Wuthering Waves Banners (June 2026) All Current and Next Banners

Keeping track of Wuthering Waves banners is one of the most important things you can do as a player. The Convene system is how you get new Resonators and signature weapons, and every three weeks the lineup rotates with new characters, reruns, and limited-time opportunities. Whether you are a day-one veteran or just starting out, knowing exactly which banners are active right now and what is coming next can make or break your pull strategy.

This guide covers every active Wuthering Waves banner in Version 3.2, the upcoming banners for Version 3.3, permanent banners that never go away, and a breakdown of how the pity system actually works. I also included pull strategy tips that most other guides skip entirely. For context on past updates, check out our Wuthering Waves 3.1 Guide covering character schedules and events from March 2026.

Current Wuthering Waves Banners (Version 3.2 Phase 2)

The active Wuthering Waves banners right now are the Version 3.2 Phase 2 character reruns featuring Lynae, Zani, and Phoebe. These banners went live on April 9, 2026 and run until April 30, 2026, giving you a three-week window to pull for any of these returning 5-star Resonators.

Lynae Rerun Banner

Lynae is the featured 5-star Resonator on her rerun banner during Phase 2. She is a Glacio-element character who excels at sustained damage with strong freeze synergy. Her signature weapon is also available on the paired Absolute Pulsation weapon banner.

The rate-up 4-star characters on Lynae’s banner include Danjin, Taoqi, and Youhu. These three have increased pull rates, meaning roughly half of your 4-star pulls will be one of these characters instead of a random 4-star from the general pool.

Zani Rerun Banner

Zani returns as the second featured 5-star in Phase 2. She is a Fusion-element Resonator known for her burst damage potential and strong team compositions centered around quick-swap playstyles. Zani originally debuted earlier in Version 3.x and this is her first rerun.

The same 4-star rate-up characters (Danjin, Taoqi, Youhu) appear across all three Phase 2 character banners. This is standard for WuWa banner structure when multiple reruns run simultaneously, so you are not missing out on specific 4-stars by choosing one banner over another.

Phoebe Rerun Banner

Phoebe rounds out the Phase 2 rerun trio as a Spectro-element Resonator. She brings powerful support capabilities with team-wide buffs and healing, making her one of the most sought-after characters for challenging endgame content like Tower of Adversity and the Hologram boss fights.

All three banners share the same 4-star rate-up pool and the same end date of April 30, 2026. Your pity count is tracked separately per banner type, so pulling on Lynae’s banner does not affect your pity on Zani’s or Phoebe’s banner.

Current Weapon Banners (Absolute Pulsation)

Running alongside the character banners are the Absolute Pulsation weapon banners. Each featured 5-star Resonator has their signature weapon available at an increased rate during Phase 2. These weapons are specifically designed to maximize the potential of their paired character, often providing unique passives that no other weapon can replicate.

Signature Weapons Available Now

The current Absolute Pulsation banners feature the signature weapons for Lynae, Zani, and Phoebe. Each weapon banner includes rate-up 4-star weapons that change with each banner phase. The 5-star weapons on these banners have a base drop rate of 0.8% with a hard pity of 80 pulls, matching the character banner pity system.

One key difference with weapon banners: there is no true 50/50 mechanic. Instead, weapon banners use a 75/25 split, meaning you have a 75% chance of getting the featured weapon when you pull a 5-star. This makes weapon banners slightly more forgiving than character banners for getting the item you want.

Should you pull on weapon banners? Generally, signature weapons provide a noticeable damage increase of roughly 15-25% over the best free-to-play alternatives. However, a new character almost always offers more value than a weapon for an existing one. I recommend prioritizing characters first and only chasing signature weapons if your core team is already built.

Upcoming Wuthering Waves Banners (Version 3.3)

Version 3.3 is the next major update bringing fresh Wuthering Waves banners to the Convene system. Based on official announcements and community-confirmed information, here is what we know about the upcoming banner schedule. Phase 1 kicks off on April 30, 2026, immediately after Version 3.2 Phase 2 ends.

Version 3.3 Phase 1: Hiyuki Debut Banner

The headline of Version 3.3 Phase 1 is the debut of Hiyuki, a brand-new 5-star Resonator making her first appearance in the game. Debut banners are especially important because the featured character will not appear on another banner for several months after their initial run ends. If Hiyuki looks like a character you want, this is your best window to get her.

Phase 1 runs from April 30, 2026 through approximately May 21, 2026. The 4-star rate-up characters for Hiyuki’s banner have not been fully confirmed as of this writing, but expect announcements from Kuro Games in the days leading up to the update.

