Wuthering Waves 3.7 Guide: New Story, Events, Phase I Banners, and What to Do First

Version 3.7, Prism’s Illusion, Heart’s Illumination, is now live with the conclusion of the current Xuanfang story arc, the new Somnoire-inspired area Dreamweave Sanctum, new Resonators, a full event cycle, and major quality-of-life changes. Permanent exploration and limited rewards now compete for the same playtime, so use the first session to confirm story access, event timers, and whether Phase I fills a real gap in your roster.

Start by unlocking the new main quest and checking every live event tab. Then use the trial stages before spending Astrite on Hsin, Chisa, or Iuno. Phase I ends on October 22; the precise daily reset and end time shown in your client remains the final reference for your server.

Quick answer: unlock the new story and area first, claim the seven-day login rewards, complete time-gated event entries before permanent content, and test all three Phase I Resonators. Pull one account role, not three names: Hsin for the new Electro Rectifier route, Chisa for a Havoc Broadblade team, or Iuno for an Aero Gauntlets plan.

What to do first in Version 3.7

Check mail, login rewards, and event timers. These are the only rewards that can disappear while you are still exploring permanent content.
Unlock the Chapter IV continuation. Story progress opens the context and routes for Dreamweave Sanctum; clear nearby waypoints before chasing every collectible.
Enter every limited event once. This reveals Union Level requirements, time gates, daily caps, and whether a later story stage is required.
Play the featured Resonator trials. Test Hsin, Chisa, and Iuno with their intended rotations. A visually impressive ultimate does not tell you whether the field time fits your roster.
Audit Echoes and team presets. Confirm that stacked Echoes kept the expected lock/discard priority, then build reusable teams for exploration, bosses, and event trials.

New story, area, and exploration route

The new main quest continues Chapter IV with Rover entering the control core alongside Samei and investigating the disturbance connected to the Xinyue Fox. Dreamweave Sanctum is split into spaces with different environmental rules. Progress is tied to exploration stability and your relationship with its guiding presence, so the efficient route is to open navigation points first, learn the local mechanic, and only then sweep collectibles.

The new anecdotal quest also awards an alternate Echo and a motorcycle paint. That makes it worth separating from ordinary flavor quests: it has a fixed cosmetic and collection payoff.

Phase I banners and pull roles

Wuthering Waves Phase I Chisa rerun and featured four-star lineup in English

Resonator	Official profile	Best account question	Reason to skip
Hsin	5-star Electro, Rectifier; Version 3.7 debut	Do you need a new Electro-centered on-field route and like her trial loop?	Your existing Electro core is complete or Phase II matters more
Chisa	5-star Havoc, Broadblade rerun	Does your roster support her field time and Havoc plan?	You would need to rebuild two other slots just to use her
Iuno	5-star Aero, Gauntlets rerun	Do you already own teammates that benefit from her established role?	You are pulling from reputation without a team vacancy

All three featured character banners share the pity structure for the same Convene type. Check your current count in-game. Do not treat “a few pulls on each banner” as three independent low-risk tests.

Astrite budget and stop lines

Starting position	Plan	Stop line
No guarantee, low pity	Assume the result may require a full featured-character cycle; count Radiant Tides plus Astrite	Do not start unless you accept losing the featured result and carrying pity forward
Guaranteed featured character	Choose one banner after trials	Stop immediately after the target arrives
Character plus signature weapon	Fund the character first; inspect the weapon’s exact effect and alternatives	Skip the weapon if it prevents your next confirmed character target
Several reruns wanted	Rank by missing team role, not release age	One finished team upgrade before a second collection pull

The version includes permanent and time-limited activities, including exploration, photo collection, combat, a leisure mini-game, web events, and login rewards. Use this order:

Daily or capped entries: do these first because missed attempts may not stack.
Seven-day login rewards: claim early even if you plan a longer story session later.
Limited combat and exploration events: unlock the page and clear the first reward threshold.
Permanent content: return after expiring rewards are secure.

System changes that affect real account management

Echo stacking is the most practical inventory change: unenhanced, unequipped Echoes with the same Echo, Sonata Effect, and main stat can be stored as a stack. The system also applies a priority when carrying forward marks, so review any rare pieces you locked before mass cleanup. Team storage expands to 20 groups, which is useful only if names explain purpose—such as “Aero boss,” “Havoc farm,” or “exploration”—rather than “Team 11.”

Claim Version 3.7’s free Astrite, count your Radiant Tides, and check pity first. If one target still has a defined shortfall, use the product page to match that gap instead of buying for all three banners.

Wuthering Waves 3.7 FAQ

When does Phase I end?

The official Phase I notice places the end on October 22. Use the exact server time displayed in your Convene screen as the final cutoff.

Should I rush the story or events first?

Claim time-gated entries and logins first, then progress the story far enough to unlock the area and event prerequisites.

Should I pull Hsin before trying her?

No. The trial reveals her input rhythm, field time, and whether her Electro Rectifier role solves a real team gap.

Do the Phase I character banners share pity?

The featured character Convene banners of the same type share the count toward the next 5-star. Verify your current count and guarantee state in the in-game history before splitting pulls.

Should I pull Hsin’s signature weapon immediately?

Secure the character first, then compare the signature with Rectifiers you already own. Stop if the weapon would consume the Astrite reserved for another required role.

Which Version 3.7 content can wait?

Permanent exploration and system improvements can wait. Login rewards, limited event attempts, and Phase I trials have deadlines and should be cleared first.

Bottom line

Claim daily and login rewards first, unlock the new story route, and test all three Phase I Resonators before spending Astrite. Permanent exploration can wait; expiring rewards and the October 22 banner deadline cannot. Choose one role your roster needs and set the stopping point before the first pull.
