The wait is finally over for Wuthering Waves fans who missed out on Camellya the first time around. As of July 13, 2026, the 5-Star Havoc Resonator returns with the "End of Lost Trail" Featured Resonator Convene, promising a fresh chance to add this high-damage sword wielder to any roster. Alongside her, a selection of powerful 4-Star characters—Danjin, Chixia, and Yuanwu—also enjoy dramatically boosted drop rates for the event's entire duration.
Rumors and datamines had been swirling since early June 2026, but official confirmation arrived in the Version 2.5 update. The event runs from July 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM server time until August 3, 2026 at 9:59 AM, giving players three full weeks to stockpile Radiant Tides and test their luck. Anyone who has reached Union Level 8 or cleared the combat trial in "First Resonance" and activated the Convene function can start pulling immediately. 👇
🎯 Who’s on the Banner?
The star of the show is, of course, Camellya – the 5-Star Havoc Resonator known for her swift, combo-based swordplay and devastating area-of-effect damage. Even in 2026's evolving meta, she remains a top-tier main DPS for abyssal fights and hypercarry teams. What makes this rerun especially attractive are the side rate-ups:
-
Danjin (4-Star) – a versatile Havoc sub-DPS who synergizes perfectly with Camellya’s kit by shredding enemy defenses.
-
Chixia (4-Star) – a Pyro gunner who excels at applying burn stacks from a safe distance and can fit hybrid teams.
-
Yuanwu (4-Star) – an Aero swordsman who, though often underestimated, offers strong crowd control and energy regeneration support.
All four Resonators receive boosted drop rates exclusively on the "End of Lost Trail" banner. Pulling for Camellya almost guarantees you’ll pick up valuable constellations for these 4-Stars along the way.
📊 Pity System & Exclusive Access
The Convene rules are exactly what veteran players expect, but they bear repeating for newcomers:
-
Every 10-attempt batch guarantees at least one 4-Star or higher rarity item, which can be a Resonator or a weapon.
-
Hard pity kicks in at 80 attempts for a 5-Star, but the 50/50 rule applies: your first 5-Star has a 50% chance of being the featured Camellya. If you lose the coin flip, the next 5-Star is guaranteed to be her.
-
The guarantee count is shared across all Featured Resonator Convene banners and carries over indefinitely – so any pity you built on a previous event remains active here. That’s a huge relief for anyone who held back on the recent June banners!
-
🚨 Crucially, Camellya is exclusive to this banner. Once the event ends, she will not be obtainable through standard pulls or future rotating banners unless Kuro Game announces another rerun, which is never guaranteed.
💎 Waveband Exchange – Secure Your Upgrades
For those lucky enough to pull a dupe (or for planners aiming at Resonance Chain upgrades), Camellya’s Waveband is simultaneously added to the Afterglow Coral Store during the event. You can purchase it up to two times using the limited currency earned from wishes. This is the safest way to hit critical milestones like Waveband 2 without relying entirely on RNG. After August 3, the Waveband disappears from the store, so budget your Afterglow Coral accordingly. Many theorycrafters recommend at least picking up one copy if you plan to use her as a primary carry, as her Wavebands significantly boost her dodge counter damage and team-wide buff potential.
⚔️ Test Before You Invest: Ascendant Aces Trials
Not sure if Camellya’s playstyle clicks with you? The event introduces all four rate-up Resonators into Ascendant Aces as Trial Resonators. Head over to the trials menu and complete their individual challenge stages to earn rewards like Astrite, upgrade materials, and exclusive profile cosmetics. The trials are designed to showcase each character’s optimal rotation and team synergy, so even veteran players can learn new combos before committing resources.
In the trials, Camellya is paired with Danjin to demonstrate her double-Havoc burst rotation. Watching her chain charged attacks into her ultimate in mere seconds often convinces hesitant pullers. The rewards are modest but add up – especially the radiant tides that feed right back into the Convene.
🗓️ Stacking with Other July Events
Wuthering Waves’ July 2026 calendar is unusually packed. Just a week before Camellya’s return, the limited-time “Midsummer Reverie” exploration event went live, showering players with extra Radiant Tides just in time for this banner. If you’ve been completing those event stages, you likely have a healthy stash ready. Additionally, the ongoing login campaign rewards an additional 10 Radiant Tides over the first 14 days of the Camellya banner period. So if you start now, you can easily reach 40+ pulls without spending a single Asterite.
📝 Pulling Strategy & Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a free-to-play adventurer or a low spender, aim for this priority:
-
One copy of Camellya if you lack a Havoc hypercarry. She trivializes many current endgame floors, including the Echoing Corridor and Abyss 12.
-
Resonance Chain 1 or 2 if your team already has her and you want to future-proof her damage. The Waveband store makes this relatively painless.
-
Build the 4-Stars passively – Danjin at C6 becomes a monster partner, and Chixia is a sleeper hit for Pyro stages.
Don’t forget to complete the Ascendant Aces trials early to grab the free Radiant Tides and materials. And if the 50/50 curses you, remember that the guarantee will carry over to the next Featured Resonator banner, which datamines hint might be a long-awaited Aero support.
With all these bonuses and the sheer power Camellya brings, this rerun is easily one of the best investment windows of 2026. May your Radiant Tides glow gold quickly! ✨
