Wuthering Waves 3.8 Banners: Sigrika & Qiuyuan

Wuthering Waves 3.8 Featured Convenes at a Glance

Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 has confirmed its featured convenes, and the headline is a pair of 5-star Resonators: Sigrika on When the Runes Glitter and Qiuyuan on Wanderer Knows No Far and Near. Both banners, plus their matching weapon convenes, run from the Version 3.8 update through 2026-12-03 09:59 server time, according to the official announcement. For the broader patch picture, see our wuthering-waves news hub and the 3.8 release date breakdown.

Banner Lineup

The patch pairs two Resonator banners with two weapon banners. The 4-star Resonator pool is identical on both character banners: Youhu, Aalto, and Yangyang. The 4-star weapon pool is identical on both weapon banners: Cadenza, Celestial Spiral, and Comet Flare.

Element, weapon type, and full kit details for Sigrika and Qiuyuan are not stated in this announcement. What is confirmed: both are exclusive to their respective Featured Resonator Convene banners and will not be available by other means once the events end.

Banner Schedule and Eligibility

All four convenes share the same window: from the Version 3.8 update to 2026-12-03 09:59 server time. EarlyGG's 3.8 coverage confirms the update launches on 2026-11-12, so that is the expected start date for these banners.

Eligibility is consistent across the board. You need one of the following:

• Reach Union Level 5.
• Complete the combat trial in First Resonance.
• Access the Main Quest Fast Track Event and proceed with the Main Quest until a certain point.

During the event, all boosted Resonators are also available as Trial Resonators in Ascendant Aces. Completing their challenges yields rewards, which is a low-cost way to test Sigrika, Qiuyuan, and the 4-stars before spending currency.

Pity, Currency, and Pull Planning

The Resonator banners use Radiant Tide; the weapon banners use Forging Tide. Each convene guarantees at least one 4-star or higher rarity Resonator or Weapon every 10 attempts.

The pity count is shared within each banner type. For Featured Resonator Convene events, the guarantee count is shared across all such banners and carries over until a 5-star Resonator is obtained. For Featured Weapon Convene events, the same logic applies until a 5-star Weapon is obtained. On the weapon side, the 5-star you convene is guaranteed to be the featured weapon: Solsworn Ciphers on its banner, Emerald Sentence on its banner.

For F2P and low-spend Rovers, the practical split is straightforward: Radiant Tide and Forging Tide are separate pools, so decide early whether you are chasing a Resonator, a weapon, or neither. Shared pity means pulls on one Featured Resonator Convene are not wasted if you switch to the other before hitting a 5-star. The same carryover applies between the two weapon banners.

Sigrika and Qiuyuan each have a Waveband available in the Afterglow Coral Store during the event, limited to 2 purchases. Those Wavebands are removed when the convene ends, so anyone planning to vertically invest should budget coral before 2026-12-03 09:59 server time.

Veteran's Take: Shared Pity and Store-Locked Wavebands

This is the cleanest kind of 3.8 banner structure: two Resonator convenes running side by side with a shared guarantee count, plus two weapon convenes doing the same. For veterans who have tracked Wuthering Waves since the 3.0 Lahai-Roi expansion, it is a reminder that Kuro Games has kept the Featured Convene system predictable even as the patch cadence has accelerated. The 3.0 banner and priority guide laid out similar currency-splitting decisions, and the logic has not changed here.

The sharper detail is the Waveband store limit. Two purchases per featured Resonator is a hard cap, and the removal date is tied to the banner end rather than a later shop refresh. If you are the type of player who plans S-ranks around breakpoints, that deadline matters more than the pull count itself.

What to Watch Before 2026-12-03

Version 3.8 is titled Lilies in a Dying Dream and continues Chapter IV Act V: A Bouquet for Tomorrow, with the patch also setting the stage for Version 4.0. Our 3.8 Lily debut and event rundown covers the maintenance window and the rest of the patch slate. If you are still weighing the 3.8 headliners against the new 5-star Lily, that context is worth reading before you commit Radiant Tide.

Conclusion

The 3.8 featured convenes are confirmed for 2026-11-12 through 2026-12-03 09:59 server time. Sigrika and Qiuyuan headline the Resonator side with shared pity and store-limited Wavebands; Solsworn Ciphers and Emerald Sentence headline the weapon side with guaranteed featured 5-stars. Test the trial Resonators in Ascendant Aces first, then spend with the end date in view.
