Wuthering Waves is entering its most exciting phase yet. With the Lahai-Roi arc complete, Kuro Games is pulling players back to Huanglong — and into a brand-new city called Mengzhou. Six new characters have been officially teased for versions 3.5 through 3.7, covering everything from the game’s first-ever SP character to one of Huanglong’s legendary Seven Sentinels. Here’s a complete breakdown of every Wuthering Waves new character revealed for the upcoming Mengzhou arc, including their expected elements, weapons, and release windows.
| Character | Version | Expected Element | Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yangyang: Xuanling | 3.5 | Havoc (leaked) | Sword |
| Suisui | 3.5 | Glacio (leaked) | Unknown |
| Qingxiao | 3.6 | Aero (leaked) | Sword |
| Jingran | 3.6 | Fusion (leaked) | Broadblade |
| Hsin | 3.7 | Electro (leaked) | Rectifier |
| Suoming | 3.7 | Havoc (leaked) | Rectifier |
Note: Elements and weapons come from leaks and community dataminers. Kuro Games has not officially confirmed these details yet — drip marketing teasers only show artwork and taglines so far.
Yangyang is Wuthering Waves’ original poster girl — and she’s finally getting the power-up she deserves. Yangyang: Xuanling is the game’s first-ever SP (Special) character, a brand-new form that transforms her from a low-tier starter into a proper 5-star threat. Leaks suggest she’ll wield Havoc energy, a massive shift from her original Aero kit. She’s expected to launch in the first half of Version 3.5, which is projected to go live around July 9–10, 2026.
Suisui is Yangyang’s sister and the second character dropping in 3.5. Her drip marketing teaser reads “Fan unfolds — dawn of truth draws near,” hinting at a Spectro or Glacio identity. Leaks currently lean toward Glacio element. She’s confirmed to be from Mingting, and the two sisters reportedly share team synergy — making them a natural banner pair to pull together.
Qingxiao is described as a “wuxia-style swordswoman” and carries a majestic one-handed blade in her official teaser. Her tagline — “Celestia sword guards the clouded pass” — paints her as a powerful guardian figure. Leaks point to Aero element with a main DPS Sword playstyle. She’s slotted for the first half of Version 3.6, though some recent sources suggest Hsin may be moved up to share this slot instead.
Jingran is the only male character in the entire Mengzhou roster, and he stands out immediately — a well-built fighter shown equipping a spear and holding a lantern. Leaks describe him as a Fusion Broadblade user, though some early data called him a “tomb raider-style” character. He’ll likely be the Phase 2 banner pick for Version 3.6. Check the Wuthering Waves banners page for timing updates as they drop.
Hsin is the most anticipated character of the entire arc — and for good reason. She’s one of Huanglong’s Seven Sentinels, a class of resonators that has already produced some of the game’s strongest units. She features wolf-like ears and long white hair, and leaks point to an Electro Rectifier kit. Unlike previous Sentinel resonators, Hsin reportedly won’t function as a standalone main DPS at base (S0) — positioning her as more of a unique support-hybrid. Her arrival in 3.7 is tied closely to the Moon-Chasing Festival storyline, estimated for October–November 2026.
Suoming rounds out the Mengzhou cast with a red-heavy design and an umbrella motif. Leaks tag her as a Havoc Rectifier user who fills a missing support role for Echo Skill-based teams — specifically mentioned alongside Sigrika. If the leaks are accurate, she could be a sleeper pick for players already running Echo Skill-centric compositions. Grab Wuthering Waves codes now to stack free Astrite for her banner.
Version 3.5 is expected to launch around July 9–10, 2026, bringing Yangyang: Xuanling and Suisui as the first two Mengzhou characters.
Yes — she’s an SP (Special) version, essentially a new 5-star form with a different element (likely Havoc) and a fully revamped kit, while the original Yangyang remains in your roster.
Leaks currently point to Electro element and Rectifier weapon, but Kuro Games hasn’t officially confirmed this yet.
Based on current leaks, Hsin at S0 (base constellation) won’t function as a traditional main DPS — she’ll likely fill a more hybrid or support role, unlike previous Sentinel resonators.
