Suisui Banner Guide: July 30 Dates, Pity & Pull Verdict

The Wuthering Waves Suisui banner is the headline limited Convene of Version 3.5 Phase 2 and one of the most support-focused rate-ups this patch cycle. Revealed June 15, 2026, Suisui arrives as a 5-star Glacio Rectifier built around Energy Regen scaling, dual-stance resource management and a hefty team-wide damage buff. Tracking the full Wuthering Waves banner schedule? This is the phase-2 banner to save for.

This guide covers dates, the 4-star lineup, Suisui's kit, pity math, pre-farm routes and an honest pull/skip verdict for every account type.

Suisui Banner Date, End Date & Countdown

Version 3.5 Phase 2 reportedly begins July 30, 2026. Some regions flip on July 31 due to server-time differences — treat your in-game countdown as the final word.

• Start: July 30, 2026 (July 31 on some servers)
• End: around August 19–20, 2026 (~3 weeks)
• Official reveal: June 15, 2026

The banner unlocks after phase-2 maintenance; exact times vary across America, Europe, Asia and TW-HK-MO servers. Phase-2 banners historically go live shortly after phase-1 expires, so expect minimal downtime.

Last-chance reminder: once it ends around August 19–20, Suisui leaves the limited pool. Limited 5-stars typically return via reruns, but nothing's confirmed for Suisui — if she's a must-have, finish your pulls before the final maintenance.

Suisui Kit Preview: Element, Weapon & Role

Searching Suisui element and weapon? She's a 5-star Glacio Rectifier Support debuting in 3.5 Phase 2. All pre-release numbers are subject to in-game confirmation at launch.

Her kit runs on a two-stage resource loop:

• Stage 1 — Dust Cleansing: builds Water Cloud Breath (cap 120)
• Stage 2 — Shower Rain: builds Fragrance Letter / Floral Epistle (cap 600)

Stance-based Resonance Skills feed each gauge: Zephyr Stance restores 40 Cloud Breath; Drizzle Stance restores 100 Floral Epistle and lasts 15 seconds. The payoff is her Outro, Rippling Waters — 25% All DMG Amplification for the incoming DPS for 30 seconds, a sizeable generic buff for any main carry.

Her Resonance Liberation deploys the Ceaseless Landscape domain for 30 seconds, raising the max stack limit of elemental negative statuses by 3 for 15 seconds. Most previews miss this: it uniquely enables status-stacking team cores other supports can't sustain.

Healing scales off Max HP; her team buff scales off Energy Regen, capping at 260% Resonance Efficiency. Build target: 230–260% ER before investing in offensive substats.

Suisui Banner 4 Stars: Baizhi, Mortefi & Lumi

All three share the featured 4-star pool. A 4-star is guaranteed within every 10 pulls — but there's no targeted guarantee for one specific featured 4-star.

• Baizhi: Glacio Rectifier healer — the same element-and-weapon profile as Suisui — a natural pairing and strong pickup for accounts lacking sustain. Copies push her Resonance Chain toward key healing breakpoints. See our Baizhi build guide.
• Mortefi: Fusion Pistols off-field DPS whose coordinated attacks amplify hypercarry teams; copies raise his off-field damage uptime. Details in our Mortefi build guide.
• Lumi: Mainly valuable for collectors chasing Resonance Chain copies. If Lumi's your only target, weigh the 5-star risk carefully — analysis in our Lumi build guide.

Should You Pull? Honest Verdict

Depends on your account:

• Brand-new players: Pull. A universal support with 25% All DMG Amplification slots into nearly any early roster, and the featured 4-stars give a fresh account instant depth.
• F2P savers: Pull only if you can reach pity without breaking savings for the next banner. No next-banner lineup is confirmed at time of writing — protect your guarantee if undecided.
• Meta-chasers: Strong pull. Her buff ceiling (up to 260% Resonance Efficiency) and status-stacking domain make her a durable long-term support.
• Suisui fans: Pre-farm now (checklist below) and commit fully.
• 4-star collectors: Pulling a limited banner just for Baizhi, Mortefi or Lumi copies is risky — every pull edges you toward a 5-star you may not want.

