What Is New in Version 3.8?

Version 3.8 is titled "Lilies in a Dying Dream" and opens the New Federation story arc. The headline addition is Lily, a new 5-star Spectro Resonator who wields Pistols. She is a healer: her Resonance Liberation puts her to sleep and summons a bell that taunts nearby enemies while healing allies, and it keeps acting in the background after you switch characters.

The update also adds the Train of Souls area and the Chapter IV Act V main quest, "A Bouquet for Tomorrow," plus the campus visual-novel mode "Second Coming of Solaris: Unwritten Dreams," a 7-day login event in Phase 1, and the returning Memoir Resonance II selectable rerun banner.

Phase 1 Banners: Lily, Sigrika, and Qiu Yuan

Phase 1 runs from November 12 to December 3 at 09:59 (server time). The featured 5-star Resonators are Lily (new), Sigrika, and Qiu Yuan, with Yangyang and Youhu as 4-star rate-ups. Lily's signature 5-star Pistol is Lullaby.

Phase 2 runs from December 3 at 10:00 to December 21 at 11:59 (server time), featuring Yangyang: Xuanling, Suisui, and Feixue.

The Memoir Resonance II banner runs alongside, letting you pick a 5-star target from Camellya, Roccia, Phoebe, and Brant. A 5-star pull has a 50% chance to be your selected character, and pity carries over between phases.

Codes: Only One Code Still Works

Do not paste the 3.8 preview codes expecting Astrite. TRAINOFSOULS, BLOOMINGFLOWERS, and SCHOOLLIFE were worth 100 Astrite each, but all three expired on November 8, 2026, at 23:59 (UTC+8), four days before the update launched.

The only confirmed working in-game code right now is the standing code WUTHERINGGIFT, worth 50 Astrite, 2 Premium Resonance Potions, 2 Medium Revival Inhalers, 2 Medium Energy Bags, and 10,000 Shell Credits. Redeem it in-game through Terminal > Settings > Other Settings > Redemption Code, or on the official Wuthering Waves redemption page. Each code works once per account.

How to Redeem a Wuthering Waves Code

1. Open the official Wuthering Waves redemption page and log in with your Kuro Games account, or open the game and go to Terminal > Settings > Other Settings > Redemption Code.
2. Select your server, enter the code exactly as shown, and confirm.
3. Collect the rewards from your in-game mail.
