The Wuthering Waves community is atwitter. Version 3.1 is coming soon. The official livestream is your chance to get free Astrite and see exclusive previews of what’s coming.
And now here’s all you need to care about: the livestream will take place at 6 a.m. ET on Jan. 23, 2026. Whip out that calendar, because those redemption codes are going to be hot as soon as they drop.
What Time Is the WuWa 3.1 Livestream?

Both channels allow chat interaction and free-to-enter giveaways. ® YouTube’s portable streams are better for catching up later.
Free Astrite: Livestream Redemption Codes
Every WuWa livestream follows the same pattern: three codes, 100 Astrite each, totaling 300 Astrite in free pulls. That’s nearly two full wishes toward your next 5-star character.
| Code Type | Reward |
|---|---|
| Code 1 | 100 Astrite |
| Code 2 | 100 Astrite |
| Code 3 | 100 Astrite |
| Total | 300 Astrite |
Codes are typically announced at certain times in the show, during the broadcast. Write them out or screenshot them immediately. They are case-sensitive and need to be redeemed on the official WuWa redemption portal or in-game settings.
Permanent Codes Still Active
| Code | Platform | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| WUTHERINGGIFT | All Platforms | 50 Astrite, Premium Resonance Potions, Energy Bags, Revival Inhalers, Shell Credits |
| WUWA4PC | PC Only | 50 Astrite, 20,000 Shell Credits |
Similar to Garena Free Fire redeem codes, these promotional codes offer valuable in-game rewards for active players.
Meet the New 5-Star Characters
Version 3.1 introduces two new Resonators from Startorch Academy in the Lahai-Roi region.
Aemeath arrives as a Fusion-element Sword user. Fusion characters typically excel at consistent damage output and shield-breaking capabilities. Sword wielders in WuWa usually offer fluid combat with quick rotations.
Luuk Herssen breaks an interesting pattern as a rare male 5-star Resonator. He’s a Spectro-element Gauntlet user. Spectro resonators typically provide support capabilities and resonance skill synergies, while Gauntlet users deliver heavy melee combat with crowd control potential.
The Startorch Academy affiliation suggests these characters share story connections and possibly team synergy bonuses. Gacha strategy tip: wait for official kit reveals and community testing before committing your hard-earned Astrite.
What Else Gets Announced?
Livestreams typically reveal:
- Character Kits: Detailed ability showcases, constellation effects, and signature weapons
- Story Content: New regions, questlines, and narrative developments in Lahai-Roi
- Quality of Life Updates: System improvements, event calendars, and gameplay adjustments
- Banner Schedule: Exact dates for limited character availability and weapon banners
The first 48 hours after a livestream is when the community theory-crafts like crazy. Reddit and YouTube are owned by character guides, team comps, resource calculators.
How to Redeem Your Codes
In-Game Method
- Open Settings menu
- Select “Redeem Code”
- Type code as is (case sensitive)
- Claim rewards from in-game mail
Web Portal Method
- Visit the official WuWa redemption website
- Log in with your game account
- Enter your server and character details
- Input redemption code
- Check in-game mail for rewards
Codes expire eventually. Kuro Games typically gives 7-14 days before codes become invalid, but redeeming immediately after the livestream ensures you don’t miss out.
Preparing for Version 3.1
Resource Checklist
If you’re pulling for Aemeath or Luuk, stock up on Fusion and Spectro-specific ascension materials now. Check the WuWa wiki for their likely material requirements based on their elements.
Shell Credits matter for weapon enhancement. Start farming weekly bosses if you’re low on Resonator EXP materials.
Strategic Considerations
Both characters share the same update window. Your Astrite goes further if you decide which character fits your account needs before pulling. Consider your current team composition. Do you need more DPS, support, or element coverage?
Version 3.1 might introduce new enemy types in Lahai-Roi that favor certain elements. Wait for community testing before committing to a full pity.
Final Thoughts
The WuWa 3.1 livestream delivers more than free currency. It’s your roadmap for the next six weeks of content. Whether you’re saving for Aemeath’s Fusion sword combat or Luuk’s Spectro gauntlet gameplay, the livestream gives you the information to plan smart.
Set that alarm, grab those codes, and decide where your Astrite goes. The Startorch Academy students are almost here.
