Wuthering Waves Version 3.6 released on August 20, 2026. Kuro Games confirmed the date at the 3.6 Preview Special Broadcast on August 7, about two weeks ahead of launch, and the version shipped as "Lamplight in Mirage, Sword's Resolve in Heart".
It is also over. Version 3.6's last Convene closed on September 29, 2026, and Version 3.7 took over on September 30. If you landed here looking for something to pull, the current Convene schedule is the page you want. What follows is the record of what 3.6 actually contained, which is harder to find than it should be once a patch rolls off the trackers.
The full 3.6 Convene schedule
Both phases, both debuts, and every signature weapon with the Resonator it belongs to:
| Phase | Ran | Resonators | Weapon Convene |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | August 20 to September 10 | Qingxiao (debut), Denia rerun | Glint of Clouds (Qingxiao), Forged Dwarf Star (Denia) |
| Phase 2 | September 10 to September 29 | Jingran (debut), Hiyuki and Mornye reruns | Thousandfold Deliverance (Jingran), Frostburn (Hiyuki), Starfield Calibrator (Mornye) |
Two debuts in one version is the detail worth noting, because it is a heavy ask on a free-to-play Astrite reserve and Kuro has kept doing it since: Version 3.7 ran Hsin and then Suoming the same way.
Qingxiao and Jingran, as they shipped
Our July preview broke down both kits from leaks before the broadcast. The final versions matched on the fundamentals:
- Qingxiao is a 5-star Aero Resonator on Sword, built as a damage dealer, and she headlined Phase 1 from August 20.
- Jingran is a 5-star Fusion Resonator on Broadblade, a main-DPS carry, and she took Phase 2 from September 10.
Neither has rerun yet. Wuthering Waves debuts typically wait several versions before a second channel, so both are off the table until Kuro says otherwise.
What Mengzhou added
Mengzhou was the anchor of the version, continuing the main story thread the 3.5 map teasers had been building toward. It followed the pattern the game has held to since Rinascita: a new open area with its own exploration puzzles, collectibles and traversal beats, which means a one-time Astrite haul for clearing the map, plus event modes and login rewards layered on top.
That exploration Astrite is the part worth knowing about if you are returning now rather than reading this in August. It does not expire the way event currency does, so a Mengzhou map you never finished is still sitting there as pull currency whenever you get back to it. Our Echo guide covers the sets that came with it.
If you are reading this after the fact
The useful move depends on when you stopped playing:
- Check what is live first. Version 3.7 Phase 2 runs to November 10, with Suoming debuting alongside Lynae and Lucilla reruns. The Convene schedule carries the pull verdicts.
- Clear Mengzhou if you skipped it. Free Astrite, no deadline.
- Redeem what is still valid from the codes page rather than hunting old livestream codes, which expire within days of the broadcast.
- Rebuild your teams before you spend. The best team comps guide and the tier list both account for the 3.6 and 3.7 arrivals.
If you came back through the Xbox launch in 3.5, the crossplay guide still covers the account linking side, and the beginner's guide covers the progression systems that decide whether a new Resonator actually hits.
