Wuthering Waves 3.8 Rate Up Banners – Best Banners To Roll On

Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Rate Up Banners – Which Banner To Roll On

The first phase banners for version Update 3.8 of Wuthering Waves will last for 21 days from the start of the version update patch. The first phase banners will feature the brand new 5-star Electro Rectifier Resonator Lily, the returning 5-Star Aero Gauntlets character Sigrika and the returning 5-Star Aero Sword Character Qiuyuan alongside their signature weapons

Lily

Lily is an upcoming 5-Star Resonator of the Spectro Element that uses pistols as her main weapons. She specializes in providing the team with powerful damage boosting effects whenever allies’ Intro Skills are triggered while also providing healing to the entire team and dealing constant off-field damage to enemies.

Lily’s skill kit and abilities are quite simple: she is a powerful support sustain character that is capable of boosting the damage output of Unison characters based on the number of Intro Skill triggered by other allies when she is on the field. She can also enter a special state that allows her to still remain on the field constantly attacking enemies and restoring health to the team with her Resonance Liberation.

Lily’s main effect comes from her Forte Gauge, which allows Lily herself to use different types of Heavy Attacks in order to accumulate her Forte Gauge Energy. By using her heavy attack, Lily can continuously gain Forte Energy while attacking enemies and pulling them together and once full, Lily can release her Heavy attack to deal a devastating attack onto the enemies and grants herself the special Silage Effect. When using her outro skill with Silage, Lily will consume Silage to grant other Resonators in the team a special field effect that boost their damage output whenever they use their Intro Skill or trigger Unison Response, boosting their damage output.

Upon using her Resonance Liberation, Lily will enter a special Slumberland state and grant the Cradle Lullaby effect to the team. While in Slumberland, Lily will continuously deal Spectro damage to enemies with her range and continuously heal allies. If the player switches to another Resonator, Lily will still remain on the field and take no damage from any sources. When granted Cradle Lullaby, each Intro Skill triggered by the team through concerto or Unison effects will grant the team a stack of attack boost, maximizing the team’s damage output. Additionally, upon using her Outro Skill, Lily will grant the entire team a 25% All Damage Boost effect as well.

Pull Rating: 10/10. A Versatile And Powerful Support Sustain Character

Lily is a very powerful sustain support character that can be fit into any team thanks to her powerful universal damage buff and healing effects in addition to constant off-field damage output. She excels greatly in Unison teams, however, her skill kit is universal enough to make her on par with the best healers in the game like Shorekeeper and more, so players should roll for her if they are able to as an investment for team building.

Sigrika

Sigrika is a 5-star Resonator of the Aero Element. She uses gauntlets as her main weapons and specializes in dealing Echoes Skill Damage to massive groups of enemies while also crowd controlling them, making her a very powerful Echo Skill Damage Main DPS character. 

Sigrika is a Echoes Skill Damage Main DPS character who focuses on dealing as much damage to enemies as possible with her Basic Attacks, Heavy Attacks and Resonance Skill combos in order to gain special Runes that can massively enhance her overall damage dealt. She also gains immense benefits whenever other Resonators in the team use Echoes Skill Damage to enemies.

Sigrika’s main gameplay revolves around her special Runes, which is divided into 2 different types: Rune: Trust, which she can gain from performing her Basic Attack combo strings, or Rune: Answer, which she can gain by using Resonance Skill on enemies. Once she has at least 2 Runes, she can consume the Runes to trigger her Heavy Attack, dealing massive amounts of Echoes Skill Damage to enemies, with the Heavy Attack being further enhanced based on the types of Runes Sigrika consumed. 

While attacking enemies, Sigrika will also accumulate Fullstop Points. Upon reaching a certain amount of Full Stop Point, Sigrika will be able to consume them to use enhanced Resonance Skill, dealing more damage and turning the damage from her Resonance Skill into Echoes Skill Damage. Additionally, whenever allies use Echoes Skill Damage, Sigrika will also gain special points that will automatically be spent while she uses her Heavy Attack, massively enhancing her damage output upon spending these points.

