Banner Details

Kuro Games has officially confirmed two new characters for the upcoming update. Qingxiao is described as a graceful sword immortal, likely focusing on stylish, high-damage swordplay. Jingran, by contrast, is an edgy assassin whose design suggests fast, hit-and-run tactics or stealth-based mechanics.

As of now, the exact phase order and weapon banners are unconfirmed. Typically, Wuthering Waves runs two 5-star banners per patch, each lasting about three weeks. The drip marketing does not specify which character will appear first.

Should You Pull?

Qingxiao

Qingxiao’s theme suggests a main DPS role with strong single-target or AoE capabilities. Sword users in Wuthering Waves often excel in quick, fluid combos, and an “immortal” theme might hint at self-sustain or survivability mechanics. If you lack a strong Sword DPS, she could be a valuable addition. However, her exact kit remains unknown—wait for official details before committing.

Unconfirmed speculation: Qingxiao may feature a unique sword stance system, alternating between different attack patterns. This is purely a guess based on similar characters in other gacha games.

Jingran

Jingran’s assassin archetype suggests high burst damage and mobility. Assassins in Wuthering Waves (like those in the Huaxu faction) often rely on positioning and timing. If you enjoy high-skill, high-reward gameplay, Jingran might be your pick. Her kit could introduce new stealth or debuff mechanics.

Speculative note: Neither character’s element or weapon type has been officially confirmed. Expect more information as the patch approaches.

Pull Priority (Current Knowledge)

Character	Role (Speculated)	Value for New Players	Value for Veterans
Qingxiao	Sword DPS	High if lacking a DPS	Situational – depends on existing roster
Jingran	Assassin Burst	Medium – high skill ceiling	High if you enjoy fast-paced play

Remember: until kit details are released, all pull advice is tentative. Always wait for the official character demonstration videos before pulling.

Events & Rewards

No specific events for version 3.6 have been announced. Typically, each patch includes a flagship event offering Primogems (or equivalent), plus a new area or domain. Keep an eye on official announcements for the full event schedule.

Teams & Synergies (Speculative)

Based on their themes, we can make educated guesses about team compositions:

• Qingxiao likely pairs well with supports that enhance basic attack damage or provide crowd control. Characters like Verina or Baizhi could offer healing and ATK buffs.
• Jingran may benefit from units that immobilize enemies or reduce defenses, enabling her to land burst combos. Team-wide speed or energy regeneration supports could also boost her uptime.

These are purely speculative. We will update this guide with concrete team recommendations once kit details are official.

Conclusion

Wuthering Waves 3.6 brings two striking new characters, but patience is key. Qingxiao and Jingran both have strong visual appeal and potential for unique gameplay, but without kit details, it’s too early to determine their meta impact. Save your Astrite, follow official channels, and revisit this guide when the update drops.
