Banner Phase 1: Galbrena Debut & Lupa Rerun Details

The headline banner for v2.7 features the long-teased Galbrena alongside a rerun of Lupa, letting both veteran and new Rovers consider high-impact team upgrades. Each comes with an associated weapon banner:

| Banner | Start | End | Spotlight 5★ Character | 5★ Weapon |
|——–|——-|—–|————————–|————-|
| Galbrena Debut | 2025-10-08 | 2025-10-30 | Galbrena | Lux & Umbra (Signature) |
| Lupa Rerun | 2025-10-08 | 2025-10-30 | Lupa | Wildfire Mark |

ALT TEXT: Visual suggestion – full banner splash with both featured units side-by-side; descriptive text: "Galbrena and Lupa pose mid-action, highlighting Phase 1 banner event."

Banner Rates & Pull Guidance

SSR (5★) rates: [Not stated in official materials.]
Pity Threshold: Standard WuWa gacha mechanics apply. Rates and soft/hard pity details for Galbrena and Lupa's banners remain unchanged for 2.7.
Currency: Save at least 80 pulls if targeting a guaranteed copy after the 50/50 split, depending on your history.

Should You Pull?

F2P & Budget: If you missed Lupa's first run, this is among the best rerun windows; Galbrena’s kit (details TBA) could shake up both meta and creative teams depending on synergy. Weigh your current roster gaps and pity path progress before splitting resources.
Optimizers: Plan for upcoming Phase 2 or future 2.8 banners. Use EarlyGG’s banner history and roadmap for reference.

Teams & Synergy Tips (Quick Start)

Full kit details will be available at patch launch. Brief guidance below is based on current meta assumptions.

Galbrena is expected to fit into elemental hypercarry comps or act as a versatile flex; theorycraft aligns her with Charged-based enablers.
Lupa remains a reliable DPS/Rover anchor, compatible with both F2P supports and premium buffers.
New/Returning Rovers: If your account lacks a primary carry or you skipped previous meta units, pulling Galbrena or Lupa can instantly boost progression.

For in-depth team-building, see EarlyGG’s Lupa build & echo guide.

Events, Rewards, and Patch-Specific Bonuses

After maintenance concludes, players will receive:

300 Astrite (universal primogem-equivalent, claimable in-game)
2 Crystal Solvents (for high-tier boss drops)

Additional login events or limited tasks often coincide with these major updates, but [no new event specifics are present in official patch 2.7 notes]. Monitor in-game mail and EarlyGG events tracker for flash tasks or time-limited stages post-update.

Preparation Checklist: To-Do Before 2.7 Maintenance

Finish before 2025-10-08 (UTC-4):
– Spend out resin/energy caps and weekly/daily tasks to avoid overflow during 7-hour downtime.
– Clear any lingering event shops or rewards from 2.6, as they may expire with patch transition.
– Pre-farm character materials (esp. for Galbrena/Lupa/weapon ascension) if targeting their banners.
– Prepare your pulls: set pity path, check resource inventory, and review banner histories for value assessment.

Day-1 Patch Priorities

Log in immediately after maintenance ends (refer to your timezone above) to claim all post-maintenance rewards.
Assess Phase 1 banners and refresh your pull priorities.
Check EarlyGG’s coverage for live insights on Galbrena's kit and event guides as they release.

Unconfirmed — Subject to Change

No major leaks or unverified events are referenced in official 2.7 communications. Any rumors found circulating are not substantiated and should not be used for pull planning.

What Comes Next?

Wuthering Waves 2.7 is both a turning point and an opportunity for every active Rover. Top priorities: claim time-limited rewards, review banner and team needs, and use downtime for inventory management. As always, the best decisions come from both patch transparency and a keen eye for what's coming down the gacha road — stay with EarlyGG for immediate updates, detailed builds, and meta shifts as 2.7 unfolds.