Finally, Sigrika’s Resonance Liberation and Intro Skill both deal Aero Damage to enemies and grants her 2 different effects: Convergent and Divergent. Convergent allows Sigrika to gain an additional same type Rune whenever she gains a Rune, while Divergent grants her an opposite type rune when she gains a Rune. This massively helps Sigrika to improve her damage rotation and allow her to gain Runes much more comfortably.

Pull Rating: 8/10. A Powerfully DPS Character for An Archetype That Is Not Supported Frequently.

While Sigrika is a very powerful Echoes Skill Damage DPS character, a type of damage that is very powerful in the game overall, she requires a decent amount of investment and good support partners to actually become a strong enough DPS character for the modern meta of the game. Additionally, Echoes Skill support characters and echoes set are rarely released in the game, with a lot of the game’s contents not having buffs for Echoes Skill damage teams as well, making it a relatively harder to invest team overall.

That being said, if players like Sigrika’s playstyle or like the Echoes Skill Damage team, getting her is highly recommended due to how much Echoes Skill Damage output Sigrika can do to enemies.

Qiuyuan

Qiuyuan is a 5-Star Character of the Aero element that wields a sword as his main weapon. He specializes in quickly taking the field to deal Echo Skill damage to enemies and buff the entire team’s Echo Skill damage output with his Outro Skill.

Qiuyuan’s skill kit revolves around his heavy attack, which allows him to quickly dash around the field to deal damage to enemies within a wide area. The damage Qiuyuan deals is considered Echo Skill Damage. Upon using his Enhanced Heavy Attack 3 times against enemies, Qiuyuan will be able to fill his Resonance Liberation Gauge and fill his Concerto Gauge.

Upon using his Ultimate, Qiuyuan will deal a massive instance of Aero damage that is considered Echo Skill Damage to all enemies and increases the critical damage for the entire team while also filling his Concerto Gauge. Upon switching out, Qiuyuan grants the entire team a boost in Echo Skill Damage.

Pull Rating: 6/10. A Decent But Flawed Sub DPS/ Support Character For The Echo Skill Damage Team

Qiuyuan’s skill kit is extremely simple in nature, making him a very player friendly character to learn and use. However, his role as a Sub DPS and Support for the Echo Skill Damage team is very shaky as the team itself doesn’t really receive much support or seasonal buffs. Additionally, Qiuyuan himself doesn’t provide that much buff to the team’s Echo Skill damage when compared to characters like Lucilla, which is somewhat compensated by his above average damage output for a sub DPS character.

If you want to make an Echo Skill Damage team and don’t have a dedicated support yet, rolling for Qiuyuan can be considered. However, Qiuyuan by himself doesn’t do much in the game’s meta when not used in a proper team.

Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Second Phase Rate Up Banners – Which Banner To Roll On

The second phase rate up banners for Wuthering Waves version 3.8 starts right after the first phase ends and will last until the end of the patch, lasting for 21 days. The 2nd phase banners will feature the return of the 5-Star Havoc Sword Character Yangyang: Xuanling, the 5-Star Glacio Rectifier Character Suisui and the 5-Star Glacio Sword Character Hiyuki.

Yangyang: Xuanling

Yangyang: Xuanling is a 5-Star Resonator of the Havoc Element and wields a sword as her main weapon, and specializes in inflicting and consuming Havoc Bane stacks on enemies in order to deal powerful damage to them.

Yangyang: Xuanling’s skill kit boils down mainly into 2 gimmicks: She can switch between 2 different forms in battle to perform different types of sword combos, dealing Heavy Attack Damage and she can inflict and consume Havoc Bane on enemies in order to strengthen her damage while in the different sword stances.

Yangyang: Xuanling has 2 different sword stances: Azure and Feather, with each sword stance allowing her to perform a set of different combos damage to enemies, dealing Heavy Attack Damage. She can switch between these two sword stance using her Resonance Skill at ease. 

