Wuthering Waves 3.5 Banners Leaked: Xuanling and Suisui Debut

Wuthering Waves Version 3.5 is already shaping up to be one of the more interesting updates for players who care about long-term roster building. According to the latest beta leaks, the patch is expected to introduce two new 5-star Resonators: Xuanling, also referred to as Yangyang SP, and Suisui. Both characters appear to be tied closely to new negative-status mechanics, new Echo sets, and the next explorable region, Mengzhou.

Before going further, treat everything below as leak-based information. Character roles, weapon stats, Echo effects, banner order, skin prices, and quality-of-life features can all change before the official Version 3.5 livestream or final release.

WuWa 3.5 Banner Leaks

Current leaks suggest that Version 3.5 will follow a two-phase banner format. Each phase is expected to feature one new limited 5-star Resonator, with a matching signature weapon on the weapon banner. At the time of writing, rerun banners have not been reliably leaked, so players should avoid planning around a specific returning character until stronger information appears.

Phase	Leaked 5-star Resonator	Leaked signature weapon	Early role summary
Phase 1	Xuanling, also known as Yangyang SP	Azure of Heaven	Havoc Sword main DPS focused on Havoc Bane and Heavy Attack damage
Phase 2	Suisui	Dew Imbiber	Glacio Rectifier support and healer built around Glacio Chafe, healing, and team buffs

The early banner picture is simple: Xuanling looks like the damage dealer, while Suisui looks like the support piece. That distinction matters because many players will not be choosing between two similar DPS units. Instead, Version 3.5 may ask whether your account needs a new Havoc carry, a future-facing negative-status support, or both.

Xuanling, Yangyang SP

Leaked rarity: 5-star

Leaked attribute: Havoc

Leaked weapon: Sword

Leaked role: Main DPS

Xuanling is rumored to be a special version of Yangyang and one of the headline characters of Version 3.5. Instead of repeating Yangyang's original Aero identity, this version is currently listed as a Havoc Sword Resonator.

Based on the leaked kit descriptions, Xuanling appears to be designed as an on-field main DPS who rotates through stance changes and builds damage through Havoc Bane. Her damage profile is said to lean heavily toward Heavy Attack Havoc DMG, making her signature weapon and the new Echo set especially important if the beta numbers survive to launch.

What makes Xuanling interesting is not only her personal damage. She may also be the first major DPS who makes Havoc Bane feel like a full team-building direction rather than a side effect. If your account already has supports that can help maintain negative status uptime, Xuanling could become a strong centerpiece for a more specialized Havoc setup.

Who Should Consider Pulling Xuanling?

Xuanling should be a high-priority target if you want a new Havoc main DPS, enjoy stance-based combat, or have been waiting for Yangyang to receive a premium alternate form. She may also be attractive for players who like Heavy Attack-focused characters, since her leaked weapon and Echo set both seem to push that damage type.

However, players who already own strong Havoc carries such as Camellya or Phrolova should wait for finalized kit details and testing. If Xuanling ends up competing for similar teammates or field time, the upgrade may depend on how much you like her playstyle rather than raw account value.

Suisui

Leaked rarity: 5-star

Leaked attribute: Glacio

Leaked weapon: Rectifier

Leaked role: Support and healer

Suisui is the second new 5-star Resonator leaked for Version 3.5. Early kit information describes her as a Glacio Rectifier support with healing, team buffs, and mechanics connected to Glacio Chafe.

Her kit reportedly has two operating states. In her normal state, she builds a resource tied to stillness; in her enhanced state, she builds a separate resource that strengthens the next teammate she supports. In practical terms, Suisui may reward players who carefully time her field time, healing, status application, and swap-out window.

The most important part of her leaked design is her synergy with negative-status teams. If she can support teams built around Glacio Chafe, Havoc Bane, or similar effects, Suisui could become more than a simple healer. She may be a flexible enabler for Version 3.5 and for future characters that depend on status-driven damage.

Who Should Consider Pulling Suisui?

Suisui looks valuable for players who want account-wide utility rather than another on-field carry. Supports and healers usually age well in Wuthering Waves because they can fit into multiple teams over time, and Suisui's rumored buffs may make her especially useful for players investing in the new status mechanics.

If you are low on Astrite and already have enough DPS units, Suisui may be the safer long-term pick. The main reason to wait is uncertainty: support numbers, buff uptime, and rotation comfort matter a lot, and those details often change during beta.

WuWa 3.5 New Weapons

Two new 5-star weapons are leaked for Version 3.5. As usual, these appear to be built around the featured characters' strongest damage or support patterns.

Azure of Heaven

Leaked rarity: 5-star

Leaked base ATK: 588

Leaked secondary stat: Crit Rate 24.3%

Likely user: Xuanling

Azure of Heaven is Xuanling's leaked signature weapon. Its reported effect grants an all-attribute damage bonus and then boosts Heavy Attack performance when Havoc Bane is applied. The leaked version also includes DEF ignore for Heavy Attack damage, which would make it highly specialized for Xuanling's expected rotation.

For most players, this weapon should be considered after securing the character. If the final kit remains close to the leak, Azure of Heaven may be a large personal upgrade for Xuanling, but its value on other Sword users could be narrower because so much of its effect depends on Havoc Bane and Heavy Attack damage.

