Wuthering Waves 3.3 Banner Schedule & New Resonators Revealed!
Unlock the future of Wuthering Waves with the highly anticipated 3.3 update and its exciting new characters, Hiyuki and Denia. Prepare your resources for these powerful Resonators and strategic rerun banners to maximize your anniversary rewards.
Hey everyone! As we're all enjoying the current 3.2 update, I'm already buzzing with excitement for what's coming next in Wuthering Waves. Version 3.3 is just around the corner, and it's shaping up to be a massive one, especially with the game's second anniversary on the horizon. Let me break down everything we know so far about the upcoming banners, new characters, and what you should start preparing for!
First things first, let's talk timing. The 3.2 update dropped on March 19, 2026. Following the usual update cycle of about 41 days, we can expect version 3.3 to arrive around April 30, 2026. Keep in mind this isn't officially confirmed yet, but it's a solid estimate based on past patterns. Mark your calendars, because this update might be packed with anniversary celebrations!
Now, for the main event β the new Resonators! Kuro Games is introducing two brand-new five-star characters, and they both look incredible.
π Hiyuki β The Shrine Maiden (Glacio / Sword)
This is the first new Glacio character we've gotten in a while, and I know many of you have been waiting for one! Hiyuki will be featured in the first phase of the 3.3 banners on a Limited Convene. Her lore title is "A Shrine Maiden," and she wields a sword with Glacio powers. Time to start pre-farming those Glacio materials!

π Denia β The Academic (Fusion / Rectifier)
Arriving in the second phase, Denia brings a different vibe. She's a Fusion attribute user from the Startorch Academy, and her weapon of choice is the Rectifier. Her design has such an aesthetic, scholarly feel to it. While I love the new characters, I have to admit, I'm hoping for more male character variety soon!

But wait, there's more! With the anniversary approaching, we're also getting FOUR rerun banners. This is the perfect chance to grab characters you might have missed.
Rerun Schedule:
-
Phase 1: Mornye & Iuno
-
Phase 2: Chisa & Phrolova
Knowing this schedule ahead of time is a game-changer. You can plan your Astrite savings, decide which new character you want most, and see if any of the reruns are a must-pull for your account. Start saving those resources now!
My Personal Prep Plan & Tips:
-
Resource Check: I'm immediately checking my Astrite and Lustrous Tide stash. Pulling for both new characters and a rerun will be tough!
-
Material Farming: Since Hiyuki is Glacio, I'm starting to farm the necessary upgrade materials from the Sonata Caverns and Troupe Domains. For Denia, it's Fusion materials.
-
Team Synergy: I'm theory-crafting teams. Hiyuki might be a great main DPS for my freeze team, while Denia could slot into an overload comp.
-
Anniversary Hype: Don't forget! Anniversaries usually mean login rewards, free pulls, and special events. Even if you're saving, log in daily for all the free goodies.
This update feels like it's going to be a turning point. Two powerful new Resonators, four popular reruns, and the buzz of a second anniversary β it's a lot to take in, but in the best way possible. The community is already speculating about story quests and anniversary events. What are you most looking forward to in 3.3? Let me know your pulling plans down below! π
