Wuthering Waves 3.6 leaks: Qingxiao, Jingran, events

Leaks for Wuthering Waves version 3.6 identify two new limited 5‑star resonators, Qingxiao and Jingran, tied to the Mengzhou storyline. The leaks indicate the update is expected around August 20–21, 2026, with the second banner phase scheduled for mid‑September under the game’s usual six‑week cycle.

The first banner phase is reported to feature Qingxiao, described as an Aero Sword DPS who summons swords and creates a glacier‑like aura around her attacks. The second phase is said to introduce Jingran, listed as a Fusion Broadblade DPS. Both resonators are marked as limited five‑star characters and are expected to appear across separate banner phases.

Each banner phase reportedly includes two rerun resonators. The first phase is said to include reruns of Denia and Mornye, while the second phase is said to rerun Iuno and Lupa. The leaks list several new materials tied to the update, including Solidarity’s Loneflame as a new boss drop and items named FF Autopuppet Kernel, FF Howler Core, FF Carved Crystal, Layered Wing Polarizer, FF Exoswarm Core and FF Mech Core.

Early kit details for Qingxiao in the leaks describe a stance‑based melee kit. Her normal attack chain has four hits, with hits one and four classed as Sheathed Stance and hits two and three as Unsheathed Stance. She builds two resource types: Qin Spirit from sheathed attacks and Sword Soul from unsheathed attacks. Holding the basic attack reportedly consumes both resources to perform a heavy attack that deals Aero damage and places her in an Ephemeral Immortal State. A resonance skill called Fleeting Echoes Retribution is listed as a Sheathed Stance ability and deals Aero damage. A move named Soaring can trigger during the second or third basic attack and is classed as Unsheathed Stance. Weapon types linked to Qingxiao include a Guqin (zither) and Flying Swords; guqin attacks are reported to generate Zither Heart and sword attacks generate Sword Intent. Reaching five stacks of each resource is said to trigger a Sword Immortal state, while seven stacks of each unlock an execute mechanic. Her ultimate is reported to summon a Myriad Sword Judgment Array.

Jingran details in the leaks are more limited. The available information lists her as a Fusion Broadblade DPS and connects her to the Mengzhou storyline. The leak mentions weapon and material interactions for Jingran but does not provide a full kit breakdown.

Leaked event listings include a cooperative combat event titled If You Gaze into the Abyss of Dreams, a new roguelike mode expected to be the patch’s main event, a return of Solaris Ultra under the name Second Coming of Solaris Ultra, and a Wuthering Exploration activity. Version 3.5 launched on July 10, 2026, and the game generally follows a six‑week release cadence, which places the 3.6 window on August 20–21 and the second banner phase in mid‑September, according to the leak timeline.

Leaked details are subject to change before the official release. Kuro Games has not confirmed the full set of characters, mechanics, materials or exact event timing for version 3.6.