Dew Imbiber

Leaked rarity: 5-star

Leaked base ATK: 413

Leaked secondary stat: Crit Rate 77.04%

Likely user: Suisui

Dew Imbiber is Suisui's leaked signature Rectifier. The early effect is more complex than a simple stat stick: it reportedly increases Max HP, restores Concerto Energy after Resonance Liberation, and grants team buffs through effects tied to Intro Skill, Resonance Skill, Glacio Chafe, and healing.

Because Suisui is rumored to be a support and healer, her weapon's real value will depend on how much it improves team damage, rotation smoothness, and buff uptime. If you are choosing between Suisui and Dew Imbiber, Suisui herself is likely the higher priority unless the final weapon numbers become unusually strong.

WuWa 3.5 New Echo Sets

Version 3.5 is also expected to add three new Echo sets. One appears directly connected to Xuanling and Suisui, while the other two may be designed for future characters or specific archetypes.

Song of Feathered Trace

Leaked 2-piece effect: Energy Regen +10%

Leaked 5-piece effect: Grants different feather effects after applying Havoc Bane or Glacio Chafe.

This is the Echo set to watch for Version 3.5's new characters. The Havoc Bane side reportedly boosts Crit Rate and Heavy Attack damage, making it a natural fit for Xuanling. The Glacio Chafe side is said to scale a team ATK buff with Energy Regen, which points toward Suisui or other Glacio Chafe supports.

Lamp of Nether Road

Leaked 2-piece effect: HP +10%

Leaked 5-piece effect: Gains Crit Rate after receiving shields, then adds Fusion DMG Bonus at maximum stacks.

Lamp of Nether Road sounds like a shield-oriented set for a Fusion damage dealer or a future unit who can trigger shields repeatedly. It does not look like the default choice for either Xuanling or Suisui, but it may become important if Version 3.5 or a later patch introduces a shield-heavy Fusion team.

Heart of Evil's Purge

Leaked 2-piece effect: Aero DMG +10%

Leaked 5-piece effect: Increases Crit DMG and Aero DMG Bonus after inflicting a Tune Strain-related effect.

This set looks aimed at Aero damage teams rather than the two new Version 3.5 characters. Since the trigger references a specific status, players should wait before farming heavily unless a future character clearly uses that mechanic.

WuWa 3.5 New Skins

Leaks also point to two summer-themed Deluxe Outfits arriving in Version 3.5. Both prices are still unconfirmed, but early speculation compares them to previous Deluxe Outfit pricing: 1,980 Lunites during the version and 2,480 Lunites after the discount period.

Lynae 3.5 Skin

Lynae is rumored to receive a new summer outfit in Version 3.5. If the leaked visuals are close to final, this skin will likely be one of the patch's main cosmetic highlights.

Chisa 3.5 Skin

Chisa is also rumored to receive a summer outfit. Like Lynae's skin, the final name, price, and store timing should be treated as unconfirmed until official patch information arrives.

WuWa 3.5 New Map: Mengzhou

The new region leaked for Version 3.5 is Mengzhou. Early descriptions connect it with Xuanling, Suisui, and the negative-status mechanics appearing across the patch, which suggests the area may introduce enemies, puzzles, materials, and combat encounters built around those systems.

For players planning progression, Mengzhou may also matter because new characters often require new regional materials. If Xuanling and Suisui both depend on Version 3.5 resources, expect exploration to become part of the pull plan, not just an optional side activity.

New QoL Features in Version 3.5

Several quality-of-life updates are reportedly being tested for Version 3.5:

· 3D team menu: A redesigned team selection screen has appeared in testing, though earlier versions of this feature reportedly had stability issues.

· Direct teleport to locked regions: Some locked map locations may become reachable without full story progression, which would help players farm materials for newer Resonators.

· Per-character voice-over language settings: Players may be able to choose voice languages separately for individual characters.

· Improved Guidebook filters: Guidebook search and filtering may become cleaner and faster.

These features may not all arrive at launch, but they are worth watching because they address real everyday friction: team setup, material access, voice preferences, and menu navigation.

Xuanling or Suisui: Which Banner Should You Pull?

If the leaks stay accurate, the simplest pull advice is:

· Pull Xuanling if you need a new Havoc main DPS or love Yangyang enough to invest in her SP version.

· Pull Suisui if you want a support/healer who may stay relevant across multiple negative-status teams.

· Pull Xuanling's weapon only after confirming you are committed to using her as a major carry.

· Pull Suisui's weapon only if its final team-buff value proves strong enough to justify the weapon banner.

· Save for reruns if your account already has enough DPS and support coverage.

For most low-spend or free-to-play players, Suisui may be the more flexible target because supports usually have broader team value. That said, Xuanling has the stronger emotional and playstyle appeal if you have been waiting for Yangyang SP.

Conclusion

Wuthering Waves 3.5 is currently rumored to bring two major new 5-star Resonators, two signature weapons, three Echo sets, summer skins for Lynae and Chisa, the Mengzhou region, and several useful QoL improvements. The centerpiece is the pair of Xuanling and Suisui: one looks like a Havoc main DPS built around Havoc Bane, while the other looks like a Glacio support/healer designed for status-based teams.

Because all of this information comes from leaks and beta testing, the best approach is to prepare without overcommitting. Save Astrite, avoid pre-farming too aggressively until materials are confirmed, and wait for official announcements before spending on weapons or skins.
