.

As of October 1, 2026, the game is in Version 3.7, “Prism’s Illusion, Heart’s Illumination.” Phase 1 went live on September 30 with the new 5-star Hsin, and Phase 2 follows around October 22 with the new 5-star Suoming. Both phases also carry reruns, so this is one of the most packed patches of the year. Let’s break it down.

Current Banner: Version 3.7 Phase 1 (September 30 to October 22, 2026)

The Phase 1 banners run from September 30 to October 22, 2026. Three limited 5-star characters are featured at once, each with its own Convene.

Character	Status	Attribute	Weapon	Signature Weapon
Hsin	New	Electro	Rectifier	Blooming Jadehaven
Chisa	Rerun	Havoc	Broadblade	Kumokiri
Iuno	Rerun	Aero	Gauntlets	Moongazer’s Sigil

Hsin is the new 5-star of the patch, an Electro main DPS who fights with a Rectifier. Chisa returns with her Havoc Broadblade kit, and Iuno returns as the Aero Gauntlet option. The rate-up 4-star characters on these banners are Buling (Electro), Taoqi (Havoc), and Youhu (Glacio).

The Phase 1 weapon banner, Absolute Pulsation, features the three signature weapons: Blooming Jadehaven for Hsin, Kumokiri for Chisa, and Moongazer’s Sigil for Iuno. Reported 4-star weapons on the banner are Fusion Accretion (Rectifier), Commando of Conviction (Sword), and Dauntless Evernight (Broadblade).

Next Banner: Version 3.7 Phase 2 (October 22 to ~November 10, 2026)

Phase 2 starts around October 22, 2026, when Phase 1 ends. The headliner is Suoming, a new 5-star Electro Sword character who fills a support role. Two reruns sit beside her.

Character	Status	Attribute	Weapon	Signature Weapon
Suoming	New	Electro	Sword	Unspoken Rue
Lynae	Rerun	Spectro	Pistols	Spectrum Blaster
Lucilla	Rerun	Glacio	Rectifier	Freeze Frame

Suoming is the second new Electro Resonator of Version 3.7, so both phases of this patch lean Electro. Lynae returns as the Spectro Pistol option from Startorch Academy, and Lucilla returns with her Glacio Rectifier kit. The Phase 2 weapon banner features Unspoken Rue, Spectrum Blaster, and Freeze Frame.

The rate-up 4-stars for Phase 2 are not fully confirmed yet. Early reports point to Lumi, Danjin, and Chixia, but verify in game on day one.

How the Pity System Works in Wuthering Waves

Pity guarantees you a 5-star within a set number of pulls, so your Tides always count toward something. Here is the full picture.

Astrite to USD calculator converts Wuthering Waves Astrite to real dollars, useful for valuing your convene pulls.

Base 5-star rate: The drop rate for a 5-star on limited character banners is 0.8 percent.
Hard pity: You are guaranteed a 5-star within 80 pulls. If you pull 79 times with no 5-star, the 80th pull gives you one.
The 50/50: When that guaranteed 5-star drops, it has a 50 percent chance of being the featured character. If you lose the 50/50 and get a standard 5-star instead, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured one.
Weapon banners: There is no 50/50 on weapon Convenes. The 5-star weapon you pull is always the featured signature weapon. That makes weapon banners much kinder than character banners.
Soft pity: Many players report that 5-star rates climb well before pull 80, so most 5-stars land in the 60 to 79 pull range. Treat this as community-observed, not official.

Free Pulls and Events During Version 3.7

The updated Version 3.7 hands out free pulls through login events, so even free-to-play players can stretch toward a guarantee. Reports from banner value guides point to 5 Radiant Tides plus 5 Lustrous Tides early in the version, and another 10 Radiant Tides from a Phase 2 login event. Check your in-game mail to confirm.

One more reported bonus: the Moonlit Path event is said to let players pick one of Carlotta, Shorekeeper, or Phoebe. It can fill a roster hole for older accounts, but it comes from banner value guides rather than an official post, so verify it in game first.

How Often Do Wuthering Waves Banners Change?

Wuthering Waves versions run about six weeks, split into two banner phases of roughly three weeks each. When a version ends, maintenance flips the game and the next Phase 1 banners go live the same day.

The previous version, 3.6, introduced new characters Qingxiao and Jingran alongside reruns for Denia, Hiyuki, and Mornye. Version 3.7 keeps the same rhythm. Expect Version 3.8 around mid-November 2026, with first details in a preview broadcast a few days before launch.

Maintenance days also bring redeem codes from the version preview broadcast. Enter them fast, since broadcast codes expire quickly. Our Wuthering Waves codes page tracks every active code.
