Wuthering Waves 3.4 Banner Overview
Phase 1 — Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Collab Banners (Lucy & Rebecca)
Phase 1 of version 3.4 will mark Wuthering Waves' first-ever cross-IP collaboration — with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Lucy and Rebecca will debut as limited 5-star Resonators, each with a distinctly different style: Lucy is precise and composed, while Rebecca is wild and explosive. As collab characters, they are not expected to be rerun — miss them now and you may never get another chance.
Both characters are expected to appear in Phase 1. Notably, leaks suggest Rebecca may be obtainable for free through an event — if confirmed, you can focus all your Astrite on Lucy. The exact banner structure will be clarified in the official livestream.
Phase 2 — Lucilla Debut Banner
Lucilla is the Principal of Startorch Academy, a recurring presence in the main story since version 3.0, with her relationship with Hiyuki further developed in a 3.2 side quest. Players have been waiting for her to become playable for multiple versions — and Phase 2 of 3.4 finally delivers her official debut.
If you already pulled Hiyuki in 3.3, Lucilla can practically be considered her dedicated partner — their synergy has been foreshadowed in the story, and their combat synergy is equally anticipated. Even without Hiyuki, Lucilla's Glacio buffs should provide considerable value to existing Glacio carry characters like Carlotta.
Rerun Banner Predictions
There are currently no specific leaks regarding the 3.4 rerun lineup. Based on Wuthering Waves' rerun patterns, limited characters typically return every 3 to 4 versions. Working from that cycle, characters from the 2.x era who debuted a while ago and haven't had a recent rerun are strong candidates — including Carlotta, Camellya, and Shorekeeper.
Weapon Banners
Version 3.4 is expected to launch signature weapons for all three new characters alongside their respective character banners. Based on current information, Lucy and Rebecca will have pistol weapons, while Lucilla's weapon will be a Rectifier. Specific weapon names and stats have not yet been announced.
Wuthering Waves × Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Collaboration
About the Collab
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an anime that premiered on Netflix in 2022, co-produced by CD PROJEKT RED and Studio Trigger, set in the world of the video game Cyberpunk 2077. With its visually striking style, emotionally charged storytelling, and unforgettable characters, the series made a massive global impact upon release.
The collaboration was officially announced by Kuro Games during the Wuthering Waves first anniversary livestream on April 19, 2025, with a collab trailer simultaneously released across official social media channels. Both teams confirmed the partnership.
The trailer featured music from the original anime soundtrack, sparking widespread discussion in the community. For Wuthering Waves, this marks the game's first-ever cross-IP collaboration — and with a title of this caliber, the significance speaks for itself.
Based on current leaks, the collaboration will go live in Phase 1 of version 3.4, with Lucy and Rebecca debuting as limited Resonators. In Kuro Games' titles, collab characters are typically not rerun, making this banner one of the highest-priority pulls of the year for many players.
Lucy (Lucyna Kushinada) — Kit & Playstyle
| Lucy (Lucyna Kushinada) Overview | |||
Origin: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Affiliation: Night City Role in Anime: Netrunner / Female Lead Collab Type: Limited — No Rerun How to Obtain: 3.4 Banner Phase 1 |  | ||
| Rarity | Element | Weapon | Role |
| ★★★★★ | Spectro | Pistol | Main DPS |
| Playstyle | Best Partners | ||
| High-speed single-target precision DPS | TBC | ||
Lucy is the female protagonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, full name Lucyna Kushinada, raised and controlled from a young age by the Arasaka corporation to become an elite Netrunner. She is cool-headed, fiercely independent, and highly aggressive — capable of directly infiltrating enemy systems through cyberspace while engaging in close combat with a Monowire.
Her outwardly cold yet inwardly passionate personality, combined with her desperate yearning for freedom, makes her one of the most memorable characters in the anime.
In Wuthering Waves, Lucy is expected to debut as a Spectro Pistol character, carrying over her high-speed, precision-focused combat style from the source material — single-target burst damage, tight rhythm, and a gameplay feel that rewards active engagement. As a collab limited character, she is almost certainly not getting a rerun, making 3.4 the only known window to obtain her.
Rebecca — Kit & Playstyle
| Rebecca Overview | |||
Origin: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Affiliation: Night City / Maine's Crew Role in Anime: Gunfighter / Crew Support Collab Type: Limited — Possibly Free How to Obtain: 3.4 Banner / Event |  | ||
| Rarity | Element | Weapon | Role |
| ★★★★★ | Havoc | Pistol | Support |
| Playstyle | Best Partners | ||
| Aggressive burst damage / dual-gun chaos style | TBC | ||
Rebecca is a member of Maine's crew in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, nicknamed "the Mad Dog," known for her wild personality and all-out fighting style. Small in stature but overwhelming in firepower, she excels at dual-wielding pistols and close-quarters brawling, with an unshakeable loyalty to her crewmates. She is one of the most beloved supporting characters in the anime — and despite limited screen time, every single one of her scenes leaves a lasting impression.
In Wuthering Waves, Rebecca is expected to debut as a Havoc Pistol character, filling a burst Support role that mirrors her chaotic source material — high burst, high mobility, and dramatic flair. Notably, current leaks suggest she may be obtainable for free through an event — if true, you can save all your Astrite for Lucy. Official confirmation on her acquisition method is still pending.
