Wuthering Waves kicks off the new year with a bang. Just minutes ago, Kuro Games dropped the first official teaser for Version 3.1, confirming Aemeath as a major upcoming Resonator. This digital ghost from Startorch Academy merges with a Mechascout in her Resonance Ability, transforming into starlight to soar through the night sky. Leaks from reliable sources like Seele have long pointed to her as the Phase 1 banner star, and now it is all but certain. Paired with her is Luuk Herssen, the Spectro doctor from Lahai-Roi, leaked for Phase 2. Here is everything we know about these banners, straight from leaks and fresh reveals.
Release Timeline and Banner Schedule
Version 3.1 follows the standard six-week cycle after 3.0's Phase 2 ends around January 15, 2026. Expect launch on February 5-6, 2026 (UTC-8 / UTC+8).
| Phase | Limited 5-Star | Weapon Banner |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Aemeath (Fusion Sword DPS) | Aemeath's Signature Sword |
| Phase 2 | Luuk Herssen (Spectro Gauntlets DPS) | Luuk's Signature Gauntlets |
Bonus perks? A free school uniform skin for the protagonist, tying into the academy theme. The new Fusion Rover form is a new version of the main character with a new kit.
Aemeath: The Starlight Hypercarry (Official Reveal)
Aemeath's drip marketing dropped today: "I hope to make you proud. I hope I haven't let you down..." She is a bubbly former Synchronist turned invisible digital ghost at Startorch Academy. Her kit revolves around Tune Rupture and Fusion Burst, shifting the meta toward explosive burst windows over sustained DPS.
- Rarity: 5-Star
- Attribute: Fusion
- Weapon: Sword
- Role: Resonance Liberation DPS, Fusion DoT, Tune Rupture/Strain
Leaks paint her as a high-risk hypercarry who stacks "Tune" mechanics for massive bursts. She might enable Fusion Rover teams. X is exploding with mecha-lesbian selfcest memes already.
Luuk Herssen: The Doctor Who Deals Damage (Leaks)
Luuk, the blonde Resonator Nursing Unit doctor, is confirmed for 3.1 Phase 2 via leaks. No healing in his kit despite the lore: he is pure offense.
- Rarity: 5-Star
- Attribute: Spectro
- Weapon: Gauntlets
- Role: Main DPS, Basic Attack, Tune Rupture/Strain
Expect sustained Spectro damage with Tune synergies, pairing perfectly with Lynae. His cybernetic arm hints at turret mechanics or flight. Fans are thirsty; X calls him "pink Nanami's doctor bro."
Why 3.1 Could Redefine the Meta
Both characters introduce Tunability (Tune Break/Rupture/Strain), a new mechanic for Lahai-Roi. Fusion Rover joins the roster, enabling academy-themed teams. Save those Astrites: beta tests post-New Year's will spill exact numbers.
Leaks from Seele and Hakush.in have a strong track record (nailed 3.0's Lynae/Mornye). With Aemeath's reveal locking Phase 1, Luuk's spot feels inevitable. Who are you pulling for? The mecha ghost or the damage doc? Version 3.1 enrollment starts soon: don't sleep on it.
