Wuthering Waves Banners: All Current & Next (April 2026)

Wuthering Waves Banners: All Current & Next (April 2026)

I opened Wuthering Waves at dawn and the banner timer was already bleeding into the red. You feel that pinch—that three weeks of Astrites and restraint could evaporate in a single pull. I’ve tracked these rotations long enough to know the wrong decision sticks with you.

I’ll keep this tight: I’ll point out what’s live, what’s next, and where your pulls get the most mileage. You’ll see dates, the tables you care about, and the one quick strategy I use when a new convene drops.

Update day feels like a sprint — Wuthering Waves Banner Schedule

Observation: Each update swaps banners on a strict cadence, so timing is everything.

The banner schedule is a chess clock. Miss a window and that five-star you wanted can vanish for weeks. Below is the compact schedule for 5-star character convenes so you can plan pulls instead of panic.

If you’re hoarding Astrites, redeem any active Wuthering Waves codes and slot those free pulls into the nearest high-value banner. Kuro Games’ livestream for Version 3.3 already confirmed the next faces; I watched the reveal and jotted the dates so you don’t have to.

Seen the 3.2 rolls? — Wuthering Waves Current and Next Banners

Observation: The live phase often bundles three five-star banners, so pick which one matches your roster.

The current 3.2 rotation centers on Lynae, Zani, and Phoebe with Danjin, Taouqi, and Youhu filling the 4-star slots. If you follow tier lists (I track Moyens I/O’s updates and community threads on Reddit), you’ll know how each 5-star fits into high-end comps. Here’s the full breakdown of the active convenes and weapon rotations.

How to get characters and weapons in Wuthering Waves?

Characters and weapons are pulled with Radiant Tides (limited-time), Lustrous Tides (standard), or Astrites (premium free currency). Radiant Tides target limited convenes; Lustrous Tides live on the permanent standard banner. Free event characters still appear now and then via special events announced on Kuro Games’ official channels and the Version 3.3 livestream.

How many pulls are needed to get a 5-star character in Wuthering Waves?

Pity guarantees a 5-star by pull 80. The chance rises in the late 70s and the 80th pull is a hard guarantee. I track pity in a simple spreadsheet so I never waste an accidental double on a standard five-star when aiming for a limited one.

What are the chances of getting a limited-time character or weapon in Wuthering Waves?

After hitting pity at 80 pulls there’s a 50% chance the 5-star is the limited-time character; if you miss that 50% the next limited five-star is guaranteed. Weapons use a targeted pity that guarantees the chosen weapon within 80 pulls without the 50% mechanic.

Livestream teasers confirmed this — Wuthering Waves Upcoming Banners

Observation: Kuro Games’ Version 3.3 stream named the new faces and schedule weeks ahead.

Hiyuki arrives as the new 5-star in Phase 1, joined by Mornye and Iuno. Phase 2 introduces Denia with returning Chisa and Phrolova. I watched the reveal on Twitch and YouTube; the pacing there gives you a practical preview of who fits meta comps or niche builds.

Standard banners sit on the sidelines — Wuthering Waves Standard Banners (Permanent)

Observation: The permanent banner is always available and feeds long-term collection goals.

The permanent Lustrous Tide banner covers most 4-star and many 5-star standards. New players get a Beginner’s Choice guarantee: a selectable 5-star at 80 pulls, and a Novice Convene guarantee at 50 pulls for a random 5-star standard. Weapon permanent convenes use targeted pity—your chosen weapon is guaranteed within 80 pulls.

Characters Weapons
Calcharo Radiance Cleaver (Broadblade)
Encore Laser Shearer (Sword)
Jianxin Phasic Homogenizer (Rectifier)
Lingyang Pulsation Bracer (Gauntlets)
Verina Boson Astrolabe (Rectifier)
Lustrous Razor (Broadblade)
Abyss Surges (Gauntlets)
Static Mist (Pistol)
Cosmic Ripples (Rectifier)
Emerald of Genesis (Sword)

Quick practical note: if your roster is missing a utility 5-star, save for that specific limited convene. If you chase banners for aesthetics or collection, the permanent banner is the safer long game. Pulls are lottery tickets; treat large sessions like a planned purchase, not impulse spending.

Which banner are you risking your Astrites on this patch?
