I was mid-scroll when the Huanglong banner flipped and six new silhouettes filled the screen. For a beat the roster felt familiar, then everything shifted—the story is about to tighten. You can already tell this season won’t be quiet.
I follow these drops closely, and I’ll walk you through what matters: release timing, who changes the plot, and how to best prepare your Astrite and Wuthering Waves codes before banners land. I use Reddit threads, Kuro Games posts, Twitter/X reveals, and player tests to filter hype from signals, so you don’t waste pulls.
List of All Wuthering Waves New Characters (Version 3.5 – 3.7)
Collectors refresh their wishlists whenever a new patch notes hits; this one is no different.
Below is the official line-up teased for versions 3.5 through 3.7. These characters will rotate into banners, and yes—you’ll want to plan your Astrite spending (hint: check current Wuthering Waves codes and community calendars on Discord and Reddit).
| Character | Expected Release date |
|---|---|
| Yangyang: Xuanling | Version 3.5 |
| Suisui | Version 3.5 |
| Suoming | Version 3.6 |
| Jingran | Version 3.6 |
| Qingxiao | Version 3.7 |
| Hsin | Version 3.7 |
When will the new characters be released?
Short answer: staggered across versions 3.5–3.7. Yangyang: Xuanling and Suisui are queued for 3.5; Suoming and Jingran appear in 3.6; Qingxiao and Hsin arrive in 3.7. Watch Kuro Games’ official channels and the Moyens I/O report timeline for banner windows so you can time your Astrite and free Wuthering Waves codes.
Who is Hsin in Wuthering Waves?
Hsin is one of Huanglong’s seven sentinels and a recurring figure in lore—her playable reveal matters for story and squad-building. Expect a character that shifts narrative stakes and likely influences future events tied to Huanglong.
How can I get Yangyang: Xuanling?
Yangyang Xuanling will appear as an SP (special) version in the 3.5 banner rotation. If you want a shot without emptying your stash, monitor Wuthering Waves codes, early event bundles, and community giveaways on Discord and Twitter/X.
Yangyang: Xuanling
Fans tape Yangyang posters to their monitors; she’s the game’s face and the first free pilot you meet.
You already know Yangyang as the starter character whose kit felt underpowered. This Xuanling edition is the first SP variant in Wuthering Waves, which means reworked mechanics and a likely power spike. If you care about both story presence and playability, she’s now worth reconsidering.
Plan: save some Astrite and redeem any active Wuthering Waves codes before 3.5 hits; SP banners can be tempting, and you’ll want options when the window opens.
Suisui
People post teaser art and try to decode taglines within hours—that’s where Suisui started.
Suisui’s drip marketing—“Fan unfolds — dawn of truth draws near”—has fans speculating Spectro ties. She’s confirmed as Mingting-native, and her aesthetic hints at a reveal in 3.5 alongside Yangyang. Expect a character designed around finesse rather than blunt force.
Suoming
Teasers that reappear in trailers tend to be more than fan service; Suoming showed up briefly and stuck in people’s heads.
Suoming is slated for 3.6. Her heavy red motif suggests Fusion element affinity, and the umbrella in her art raises the question: weapon or prop? I’d expect a hybrid kit that plays with zone control—keep an eye on early playtests and patch notes from Kuro Games.
Jingran
Players often remember the first time a new male character breaks a meta; Jingran could do that.
Jingran—expected in 3.6—is the only male among the six. He’s shown with a spear and a lantern, a silhouette that hints at utility and crowd control. If you prefer spear users, mark his banner and compare early frame data shared by testers on Discord.
Qingxiao
Guards with one-handed swords in art rarely exist just for show; Qingxiao’s design reads like a sentinel on a mountaintop.
Qingxiao arrives in 3.7 and is described as the “Celestia sword who guards the clouded pass.” That phrasing suggests swordsmanship tied to area defense or story beats that protect a location of narrative weight. If you value swordsmen with guard mechanics, add her to your watchlist.
Hsin
Fans have debated sentinel canon for months; Hsin’s in-person reveal answers more than it asks.
Hsin is a sentinel with wolf-like ears and long white hair, and she’s been a recurring presence in lore. Her playable debut in 3.7 is a narrative seam—expect story quests, sentinel lore expansion, and a kit that reflects her status. Hsin feels like a wolf at the prow of a ship, steering both fights and plot direction.
I’ll be tracking community testing on Discord and frame-by-frame breakdowns on Twitter/X and Reddit as banners go live. If you want banner timing and recommended resource allocation, check Kuro Games’ announcements and community-run spreadsheets for win rates and synergy notes.
Which of these six are you saving Astrite for, and who will change how you play Huanglong next season?
