New Character: Lily
Lily is the crown jewel of 3.8, and her leaked design has already drawn comparisons to Shorekeeper. According to data-mines, she is a 5-star Spectro pistol user tied to the New Federation lore. Unlike traditional hyper-carries, she is rumored to be a support or sub-DPS focused on the evolving unison ecosystem.
The leaked "Flower of Crimson Memory" echo set adds weight to her utility: a 2-piece healing bonus and a 5-piece team attack buff triggered by healing. If you've invested in recent team compositions, skipping Lily might leave a gap in your rotation efficiency.
Phase 1 Banners: Lily Debut and Hiyuki Rerun
Phase 1 is where the tough choices begin. Alongside Lily, insiders point to Sigrika and Hiyuki for reruns. Hiyuki's potential inclusion is fueled by persistent rumors of a new skin, which often signals a rerun. If you're torn between a new support and constellations for returning favorites, Phase 1 will demand careful budgeting.
Phase 2 Outlook: Mystery Resonator and Reruns
Phase 2 is murkier. Chatter suggests a new 4-star male resonator, but details on his element, weapon, and kit are nonexistent. For reruns, Xiangli Yao and Zhezhi are speculated. Unless you urgently need these characters, Phase 2 might be the ideal time to save.
Should You Pull?
Pull If…
- You need a Spectro support and Lily's final kit confirms she's a meta-defining unison enabler.
- You're a collector and want to complete your roster with a new 5-star.
- You have spare Astrite and can afford to pull without jeopardizing your 4.0 savings.
Skip If…
- You're saving for 4.0 and the rumored Sword Art Online crossover (Kirito and Asuna).
- You already have strong Spectro supports like Shorekeeper or Verina.
- You're F2P or low-spend and need to prioritize meta-defining DPS units.
Save For…
- 4.0 New Federation characters, which are likely to power-creep current options.
- The potential SAO collaboration, which may feature limited-time characters.
Events & Rewards
Not stated in official materials. Typically, each patch includes login events, limited-time challenges, and Astrite rewards. We'll update this section once Kuro Games announces official details.
Teams & Synergies
If Lily's leaked kit holds, she will likely fit into teams that rely on healing and unison mechanics. She could pair well with Shorekeeper for double support, or with Jinhsi for Spectro resonance. However, without official numbers, these are speculative.
Final Thoughts
The WuWa 3.8 banners are shaping up to be a resource trap before 4.0. If Lily proves to be a must-have support, she's worth the investment. Otherwise, holding your Astrite for the New Federation is the safer play. Keep an eye on official channels for the livestream, and may your pulls be lucky.