Upon doing her combo Yangyang: Xuanling can inflict Havoc Bane on enemies and consume stacks of Havoc Bane on enemies to enhance her Damage output, allowing her to use special Heavy Attacks with different forms thanks to her Forte Circuit. Additionally, while doing her attacks, whenever an ally inflicts Havoc Bane onto enemies, she will gain additional buffs to her damage and allows her to generate more Melody and Azure Feather stacks, which can be consumed to further enhance her damage output.

Pull Rating: 9/10 A Powerful Negative Status Main DPS Character

Yangyang: Xuanling is a very easy to use Main DPS character with a simple but effective skill kit and a gimmick that will be supported quite thoroughly in the future in the form of her Negative Status Havoc Bane playstyle. If players do not have a dedicated Havoc DPS character, getting her is highly recommended as she can be used to easily clear all of the game’s contents with ease.

Suisui

Suisui is a 5-Star Resonator of the Glacio Element and wields a rectifier as her main weapon type. She function primarily as a support sustain character that can inflict Glacio Chafe onto enemies and helps boost the damage output and grants special effects to any Negative Status teams thanks to her powerful Resonance Liberation Zone.

Suisui’s skill kit focuses around her recovering Stillness points through her various attacks in order to allow her to activate her enhanced Resonance Skill, allowing her to enter the Cleansing Rain state and deal more damage. She can also inflict Glacio Chafe onto enemies and enhances the Negative Statuses effects when she has her Resonance Liberation Zone up.

Once she has accumulated enough concerto energy, using her Resonance Liberation will allow Suisui to create a special zone. When the zone is active, whenever the team inflicts different types of Negative Statuses on the enemies, the Negative Statuses will gain additional effects and damage boost based on the type of Negative Statuses, making Suisui into somewhat of a universal support for any Negative Status team. Additionally, Suisui’s Inherent Skills allows her to heal the team and prevent an ally from dying by sacrificing her own HP, making her a very strong sustain character to have.

Pull Rating: 10/10 For Negative Status Consumption Teams, 8/10 As a Generic Support Character

Suisui is a character whose skill kit mainly revolves around sustaining and buffing the various upcoming Negative Status based Main DPS Characters that consumes the Negative Status stacks on enemies in order to strengthen their damage output, making her more of an investment character to pull for to be used in future team comps or alongside Yangyang: Xuanling. Her support capabilities are quite high despite her long ramp up time and she can be a very powerful potential character similar to Chisa.

Hiyuki

Hiyuki is a 5-star Resonator of the Cryo Element and wields a Sword as her main weapon. She serves as the brand new Main DPS character for the Cryo element whose skill kit revolves around dealing massive amounts of Basic Attacks to enemies and inflicting Glacio Bite onto the enemies, dealing more damage to enemies with Glacio Bite.

Hiyuki’s skill kit revolves around players accumulating as much Forte Gauge energy as possible using her Basic Attacks while dealing Cryo damage to enemies. Then upon accumulating enough Forte Gauge, Hiyuki’s Resonance Liberation is available, allowing her to enter a special enhanced mode and dealing more damage to enemies. Hiyuki’s skill kit also allows her to inflict Glacio Bite and allow her to consume Glacio Bite in order to deal more damage against enemies and inflict the Frostbite debuff on enemies.

When using Hiyuki’s Basic Attacks, players will be able to accumulate Dedication Forte Gauge stacks and gain more damage bonus the more Gauge she has. Once her Dedication Gauge is full, her Heavy Attack will be massively enhanced and her Resonance Liberation will become available for players to use. Once used, Hiyuki will enter a special Enhanced Mode that allows her to massively enhance the damage output of all of her skills and abilities.

Pull Rating: 10/10. One Of The Most Powerful DPS Characters In The Game

With the release of Hiyuki’s full team that allows Hiyuki to fully unleash her damage potential, she has solidified herself as one of the most powerful DPS characters in the game. If players want to invest in a strong DPS character for endgame contents, Hiyuki is important
