When version 3.8 goes live and how long maintenance lasts

Kuro Games first posted the Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Update Maintenance Notice on 7 November 2026 at 08:00 UTC, or 09:00 CET. The notice set the maintenance window for version 3.8 "Lilies in a Dying Dream" at 2026-11-12 04:00 to 2026-11-12 11:00 (UTC+8). Converted, that is 20:00 UTC on 11 November to 03:00 UTC on 12 November. On the Europe server and in Polish time (CET), maintenance ran from Wednesday 11 November at 21:00 to Thursday 12 November at 04:00.

You cannot log in while maintenance is running, so plan your play sessions before or after that window. Kuro Games says the update is large and recommends downloading it over Wi-Fi. If you play on a phone with a data cap, start the download at home as soon as the client offers it.

The release date was confirmed again in Wuthering Waves Update Content | Version 3.8 "Lilies in a Dying Dream" Planned for Release on November 12th (UTC+8). That post went up on 9 November 2026 at 10:30 UTC, or 11:30 CET. Three days later the developers released the full summary of the new content.

The Patch Notes for Version 3.8: Lilies in a Dying Dream appeared on 12 November 2026 at 02:00 UTC, or 03:00 CET. They open with the same maintenance window: 04:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8) on 12 November. The patch notes also repeat the compensation package, which is broken down in the next section.

What maintenance compensation you get and who can claim it

The version 3.8 maintenance compensation comes with a short set of rules:

• Astrite x300 is part of the package.
• To qualify, you must have created a character and unlocked the Mail feature before 2026-11-12 04:00 (UTC+8). That cutoff is 20:00 UTC, or 21:00 CET, on Wednesday 11 November 2026.
• The compensation stays claimable until the next version update, so you do not have to collect it on day one.
• Accounts made after the cutoff, or accounts that had not reached the Mail feature by then, do not get this package.

The compensation has a deadline, so claim it before the next version update arrives. If you are saving for the Phase I banner, claiming it now adds the Astrite x300 to your stock right away.

Who is on the Phase I banner and how long it runs

Kuro Games posted the Version 3.8 Featured Resonator/Weapon Convene: Phase Ⅰ notice on 11 November 2026 at 03:10 UTC (04:10 CET). The Resonator side of Phase I looks like this:

• Banner name: "When the Runes Glitter" Featured Resonator Convene.
• Featured 5-Star Resonator: Sigrika has a boosted drop rate for the whole banner.
• Featured 4-Star Resonators: Youhu, Aalto and Yangyang share the boosted 4-Star rate.
• Start: the banner opens with the version 3.8 update.
• End: 2026-12-03 09:59 server time. On the Europe server that is Thursday 3 December 2026 at 08:59 UTC, or 09:59 CET.
• Eligibility: your account must be at Union Level 5 to use the banner.

The banner closes on 3 December, while the leisure event keeps running until 21 December. If you are saving Astrite for Sigrika, the Astrite x1200 from Unwritten Dreams only counts toward her banner if you collect it and pull with it before the banner closes.

If you are a new player, check your Union Level before 3 December, since the banner stays locked below Union Level 5. For build notes on the Resonators already in your roster, our Wuthering Waves characters and builds page is the place to look.

What the Unwritten Dreams leisure event rewards and when it ends

Kuro Games previewed the event on 11 November 2026 at 11:00 UTC (12:00 CET) in Event Preview | Second Coming of Solaris: Unwritten Dreams Leisure Event Coming Soon. Here are the dates and rewards:

How to enter the Battle Rush for 2,000 Astrite

The V3.8 Wuthering Waves Battle Rush is already open, according to the post Kuro Games published on 12 November 2026 at 08:30 UTC (09:30 CET). It is a video contest for combat clips, and the entry rules are loose:

1. Record a video of your own combat in Wuthering Waves. Kuro Games sets no limits on the characters, level or scenes you use.
2. Cut the footage down to a short clip that shows your battle tactics, such as a clean combo.
3. Upload it publicly on X (Twitter), YouTube Shorts or TikTok. A private or followers-only post does not meet the rules.
4. Put both hashtags, #WutheringWaves and #WuwaBattle, in the post. Leaving out either one means the entry does not count.
5. Wait for the results. The prize is Astrite x2,000, and entries can also get featured on the official social media accounts with credit to the creator.

The Battle Rush is a competition, so the Astrite x2,000 is not guaranteed the way the leisure event Astrite is. A clip you recorded earlier still qualifies, as long as it is your own video of your own combat.

How to enter the Lilies in a Dying Dream fan creation event

The Wuthering Waves Fan Creation Event "Lilies in a Dying Dream" is already open, according to the announcement Kuro Games posted on 12 November 2026 at 07:30 UTC (08:30 CET). It uses different platforms and a different hashtag from the Battle Rush:

1. Make something about version 3.8 "Lilies in a Dying Dream". An illustration of a character you like, a comic about something funny from your playthrough or a video of a hard combo you have mastered all fit the theme.
2. Post it on X (Twitter), Instagram or Facebook. The contest accepts both artwork and video.
3. Tag the post with #WutheringWaves and #WuWaFanart. Use #WuWaFanart here, not the #WuwaBattle tag from the Battle Rush.
4. Fill out the submission form linked from the event post. Kuro Games asks for both the tagged post and the form, so a post on its own is not a complete entry.
5. Wait for the results. Prizes include an iPhone 18 Pro 512GB and Astrite, among other rewards.

A combat video that fits the 3.8 theme can go into both contests. Post it once with #WutheringWaves and #WuwaBattle on YouTube Shorts or TikTok, and once with #WutheringWaves and #WuWaFanart on X, Instagram or Facebook, then fill out the fan creation form.
