Version 3.2 Phase 2 went live April 9, 2026, and runs through April 29, three weeks packed with story continuation, four events delivering 880 or more free Astrites, three Spectro rerun banners, and a Persona 5 Royal motorbike collab that nobody saw coming. The Wuthering Waves April events this phase are unusually F2P-friendly given the rerun-heavy banner lineup, but the pull decisions are not as simple as they look. Here is every confirmed detail and what to prioritize first.
Phase 2 Overview and Dates
| Content | Date |
| Phase 2 live | April 9, 2026, 10:00 server time |
| All banners end | April 29, 2026, 11:59 server time |
| Events close | April 29, 2026, 03:59 server time |
| Version 3.3 expected | April 30, 2026 |
Phase 2 is titled "Resolution to Illuminate the Shadows" and focuses on the Startorch Academy aftermath, the Dark Side anomaly, and Lahai-Roi exploration. Three rerun banners running simultaneously are unusual. Kuro Games is deliberately clearing the roster ahead of the Version 3.3 anniversary patch, which is expected to debut Hiyuki and Denia alongside significant F2P reward injections. If your Spectro team is complete and you already own Lynae, the smart move is to treat this phase as a resource-building window for 3.3.
Wuthering Waves April Events and Rewards
Rabbit Reflected in Shades Permanent Afterstory
Available: April 9, 2026 onward, permanent, no expiry
This segue quest picks up directly after Chapter III, Act IV, "Gold Suspended in Shadows." President Lucilla contacts you. The Dark Side anomaly at Startorch Academy remains unresolved, and something involving a rabbit awaits inside. The story bridges directly toward Version 3.3's expected content and the Hiyuki character introduction already teased in the 3.2 livestream.
Requirement: Complete Main Quest Chapter III Act IV. No Union Level gate.
The permanent nature of this quest means no urgency, but completing it early unlocks lore context that makes Phase 2's other events more coherent.
Knights of the Wild Main Event
Duration: April 9-April 29, 2026 (03:59 server time)
Rewards: 600 Astrite, Premium Resonance Potion, Premium Energy Core, Premium Sealed Tube, Forgery Advanced Supply Lahai-Roi
Requirement: Union Level 14 + complete Main Quest Chapter III Act I "What Burns Beneath Frostlands" (unlocks expedition motorbike)
This is the highest-value Wuthering Waves April event in Phase 2 and should be your first stop after the update downloads. Head into Lahai-Roi, locate disrupted Grand Knights and Mechascouts interfered with by enemy forces, defeat them, and complete the repair objectives. Multi-stage combat and exploration across several zones, but 600 Astrite makes it worth clearing every section methodically.
The Flaming Red in Memory Showcase Event
Duration: April 16-April 29, 2026 (03:59 server time)
Rewards: 280 Astrite, Premium Resonance Potion, Premium Energy Core, Premium Sealed Tube, Premium Enclosure Tank Lahai-Roi
Requirement: Complete prerequisite quest "The Flaming Red from Tomorrow."
Starting April 16, team up with Platya, the Black Shores Bloom Bearer, to chase a Ghost Miko known as "Lady Miko" through Startorch Academy zones. Lighter on combat, heavier on exploration and dialogue, with a direct narrative tie to upcoming Academy arcs. The 280 Astrite makes it the second most important Wuthering Waves April event after Knights of the Wild.
Chord Cleansing Double Echo Drop Event
Duration: April 22 April 29, 2026 (03:59 server time)
Requirement: Union Level 19
Mechanic: Spend Waveplates on Facet Suppression challenges for double Echo rewards up to 3 runs per day
The final week of Phase 2 is specifically the time to burn Crystal Solvent and any saved Waveplates. Double Echo drops from Tacet Suppression makes this the most efficient Echo farming window of the entire version. Hold your stamina reserves for this window rather than spending them casually across the phase.
Total confirmed Astrite from events: 880 minimum (Knights 600 + Flaming Red 280). Add daily logins, Guidebook completions, and exploration rewards for a realistic 1,200 or more across Phase 2.
Character Banners
All three character banners run from April 9 to April 29, 2026. Shared 4-star rate-up: Taoqi, Youhu, Danjin. Important: All three 5-stars share the same banner pool. Your guarantee will land on one of them, but you cannot choose which. Factor this into your planning.
