Wuthering Waves is shaking things up this May with a massive influx of content. Between May 21, 2026, and June 7, 2026, players will have access to three simultaneous 5-star Resonator banners featuring Denia, Chisa, and Phrolova, along with their matching signature gear. Whether you are aiming to build a top-tier roster, hunting for specific meta picks, or carefully managing your resources for future updates, navigating this triple-banner event requires a well-thought-out strategy.
For expert advice and the latest updates, keep an eye on GenshinBuilds. We’ve broken down the event logistics to help you decide how to best utilize your Radiant and Forging Tides.
Event Overview
- Timeframe: May 21, 2026 (10:00) to June 7, 2026 (11:59) server time.
- Access Requirements: Reach Union Level 5, finish the First Resonance battle trial, or utilize the Main Quest Fast Track.
- Featured Resonators: Denia, Chisa, and Phrolova (available on separate banners).
- Signature Gear: Forged Dwarf Star, Kumokiri, and Lethean Elegy (available on separate banners).
- Standard 4-stars: Chixia, Buling, and Yangyang appear on all character banners; Fusion Accretion, Waning Redshift, and Novaburst appear on all weapon banners.
- System Mechanics: Pity counters are shared across respective Resonator and Weapon banner types and roll over until a 5-star item is earned.
- Wavebands: Players can purchase up to two Wavebands for each featured 5-star in the Afterglow Coral Store during the event.
- Test Drives: Every featured character is available to demo via the Ascendant Aces trials.
Banner Details
Each of the three featured characters—Denia, Chisa, and Phrolova—will have their own dedicated Convene event. Similarly, their respective signature weapons (Forged Dwarf Star, Kumokiri, and Lethean Elegy) will be featured on individual weapon banners. Note that for weapon banners, pulling a 5-star item guarantees the featured signature weapon for that specific banner.
Strategic Pulling Advice
Since detailed kit stats are currently limited, our suggestions focus on general account optimization:
- Denia: A strong candidate if you are looking for a new primary damage dealer. Having access to Wavebands in the Afterglow Coral Store provides a great path for progression.
- Chisa: Best for those who find her playstyle particularly appealing. Only recommended if you have a surplus of currency after securing your top priority.
- Phrolova: As a returning character, she remains a powerhouse in endgame content. Ideal for those who missed her debut or want to boost her Sequence Nodes.
Weapon Banners: Treat these as a luxury. They provide a significant power boost for your chosen character, but if you are F2P, prioritizing your Resonator roster is usually the smarter move.
