Wuthering Waves 3.6 Banner Schedule (July 2026)
Updated on 2026-07-23: community sources now list full Phase 1 / Phase 2 boards (new units + expected reruns). Treat this as pre-livestream data until Kuro confirms on stream.
Phase | New 5-Star | Combat Role | Expected Reruns | Est. Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Qingxiao | Aero Sword main DPS (Tune Stream) | Denia, Mornye | ~Aug 15–Sep 1, 2026 |
Phase 2 | Jingran | Fusion Broadblade main DPS (Heavy Attack + mitigation) | Iuno, Sigrika | ~Sep 2–Sep 21, 2026 |
Full board at a glance
Banner Slot | Status | Why it drains F2P stacks |
|---|---|---|
Qingxiao | New | Patch headliner; Tune Stream Aero carry |
Denia | Rerun | Listed sub-DPS for Qingxiao’s launch team |
Mornye | Rerun | Listed support for Qingxiao; still a broad support pick |
Jingran | New | Fusion Heavy Attack carry with damage mitigation in kit |
Iuno | Rerun | Top Heavy Attack buffer; core partner for Jingran |
Sigrika | Rerun | Aero Echo Skill DPS; due since ~3.2; gains value when Suoming arrives |
Expected Premium Teams for Qingxiao & Jingran
Kuro is putting each new DPS on the same cycle as the partners those kits want.
New DPS | Role Notes | Expected Launch Partners | Flexible Slot |
|---|---|---|---|
Qingxiao | Aero main DPS built around Tune Stream | Denia (sub-DPS), Mornye (support) | Swap Mornye only if you already run a stronger general support |
Jingran | Fusion main DPS focused on Heavy Attack damage; kit also lists damage mitigation | Iuno (Heavy Attack buffer), Shorekeeper (support) | Shorekeeper can rotate to Verina or another general healer |
Pull pressure in plain numbers
1 limited pull = 160 Astrite
Soft pity cluster: ~70 pulls (~11,200 Astrite)
Hard pity: 80 pulls (12,800 Astrite)
Lost 50/50 then hard pity again: up to 160 pulls (25,600 Astrite) for one featured unit
Chase both new DPS and their premium partners and you budget for 4–6 limited 5-stars in one patch. A solid F2P patch haul lands closer to 10,000–18,000 Astrite. If Denia, Mornye, Iuno, or Sigrika are missing, the math stops working.
How to Plan Your Wuthering Waves 3.6 Pulls
Step 1: Count real pulls. Astrite ÷ 160. Add Radiant Tides you already hold. Write the number down before you open Convene.
Step 2: Rank account gaps. Missing Iuno hits Jingran harder than missing Sigrika. Missing Denia / Mornye hits Qingxiao’s premium board harder than a flex support you already own. Use the Wuthering Waves Astrite guide if you need a farming checklist.
Step 3: Pick one lane. Qingxiao lane (Qingxiao → Denia/Mornye) or Jingran lane (Jingran → Iuno). Chase both new DPS plus every rerun and you empty the bank before Phase 2 ends.
Step 4: Hold weapon banners unless you already own the character and sit on spare pity. Character boards eat the stack first.
Step 5: Wait for the 3.6 livestream for official dates, then spend. Leak boards shift; pity does not.
How to Stretch Astrite Before 3.6
Clear both Tower of Adversity cycles in the patch window
Finish new Mengzhou / Huanglong exploration and story on day one of the version
Empty event Astrite tracks before you touch Convene
Convert Astrite to Radiant Tides only when you commit to a banner
If you buy anything, start with the Lunite Subscription, then fill the gap. See Xbox / Lunite value notes for the same economy math across platforms

Banner Value Snapshot (Priority Cheatsheet)
Target | F2P Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Qingxiao | High if you want a new Aero carry | Biggest attraction of the patch if Tune Stream stays central |
Jingran | High if you want Fusion Heavy Attack | Mitigation on a main DPS changes how you build his teams |
Iuno | High for Jingran lane | Strongest listed partner for his Heavy Attack kit |
Denia | Medium–High for Qingxiao lane | Tune Stream sub-DPS value rides with Qingxiao |
Mornye | Medium–High | Safe support investment across more than one board |
Sigrika | Medium (higher if you like Echo Skill comps) | Standalone Aero Echo Skill DPS; Suoming later looks like her dedicated buffer |
FAQ
When does Wuthering Waves 3.6 come out?
Community schedules point to mid-to-late August 2026, with Phase 1 around August 15–20 depending on the 3.5 end date. Kuro has not locked the clock. Use the livestream date as the real trigger.
Who is on the Wuthering Waves 3.6 banner schedule?
Expected Phase 1: Qingxiao (new) with Denia and Mornye reruns. Expected Phase 2: Jingran (new) with Iuno and Sigrika reruns. Jingran’s premium team also points at Shorekeeper as a flexible support, even if she is not the Phase 2 headliner.
Should F2P pull Qingxiao or Jingran?
Pull the DPS that matches a hole on your account. Qingxiao fills Aero / Tune Stream. Jingran fills Fusion Heavy Attack. If you lack Iuno, Jingran’s premium lane costs more. If you lack Denia and Mornye, Qingxiao’s premium lane costs more. Skip the “both new + every rerun” plan unless you already sit on multi-pity savings.
How much Astrite do I need for Wuthering Waves 3.6?
Budget 12,800 Astrite for one hard-pity character, ~22,400 for an average lost-50/50 path, and 25,600 for the double hard-pity worst case. Multiply by how many limited 5-stars you refuse to skip. Pity rules for limited Character Event Convene still carry pull count and guarantee status between banners; confirm on the in-game board when 3.6 goes live. For older pity math examples, see the Cartethyia Lunite & pulls guide.
Will the 3.6 livestream change this schedule?
Yes. Rerun names and exact phase dates can move. Combat roles and team boards in this article come from the latest community package; replace any row the moment the official stream contradicts it.
Conclusion
Wuthering Waves 3.6 Banner Schedule stacks two new main DPS units with the partners those kits want. Chase every name and your F2P stack dies mid-patch. Pick one lane, farm free Astrite first, then bridge the last pity after the livestream confirms your target. Bookmark this page for date and rerun updates.
