Leaked Character Banners by Phase
The leaked lineup places Lily's debut alongside Sigrika and Qiuyuan reruns in Phase 1, followed by three 5-star reruns in Phase 2. The two phases feature options for Echo Skill and Negative Status teams, respectively.
Phase 1: Lily, Sigrika, and Qiuyuan
Lily is reportedly a Spectro healer and buffer. Sigrika is an Aero main DPS built around Echo Skill DMG, while Qiuyuan is an Aero sub-DPS who provides Echo Skill DMG Amplification.
Qiuyuan's amplification complements Sigrika's damage profile, forming the main synergy in this lineup. Lily could add healing and buffs, although her exact contribution to Echo Skill teams will depend on her final effects and activation conditions.
Phase 2: Hiyuki, Yangyang: Xuanling, and Suisui
Hiyuki is a Glacio main DPS, while Yangyang: Xuanling is a Havoc main DPS built around Heavy Attacks and Havoc Bane. Suisui combines healing with damage amplification, primarily supporting Negative Status teams.
Suisui has a separate pairing with each carry: she can support Hiyuki's Glacio Chafe setup or Yangyang: Xuanling's Havoc Bane setup. Phase 2 therefore offers two different team-building paths.
Reported 4-Star Lineup
| Banner Phase | Reported Featured 4-Stars |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Youhu, Aalto, Yangyang |
| Phase 2 | Danjin, Baizhi, Yuanwu |
The Yangyang listed for Phase 1 is the original 4-star character, separate from the 5-star Yangyang: Xuanling expected in Phase 2. Duplicate copies of 4-star Yangyang do not unlock Xuanling's Resonance Chain nodes.
Lily’s Leaked Kit and Gameplay Role
Lily is reportedly a healer and buffer with sustained off-field healing, and both her healing and damage scale with Max HP. Her team value depends on more than healing output: buff conditions and the interaction between her kit, signature weapon, and Echo set also matter.
Character Profile: Rarity, Attribute, and Weapon
| Character Image | Category | Details |
|---|---|---|
 | Rarity | 5-star |
| Attribute | Spectro | |
| Weapon | Pistols | |
| Reported role | Off-field healer and team buffer | |
| Primary scaling stat | Max HP, affecting both healing and damage | |
| Background | A perfumer from the Federated Cities |
Max HP is a key build stat for Lily, so an ATK-focused Pistols build is not a direct fit. Her main team contribution is healing and buffs, with compatibility depending on buff conditions and the rotation.
Healing, Buffs, and Resource Management
Lily's leaked gameplay revolves around Dream Perfume: she builds it on-field, spends it through channeled Heavy Attacks to support healing and buffs, then continues healing the active character after swapping out.
- Building resources: Dream Perfume caps at 300 and can be generated through Basic Attacks, Mid-air Attacks, Dodge Counters, and her Resonance Skill.
- Spending resources: Channeled Heavy Attacks consume Dream Perfume, providing healing, grouping enemies, and setting up team buffs.
- Off-field healing: After swapping out, Lily reportedly heals the active character every 3 seconds, sustaining the main DPS while they remain on-field.
- HP scaling: Both healing and damage scale with Max HP, so building HP supports both sustain and damage.
In practice, watch how much field time she needs to build resources and how quickly she can return control to the main DPS after her Heavy Attack. Assess buff conditions and coverage separately, keeping her kit, weapon, and Echo set effects distinct.
Unison Support Versus Echo Skill Support
One reason Lily may fit Unison teams is her gear synergy: healing can activate effects from Lullaby and Flower of Tinged Yearning, with additional ATK buffs tied to Unison conditions. Those benefits come from her equipment and should not all be attributed to her kit.
For Echo Skill teams, distinguish ATK buffs from Echo Skill DMG Amplification. Qiuyuan provides the latter, while Lily can add healing and team buffs. Whether she directly amplifies Sigrika's Echo Skill DMG requires her final skill text; a proposed team alone does not establish her as a dedicated Echo Skill support.
Potential Teams and Rotation Requirements
Two potential lineups are worth watching for Lily, covering Unison and Echo Skill teams:
| Potential Team | Lily's Role | Rotation Priorities |
|---|---|---|
| Hsin + Suoming + Lily | Provide healing and activate weapon and Echo set buffs | Check whether Unison conditions can be met consistently and buffs cover the main DPS's damage window |
| Sigrika + Qiuyuan + Lily | Provide healing and additional buffs, while Qiuyuan supplies Echo Skill DMG Amplification | Limit resource-building and Heavy Attack field time to preserve Sigrika's damage window |
A preliminary rotation is: build Dream Perfume → use a Heavy Attack to set up healing and buffs → swap to the DPS. Adjust Energy Regen around how often she needs her Resonance Liberation. Exact Energy Regen targets, skill order, and rotation length still require testing.
Lily's Character Design in WuWa 3.8
Lily has long lavender hair with white flowers tucked into it. Her layered purple-and-white dress, ruffled details, and pale boots give her a soft Gothic look.
From the side and back, her flowing hair and trailing skirt create a slender silhouette. The flowers, bows, and layers of fabric add details that stand out from every angle.
Signature Weapons and Early Build Preparation
Lily's early build priorities are HP, Energy Regen, and meeting buff conditions. Both Lullaby and Flower of Tinged Yearning involve healing and Unison synergy, but the weapon values and banner placements below remain leaks or predictions.
