Qingxiao Banner and Phase 1 Details

The first half of WuWa 3.6 features the debut of Qingxiao, a new five-star Resonator. Alongside the debut, Denia returns for a rerun, giving players a second chance to grab her.

• Phase 1 dates: August 19, 2026 – September 10, 2026
• Featured characters: Qingxiao (debut) and Denia (rerun)

Phase 2 Banners: Jingran Debut and More Reruns

The second half of the update shifts focus to Jingran, another new Resonator making her debut. She'll be joined by reruns of Hiyuki and Mornye, making this a stacked phase for players who missed out earlier.

• Phase 2 dates: September 10, 2026 – September 30, 2026 (estimated)
• Featured characters: Jingran (debut), Hiyuki (rerun), Mornye (rerun)

With three characters on offer, you'll want to prioritize based on your roster and needs.

Should You Pull?

Qingxiao looks like a strong addition if you need a new DPS or sub-DPS option. Her kit appears versatile, but we'll need to see her full numbers before making a final call. Denia is a solid rerun for those who skipped her the first time.

For Jingran, Hiyuki, and Mornye, the decision depends on your current team compositions. If you're missing a support or a specific element, these reruns could fill that gap. As always, consider your Astrite budget and future banners before committing.

Pre-Patch To-Dos

Before the servers go down, make sure you've:

• Spent your Waveplates to avoid capping
• Completed any limited-time events that expire with the update
• Claimed rewards from the mail
• Checked your Convene pity counter to plan your pulls

Day-1 Priorities

Once 3.6 is live, focus on:

• Logging in early to grab any maintenance compensation
• Starting the new story quests to unlock Qingxiao and Jingran's materials
• Checking the event tab for new limited-time activities
• Reviewing the shop for any refreshed packs or bundles

That's everything you need to know about the WuWa 3.6 release timing. Whether you're pulling for Qingxiao or saving for Jingran, plan ahead and enjoy the update!