Pity, 50/50 & Astrite Budget

Wuthering Waves pity basics for this banner:

1. Hard pity: 5-star guaranteed within 80 pulls = 12,800 Astrite (160 per pull).
2. 50/50 explained: your first 5-star has a 50% chance to be Suisui; lose it, and the next 5-star is guaranteed featured.
3. Worst case: 160 pulls = 25,600 Astrite — the true answer to how many Astrite to guarantee 5 star.

Does pity carry over? Yes — pull count and guarantee status carry between consecutive limited character Convenes. The pity resets myth is false. And currencies aren't interchangeable: limited character banners use Radiant Tide, the weapon banner uses Forging Tide, standard Convenes use Lustrous Tide.

Check your pity in-game:

1. Open the Convene screen → limited character banner.
2. Tap the history/records button.
3. Count pulls since your last 5-star — that's your current pity.
4. If your last 5-star was off-banner, your next is guaranteed featured.

Budget saved Astrite plus expected patch income (dailies, events, Tower of Adversity clears, exploration, mail compensation) against the 12,800/25,600 thresholds. If there's a gap, you can buy WuWa Astrite for July 30 banner pulls via buffget's Lunite top-up — Lunite converts to Astrite 1:1, first-purchase bonuses stretch a top-up further, and buffget's competitive pack pricing, instant delivery and high user ratings make it a reliable way to reach pity.

Suisui Pre-Farm: Ascension Materials & Echoes

Level 90 ascension materials — start now, because boss drops are the time-gated bottleneck:

• 182 Autopuppet Kernels
• 46 Solidarity's Loneflame — from the Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis boss in Western Fang Peaks
• 60 Flowborne Dream — Mengzhou local specialty found on wall scrolls
• 26 Skyward Glazed Heart
• 3,053,300 Shell Credits

Pro tip: spend Waveplates on Rustfire Chassis first, and sweep Mengzhou wall scrolls every collection cycle — Flowborne Dream is collectible-only and can't be rushed with Waveplates.

Her signature weapon, Firstlight's Herald, carries 412 Base ATK and a massive 77.04% Resonance Efficiency secondary — covering a big share of her ER target by itself. Passive: permanent +12% Max HP, restores 8 Concerto Energy on a 20-second cooldown, and an on-field Kingfisher buff granting +20% Party ATK.

Echo plan (preview of our Suisui build guide):

• Set: Song of Feathered Trace 5-piece, Forbidden Bastion as Main Echo; grants +10% Energy Regen
• Layout: 4-3-3-1-1
• 4-Cost: CRIT DMG or HP%
• 3-Cost: double Resonance Efficiency (swap to Glacio DMG Bonus once ER is capped)
• 1-Cost: HP%

Dual ER 3-costs plus the weapon's secondary hit the 260% cap with minimal substat pressure — only swap to Glacio DMG once you're comfortably past 230%.

Best Suisui Teams & Launch Rotation

Three lineups her kit enables out of the gate:

• Pure Glacio Frost Gradient: Hiyuki + Lucilla + Suisui
• Burst Aggregate Pyro Burst: Aemeath + Denia + Suisui
• Void Annihilation Dark: Yangyang + Chisa + Suisui

Her domain is the connective tissue: +3 elemental negative status stacks lets these cores sustain damage windows other supports simply can't.

Optimal rotation:

1. Start in Zephyr Stance; build Cloud Breath through Basic Attacks and Dodges.
2. Cast Awakening Spring to apply Glacio Chafe; switch to Drizzle Stance.
3. Build Floral Epistle while in Drizzle.
4. Activate Resonance Liberation just before your main DPS damage window.
5. Outro at max Floral Epistle to hand over the 25% All DMG buff.

5 Costly Suisui Banner Mistakes

1. Believing pity resets between limited banners — it carries over.
2. Buying Forging Tide when you need Radiant Tide — not interchangeable.
3. Chasing one specific 4-star — no targeted guarantee exists.
4. Building CRIT before hitting 230–260% ER — her buff scales with Energy Regen first.
5. Spending your guarantee days before the next banner without checking the schedule.

Should new players pull on the Suisui banner? Generally yes. Her Outro grants 25% All DMG Amplification for 30 seconds, fitting nearly any roster a new account can build, and the Baizhi, Mortefi and Lumi rate-ups add instant team depth. Just set a firm pull budget first.