Lily’s Reported Signature: Lullaby
Lullaby is reportedly a 5-star Pistols weapon. Its leaked stats focus on energy and support, helping Lily generate Concerto Energy and provide additional ATK buffs.
| Category | Leaked Value or Effect |
|---|---|
| Base ATK at Level 90 | 413 |
| Energy Regen at Level 90 | 77.04% |
| HP bonus | Increases Max HP by 12% |
| Concerto Energy restoration | Using Resonance Liberation restores 8 Concerto Energy, up to once every 20 seconds |
| Healing-triggered effect | Healing grants the entire team Soothed Soul for 30 seconds |
| Unison-related buff | During Soothed Soul, gaining Unison or triggering Unison Response grants 16% ATK for 7 seconds |
The weapon's main value lies in Energy Regen, Concerto restoration, and team buffs. If you skip it, reassess Liberation availability and whether your Concerto generation supports the intended swap timing. Base ATK alone will not capture the difference.
Expected Rerun Weapon Banners
If the leaked character lineup holds, their signature weapons are expected to rerun alongside them. The table below lists the five returning characters and their weapons; phase placements still await the banner announcement.
| Expected Phase | Character | Signature Weapon | Weapon Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Sigrika | Solsworn Ciphers | Gauntlets |
| Phase 1 | Qiuyuan | Emerald Sentence | Sword |
| Phase 2 | Hiyuki | Frostburn | Sword |
| Phase 2 | Yangyang: Xuanling | Azure Oath | Sword |
| Phase 2 | Suisui | Firstlight’s Herald | Rectifier |
Before pulling a weapon, confirm that its character has a place in your regular teams, then compare it with what you already own. For supports, consider buff coverage and smoother rotations as well as the weapon's stats.
Echo Set Compatibility and Farming Priorities
Flower of Tinged Yearning is a candidate worth considering. Healing activates its initial team buff, while an additional bonus requires Unison conditions. Check whether your intended team can activate both parts.
- 2-piece bonus: Increases Healing Bonus by 10%.
- 5-piece base effect: When the wearer heals a teammate, the entire team gains 10% ATK for 30 seconds.
- Additional effect: If the wearer gains Unison or triggers Unison Response during that buff, the entire team gains a further 15% ATK.
For early farming, keep the following stats and resources available, then refine the build once her final kit and tested rotations are available:
- HP% rolls: These match her reported HP scaling and can form the basis of an initial healing build.
- Energy Regen rolls: Keep options available so you can adjust for your weapon and Liberation frequency.
- Usable sets you already own: Check your inventory before spending Waveplates to avoid farming pieces you already have.
- Upgrade materials: Keep promising Echoes, then commit enhancement resources once main-stat priorities and set activation conditions are clear.
Hiyuki’s Rumored Outfit
Hiyuki is rumored to receive a 4-star outfit in Version 3.8. The leaked design uses Japanese-inspired styling with black fabric, gold accents, and floral details, with both a white-and-pale-blue palette and a darker version reported.
- Outfit design: A black kimono-style top with gold trim, a long layered skirt with ruffled edges, and a new floral headpiece.
- Accessories: A translucent blue folding fan appears in the promotional imagery, contrasting with Hiyuki's white hair and red eyes.
- Two-color rumor: Some reports describe the palettes as her base form and post-Liberation form, although the switching mechanic remains unconfirmed.
- Estimated price: Around 1,980–2,480 Lunites, based on previous 4-star outfit pricing. This is an estimate, not an announced price.
Reports about skill effects remain inconsistent, so new VFX should not be treated as guaranteed. If you want both Hiyuki and the outfit, budget character pulls and Lunites separately so the cosmetic purchase does not reduce your character guarantee fund.
Should You Pull in WuWa 3.8 or Save for Version 4.0?
Your Version 3.8 priorities should follow the gaps in your existing teams. Based on the leaked lineup, focus first on characters who can immediately join your regular teams, then consider signature weapons and Resonance Chain upgrades.
| Your Roster | Pull Priority |
|---|---|
| You have Hsin and Suoming but lack a suitable healer | Watch Lily, checking whether her healing, buff conditions, and rotation fit the Unison team |
| You have Sigrika but lack Qiuyuan | Prioritize evaluating Qiuyuan for his Echo Skill DMG Amplification |
| You have Qiuyuan and want to build an Echo Skill team | Consider Sigrika, accounting for the healer slot and the full team's build cost |
| You have Hiyuki or Yangyang: Xuanling but lack a compatible support | Watch Suisui for improvements to Negative Status synergy and team sustain |
| You need a Glacio or Havoc main DPS | Choose between Hiyuki and Yangyang: Xuanling based on your existing supports and weapons |
| Your regular teams are complete, with no clear gaps | Save resources and reassess when Version 4.0 characters and banners are revealed |
Choose between Lily and Suisui around your main DPS, rather than healing output alone. Lily is worth watching for Unison and Echo Skill setups, while Suisui is more closely tied to Negative Status teams. If you already have reliable healing, compare buffs and rotation benefits.
If resources are limited, set your character targets first, then budget separately for weapons, Resonance Chain upgrades, and outfits. With Version 4.0 details still incomplete, keeping some pulls in reserve gives you more options when later characters are revealed.
Conclusion
Version 3.8's main attractions are Lily, five expected reruns, and Hiyuki's new outfit. Phase 1 leans toward Echo Skill teams, while Phase 2 offers damage dealers and supports for Negative Status setups, giving players options to complete existing teams.
If your roster has a clear gap, evaluate the character who fills it; if your teams are complete, saving remains an option. Base your final decision on the released skill descriptions, character trials, and tested rotations before committing your full budget.
