Version 3.7 goes live on September 30, 2026 after a maintenance period that ends at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). The full update runs 42 days and closes on November 11, 2026. The character Convenes are divided into two phases, with each phase lasting roughly three weeks.

| Phase 2 | Oct 22 – Nov 11, 2026 | Suoming (new), Lynae, Lucilla |
You will know the update is available once maintenance ends and the client prompts a download. The new banners appear in the Convene menu after you log back in on or after September 30.
Phase 1 character banners (Hsin, Chisa, Iuno)
Phase one brings Hsin into the game as a 5-star Electro Flare DPS equipped with a rectifier. As the first Sentinel playable by users, she focuses on inflicting Electro Flare and then detonating it. Two rerun banners accompany her release.
| Resonator | Rarity | Element / Weapon | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hsin | 5-star | Electro / Rectifier | New |
| Iuno | 5-star | Aero / Gauntlet | Rerun |
| Chisa | 5-star | Havoc / Broadblade | Rerun |
| Youhu | 4-star | Glacio | Featured |
| Taoqi | 4-star | Havoc | Featured |
| Buling | 4-star | Electro | Featured |
Iuno returns as a DPS who heals allies and provides Heavy ATK damage amplification. Chisa is a support for Negative Status effect teams and pairs naturally with Hsin’s Electro Flare kit. The featured 4-stars are Buling, Taoqi, and Youhu, with Buling notable as one of the units that can apply Electro Flare today.
Phase 2 character banners (Suoming, Lynae, Lucilla)
In phase two, Suoming arrives as a 5-star Electro sub-DPS capable of placing Electro Flare on opponents. Her sword is hidden within an oil-paper umbrella, and her role is directly linked to Hsin and the concluding chapter of the Xuanfang storyline.
| Resonator | Rarity | Element / Weapon | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suoming | 5-star | Electro / Sword | New |
| Lynae | 5-star | Spectro / Pistols | Rerun |
| Lucilla | 5-star | Glacio / Rectifier | Rerun |
| Lumi | 4-star | Electro | Featured |
| Danjin | 4-star | Havoc | Featured |
| Chixia | 4-star | Fusion | Featured |
Lynae is a sub-DPS that works well in Tune-Break teams and buffs teammates through Resonance Liberation amplification. Lucilla is a sub-DPS suited to Echo Skill and Glacio Chafe teams and is easy to build. Lumi, Danjin, and Chixia round out the 4-star lineup for the second half.
Weapon Convene banners
Each phase runs its own rate-up weapon banners alongside the character Convenes. All six featured weapons are the signatures of the 5-star Resonators in their respective phase.
| Phase | Weapon | Type | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Blooming Jadehaven | Rectifier | Hsin |
| Phase 1 | Kumokiri | Broadblade | Chisa |
| Phase 1 | Moongazer’s Sigil | Gauntlet | Iuno |
| Phase 2 | Unspoken Rue | Sword | Suoming |
| Phase 2 | Spectrum Blaster | Pistols | Lynae |
| Phase 2 | Freeze Frame | Rectifier | Lucilla |
Convene pity carries between banners in the usual way, so plan your Astrite around whichever phase holds your target. If Hsin is your priority, keep a reserve since Chisa’s Kumokiri and Iuno’s Moongazer’s Sigil share the same Phase 1 weapon window.
