Wuthering Waves 3.8 Banners: Lily Leaks, Rerun Predictions, and Expected Release Date

The gacha banner for version 3.8 of Howling Tsunami has not yet been officially announced, but third-party leaks unanimously suggest that Lily will appear in version 3.8, described as a new five-star Spectral Resonator wielding a pistol. There are also rumors that an unnamed male Resonator will appear in a later version.

However, no promotional content for version 3.8 has been officially confirmed yet, so the following information is still preliminary.

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Banner Overview

This table summarizes current Wuthering Waves 3.8 banner leaks, not an official banner schedule. The characters, phases, rarities, and rerun combinations can change before the Version 3.8 preview.

Which Wuthering Waves 3.8 Details Are Confirmed?

None of the reported Version 3.8 characters or reruns have been officially confirmed at the time of writing.

The available information falls into three separate confidence levels:

The distinction matters because repeated reporting does not automatically turn leaked information into an official announcement. Lily’s identity appears more consistently than the rerun lineup, but her attributes and role still require confirmation.

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Phase 1 Banner: Lily

Lily is currently the most consistently reported member of the Wuthering Waves 3.8 new characters lineup. Most predictions place her in Phase 1.

If that banner order is correct, the Lily release date would be the same day Version 3.8 launches—currently estimated around November 10–12, 2026. This timing remains unconfirmed because the official phase schedule has not been released.

Lily Rarity, Attribute, and Weapon Leaks

Current reports describe Lily as follows:

The reported Spectro and Pistols combination appears across multiple articles, but none of the reviewed sources provides an official character announcement or a complete original datamine.

These details should therefore be treated as Lily kit leaks, not finalized character information.

Is Lily a Healer or Support?

Lily is frequently described as a potential healer or support, but no reliable skill descriptions or multipliers are currently available.

The theory is connected to the Flower of Tinged Yearning Sonata Effect associated with Version 3.7 content. Reported effects include healing, teamwide ATK support, and an interaction involving Unison mechanics.

However, the existence of a suitable Echo set does not prove that Lily is designed to use it. The set could support another character, or Lily’s final abilities could emphasize a different role.

Until her official kit is published, the accurate description is:

Lily is rumored to have healing or Unison support potential, but her actual role has not been confirmed.

Could Lily Work With Hsin or Suoming?

Lily could become relevant to Hsin or Suoming teams if her official kit provides meaningful Unison-related support.

For that synergy to be valuable, her final abilities would need to offer at least one of the following:

• Reliable Unison generation
• Buffs triggered by Unison actions
• Healing without excessive field time
• Teamwide damage or ATK support
• Rotation benefits that existing sustain characters cannot provide
• Without those mechanics, pairing Lily with Hsin or Suoming would be based mainly on leak speculation rather than demonstrated team performance.
• Players building either character should wait for Lily’s official kit, rotation, and buff conditions before deciding that she is a required teammate.

Is Lily Worth Pulling for Unison Teams?

Lily is not yet a confirmed must-pull for Unison teams.

She becomes a stronger pull candidate if her final kit combines sustain with a meaningful Unison benefit. A character who fills both roles could free one team slot and provide more value than a conventional healer.

Consider pulling Lily if her official kit confirms that she:

• Consistently heals the active team
• Improves Unison generation or damage
• Works with several Unison-focused characters
• Requires limited field time
• Offers useful buffs outside one specific composition
• Waiting is more reasonable if:
• Her Unison interaction is minor or highly restrictive
• Your account already has enough sustain options
• She only improves one team by a small margin
• You are saving for a preferred rerun character
• Version 4.0 characters are a higher priority
• The key decision is not whether Lily is called a healer. It is whether her confirmed kit solves a real roster problem more efficiently than your existing supports.

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Phase 2 Banner

Current reports also mention a new male Resonator for the WuWa 3.8 banners, usually placing him in Phase 2.

Some sources describe him as a new 4-star character. However, there is no consistent information about his:

• Name
• Attribute
• Weapon type
• Combat role
• Character design
• Story involvement
• Featured banner placement
• Because these basic details are still missing, the Phase 2 character rumor has much lower confidence than the Lily reports.
• Players should also avoid building pity solely to obtain a rumored 4-star. Featured Resonator Convenes do not guarantee that a specific featured 4-star will appear within a fixed number of pulls.

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Rerun Predictions

The rerun portion of the Wuthering Waves 3.8 banner schedule is the least reliable part of the current leaks.

Sigrika

Sigrika is frequently listed as a possible Phase 1 rerun alongside Lily. Her banner absence makes the prediction plausible, but there is no official evidence connecting her to Version 3.8.

Hiyuki

Hiyuki also appears in Phase 1 predictions, partly because of rumors surrounding a new outfit.

A cosmetic release does not confirm a character banner. Hiyuki also reportedly reran in Version 3.6, so another rerun in Version 3.8 would arrive relatively soon.

Treat the Hiyuki skin rumor and the Hiyuki rerun rumor as two separate claims.

Xiangli Yao

Xiangli Yao appears repeatedly in Phase 2 predictions. However, his previous special rerun makes banner timing difficult to estimate from schedule gaps alone.

Zhezhi or Xiao Yan

The largest conflict concerns the second Phase 2 rerun:

• Some reports list Zhezhi.
• Another source lists Xiao Yan.
• Neither prediction has strong supporting evidence.
• This disagreement indicates that the Phase 2 rerun lineup is still unstable. Players saving for any of these characters should wait for the official Version 3.8 program before converting Astrite into banner-specific plans.

Pull in Version 3.8 If

• Lily’s confirmed kit fills a sustain or support gap.
• Her Unison mechanics substantially improve one of your main teams.
• A confirmed rerun features one of your priority characters.
• You can reach your target without spending your entire Version 4.0 reserve.
• Lily or another featured character is a personal favorite.

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Pull Budget

The following estimates use the current standard Featured Resonator Convene rules:

• One pull costs 160 Astrite when fully converted.
• A 5-star is guaranteed within 80 pulls.
• The first 5-star has a 50% chance to be the featured Resonator.
• After losing the 50/50, the next 5-star is guaranteed to be featured.
• Featured Resonator pity and guarantee status carry between regular Featured Resonator Convenes.
• Character and weapon banners use separate pity counters.

These are maximum reserves, not average costs. The calculations assume zero existing pity and that every pull is funded through Astrite conversion.

Owned Radiant Tides, Forging Tides, existing pity, featured guarantee status, and early 5-star results will reduce the amount required.

Before pulling, record:

1. Your current Featured Resonator pity.
2. Whether your next 5-star is guaranteed.
3. Your available Astrite and Radiant Tides.
4. Whether you also want a signature weapon.
5. The amount reserved for Version 4.0.

How to Prepare for the Wuthering Waves 3.8 Banners

• Wait for the official banner preview before prefarming character-specific materials.
• Keep character and weapon pity calculations separate.
• Do not treat a rumored skin as proof of a rerun.
• Avoid chasing the unnamed male Resonator until his rarity and banner placement are confirmed.
• Reserve Astrite for your highest-priority target before budgeting for weapons.
• Recheck the official Convene rules when Version 3.8 launches.
• Review the Version 4.0 preview before using any Astrite left after your main target.

If you don't have enough Star Stones to draw, you can use UU TOP to replenish your Roaring Tsunami Moon Stones after checking your current pity system and setting a specific budget.
