Wuthering Waves players have been buzzing with excitement over the upcoming Version 3.0 update, titled “We Who See the Stars,” which introduces the vibrant new region of Lahai Roi and a roster of fresh characters. Leading the charge in Phase 1 is Lynae, the 5-star Spectro Pistols wielder whose stylish, high-energy design and explosive combat potential have already captured the community’s attention.
Lynae’s Banner Release: Exact Date and Time
Lynae’s limited-time banner, featuring her signature weapon, will debut alongside the Version 3.0 launch on December 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM UTC+8 (server time). This follows the standard pre-update maintenance, expected to conclude around that time, allowing players to dive straight into pulls.
The banner is scheduled to run for the typical Phase 1 duration of approximately 21 days, ending around January 15, 2026 (UTC+8). Phase 1 will also feature reruns for Cartethyia (5-star Aero Sword) and Ciaccona (4-star Aero Pistol), making it a prime opportunity for F2P players to target multiple strong units.

Who Is Lynae? A Quick Character Overview
Lynae is a Startorch Academy prep student from Lahai Roi, sporting a head-turning gyaru-inspired look with electric vibes and a custom motorcycle that screams speed and style. Voiced by Elsie Lovelock (EN), Zhu Jing (CN), and Inoue Marina (JP), her kit revolves around Spectro damage with high mobility, invisibility mechanics, and burst potential, positioning her as a top-tier main DPS.
Recent official showcases, including her EP “Catch Me If You Can” and resonator trailer “MY OWN CHOICE,” hint at a mysterious past—complete with darker alternate designs and themes of identity and redemption—that ties into Version 3.0’s narrative. Fans are already speculating about her lore connections, but one thing’s clear: Lynae is built for fast-paced, aggressive playstyles.
