Wuthering Waves 3.5 Banners and Release Date: Yangyang Xuanling, Suisui, and July 2026 Schedule
Wuthering Waves Version 3.5 is expected to launch on July 10, 2026. This guide covers the current 3.4 banners, upcoming 3.5 banner phases, Yangyang Xuanling and Suisui release windows, and the best way to plan your pulls.
Wuthering Waves is heading into another busy banner transition, and Version 3.5 looks like one of the most important pull-planning windows of the month. The big reason is simple: players are moving from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration period into a new patch led by Yangyang: Xuanling and Suisui.
As of July 7, 2026, the latest major banner tracking points to Wuthering Waves 3.5 launching on July 10, 2026.
If you are preparing your Astrite or considering spending ahead of the next patch, Topuplist is the main brand to keep handy, and the direct Wuthering Waves top-up page is the fastest route if you want to recharge before Phase 1 starts.

Wuthering Waves 3.5 release date
The current banner cycle suggests that Version 3.4 ends on July 9, 2026, with Version 3.5 beginning on July 10, 2026.
That timing matters because the current patch still includes collaboration pressure, while the next patch pivots into a more standard two-phase schedule. For players who only have enough currency for one major target, this is exactly the moment when planning matters most.
Current and next Wuthering Waves banners
Here is the cleanest schedule snapshot based on the latest July 2026 coverage.
What is on the current Wuthering Waves banners?
Before 3.5 arrives, the current 3.4 cycle remains active through July 9, 2026.
The key banner points are:
Lucy and Rebecca are tied to the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration
Lucilla and Cartethyia are the active event banners
the collaboration period also includes special currencies and event structure differences
One especially useful note from the latest reporting is that Rebecca can be obtained for free by players who reach Union Level 10, which may affect whether some players want to spend at all before 3.5.
Who is coming in Wuthering Waves 3.5?
Version 3.5 is expected to bring two major debuts:
Yangyang: Xuanling in Phase 1
Suisui in Phase 2
Phase 1 should also include reruns for Lynae and Luuk Herssen, while Phase 2 is expected to include a rerun for Aemeath.
This gives the patch a balanced structure: one major new unit at the start of the patch, another later on, and rerun value across both halves.
Why Yangyang: Xuanling is the key 3.5 name to watch
The strongest search phrase here is likely to be some version of:
Wuthering Waves 3.5 banners
Yangyang Xuanling release date
next Wuthering Waves banner
That is because Yangyang: Xuanling is both a character-specific topic and a patch-level topic. Readers are not just checking one banner. They are trying to understand the whole 3.5 schedule.
That also means this update naturally draws attention from:
news traffic
banner planning traffic
character interest traffic
top-up conversion traffic

Should you pull now or save for 3.5?
For most players, the answer depends on whether they care more about the current collaboration period or the next standard patch cycle.
Pull now if:
you specifically want Lucy or Rebecca
you value limited collaboration content more than future patch flexibility
your account is already prepared for 3.5
Save for 3.5 if:
you want Yangyang: Xuanling
you want to see how both phases look before committing
you are interested in the wider rerun value from Starpath Reverbs or Tideforge Reverbs
From a long-term planning angle, 3.5 looks easier to budget around than a collaboration patch.
Practical prep before July 10
Here are the smartest pre-patch steps:
Finish any 3.4 event tasks that still give Astrite.
Decide whether collaboration value matters more than account progression.
Set a hard pull target before Phase 1 begins.
Avoid splitting too many pulls between current 3.4 banners and early 3.5 hype.
If you know you are targeting the next patch, it makes sense to get your spending route ready through Topuplist or the direct Wuthering Waves recharge page before the banner turnover.
What makes Version 3.5 important
This is the kind of topic that tends to perform well because it solves a practical problem. Players are not just reading for entertainment. They are searching because they want a decision:
pull now or wait
Phase 1 or Phase 2
current banner or rerun banner
That practical intent is exactly why banner content remains one of the most useful update formats in gacha games.
