Wuthering Waves 3.2 Update: New Characters, Banners, Events & Release Date

If you thought your Astrites were finally safe after the last banner, bad news: Version 3.2 is here to emotionally damage your wallet again.

Below is a full Wuthering Waves 3.2 update summary covering banners, new characters, story content, events, and everything else arriving in the patch.

3.2 Special Program & Release Schedule

The Version 3.2 Special Program livestream is scheduled for March 13, 2026 at 08:00PM JST.

During the livestream, players can expect redeem codes worth a total of 300 Astrite, making it well worth tuning in. For those who cannot watch live, the redeem codes will be shared shortly after the broadcast.

The Version 3.2 update itself is expected to launch on March 19, 2026 (UTC+8).

Similar to previous versions, there will be a short gap between the livestream and the actual update release.

New 5★ Characters

Sigrika

Sigrika is the only confirmed new 5-star Resonator in Version 3.2, and she introduces a playstyle rarely seen in the game so far.

Instead of relying on constant ability spam, Sigrika’s kit focuses on building resources and unleashing massive Echo Skill bursts.

Key design concepts:

• Heavy focus on Echo Skill damage scaling
• Resource-building mechanics before burst windows
• Strong synergy with Echo-focused teammates
• High damage ceiling in optimized teams

Her gameplay encourages a more strategic setup-and-burst style, rather than the usual “press everything on cooldown” combat flow.

In other words: fewer buttons, bigger explosions.

 

New Weapon

Sigrika Signature Weapon

Base ATK: 588 丨 Crit. DMG: 48.6%

Effect:

Increases ATK by 12/15/18/21/24%. Casting Intro Skill or Echo Skill grants 32/40/48/56/64% Echo Skill DMG Amplification for 15s. When dealing Echo Skill DMG, Aero DMG ignores 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% of the target's DEF for 6s.

 

New Echoes

TBA

 

New Skin

TBA

 

New Event

Rhythm Event

One of the more unique activities in this update is a rhythm mini-game event, where players complete music-based challenges using chibi-style characters.

Rewards:

800 Astrites during Version 3.2

200 Astrites after Version 3.2

Unlike most events, this mode is planned to become permanent content after the patch ends.

So yes — even if you miss it now, it should return later.

"Banners Never Fall" in Lahai-Roi

This is a limited-time combat event taking place in the Lahai-Roi area.

Rewards:

600 Astrites

Unlike the rhythm event, this activity will not remain in the game permanently, so players should complete it during the patch period.

Meal-Energy Center

A smaller event focused on completing gameplay tasks and challenges.

Rewards:

400 Astrites

This is also a limited-time event, meaning rewards must be claimed before the event ends.

Tetris Event

Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like — a puzzle-style mini-game inspired by classic block mechanics.

Rewards:

400 Astrites

Like several other activities in the patch, this event will only be available for a limited time.

Anniversary Warm-up Event

Version 3.2 also includes a pre-anniversary warm-up event leading into the next major celebration.

Rewards:

280 Astrites from the "Preheat" event

While the rewards here are smaller, it likely serves as a teaser for the much larger anniversary events coming in the following update.

 

Conclusion

Version 3.2 of Wuthering Waves brings a mix of new characters, banners, story content, Echo sets, events, and system improvements. Whether you're here for the meta, the story, or simply the thrill of pulling on banners you absolutely cannot afford, this update has something to offer. Just remember one important rule before the patch drops: Never say “I’ll just do one pull.”
