Wuthering Waves 3.1 is shaping up to be a Startorch Academy kind of patch, and Luuk Herssen is already giving “I’m totally calm, please don’t camp outside my office” energy. In the lore blurbs floating around, he’s framed as the academy’s doctor + counselor tied to the Resonator Nursing Unit—so yeah, he’s basically the guy who knows everyone’s secrets (and probably your pull plans too).
This post is just a quick, spoiler-light look at the Luuk skill leak for WuWa 3.1—just the fun part: “is he my next obsession?”

Luuk Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Spectro | Weapon: Gauntlets
Luuk Herssen is a rumored 5★ Spectro Gauntlets Resonator expected around Wuthering Waves 3.1. Lore-wise, he’s introduced as Dr. Luuk Herssen from the Resonator Nursing Unit at Startorch Academy—the “calm professional” type who definitely feels like he has secrets.
Gameplay (from the leak sheet) reads like a fast, aerial-leaning skirmisher: multi-hit air strings, a stamina dive, and a two-charge teleport you can even use mid-air. He also swaps into a rotating skill chain, drops a ground array you can detonate, and plays around a resource “window” state for powered follow-ups—plus extra Harmony stacking interactions layered on top.

Conclusion
Big picture: Luuk Herssen is one of the faces people are already associating with the Startorch Academy / Lahai-Roi arc, so it’s no surprise the Wuthering Waves 3.1 Luuk leak is getting bookmarked like a grocery list.
Leaks can (and do) shift, so treat this as hype fuel, not patch notes. And if you’re already in “okay I’m saving for Luuk” mode, sorting your top-up plan early is the move—LDShop is a chill way to keep patch day as pull day, not “why am I in payment screens at 2am?”
