WuWa Hsin Materials Guide: Wuthering Waves Hsin Ascension, Skill & Weapon Farm (3.7)

Who is Hsin and Why Her Materials Matter

Hsin the Moon Fox, first playable Sentinel of Huanglong is a 5-star Electro Rectifier arriving in Wuthering Waves Version 3.7 on Phase 1 alongside Iuno and Chisa reruns. She scales on ATK and Resonance Skill DMG, swaps between Answering Form and Illumining Form, and splits her playstyle between Unison team buffs and Electro Flare personal damage.

That kit is hungry. A full Wuthering Waves Hsin materials plan is not “level her when you can.” It is 2.53 million Shell Credits across character, Forte, and signature weapon, a Kernel farm that overlaps with her own Mengzhou enemies, a weekly boss you cannot pre-farm, and a local specialty that does not exist on the live map until 3.7 goes live.

Wuthering Waves Hsin Materials: Full Cost at a Glance

If you want Hsin at Level 90, every Forte node maxed, and Blooming Jadehaven at Level 90, this is the combined bill.

Skip the Exoswarm Cores and the extra 6 / 8 / 6 / 20 Strings if you are not pulling Blooming Jadehaven. Skip nothing else if you intend to play her as a main DPS.

The heaviest single item is Melodic String ×87. The heaviest weekly bottleneck is Remnant of the Wheel ×26. The item you cannot even start until patch day is Bloom of Hearkening ×60.

Wuthering Waves Hsin Ascension Materials (Level 1–90)

Wuthering Waves Hsin ascension materials are the first wall after you win the 50/50. The character climb costs 170,000 Shell Credits, a short Kernel ladder, 46 world-boss drops, and 60 local specialties.

So, the total ascension list is:

Rank-by-rank ascension materials to focus on are:

Ascension bonuses currently for build cards are 8% Crit Rate and 12% ATK. That is why rushing Rank 6 is not vanity as it is Hsin’s first real Crit floor before Echoes even come online.

Hsin Skill Materials (Full Forte)

Forte is where Wuthering Waves Hsin materials stop being a weekend project. Skill upgrades eat 2,030,000 Shell Credits, the bulk of her Autopuppet Kernels, every String tier, and all 26 weekly-boss drops.

So, the total Forte list is as follows:

Where those Forte Materials Actually Go

• Main nodes (all five skills, Lv. 1 → 10): Spliced String ×25, Broken String ×25, Solidified String ×40, Melodic String ×55, LF / MF / HF Autopuppet Kernel ×25 each, FF Autopuppet Kernel ×45, Remnant of the Wheel ×20, Shell Credit ×1,400,000
• Stat Bonus 1: Solidified String ×12, HF Autopuppet Kernel ×12, Shell Credit ×200,000
• Stat Bonus 2: Melodic String ×12, FF Autopuppet Kernel ×12, Remnant of the Wheel ×4, Shell Credit ×400,000
• Inherent Skill 1: Broken String ×3, MF Autopuppet Kernel ×3, Remnant of the Wheel ×1, Shell Credit ×10,000
• Inherent Skill 2: Solidified String ×3, HF Autopuppet Kernel ×3, Remnant of the Wheel ×1, Shell Credit ×20,000

One Main-Node Ladder

If Waveplates are tight, do not max Basic Attack first. Hsin’s damage lives in Resonance Skill, Forte Circuit, and Liberation. A practical spend order for a Skill DPS is:

1. Resonance Skill
2. Forte Circuit
3. Resonance Liberation
4. Intro Skill
5. Basic Attack last
6. Inherent Skills and Stat Bonus nodes once the three damage skills sit at 8–10

Hsin Weapon Materials: Blooming Jadehaven

Hsin’s signature Rectifier, Blooming Jadehaven, is a separate 330,000 Shell Credit project. You can just skip this block if you are parking her on Cosmic Ripples, Stringmaster, or Fusion Accretion.

Exoswarm Cores drop as side loot on the same Forgery run that feeds her String line if you claim Lesson in Sunset. That is the one case where the Lahai-Roi Forgery is more efficient than Mengzhou’s Silent Chasm.

Where to Farm Every WuWa Hsin Material

This is the part most listicles skip. A WuWa Hsin materials guide is useless if you still do not know which domain, boss, or bush to open. So, where to farm these materials? Following are your ways:

Autopuppet Kernels (LF / MF / HF / FF)

Where: Autopuppet Tacet Discords across Mengzhou and Xuanfang Hold.

Enemies that drop them:

• Porcelain Picket
• Stone Picket
• Aureate Picket
• Kernel Puppet: Fright, Grief, Reflection, Worry, Anger, Joy
• Fog Lionarch (Head / Body)
• Forbidden Bastion

Kernels feed both ascension and Forte, so this is the first overworld loop you should be running on leftover exploration time. Higher-SOL enemies drop higher tiers; do not sit on LF stacks hoping they convert themselves.