Based on early information, Hiyuki appears to be an Electro-element damage dealer with mechanics centered around multi-hit combos. Her kit synergizes well with quick-swap team compositions, and early beta testing feedback from the community suggests she could be a strong addition to any roster.

Version 3.3 Phase 2: Denia Debut Banner

Phase 2 of Version 3.3 introduces Denia as another new 5-star Resonator. This phase is expected to begin around May 21, 2026 and run through mid-June 2026. Denia represents the second half of the version update and brings fresh team-building possibilities.

Denia’s element and weapon type have been discussed extensively in the leak community. While official details are still pending full confirmation, community data miners have indicated she may be a Havoc-element support character with strong off-field damage capabilities. If accurate, this would make her the first dedicated Havoc support in the game, filling a role many players have been requesting since launch.

Phase 2 will also include rerun banners for previously released characters, though specific names have not been officially confirmed yet. Based on the banner rotation patterns we have seen throughout Version 3.x, expect at least one or two popular characters from earlier patches to return alongside Denia.

Version 3.3 Weapon Banners

Both Hiyuki and Denia will have their signature weapons featured on Absolute Pulsation banners during their respective phases. If past patterns hold, each new character’s weapon will be available for the duration of their phase, paired with a rerun signature weapon from a previous version.

The 4-star weapon rate-ups on these banners typically include a mix of strong general-use weapons and niche options. For free-to-play players, these 4-star weapons from the banner pool are often some of the best options available without spending premium currency on 5-star signature weapons.

Looking Further Ahead: Version 3.4 Rumors

While information gets less reliable the further out you look, the community has been buzzing about potential Version 3.4 content. The most notable rumor circulating is a possible collaboration with Cyberpunk, potentially bringing characters like Lucy or Rebecca into Wuthering Waves as limited-time banner units.

Collaboration banners in gacha games are typically once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. If the Cyberpunk collab is confirmed, these characters may never return after their initial run. I would strongly recommend saving some Astrite if you have any interest in collab characters, even if you are not normally a spender.

Take all Version 3.4 information with a grain of salt until Kuro Games makes an official announcement. Leaks and data mines can change significantly between initial discovery and final release.

Permanent Wuthering Waves Banners

Beyond the rotating limited banners, Wuthering Waves has several permanent Convene banners that are always available. These banners serve as a safety net for new players and a way to gradually build your roster over time without spending premium currency.

Novice Convene Banner

The Novice Convene is a beginner-exclusive banner that guarantees a 5-star Resonator within 50 pulls. This is the best-value banner in the entire game for new accounts. You can only use special novice currency on it, and once you pull the guaranteed 5-star, the banner permanently closes.

If you just started playing WuWa, your first priority should be completing all 50 pulls on the Novice Convene before touching any other banner. The guaranteed 5-star character you receive is randomly selected from the standard pool, but getting any 5-star this early significantly accelerates your progression through the story and early game content.

Tidal Chorus Banner

The Tidal Chorus banner lets you select a specific 5-star Resonator from the standard pool after accumulating enough pulls. Think of it as a selector banner where patience is rewarded. Every pull on this banner contributes toward a token system, and once you reach the required threshold, you can simply pick the character you want.

The characters available in the Tidal Chorus pool include the original launch 5-stars and some characters added to the standard pool after their limited banner debut ended. This pool gradually expands over time as Kuro Games rotates older limited characters into the permanent roster.

Permanent Resonator and Weapon Banners

The standard Permanent Resonater banner contains all 4-star and 5-star characters that are part of the general pool. Pull rates here follow the same 0.8% base chance for 5-stars with 80-pull hard pity, but there is no rate-up mechanic. Every 5-star and 4-star in the pool has an equal chance of appearing.

The Permanent Weapon banner works the same way for weapons. You can pull standard 5-star and 4-star weapons at any time. For most players, these permanent banners are a currency sink for leftover pulls rather than a primary targeting method, since the limited banners offer much better odds for specific items.

The key distinction between limited and permanent banners comes down to exclusivity. Limited banners feature characters and weapons you cannot get anywhere else during their run. Permanent banners only contain items from the general pool. Always check which pool a character belongs to before deciding where to spend your currency.

How the Banner Pity System Works?

The pity system in Wuthering Waves is the safety net that guarantees you will eventually get a 5-star even if your luck is terrible. Understanding exactly how it works is something the community on Reddit asks about constantly, so let me break it down step by step.