Is Rebecca Free? What We Know
Based on current community leaks, Rebecca is likely obtainable for free through a limited-time event in version 3.4 — a claim cited across multiple sources. Wuthering Waves has precedent for giving away collab characters through events, lending some credibility to the rumor, though there has been no official confirmation.
It's worth planning for both scenarios: if Rebecca ends up being free, you can concentrate all your resources on Lucy and Lucilla; if she requires pulling, you'll need to weigh priorities across all three characters — see the pull strategy section below for detailed recommendations. Either way, it's not advisable to reserve a large amount of resources specifically for her until the official livestream confirms the details.
Wuthering Waves 3.4 New Resonator: Lucilla
Character Background
Lucilla has been a prominent presence in the main story since version 3.0, appearing as the Principal of Startorch Academy and one of the most impactful NPCs throughout the Lahai-Roi arc. In version 3.1, she joined Rover and Luuk in investigating the Fractsidus infiltration of the academy, demonstrating a composed yet commanding leadership style.
What truly won players over was version 3.2. In the fourth main story chapter, Fractsidus attempted to break her by weaponizing traumatic memories from her past — only to be met with her completely unshaken resolve. The moment painted a remarkably three-dimensional portrait of her character.
The side quest Rabbit Reflected in Shades in the same version further fleshed out her relationship with Hiyuki, laying the groundwork for her 3.4 debut. The event Whispers Between Stars even dedicated five standalone chapters to her story alone — making her one of the most narratively developed NPCs in the game.
Players have had three full versions to get to know her. Now, she's finally arriving as a playable character.
Kit & Role (Glacio Sub-DPS)
Lucilla is expected to serve as the core Sub-DPS for Glacio teams, providing Glacio damage amplification and sustained off-field pressure for the main carry. Current leaks position her as Hiyuki's best-in-slot partner — Hiyuki handles the burst output while Lucilla stacks buffs from off-field, a pairing widely regarded as the ceiling configuration for Glacio teams.
Best Team Compositions for Lucilla
Lucilla's arrival is expected to meaningfully raise the ceiling for Glacio teams. Below are the two main team directions predicted based on current leaks — whether you pulled Hiyuki in 3.3 or only have Carlotta, Lucilla has a place to shine in both lineups.
🧊 Hiyuki Core Team — Best-in-Slot (v3.4+)
🧊 Carlotta Transition Team — No Hiyuki Required
All team compositions above are based on current leak predictions — actual synergy will depend on officially released skill data. If you already have Hiyuki, Lucilla is practically a must-pull: their partnership has been set up both narratively and in combat design, and all that's left is for her to officially arrive.
Pull Strategy: Lucy vs. Rebecca vs. Lucilla — Who Should You Pull?
All three characters in version 3.4 have compelling reasons to pull for — but Astrite is finite. Both Lucy and Lucilla are limited characters, and collab characters are almost certainly not getting reruns, making the resource pressure in 3.4 the heaviest of any recent Wuthering Waves version.
The table below offers recommendations based on different player situations to help you figure out your priorities before the banners go live.
| Your Situation | Recommendation | Reason |
| No Glacio main DPS, but pulled Hiyuki in 3.3 | Lucilla First | Directly completes Hiyuki's best-in-slot partner slot, instantly reaching the Glacio team ceiling. |
| Fan of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and want to collect the collab characters | Lucy First | Collab limited with almost no chance of a rerun — miss her now and she's likely gone for good. |
| Rebecca is confirmed free | Lucy + Lucilla | Focus resources on the two paid characters and grab Rebecca for free from the event. |
| Rebecca requires pulling | Choose one: Lucy or Lucilla | Decide based on your roster needs — pick Lucilla if your Glacio team is weak, pick Lucy if the collab matters more. |
| Limited resources — only enough to guarantee one character | Lucilla | More durable combat value, fits into existing Glacio compositions, and doesn't rely on a specific collab context. |
| Didn't pull Hiyuki in 3.3 | Lucy | Lucilla's value is tied to having a Glacio main DPS — without Hiyuki or Carlotta, Lucy's standalone performance is higher. |
F2P Astrite Budget Reference
Over a standard 42-day version cycle, F2P players can expect to accumulate approximately 78–102 pulls.
Version 3.3, being the anniversary update, is expected to offer an additional 30–50+ pulls in bonuses — meaning active F2P players heading into 3.4 should have around 50–65 pulls saved from 3.3 alone.
Combined with any Astrite carried over from 3.3, most players should be able to guarantee at least one character in 3.4. If your goal is both Lucy and Lucilla, start saving strictly now and avoid overspending in 3.3.
What Comes After 3.4
After 3.4 wraps up, leaks suggest Version 3.5 will bring the main story back to Huanglong, introducing Yangyang SP (Havoc upgrade) and new character Suisui (likely Glacio support). Version 3.6 may mark the official opening of the Mengzhou region, with Sentinel Hsin expected to make her debut.
For players thinking long-term, the versions after 3.4 are worth keeping an eye on — if you're a Yangyang fan or excited for the Mengzhou arc, consider holding back some resources after 3.4 to stay prepared.
