Wuthering Waves 3.6 timeline and banner structure
Wuthering Waves the version cycle and close date
3.6 went live August 20, 2026 at 11:00 UTC+8 with a 42-day cycle. That puts the close around September 29 to 30, so treat event and Tower settlements as a final-two-weeks problem rather than something to hand to the next version.
Wuthering Waves one new 5-star per phase
Phase one ran Qingxiao, a 5-star Aero sword resonator and the main damage dealer for the Concerto archetype, with the signature sword Yunlang. Phase two runs Jingran, a 5-star Fusion broadblade dealer whose damage scales off HP and heavy attacks, paired with the 5-star broadblade Qianbandu.
Wuthering Waves the rerun banners
Phase one reran Denia, and phase two reruns Hiyuki and Mornye . Reruns follow a different logic from first pulls: they only pay off for constellations or signature weapons on characters you already own. Do not open two lines at once if you are starting from zero.
Wuthering Waves 3.6 Astrites: how much is actually left
Wuthering Waves free-to-play Astrite income
A free-to-play account can earn roughly 11,240 Astrites across the full 3.6 cycle, about 70 pulls. That number assumes you clear the daily and event pipeline; accounts playing casually end up well below it, so total your own balance before planning.
Wuthering Waves the 0+1 and 1+1 budgeting line
0+1 means the character plus their signature weapon, and 1+1 adds one copy for a sequence node. Against a 70-pull version income, landing 0+1 from zero in a single version needs an existing reserve, so a 180-pull budget is the safer planning figure. The last week of a version is the wrong time to open a new weapon line unless you intend to keep the team long term.
Wuthering Waves should you pull the signature weapon now
Signature weapons buy rotation tolerance more than raw damage. For a dealer like Qingxiao whose output depends on uptime, the signature lengthens buff windows and shows up as stability in higher Tower floors. If you only clear mid floors and dailies, a crit-stat alternative is close enough that it does not justify a full pull budget.

Wuthering Waves Tower of Adversity and weekly boss priorities
Wuthering Waves do not leave Tower settlement to the last day
Tower of Adversity settles on a cycle, so the final days of a version are clearance time. Hazard Tower environment keywords change each cycle; when the keywords do not fit your team, switching to a side tower usually beats grinding high floors.
Wuthering Waves the weekly boss is mandatory
Weekly boss materials gate skill upgrades, and this version's weekly boss covers the version's own characters. Missing a week costs more time to recover than it saves.
Wuthering Waves waveplough priority table
| Priority | Use | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| High | Weekly boss | Locked per week, cannot be made up |
| High | Tower settlement | Cycle rewards expire |
| Medium | Event shop exchange | Spend event currency before it closes |
| Low | Open-world echo farming | Value resets with the next version |

Wuthering Waves preparing for 3.7
Wuthering Waves the state of official 3.7 information
As of now, no official 3.7 preview information has been published, so leaked banner lists are not a planning basis. Treat the next version's contents as unknown and leave budget headroom instead of locking decisions now.
Wuthering Waves three things worth hoarding
First, Astrites and pull currency, pending the official preview. Second, generic progression materials, meaning resonance potions, EXP, and Shell Credits. Third, echo EXP and tuning materials, which transfer directly to whatever set 3.7 introduces.
Wuthering Waves three things to skip in the final week
Skip large-scale open-world echo rolling, skip breaking up a working team just to complete a set, and skip constellation pulls on a banner you have no information about. All three share one trait: their value drops to near zero when the version flips.
Wuthering Waves 3.6 wrap-up FAQ
Q: When does Wuthering Waves 3.6 end?
A: 3.6 launched August 20, 2026 with a 42-day cycle, which points to a close around September 29 to 30. Confirm against the official announcement.
Q: I am 20 pulls from pity in the last week, should I push for the signature weapon?
A: No. Signature value shows up as rotation tolerance, and a crit-stat alternative is enough for mid Tower floors. Keep the budget for the next version.
Q: How many materials does Qingxiao need in total?
A: Ascension and skills together take 46 Lament of the Nightmare Immortal, 26 The Us We Questioned, 60 Blade Bloom, and 122 Premium Resonance Potions, plus tiered Polarizer and Mecha Hub Core drops .
Q: Should I pre-farm for Jingran?
A: Not on guesswork. Jingran scales off HP and heavy attacks, so bank generic materials now and farm dedicated drops once the version is live.
Q: What should waveplough go to in the final week?
A: Weekly boss first, then Tower settlement, then event shop spending. Open-world echo rolling comes last.

