Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners are the two featured Resonator Convenes added alongside Lily in Version 3.8. Sigrika’s banner is called When the Runes Glitter; Qiuyuan’s is Wanderer Knows No Far and Near. Both finish on 3 December 2026 at 09:59 server time and feature Youhu, Aalto and Yangyang as boosted four-star characters.
Before pulling, check which character or weapon each Convene offers, which Tide currency it needs and how your pity carries over. These are separate banners, not one pool where you can choose either character or their weapon.
Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners: featured characters and dates
When the Runes Glitter features five-star Sigrika with boosted four-stars Youhu, Aalto and Yangyang. Wanderer Knows No Far and Near features five-star Qiuyuan with the same three four-stars. These are separate banners: choosing one does not let you select either character when a five-star appears.
Both start with Version 3.8 and end on 3 December at 09:59 server time. Use the live Convene countdown, since a server-time deadline is not necessarily 09:59 in the UK. These aren’t the only Phase I options. Lily’s Bloom of Yesterday’s Dreamsoil Convene arrives alongside them, with Lullaby on a separate weapon banner.
Which weapons are on the Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners?
Sigrika’s companion weapon banner is Solsworn Ciphers, featuring the five-star weapon of the same name. Qiuyuan’s companion weapon banner is Emerald Sentence. Both rate up Cadenza, Celestial Spiral and Comet Flare as four-star weapons, with the same 3 December 09:59 server-time deadline.
The Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners use Radiant Tide for characters. Their named weapon Convenes instead use Forging Tide. Obtaining Sigrika or Qiuyuan does not give you Solsworn Ciphers or Emerald Sentence automatically, so check the banner title before spending currency.
| Convene | Five-star rate-up | Four-star rate-ups |
|---|---|---|
| When the Runes Glitter | Sigrika | Youhu, Aalto, Yangyang |
| Wanderer Knows No Far and Near | Qiuyuan | Youhu, Aalto, Yangyang |
| Solsworn Ciphers | Solsworn Ciphers (weapon) | Cadenza, Celestial Spiral, Comet Flare |
| Emerald Sentence | Emerald Sentence (weapon) | Cadenza, Celestial Spiral, Comet Flare |
Kuro says the next five-star weapon obtained on each named featured Weapon Convene is the advertised weapon. That is a weapon-banner guarantee, not a bonus for making a certain number of character pulls. The announcement also guarantees at least one four-star or higher item every ten Convenes.
Does pity carry over between the Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners?
Yes, within the same category. The guarantee count for Featured Resonator Convenes is shared among those banners and carries over until you obtain a five-star Resonator. That means changing from Sigrika to Qiuyuan doesn’t reset a separate character pity count. Featured Weapon Convenes have their own shared guarantee count, separate from character Convenes.
Don’t combine the two. Pulls made on a Featured Resonator Convene don’t advance the featured weapon count, or the other way around. Before pulling, open the in-game Rules panel for exact five-star base probabilities, maximum pity and featured-character guarantee conditions. The short promotional notice does not spell out every rate.
If you’ve already made pulls on Lily’s featured character banner, those count towards the same Featured Resonator guarantee. Check your Convene history before switching to Sigrika or Qiuyuan.
How to unlock the Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners and get Wavebands
Kuro lists alternative entry routes: reach Union Level 5, finish the combat trial in First Resonance, or access Main Quest Fast Track and progress far enough. These are alternatives rather than three requirements to complete together. Check the Convene screen if your account has not unlocked the feature.
Each character’s Wavebands can be purchased up to two times from the Afterglow Coral Store during their banner period. They leave the store when the relevant Convene ends. Trial versions are also available through Ascendant Aces, so you can play the characters and earn the listed trial rewards before making a decision.
Try the featured characters in Ascendant Aces first. The Wuthering Waves Sigrika and Qiuyuan banners give you two distinct characters to choose from; a trial helps you decide which one you actually enjoy playing.
Should you pull Sigrika, Qiuyuan or Lily?
That depends on what your team needs. If Sigrika is your target, use When the Runes Glitter; if it’s Qiuyuan, use Wanderer Knows No Far and Near. Lily is on Bloom of Yesterday’s Dreamsoil, not either of those two banners. You can check our Lily guide for her separate Lullaby weapon and the other announced Phase I details.
Both featured character banners close on 3 December at 09:59 server time. Check your own countdown before spending anything, and remember that the name above the Convene determines which featured character or weapon you’re aiming for.
