Version 3.8 of Wuthering Waves, Lilies in a Dying Dream, is the Lily update. Sigrika and Qiuyuan share the first-phase banners, and 600 Astrite is waiting in your mail.
Kuro Games scheduled the Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 maintenance for 4am to 11am UTC+8 on Thursday 12 November. That is 7am to 2pm AEDT, by our conversion. The 3.8 patch notes from Kuro list everything in the version, and the trailer is on YouTube.
The new 5-Star Resonator is Lily, Spectro with Pistols. The notes give her combat roles as Support and Healer, Traction, and DMG Amplification. You get her from the Bloom of Yesterday’s Dreamsoil Featured Resonator Convene. The new 5-Star weapon is Lullaby, also Pistols, from the Lullaby Featured Weapon Convene. The version overview image from Kuro puts the banner for Lily in the first phase.
Two more Resonator banners share that first phase, according to the Phase 1 convene notice. When the Runes Glitter boosts Sigrika, and Wanderer Knows No Far and Near boosts Qiuyuan. Youhu, Aalto and Yangyang are the boosted 4-Stars on both. The weapon banners feature Solsworn Ciphers and Emerald Sentence. All four run from the 3.8 update until 3 December at 9:59am, server time.
You need Union Level 5 to pull, or to have finished the First Resonance combat trial. Every 10 pulls guarantees at least one 4-Star or higher. That guarantee count is shared across all Featured Resonator Convenes and carries over until you get a 5-Star Resonator. The Wavebands for Sigrika and Qiuyuan are in the Afterglow Coral store, with a limit of 2 each, until their banners end.
Check your mail. Kuro is paying 300 Astrite and 2 Crystal Solvent for the maintenance, plus another 300 Astrite for bug fixes. That makes 600 Astrite in all, if you made a character and unlocked Mail before the maintenance began. You can claim it until the next version update.
The story continues in Main Quest Chapter IV Act V, A Bouquet for Tomorrow, which takes you to a new area, the Train of Souls. 3.8 also adds Blitz Mode and a Calamity Effigy challenge, and the Second Endstate Matrix Cycle ends on 22 December at 3:59am UTC+8.
If you have not updated, the maintenance notice asks for 15 GB free on PC and 13 GB on mobile, and recommends Wi-Fi. On Steam, 3.8 is the version with the new launcher we covered in October.
Wuthering Waves was eighth on Apple’s top-grossing games chart in South Korea when we read it early on Saturday, and 14th in Japan and Taiwan. It is free to play on Steam, iOS and Android. Our last banner guide covered Version 3.7 Phase II.