Undefined Spectrum Lynae (Spectro, Pistols)
Lynae is the clear priority among the three. She functions as a top-tier universal sub-DPS and support whose value extends well beyond Spectro compositions she slotted into Luuk Herssen and Aemeath teams during 3.1 and will remain relevant into 3.3 and beyond. Community consensus across Reddit and X rates her S-tier and the only must-pull in Phase 2 for players who do not yet own her.
Pull if: You do not own Lynae and run any team that benefits from flexible support. That covers most endgame compositions.
Between Light and Shadow Zani (Spectro, Gauntlets)
Zani is a Spectro Frazzle main DPS who significantly underperforms without Phoebe on the team. The two are genuinely co-dependent. Zani without Phoebe is a noticeably worse investment than either suggests individually.
Pull if: You already own Phoebe and want to complete the Spectro Frazzle core. Skip if you are building around other elements or saving for 3.3.
With Hushed Whispers, Phoebe (Spectro, Rectifier)
Phoebe is the support backbone of the Spectro Frazzle team. She enables Zani's damage ceiling but is relatively niche outside that specific composition.
Pull if: You already own Zani. The same logic applies in reverse: Phoebe without Zani provides limited value outside a complete Spectro team.
Weapon Banners
All weapon banners run from April 9 to April 29, 2026. Shared 4-star rate-up: Relativistic Jet, Marcato, Variation. Unlike character banners, Limited Weapon Convenes always guarantee the featured weapon, without losing the 50/50.
| Banner | Weapon | Type | For |
| Spectrum Blaster | Lynae's signature | Pistol | Best-in-slot for Lynae |
| Blazing Justice | Zani's signature | Gauntlet | Bestin-slot for Zani |
| Luminous Hymn | Phoebe's signature | Rectifier | Best-in-slot for Phoebe |
Wavebands for all three featured 5-star weapons are available in the Afterglow Coral Store, limited to 2 purchases each.
Pull signature weapons only if you have already secured the corresponding character. Lynae's Spectrum Blaster is the most broadly useful, given her versatility across teams.
Persona 5 Royal Collab and Shop Bundles
QUEEN and VIOLET Motorbike Liveries
Available: April 9, April 29, 2026 (11:59 server time) Price: $9.99 USD each
The Persona 5 Royal collaboration delivers two premium cosmetic sets for your expedition motorbike, QUEEN (Makoto-themed) and VIOLET (Kasumi-themed), each including a 3-piece livery set plus 100 Astrite. Pure cosmetics with no gameplay impact, but the 100 Astrite per bundle means the collab is not entirely non-functional for F2P planning.
Three iconic P5 Royal tracks, Hoshi To Bokura To, Last Surprise, and Rivers in the Desert, also unlock in the Heart Radio Channel for motorbike riding from April 9.
Truthseeker's Radiant and Forging Collections
| Bundle | Price | Contents |
| Truthseeker's Radiant Collection I | $9.99 | 5x Radiant Tide + 400 Astrite |
| Truthseeker's Radiant Collection II | $29.99 | 15x Radiant Tide + 500 Astrite |
| Truthseeker's Forging Collection I | $9.99 | 5x Forging Tide + 400 Astrite |
All are limited to 1 purchase per bundle. Radiant Tides are used for limited character banners. The first bundle, in particular, is solid value for players who need a small boost in pull count to reach pity on Lynae.
FAQs
Can I pull any of the Phase 2 banners if I started Lynae's banner during Phase 1 of a previous version?
Yes, pity and 50/50 status carry over across all limited character banners regardless of version or phase—your accumulated pulls from any previous banner count toward your next guarantee.
Is the Persona 5 Royal collab available after April 29?
No. The QUEEN and VIOLET liveries are time-limited to the Phase 2 window ending April 29, 2026. The Heart Radio tracks added alongside them are permanent additions to the channel.
Should I pull Zani if I already own Phoebe but skipped her during 3.0?
Yes, Phoebe is specifically Zani's best team partner, and the combination is meaningfully stronger than either solo. If you own Phoebe and were waiting for a Zani rerun, this is the window. The reverse applies equally to Zani, pull Phoebe.
The co-dependent Zani and Phoebe banners will drain your anniversary savings before 3.3 arrives. However, a cheap wuwa top up secures the S-tier Lynae support instantly.
Farming 880 Astrites in the April events is an exhausting chore for busy players. Instead, a wuwa account for sale delivers an anniversary-ready roster without the grind.
