Wuthering Waves 3.5 Pull Priority (July 2026)
Updated on 2026-07-24: Xuanling + Suisui Negative Status core locked as the patch ceiling; Suisui signature stays a skip for most F2P accounts.
Priority | Resonator | Role | Pull if… | Skip if… |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Suisui | Glacio healer / universal Negative Status buffer | You run Havoc Bane, Frostbite, or Hiyuki teams, or you just pulled Xuanling | Your account lives on Liberation / Echo Skill cores and you already field Shorekeeper + Chisa |
2 | Yangyang: Xuanling | Havoc Bane main DPS (Heavy Attack) | You need a new carry that clears Tower and Whimpering Wastes | You lack Chisa and refuse to free her, or you already clear endgame with a built Phrolova |
3 | Lynae | Spectro Liberation amplifier / flex sub-DPS | You play Aemeath, Luuk, Iuno, or any Liberation-heavy core | Your entire roster is Negative Status and you never swap off it |
4 | Aemeath | Fusion dual-mode main DPS | You can fund character + signature and want a second endgame team | Signature is out of budget |
5 | Luuk Herssen | Spectro Tune Strain DPS | You main the character for fun | You pull for meta only. Ceiling lags and Whimpering Wastes hurts. |
1.Account-first rule: finish one full team before you chase a second banner. 2.F2P budget this patch sits around ~96 limited pulls with full clear; Lunite Subscription pushes you near ~120. 3.Universal supports (Suisui, Lynae) stretch more accounts than a third main DPS. |
Best Teams in Wuthering Waves 3.5
Rank | Team | Core | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
S+ | Xuanling / Chisa / Suisui | Havoc Bane | Patch ceiling. Suisui raises team damage and also boosts Chisa’s personal output. |
S | Xuanling / Chisa / Rebecca | Havoc Bane (budget premium) | Nearly matches Suisui + Rebecca when you lack the new support. |
S | Xuanling / Suisui / Rebecca | Havoc Bane (no Chisa swap) | Close to the Chisa + Rebecca line once you own Suisui. |
S | Hiyuki / Suisui / (Chisa or Lucilla) | Mono Glacio / Frostbite | Suisui is a real upgrade over Chisa for average 1-2-3 rotations. |
A | Xuanling / Iuno / healer | Heavy Attack flex | ~90% of Xuanling’s damage is Heavy Attack, so Heavy buffers slot in clean. |
A | Xuanling / Mortefi / Verina or Shorekeeper | Strongest F2P line | Clears current endgame if you build Xuanling first. |
A | Aemeath / Lynae / Mornye | Tune Rupture / Liberation | Pull Lynae only if this is the team you actually field. |
B | Cartethyia or Aemeath + Chisa third slot | Older Negative Status | Chisa still beats Suisui here; Suisui’s ATK package wastes value on Cartethyia. |
Yangyang: Xuanling sits at the top
Xuanling leads the Version 3.5 DPS race on three axes at once: premium team damage, team flexibility, and F2P accessibility. Her BiS is Chisa + Suisui. She also pairs with Rebecca, Phrolova (Heavy + Havoc Outro), Iuno, Mortefi, Verina, Shorekeeper, and Lynae’s universal amp. She holds up in both Whimpering Wastes and Tower of Adversity, which already puts her ahead of Luuk Herssen for account value.
Pull Xuanling when you need a main damage dealer and can give her Chisa, or when you plan to grab Suisui in Phase 2. Park the banner if Chisa is locked to another endgame team and you refuse to rebuild.
Suisui as Shorekeeper for Negative Status
Treat Suisui as Shorekeeper with a Negative Status specialty. She still throws universal tools (about 25% all-damage amp plus support Echo ATK) at any DPS. On NS consumers like Xuanling, Hiyuki, and similar stack spenders, she also raises NS stack caps, feeds ATK, and for Havoc Bane adds RES shred plus DEF ignore. Interrupt resist keeps rotations from collapsing.
