Uncover the Ethereal Echoes: Secrets of Wuthering Waves Revealed

Wuthering Waves Nightmare Echoes: A Comprehensive Guide

Nightmare Echoes are enhanced versions of standard Echoes in Wuthering Waves, significantly impacting Resonator usage. Superior to their regular counterparts, acquiring them is crucial for maximizing character potential. This guide explains what Nightmare Echoes are and how to obtain them.

What are Nightmare Echoes?

Nightmare Echoes are alternative variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes. They boast unique active skills and offer a percentage-based elemental damage boost, making them inherently more valuable than standard Echoes. This passive elemental damage bonus allows them to replace a 3-cost Echo, enabling a potent 441111 Echo composition.

Importantly, Nightmare Echoes retain the Sonata/Set effects of their regular counterparts, minimizing the need for build adjustments.
