Genshin Impact's 7.1 endgame challenge opened on 28 September 2026 at 12:00 and runs to 3 November 03:59. Start at Hard or above to enter the 10-day burst window, clear three consecutive timed fights with three different teams, and remember that characters, weapons and artifacts lock after use, so spend your strongest loadout on the hardest stage.

Wuthering Waves 3.6 Qingxiao is a 5-star Aero Sword main DPS built around the resonance-stacking system. Her best Echo set is "Qingxie Dangsha Zhi Xin" 5-piece (after applying the stacking debuff: +20% Crit DMG and +30% Aero DMG for 15s), her signature sword Yunlang has 500 base ATK and 36% Crit Rate, and her top team is Qingxiao + Daniya + Moning. Qingxiao arrived in 3.6 "Mirage Lanterns, Mortal Sword-Heart" in the first-half banner, with Daniya rerunning alongside. Set values, weapon stats and material counts in this guide come from LDShop and LootBar build write-ups (third-party). Patch and banner timing come from version roundups. Always verify final numbers in game.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 switches banners on 30 September, new agent Roxy (Wind, Stun) plus the Proxima rerun (Ice, Anomaly) with the "Crimson Moon Coffin" W-Engine, while Claret's banner ends the same day. Clear the 14-day login campaign and every one-off event reward before the switch, then decide where the Polychrome goes.

October runs in four stages, SideStory "Yesterday Sea" in early October (Iberia arc, new operators and outfits), the National Library crossover "Hengyuan Jinliang" in mid-October, Integrated Strategies update one for "Black Current Tree Sea of the Sunken" in mid-October, and "Vision Museum: Evolution" in late October. Right now the only move that matters is holding Sanity and Orundum for early October instead of burning them on Vector Break #3.

Reverse: 1999 version 4.0, "The Gatekeeper," went live on 24 September 2026. Huntsworn Lilia is the core damage dealer of the new Insight archetype, and her team wants Lilia plus the buffed 37, a generic support and a generic sustain slot. Inside her weak-point phase, every second attack upgrades into an AoE hit, and the phase should end with a finisher.

the limited five-star multi-character wish pool (Chinese title "Sleepless Midnight," A Night That Never Ends) runs from 22 September to 9 October. Cumulative pulls unlock the matching outfits and hairstyles, and the free five-star memory for Caleb's story branch closed on 27 September at 04:59.

Pearl is Honkai: Star Rail 4.6's new five-star, an Ice character on the Elation Path who works as a shield sustain. She spends her personal resource to block part of all incoming damage for the team, and she is worth pulling mainly if your Elation roster is already built.

Vesna is the Anemo sword main DPS of Genshin Impact 7.1. Her best artifact set is the guide-site pick Crimson set, her talent order is Skill over Burst with Normal Attack left alone, and without her signature weapon you split one ATK and one Elemental DMG piece.
