WuWa 3.6 Banners: Qingxiao, Jingran & Reruns

Wuthering Waves 3.6 is shaping up to be one of the most crowded banner patches of the year. The full lineup is now confirmed: two new 5-star Resonators split across two phases, plus three returning 5-stars that will force most players to make hard choices about their Astrite.

If you follow Wuthering Waves news closely, you already know the pattern. Version 3.6 arrives on 2026-08-19 at 11:00 PM ET (UTC-4) after a seven-hour maintenance window, and the banner schedule is packed from day one. Here is the confirmed overview and the pull-planning details that matter before you spend.

At a Glance

• Version 3.6 release: 2026-08-19 at 11:00 PM ET (UTC-4), following a 7-hour maintenance
• Phase 1 new 5-star: Qingxiao (Aero, Sword)
• Phase 1 rerun 5-star: Denia
• Phase 1 4-star rate-ups: Yangyang, Baizhi, Sanhua
• Phase 2 new 5-star: Jingran (Fusion, Broadblade)
• Phase 2 rerun 5-stars: Hiyuki, Mornye
• Phase 2 4-star rate-ups: Mortefi, Aalto, Yuanwu
• Jingran debut date: 2026-09-10, per EarlyGG's banner schedule coverage

Phase 1: Qingxiao and Denia

Qingxiao is the confirmed new Phase 1 5-star, and her design leans hard into the xianxia "sword immortal" fantasy. Flowing blue hair, cloud-and-swirl hair ornaments, and layered blue-gold-white robes with dangling tassels place her firmly in the prosperous Mengzhou and inner Huanglong aesthetic.

She is an Aero unit who wields a Sword, which gives her a clear identity in team building. Aero teams have been waiting for a headline carry, and Qingxiao is positioned as exactly that.

The Phase 1 banner pairs her with Denia, a rerun that gives the first half extra value for players who missed her original run. The 4-star rate-ups are Yangyang, Baizhi, and Sanhua — a support-heavy pool that is genuinely useful for newer accounts.

Rate-up	Yangyang	4-Star	Aero	Sword

Rate-up	Sanhua	4-Star	Glacio	Sword

Phase 2: Jingran, Hiyuki, and Mornye

Jingran is the confirmed new Phase 2 5-star, and his design reads as a hooded assassin and tomb raider. Black hair with a prominent white streak, a single braid, heterochromia, and a dark hooded outfit with teal accents give him a rugged wuxia martial artist look.

He is a Fusion unit who uses a Broadblade, which puts him in direct competition with existing Fusion carries for team slots. His banner runs alongside two rerun 5-stars: Hiyuki and Mornye.

The Phase 2 4-star rate-ups are Mortefi, Aalto, and Yuanwu. That is a more offensive pool than Phase 1, which fits the second half's overall identity.

The Full 3.6 Rerun Lineup

The rerun structure is now clear. Denia returns in Phase 1, while Hiyuki and Mornye return in Phase 2. That means the complete 5-star banner lineup is Qingxiao + Denia in the first half, then Jingran + Hiyuki + Mornye in the second half.

This makes Version 3.6 unusually strong for both new-character collectors and players who missed earlier banners. It also means the patch is a trap for anyone who pulls impulsively. Phase 1 is a cleaner two-way decision. Phase 2 asks you to compare a new unit against two rerun targets at once.

Should You Pull?

Pull for Qingxiao if…

• You need an Aero carry and your account has no strong Aero DPS
• You prefer Sword users and want a unit that fits the Mengzhou aesthetic
• You are a collector who wants the new Phase 1 5-star on day one

Pull for Denia if…

• You missed her original banner and she fills a gap in your roster
• You want to pull on Phase 1 but Qingxiao is not your priority

Pull for Jingran if…

• You want a Fusion Broadblade user and your Fusion teams need a refresh
• You like the assassin and tomb raider design direction
• You are willing to skip the Phase 2 reruns to guarantee him

Pull for Hiyuki or Mornye if…

• You already have a Fusion carry and do not need Jingran
• You missed either rerun and they are higher value for your account than a new unit

Skip or save if…

• Your Astrite reserves cannot cover a full pity cycle on any single target
• You are waiting for Version 3.7, which EarlyGG has already covered in its WuWa 3.7 banners guide

Decision Guide

Player type	Recommended focus
New player	Phase 1 for Qingxiao or Denia; the 4-star pool is support-friendly
Midgame	Pick one phase and commit; do not split pulls across both
Low-spend	Phase 1 if you need a carry; Phase 2 only if Jingran fits your teams
Collector	Both phases, but budget for the worst case
F2P	Choose a single target and save the rest for 3.7

Who Benefits Most

Players who started during the 3.x cycle benefit most from Phase 1. Qingxiao gives them a new headline carry, and the Yangyang, Baizhi, and Sanhua rate-ups fill out support slots that new accounts often lack.

Veterans with established Fusion teams should look at Phase 2 more carefully. Jingran is a new option, but Hiyuki and Mornye may be the smarter pick if they complete a team you already own. For a deeper comparison, EarlyGG's Qingxiao vs Jingran pull analysis breaks down the team-role question.

Collectors and completionists will want both phases, but the honest advice is the same as always: do not pull on a banner you cannot afford to reach pity on.

Preparation Checklist

• Confirm your current Astrite and Lunite totals before 2026-08-19
• Decide on one primary target per phase, not two
• Check whether you already own Denia, Hiyuki, or Mornye
• Review your Aero and Fusion team options before committing
• Redeem any active 3.6 livestream codes before they expire
• Track the Phase 2 start date; Jingran debuts 2026-09-10

If you need the exact server times and maintenance window, EarlyGG's WuWa 3.6 release date and Qingxiao banner times has the full schedule. For the livestream recap and codes, see the 3.6 livestream summary.

Community Signals

Official 3.6 materials confirm the banner lineup and the two new Resonators. The livestream also covered performance improvements and a set of redeem codes, which tend to expire quickly. No official kit numbers, multipliers, or exact banner start times for Phase 2 beyond Jingran's 2026-09-10 debut have been published at the time of writing.

Any additional kit or team-role details circulating before release should be treated as Unconfirmed — subject to change.

Conclusion

Version 3.6 is a stacked patch: Qingxiao and Denia in Phase 1, then Jingran, Hiyuki, and Mornye in Phase 2. The smart play is to pick the phase that fits your account, check your Astrite reserves, and commit to a single target rather than spreading pulls thin. Plan before 2026-08-19, and keep an eye on the Phase 2 start for Jingran.