Solidarity’s Loneflame (World Boss)

• Boss: Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis
• Region: Western Fang Peaks, Xuanfang, Mengzhou
• Unlock: Chapter 4 Act 1, The Wind Before the Storm

You need 46 copies. That is many Waveplate claims on a single world boss, so start now. The same Loneflame is also used by other Mengzhou-era Resonators, which is why the boss has been a pre-farm target since 3.6.

Bloom of Hearkening (Local Specialty)

• Status: Version 3.7 only.
• Expected zone: Simulacrum Nexus of Mengzhou (Manifold Sanctum).
• Also listed: Huaxu Academy / Apothecary after the patch.

You need 60. You cannot collect a single one until 3.7 drops. The correct play is to finish every other farm first, then spend day-one exploration stamina on the new specialty nodes instead of burning plates on domains you already cleared.

String Materials (Spliced / Broken / Solidified / Melodic)

Two Forgery Challenges drop the full String line:

Silent Chasm’s Sonoro Sphere currently buffs the team after Electro Flare, which is also a free rehearsal for Hsin’s own kit. Lesson in Sunset is the weapon-farm domain. Run Silent Chasm until Kernels and Strings are comfortable, then swap to Lesson in Sunset only if the signature weapon is coming home.

Strings can also be synthesized upward and appear in Lahai-Roi Supply Packs. Synthesis is for leftover low-tier overflow, not a primary plan.

Remnant of the Wheel (Weekly Boss)

• Status: New Version 3.7 weekly boss, expected inside the Simulacrum Nexus.
• Need: 26.

Twenty-six weekly drops is roughly nine weeks at three claims per week if you never miss a reset and never get unlucky. You cannot pre-farm this. The only mitigation is to have every other Forte material sitting in the bag so each weekly drop immediately becomes a node instead of sitting unused.

Shell Credits

2.53 million is the quiet killer. Simulation Training, overworld chests, events, and the usual credit domains all count. Do not assume the 170,000 ascension number is “the expensive part.” Forte is twelve times that.

Pre-Farm Plan Before Version 3.7

Version 3.7 launches September 30, 2026. As of this writing you still have a short window. Use it like this:

Farm now (live on the current map):

• Autopuppet Kernels to the full 29 / 40 / 52 / 61 split
• Solidarity’s Loneflame ×46
• String line to 31 / 36 / 61 / 87 if the weapon is also a target; 25 / 28 / 55 / 67 if it is not
• Exoswarm Cores 6 / 6 / 10 / 12 if Blooming Jadehaven is planned
• Shell Credits toward 2.53 million
• Resonator EXP and weapon EXP so Level 90 is not a second project after materials

Farm on patch day:

• Bloom of Hearkening ×60 from the new Mengzhou specialty nodes
• Remnant of the Wheel every weekly reset

Priority if you only have a few days of plates:

1. Loneflame (longest live boss grind)
2. FF / HF Autopuppet Kernels
3. Melodic String
4. Credits
5. Weapon Cores last

Do not dump Waveplates into Bloom of Hearkening guides that promise live nodes. Those nodes are not in the game yet.

What to Build After the Materials Are In

Materials get Hsin onto the field. The kit decides whether she stays there. Hsin wants Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Resonance Skill DMG, and enough Energy Regen to keep Liberation on a clean cycle (community builds currently start around 125% ER). Her dedicated 3.7 Echo set is Heart of Sworn Vigil; Void Thunder is the stand-in until that set is farmable.

Premium teams forming around her are Hsin + Suoming + Shorekeeper for Unison, with Electro Flare variants swapping the third slot based on who can feed Flare stacks. If you are already planning that core, go through our Suoming Build Guide next as Suoming is the other 3.7 Electro 5-star, she shares the same Heart of Sworn Vigil direction, and building her after Hsin is how the Unison package actually functions. Shorekeeper remains the default premium sustain.

A Level 90 Hsin with a Level 70 weapon and a half-built Suoming is how most accounts waste a Phase 1 banner. If the remaining concern is Convenes for Hsin, Blooming Jadehaven, or Suoming, not the Kernel stack sitting in your bag, top up through Enjoygm, convert Lunites on the UID, and spend the next week of plates on Remnant of the Wheel instead of staring at an empty Astrite counter.

Conclusion

That is everything for the Wuwa Hsin materials guide. Farm the live items this week. Clear the 3.7 specialty and weekly boss the moment the Simulacrum Nexus unlocks. If Hsin is on your account at Level 90 with Skill 10 on the nodes that actually deal damage, the banner did its job.