Buff layer | Chisa | Suisui |
|---|---|---|
Outro | +3 NS cap, 18% DEF ignore | 25% amp (30s), 12% DMG bonus, 50% ATK for NS stack consumers |
Sonata + main Echo | 25% ATK | 25% ATK |
Extra | 12% enemy DEF shred | +3 NS cap (with Havoc exceptions), Havoc RES/DEF ignore package, Glacio Chafe stacks |
Signature (R1) | 24% all-attribute DMG | 20% team ATK |
Personal damage | Sub-DPS level | Near zero |
Raw buff text favors Suisui. Factor Chisa’s personal damage and the gap on Xuanling teams shrinks, until you run both together. That duo is the real S+ ceiling. On Hiyuki, Suisui edges Chisa for players who want a clean rotation; quick-swap specialists keep Chisa close. On Cartethyia, keep Chisa. Suisui loses to even Aero Rover there.
Signature weapons: pull character, skip steel
Suisui’s signature Firstlight’s Herald (Lv.90): 412 ATK, 77% Energy Regen, HP%, Concerto restore on Liberation, and a 20% team ATK window when Snow Taint + Ripples overlap.
Free/craftable Variation (Ranked): Energy Regen + Concerto on Resonance Skill. Team damage sits about 5% behind signature for most accounts.
F2P call: skip the weapon, bank 60 to 70 pulls for the next limited Resonator. Attack buffs stack from Echo sets and kits already; another ATK stick returns little.
How to Plan Your Wuthering Waves 3.5 Pulls
Step 1: Count pity and guaranteed status. Soft pity starts near 64; hard pity sits at 80.
Step 2: Pick one archetype: Negative Status (Xuanling/Suisui) or Liberation (Lynae/Aemeath). Split pity across both and you finish neither.
Step 3: Lock teammates before you pull the DPS. Xuanling wants Chisa free; Suisui wants an NS consumer on the account. Cross-check the Wuthering Waves Tier List if your older roster still carries endgame.
Step 4: Spend event Astrite and codes first. Keep a running list from the Wuthering Waves codes hub.
Step 5: Top up only after free sources run dry. Convert Lunite → Astrite, then pull. Use BitTopup WuWa top-up when you need a clean discount path.

Future Meta Watch
Suisui + Chisa already function as a support pair for almost every Negative Status DPS on the roster.
Electro Flare entered through Electro Rover. A dedicated Electro Flare team later puts Suisui in the third-slot race again.
Echo set Song of the Feathered Trace pushes Energy Regen supports: 2-pc +10% ER; 5-pc branches into Xuanling’s Feather (Crit Rate + Heavy Attack DMG) or Chongming’s Feather (team ATK scaling off ER, up to 25%).
Treat Suisui as a multi-patch investment, not a one-banner spike.
FAQ
Who should I pull first in Wuthering Waves 3.5?
Most accounts want Suisui for long-term Negative Status value, then Xuanling if they still need a carry. New players who lack any endgame DPS can flip that order and grab Xuanling first, then build Suisui in Phase 2. Lynae stays the best catch-up support if your teams lean Liberation.
Is Yangyang: Xuanling good without Chisa?
She functions with Rebecca, Mortefi, Phrolova, Iuno, and generic healers, but her full Heavy Attack / Havoc Bane ceiling needs Chisa’s stack cap. Pull her without Chisa only if you accept a lower ceiling or plan to free Chisa later.
Is Suisui better than Chisa?
On pure buff text, yes. On total team DPS for Xuanling, the gap shrinks because Chisa deals damage. Own both and you field the strongest Xuanling team in the game. Prefer Chisa on Cartethyia; prefer Suisui on Hiyuki for standard rotations.
Should F2P pull Suisui’s signature weapon?
No. Variation covers Energy Regen and Concerto. Signature’s team ATK window costs 60 to 70 pulls for roughly a 5% team bump. Character copies and the next limited Resonator return more.
How many pulls can I earn in Version 3.5?
Full-clear F2P lands near 96 limited pulls across the patch. Lunite Subscription climbs toward ~120; Subscription + Battle Pass sits near ~129. Exact totals move with events, so recheck this page after major reward drops. Xbox launch players can also skim the Xbox top-up guide if they play on Series X|S.
Conclusion
Version 3.5 crowns Yangyang: Xuanling as the flexible top DPS and installs Suisui as the Negative Status Shorekeeper. Build Xuanling / Chisa / Suisui when you can, park Suisui’s weapon, and spend leftover Astrite on Lynae only if Liberation teams pay your endgame bills.
