Wuthering Waves 3.3 Banner Overview

Wuthering Waves 3.3 New Resonators: Hiyuki & Denia
Hiyuki — Glacio Sword Main DPS
Hiyuki is a shrine maiden from Startorch Academy in Lahai-Roi with ties to the Threnodian Aleph-1. She debuted in the Version 3.2 Companion Quest and immediately became one of the most anticipated Resonators.
As the 2nd anniversary flagship, she fills the premium Glacio Main DPS slot that has been vacant for over a year since Carlotta. The voice director also confirmed recording emotionally intense scenes for 3.3, suggesting Hiyuki will be central to the main story.
Without Chisa, reaching 10 Chafe stacks requires a longer on-field rotation, directly capping Hiyuki's DPS ceiling. Looking further ahead, Lucilla (expected 3.4+) completes the full Glacio trio, similar to how Iuno completes Augusta's Electro team.
Pulling Hiyuki now means locking in the core piece for a team that will only get stronger over time.
Denia — Fusion Rectifier Sub DPS
Denia is the missing piece Fusion teams have been waiting for. Unlike Electro (where Iuno supports Augusta) or Glacio (which has multiple sub DPS options), Fusion has had zero dedicated off-field Burst support until now.
If you own Aemeath, Denia is not a "nice to have" — she is the difference between a functional team and an optimized one.
If both Aemeath and Mornye rerun in the 3.3 anniversary wave, this becomes the best single-patch window to build a complete Fusion DoT team from scratch.
New Mornye Outfit
According to Seele leaks, Mornye (Linnémornyé) will receive a new costume in Version 3.3. No specific details about the outfit design have been revealed yet. Given the 2nd anniversary timing, this may be a paid costume or a limited event reward. We will update this section once the official announcement is made.
Wuthering Waves 3.3 Team Composition Predictions
Glacio Burst — Hiyuki Core Team
The premier Glacio comp of 3.3. Hiyuki provides burst DPS, Chisa accelerates Chafe stacks, and a healer/buffer rounds it out.
Glacio Burst — Future Best-in-Slot (3.4+)
Once Lucilla releases, this becomes Hiyuki's ceiling team.
Fusion DoT — Aemeath + Denia Core
Denia fills the chronic support gap in Fusion teams. If Aemeath reruns in 3.3, this entire team becomes buildable in one patch.
📢 Bonus: Wuthering Waves' 5-star pity is at 80 pulls. The worst case to guarantee a featured Resonator is 160 pulls (~25,600 Astrite). With GamsGo's Wuthering Waves Top-Up, you can save up to 30% on Astrite — making that guaranteed pull significantly cheaper.
Pull Strategy: Hiyuki vs. Denia — Who Should You Pull First?
If your Astrite is limited, you need to prioritize based on your roster and goals.
F2P players earn roughly 8,000 to 10,000 Astrite per 42-day patch cycle — about 50 to 62 pulls. The full 3.2-to-3.3 window gives you one complete savings cycle before Hiyuki's banner goes live. Combined with 2nd anniversary freebies, most active F2P players should be able to guarantee at least one new Resonator.
What Comes After 3.3
The post-3.3 roadmap is worth keeping an eye on for long-term Astrite planning:
Version 3.4 is expected to feature a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration (not officially confirmed), with Lucy (Lucia Kushinada) and Rebecca potentially arriving as limited Resonators. Collab characters in gacha games are typically time-limited with no reruns, making them high-priority targets for collectors.
After 3.4, Lucilla, the president of Startorch Academy, is expected to debut as a Glacio Rectifier Resonator. She is the missing piece for Hiyuki's ceiling team. In other words, high-value banners are lined up from 3.3 all the way through 3.4+, making long-term resource management absolutely critical. Starting to save Astrite now is the smart play.

FAQ
When Does Wuthering Waves 3.3 Update?
Based on the standard 42-day update cycle, Version 3.3 is expected on April 29, 2026. This aligns with the 2nd anniversary celebration on May 22. Please check official announcements for the confirmed schedule.
Should I Pull Hiyuki or Denia First?
If you need a Glacio Main DPS, go for Hiyuki. If you want to complete an Aemeath DoT team, prioritize Denia. As the 2nd anniversary flagship, Hiyuki is the safer pick in terms of standalone value and long-term investment, especially with Lucilla coming in 3.4+.
Which Resonators Are Rerunning in 3.3?
Nothing has been confirmed yet. Based on the precedent of up to 10 reruns during the 1st anniversary, a large-scale rerun is expected. Top candidates include Carlotta, Cartethyia, Augusta, Iuno, Zani, Aemeath, and Mornye. We will update this page once the official lineup is announced.
How Much Astrite Do I Need to Guarantee Hiyuki?
Wuthering Waves' 5-star pity is at 80 pulls. If you lose the 50/50, it takes up to 160 pulls (~25,600 Astrite) to guarantee the featured Resonator. Add another 80 pulls (~12,800 Astrite) if you also want her signature weapon.
Is Aemeath's Team Unusable Without Denia?
You can still use the team, but the difference is significant. Without Denia, Fusion teams have no dedicated off-field Burst stack provider, resulting in longer rotations (20+ seconds) and energy management issues. Denia's addition is expected to noticeably reduce rotation length and increase overall team DPS.