Base Drop Rates and Hard Pity

Every pull on a character banner has a 0.8% base chance of yielding a 5-star Resonator. That sounds low, but the game includes a pity mechanic that guarantees a 5-star within 80 pulls. This means that even with the worst possible luck, you will get a 5-star character no later than your 80th pull on any given banner.

Soft pity kicks in around pull 60, gradually increasing your odds with each subsequent pull. By the time you reach pull 70, your per-pull chance of getting a 5-star is significantly higher than the base 0.8%. Most players report getting their 5-star somewhere between pulls 60 and 75 on average.

The 50/50 Mechanic Explained

Getting a 5-star does not guarantee you get the featured character. When you pull a 5-star on a limited banner, there is a 50% chance it is the featured character and a 50% chance it is a random 5-star from the standard pool. This is the infamous “50/50” that causes so much frustration in the community.

Here is the important part: if you lose the 50/50, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character. This means the absolute worst case for getting a specific featured character is 160 pulls (80 pulls for a lost 50/50, then another 80 for the guaranteed featured). In practice, most players spend between 80 and 120 pulls total.

Pity carries over between banners of the same type. If you did 40 pulls on Lynae’s banner and did not get a 5-star, those 40 pulls carry over to the next limited character banner. Your pity counter does not reset just because a new banner starts. However, pity does NOT carry over between character and weapon banners since they are tracked separately.

Weapon Banner Pity Differences

Weapon banners follow a similar structure but with one major advantage: the 75/25 split instead of 50/50. When you pull a 5-star weapon, you have a 75% chance of getting the featured weapon rather than a 50% chance. Losing still triggers a guarantee on your next 5-star weapon pull, so the worst case is 160 pulls for an absolute guarantee.

In practice, the higher base rate on weapon banners means you will spend significantly fewer pulls on average to get what you want. This is why many experienced players suggest pulling on weapon banners only after your character roster is established.

Wuthering Waves Banner Pull Strategy Tips

One thing most banner guides do not cover is how to actually plan your pulls. After tracking banner cycles and community discussions since launch, here are the strategies that make the biggest difference for both free-to-play and spending players.

For New Players: Prioritize the Starter Banner

If you are new to Wuthering Waves, pull on the Novice Convene banner first. All 50 pulls. Do not touch limited banners until the Novice banner is complete. That guaranteed 5-star will carry you through the entire early game and most of the mid-game story content.

After the Novice banner, look at the current limited banner characters and decide based on your team needs. A damage dealer is usually more impactful early on than a support character because raw damage clears story content faster. Save support pulls for when you start tackling endgame content like the Tower of Adversity.

For F2P Players: Save and Target

Free-to-play players earn roughly 60-80 pulls per patch cycle through daily quests, events, and exploration rewards. That means you can realistically guarantee one featured 5-star per version if you save diligently. The key is skipping banners you are not excited about so you have enough currency when the character you really want arrives.

I recommend keeping a reserve of at least 80 pulls at all times for emergency situations like surprise collaboration banners or characters that suddenly become important due to new endgame content. Spending down to zero between patches is the number one reason F2P players miss characters they want.

Character vs Weapon Priority

Almost always pull for new characters before signature weapons. A new Resonator opens up entirely new team compositions and strategies. A signature weapon only improves a character you already own. The damage increase from a signature weapon is real but not game-changing enough to justify skipping a character you want.

The exception to this rule is if your main team is already complete and you are looking to optimize damage output. At that point, signature weapons become a worthwhile investment, especially on your primary damage dealer where that 15-25% increase matters most in competitive endgame content.

Should You Wait for Reruns?

Most 5-star characters in Wuthering Waves get their first rerun within 3-5 versions of their original debut. If you miss a character, you can reasonably expect them to return within 4-6 months. However, some characters have had longer gaps between reruns, and there is no published schedule from Kuro Games.

My advice: pull for characters you genuinely enjoy playing, not just the ones the community labels as “meta.” The game is balanced well enough that any well-built team can clear most content. A character you find fun to play will keep you engaged far longer than one you pulled only because a tier list said to.

Conclusion

Staying on top of Wuthering Waves banners is the difference between pulling the characters you want and watching them disappear for months. Right now, the Version 3.2 Phase 2 banners featuring Lynae, Zani, and Phoebe are your active targets through April 30, 2026. After that, Version 3.3 brings two brand-new Resonators with Hiyuki and Denia making their debuts.

Plan your currency wisely, understand the pity system before you start pulling, and remember that the 50/50 mechanic can be beaten with patience and smart planning. For more on past updates and character schedules, check out our Wuthering Waves 3.1 Guide. Good luck with your pulls.