- Palworld v1.0.5 Tower Boss Order Guide: Elements, Counters and Squad Choices
Palworld's v1.0.5 patch (2026-09-15) only fixed texture loading, so what actually shapes tower runs is the 1.0 release itself: the boss count expanded from 7 towers in early access to 9, the level curve runs from 10 all the way to 80, and the new Sunreach sky islands and World Tree finale sit at the end of it . Clearing towers is less about raw investment than about picking Pals that exploit each boss's element.
- Reverse: 1999 Version 4.0.0 Second Half Guide: Drake, the October 15 Banner Swap and Free Rewards
Reverse: 1999 has moved into the second half of version 4.0.0, and the banners swap on October 15: Drake arrives as a new standard six-star Beast character, while a pick-your-own rate-up runs with Quniang, Liangyue, Nana, Lucy and Nodica selectable . The first half's limited SP Crossbow banner closes at the same point, so October 15 is a clean dividing line.
- Love and Deepspace Xavier Birthday Guide: Wish Upon This Moment Banner Window
Love and Deepspace's Xavier birthday event is live, and the birthday five-star Memory is obtainable from 2026-10-11 at 05:00 to 2026-10-18 at 04:59 (source: official birthday calendar and birthday Memory announcement, 2026-10-08). The window is only seven days and it is a single-character banner rather than a pooled one, so the budget is easier to plan, provided you count your tickets and diamonds before you start pulling. The single target is the main advantage: there is no risk of boosting the wrong Memory and no need to compare three candidates.
- Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Fissure Guide: Double Relic Drops and Immersifier Spending
Honkai: Star Rail's 4.6 Planar Fissure event is live, and Planar Ornaments drop double rewards for the duration . The doubled runs are limited and do not reset during the event, so the goal is not farming more but spending the limited runs on the two worlds your roster actually needs.
- Genshin Impact 7.1 Imaginarium Theater Guide: Ice, Hydro and Anemo Stacking
The October 2026 Imaginarium Theater rotation locks the playable elements to Ice, Hydro and Anemo, and its core mechanic grants one stack of Frost Benediction whenever your party triggers Swirl, with each stack adding 80% Swirl damage and 12% crit damage up to 3 stacks . So the rotation is not about raw damage but about Swirl frequency, getting the blessing to full stacks as fast as possible.
- Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity Lineup Guide: Mid Tower Splits and Side Tower Stamina
The Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity refreshed on October 13, and this rotation cuts Havoc resistance on the left tower's fourth floor, which clears the way for Havoc teams. The mid tower remains the hardest part of the cycle, with Sunmoon, Cartethyia and Phrolova squads still carrying it, Zhanfei usable, and Galbrena needing Qiuyuan to reach full shape. If you only need the rewards, the side towers auto-clear and your stamina belongs to the mid tower.
- Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Shiyu Defense Guide: Three Teams and the October 2 Rotation
Zenless Zone Zero's October 2 Shiyu Defense rotation runs through October 16 and ends in a three-room score check where each room caps at 25,000 points for an S rank and the total reaches 100,000 (source: in-game Shiyu Defense interface plus creator testing, 2026-10-02). If you only want the Polychrome, getting all three rooms to S is enough, because the reward gate is the S rank and not the total.

Arknights ran a forced maintenance on 2026-10-09 that shipped four free progression tracks at once: 4 operator records, 4 Paradox Simulations, 4 exclusive modules including the second modules for Shou and Ulpianus, plus 5 Originite Prime in compensation . The dates worth writing into a calendar are 10-15 04:00 for the mid-tier headhunting refresh and voucher store update, and 10-16 04:00 for the Security Service reward refresh .
