Version 3.4 of Wuthering Waves puts two very different five-star Resonators in front of you at almost the same time. Lucy headlines the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover as a Spectro main DPS, while Lucilla, the President of Startorch Academy, debuts as a Glacio sub-DPS and team buffer. With limited Astrite, most players will only comfortably afford one.
Quick answer: Pull Lucilla if you own Hiyuki or any Echo Skill damage carry, since she is the highest-value support of the patch. Pull Lucy only if you want a Spectro main DPS or care about owning a collab-limited character that may never return. Claim the free Rebecca either way.
Wuthering Waves 3.4 banner schedule and currency rules
Version 3.4, “The Dream Not Dreamed,” drops the usual two-phase structure for a staggered rollout. The collaboration banners run the full length of the patch, while the standard limited banners open later. Lucilla’s banner is live as of June 13.
| Character | Element / Weapon | Role | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucy | Spectro Pistols | Main DPS (collab) | June 8 – July 9 |
| Rebecca (free) | Electro Pistols | Support (collab) | June 8 – July 9 |
| Lucilla | Glacio Rectifier | Sub-DPS / buffer | June 13 – July 9 |
| Cartethyia | Aero Sword | Main DPS (rerun) | June 18 – July 9 |
The most important rule is that Lucy and Rebecca live outside the normal limited-banner economy. Their character Convenes use Dreamcatcher Tide, and their weapons use Shadowforge Tide. Lucilla and Cartethyia use your regular limited-banner pulls. The two systems do not share pity or guarantees, so losing a 50/50 on one does not set up a guarantee on the other.
Note: Keep your Astrite as Astrite until you are ready to pull. Once it is converted into the wrong Tide, you lose the flexibility to redirect it to a different banner.
What Lucilla brings to your account
Lucilla is a Glacio Rectifier sub-DPS and support hybrid built around Concerto Efficiency, Echo damage, and the Glacio Chafe effect. Her kit amplifies Basic Attack damage, Echo damage, and Echo Skill damage for the team, which makes her one of the strongest support units in the current meta.
Her standout job is completing the Glacio Chafe team and acting as the best-in-slot partner for Hiyuki, directly raising that carry’s damage output. She also frees up Lynae, who is otherwise needed in Tune Strain teams. As the second Echo Skill-based support in the game, she provides large buffs to characters like Sigrika, Glabrena, and Phrolova, with even more value expected once a future Echo DPS arrives.
- Pull Lucilla if you already own Hiyuki or any Echo Skill damage carry.
- Pull her if you run Glacio teams or prefer support units over another main DPS.
- Skip her if you have no Glacio core and no Echo Skill damage characters to buff.
Her value is account-dependent. Like most supports, she shines only when you have the carry that needs her. With the right teammates, she becomes close to a must-have.
What Lucy brings to your account
Lucy is the first Spectro Pistols main DPS in the game, built around Heavy Attack scaling and a collab-themed Tune Break Hack mechanic. She fills a long-standing gap in the Spectro lineup, which has lacked a true core damage dealer.
Her biggest selling point is accessibility. Rebecca, her best sub-DPS partner, is handed out for free during the collaboration, so every free-to-play player can field her core team without winning two banners. She is also collab-limited, and collab characters have no precedent for reruns, so missing her now likely means missing her for good.
The trade-off is power level. As a collaboration unit, Lucy is tuned lower than recent 3.x and late 2.x carries. She does less damage than an optimized Luuk or Zani, though she still outperforms Jinhsi. She is strong and has a distinct playstyle, but she is not the top Spectro DPS available.
- Pull Lucy if you need a Spectro main DPS or lack meta carries like Luuk.
- Pull her if you value limited collection pieces that may never return.
- Skip her if you already run an optimized Luuk or Zani and don’t want a weaker carry.
Lucilla vs Lucy: which pull wins
| Factor | Lucilla | Lucy |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Glacio sub-DPS / buffer | Spectro main DPS |
| Meta value | Top-tier support, ages well | Solid carry, undertuned vs newer DPS |
| Best with | Hiyuki, Echo Skill DPS | Free Rebecca |
| Rerun outlook | Standard limited, reruns expected | Collab-limited, no rerun expected |
| Banner currency | Regular limited pulls | Dreamcatcher Tide |
For most accounts, Lucilla is the better investment. She slots into multiple team compositions, scales an already top-tier Hiyuki, and her Echo Skill buffing only grows in value as more characters in that archetype release. Since she uses standard limited-banner currency, she is also likely to return later if you skip her now.
Lucy makes more sense in two cases. If you genuinely need a Spectro main DPS, or if you collect limited characters and don’t want to risk losing a crossover unit forever, she earns the pull. Her free Rebecca partner and roughly 20 free collab pulls from login and event rewards soften the cost. If neither applies, hold your Astrite for Lucilla and keep Rebecca as your free entry into the Cyberpunk team.
