New Resonators and Banners

Hsin (Electro/Rectifier)

Hsin is a Sentinel and guide of Mengzhou's civilization. She fills multiple combat roles: Main Damage Dealer, Coordinated Attack, Resonance Skill DMG, Unison, and Electro Flare. She debuts in the "As Full as Tonight, Forever" Featured Resonator Convene.

Suoming (Electro/Sword)

Suoming, founder of the Ten Seals Covenant, serves as Intendant of the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs. Her combat roles include Concerto Efficiency, Basic Attack DMG, Unison, Electro DMG Amplification, and Resonance Skill DMG Amplification. She arrives via the "Nine Deaths, One Unbent Heart" Featured Resonator Convene.

Both banners are expected to run in phases, but exact phase dates are not stated in official materials. Based on previous patterns, expect Phase 1 to feature one Resonator and Phase 2 the other, but this is Unconfirmed — subject to change.

New Weapons

• Blooming Jadehaven (Rectifier): Hsin's signature weapon, available in the "Blooming Jadehaven" Featured Weapon Convene.
• Unspoken Rue (Sword): Suoming's signature weapon, available in the "Unspoken Rue" Featured Weapon Convene.

Should You Pull?

With two new 5-stars, resource planning is crucial. Hsin appears to be a flexible Electro main DPS with coordinated attack potential, while Suoming leans toward support and amplification. If you need a strong Electro DPS, Hsin is the priority. If you already have a solid DPS but lack Electro support, Suoming may be more valuable.

For F2P players, the patch offers Radiant Tide x5 from the 7-day login event and Radiant Tide x5 from the limited-time login event, totaling 10 free pulls. Additionally, the Gifts of Waking Moon event provides further rewards. Save your Astrite for the banner that best fits your roster.

New Area: Simulacrum Nexus of Mengzhou

The Simulacrum Nexus is a massive new zone that includes Heartscape Labyrinth and six Heart Realms: Heart of Flames, Heart of Frost, Heart of Bloom, Heart of Stillness, Heart of Ruin, and Heart of Appearance. This area is tied to the new Main Quest Chapter IV Act IV, "Simulacrum of the Heart." To unlock it, you must complete the Main Quest Chapter IV Segue "The Nethermancer's Requiem."

Exploration here yields new Echoes, including Formrender, Soulfrayer, Skywatch Lancer, Bloomburst Puppet, Jade Nether Serpent, and one new COST 4 Echo. New Sonata Effects are also introduced: Heart of Sworn Vigil, Flash of Electric Reflection, and Flower of Tinged Yearning. These sets cater to Electro and support-oriented builds.

Quality-of-Life and System Changes

This patch delivers substantial QoL improvements that streamline daily play.

Echo Backpack Stacking

Unequipped, non-upgraded Echoes of the same type, Sonata Effect, and Mainstat will automatically stack into a single item, holding up to 999 Echoes. Locked and discarded Echoes stack separately, with clear markings. This drastically reduces inventory clutter.

Team Management

You can now drag to reorder teams, rename them, and increase team setups to 20. A new 3D display option for teams is available, but it requires sufficient device RAM (iOS >4GB, Android >6GB).

Camera Mode Overhaul

The camera mode receives a major update with new shooting modes (Handheld, Selfie, Drone), reference lines, lens templates, Quick Focus, on-character lighting templates, environmental settings (time, weather, wind), preset frames, and an adjustable Wuthering Waves logo. Global filter settings are also expanded.

Other Notable Changes

• Synthesis: One-Way Conversion allows converting collectible Resonator Ascension materials into Regenerative Pistils.
• Journey Log: Main Quest Replay Mode for Version 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 quests.
• Graphics: Vulkan support extended to more mobile processors, and self-developed frame generation now supports Dimensity 9300/9300+.
• Weekly Activity: Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways adjusted with new Sigils and gameplay.

Pre-Patch To-Dos

• Claim any uncollected rewards from Version 3.6 events.
