Wuthering Waves 3.7 banners: two new 5-stars land as the Xuanfang Arc ends
Version 3.7 drops two new 5-stars in one patch — here is why your Astrite plan matters now
Wuthering Waves is closing out the Xuanfang Arc with a double punch. Version 3.7 will introduce Hsin Moon Fox and Suo Ming, two fresh 5-star Resonators landing in a single update cycle. For anyone tracking their Astrite reserves, this is the patch where poor planning hurts most. Two new characters mean two banners to consider, and Kuro Games has not yet confirmed which runs first.
The official livestream airs September 19, 2026, at 07:00 AM ET (UTC-4). That broadcast will settle banner order, reveal reruns, and drop redemption codes worth 300 Astrite. Until then, some details remain unconfirmed and could shift before launch.
What the livestream will settle
Kuro Games typically uses the pre-patch stream to lock down everything players need to know. For 3.7, the biggest unknowns are banner sequencing and Suo Ming’s element — the source materials list her as Electro in one place and Havoc in another. Treat her attribute as subject to change until the stream confirms it.
The broadcast also serves as the final storytelling beat for the Xuanfang Arc, which ties into the expanding Dreamland narrative. Players invested in that story will want to watch for more than just banner news.
Hsin Moon Fox: Electro DPS built for burst damage
Hsin Moon Fox carries a Rectifier and fills a main DPS slot on Electro teams. Her design leans into Eastern fantasy themes with fox motifs that connect directly to the Dreamland setting. Kuro Games has not released her full kit multipliers or energy costs, but the initial description points to high burst damage as her core strength.
For players who lack a strong Electro carry, she looks like the most straightforward build target in 3.7. Her weapon type and role are confirmed, so pre-farming Rectifier materials carries less risk than guessing on Suo Ming’s final kit.
Suo Ming: Support role with an unclear element
Suo Ming fights with a Sword and is listed as a support or sub-DPS unit focused on team buffs and utility. That alone makes her valuable for players who need to strengthen their backline. But her element is a question mark. The discrepancy between Electro and Havoc in the source material means anyone who wants to pre-farm for her will have to wait.
If her final kit lands on the support side of the scale, she could fit into multiple team compositions. Until Kuro Games publishes the numbers, synergy talk is guesswork.
| Banner phase | Character | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Hsin Moon Fox | New 5-star | Revealed, banner expected |
| Phase 2 | Suo Ming | New 5-star | Revealed, banner expected |
Who should pull — and who should hold
Good reasons to pull
- You need an Electro main DPS and like Hsin Moon Fox’s design and playstyle hints.
- Your support roster has gaps and you want a flexible sub-DPS option in Suo Ming.
- You follow the Dreamland storyline closely and want the characters who anchor it.
Good reasons to skip or wait
- You are saving Astrite for confirmed reruns or future characters not yet announced.
- Your Electro DPS slot is already filled by a built unit, and you prefer to pull after kit confirmation.
- Your Astrite count is low. The smart play is to watch the September 19 stream before spending anything.
What to save for
- Suo Ming’s final kit details. Her attribute and scaling are not locked yet, so waiting carries less risk.
- Signature weapons. Both Resonators will likely ship with dedicated 5-star weapons. No official stats have been shared.
Who gets the most value out of 3.7
- New players: Hsin Moon Fox is the easier pick if you are still hunting for a first strong DPS. Her role is straightforward and her team requirements look manageable.
- Midgame players: Suo Ming could fill support gaps that hold back your second or third team.
- Low-spend players: Pick one banner and commit. Hsin Moon Fox offers more immediate impact on paper.
- Collectors: Start stockpiling now. Two new 5-stars in a single patch will drain resources fast.
What to do before the patch drops
- Clear daily tasks and limited events to rake in every Astrite available before 3.7.
- Skip the tail end of 3.6 banners if you are targeting either new character.
- Stock up on weapon upgrade materials and Resonator EXP so you can build whoever you pull on day one.
- Mark your calendar for September 19, 2026. Tune into the livestream for the 300 Astrite codes and the final banner schedule.
Team-building outlook
Hsin Moon Fox’s Electro DPS profile suggests she will work well with Electro supports and sub-DPS units that feed her energy or amplify her damage. Suo Ming could fit a wider range of teams if her support kit delivers meaningful buffs, but without confirmed numbers, any team comps are hypothetical.
Players still deciding on 3.6 units such as Qingxiao or Jingran should weigh their choices carefully. Spending on the current banner could mean missing one of the new 5-stars if Astrite runs short.
Kuro Games settles the open questions on September 19. Watch the stream, check the confirmed details, and then decide where your resources go. Two new characters in one patch is a lot — but a plan makes it manageable.
