Wuthering Waves 3.7 Banners: Hsin, Suoming & Reruns Guide
Version 3.7 of Wuthering Waves, titled “Prism’s Illusion, Heart’s Illumination,” arrives on September 30, 2026, and brings two new 5-star Resonators along with a set of popular reruns. The banner schedule follows the usual two-phase structure, giving players clear windows to plan their Astrite spending. This guide focuses specifically on the banners—who is coming, when they appear, what makes the new characters interesting, and how the reruns fit into current team building.
Version 3.7 Banner Schedule Overview
The update launches on September 30 at 11:00 AM UTC+8. Phase 1 banners go live at the same time. Phase 2 begins after the first set ends, following the standard three-week rotation.
Phase 1 (starts September 30)
- New 5-star: Hsin (Electro, Rectifier)
- Rerun 5-stars: Iuno and Chisa
- 4-star rate-ups: Youhu, Taoqi, Buling
Phase 2
- New 5-star: Suoming (Electro, Sword)
- Rerun 5-stars: Lynae and Lucilla
- 4-star rate-ups: Lumi, Danjin, Chixia
Both phases feature dual 5-star rate-ups, a structure Kuro Games has used regularly in recent versions. This gives players more flexibility but also means the pity system is shared across the featured 5-stars on each banner.
Hsin – Phase 1 Featured Resonator
Hsin is the first new character of Version 3.7 and the clear centerpiece of Phase 1. She is a 5-star Electro Resonator who uses a Rectifier and holds the unique distinction of being the first playable Sentinel in the game. Known as the Moonfox Sentinel of Mengzhou, she arrives with strong narrative weight as the story concludes the current Xuanfang arc.
In combat she is positioned as an Electro Flare-focused DPS. Early information points to a kit built around sustained damage, field control, and resonance effects that reward proper team coordination. Her signature weapon, Blooming Jadehaven, is a 5-star Rectifier designed to amplify her strengths. Players who already invest heavily in Electro teams or who want a new main DPS option will find Hsin particularly appealing.
Because she is both a new character and the first Sentinel, demand is expected to be high. Players planning to pull for her should prepare enough Astrite for a full pity cycle if they want to secure her early in the phase.
Suoming – Phase 2 Featured Resonator
Suoming arrives in the second half of the version. She is also a 5-star Electro Resonator, but she wields a Sword instead of a Rectifier. This already gives her a different combat feel from Hsin and opens more team-building possibilities within the same attribute.
Current positioning describes her as more flexible than a pure main DPS. She appears capable of filling either a sub-DPS or a support-oriented role depending on how she is built and which teammates she is paired with. Her signature weapon is the 5-star Sword Unspoken Rue. Players who pull Hsin in Phase 1 may find Suoming a natural partner, while those who skip the first banner can treat her as a strong standalone Electro option.
The gap between the two new characters gives players time to recover Astrite if they decide they want both.
Rerun Banners Explained
Phase 1 Reruns – Iuno and Chisa
Iuno returns as a versatile Aero unit who can contribute both damage and healing support. She remains a strong choice for players who need a flexible hybrid character. Chisa, a Havoc Resonator, offers a different playstyle and remains popular among players who enjoy her kit. Having both available alongside Hsin gives Phase 1 significant pull value for accounts that missed them previously.
Phase 2 Reruns – Lynae and Lucilla
Lynae (Spectro) and Lucilla (Glacio) round out the version with two more distinct attributes. These reruns help players who are building teams outside of Electro or who simply want to complete their collection. The combination of a new Electro character with two non-Electro reruns makes Phase 2 attractive for accounts that already have solid Electro coverage.
The dual-rerun format continues to be one of the better aspects of recent banners. Instead of a single returning character, players get meaningful choices on both sides of the version.
4-Star Rate-Ups
Each phase also features three 4-star Resonators on rate-up. Phase 1 includes Youhu, Taoqi, and Buling. Phase 2 features Lumi, Danjin, and Chixia. These characters provide additional value for players who are still building their rosters or who need specific supports and sub-DPS options. While most attention will go to the 5-stars, the 4-star rate-ups remain useful for free-to-play and low-spending players looking to strengthen their teams without heavy investment.
Pulling Strategy and Advice
If you want both new characters
This is the most Astrite-intensive path. Aim to secure Hsin early in Phase 1, then save as aggressively as possible for Suoming. The three-week gap between phases helps, but it still requires careful resource management and possibly skipping some event spends.
If you only want one new character
Choose based on your current team needs. Hsin offers a clear main DPS identity and the novelty of being the first Sentinel. Suoming provides more flexibility and may fit existing teams more easily. Look at your current Electro coverage and decide which role you need more.
If you are more interested in the reruns
Phase 1 is stronger for players who want Iuno or Chisa. Phase 2 favors those looking for Lynae or Lucilla. Because the new characters share the banner with the reruns, you still have a chance at the new units even if your main goal is a returning Resonator.
Free-to-play and low-spend considerations
Focus on one Phase rather than trying to cover both. Use the permanent event and exploration content in Version 3.7 to gather as much Astrite as possible before the banners end. The story rewards and new area should provide a solid amount of resources for dedicated players.
How the Banners Fit the Version Theme
Version 3.7 concludes the Xuanfang storyline and introduces the Simulacrum Nexus of Mengzhou. Both Hsin and Suoming are tied to this region and its lore, which makes pulling them feel narratively relevant as well as mechanically useful. The first playable Sentinel in particular carries extra weight for players who have followed the story closely.
The Electro focus of both new characters also aligns with the new Echoes and Sonata Effects arriving in the same update. Players who invest in Hsin or Suoming will have fresh set options to experiment with once the patch goes live.
Final Recommendations
- Prioritize Hsin if you want a new main DPS and the first Sentinel experience.
- Prioritize Suoming if you prefer flexibility or already have strong DPS options.
- Use Phase 1 reruns to fill gaps in Aero or Havoc coverage.
- Use Phase 2 reruns for Spectro or Glacio needs.
- Treat the 4-star rate-ups as welcome bonuses rather than primary targets unless you specifically need those characters.
Version 3.7 offers a clean and well-structured banner schedule. Two distinct new Electro Resonators, meaningful reruns on both sides, and clear phase separation give players room to plan without feeling forced into every banner. Whether you are chasing the new Sentinel, building a more flexible Electro core, or simply catching up on earlier limited characters, the 3.7 banners provide solid options across the entire version window. Prepare your Astrite, decide your priorities, and the September 30 launch will give you a clear path forward.
