In Wuthering Waves, there are many different gameplay mechanics to consider as you establish a team of Resonators and set out on an adventure to complete various quests and objectives.
One of the primary mechanics is Echoes, which are collectibles that can be equipped to a Resonator to gain extra perks and skills for them to use while out exploring or engaged in combat. For this reason, knowing all Echoes available in the game, as well as the abilities and Sonata Effects they provide, can come in very handy and enable you to create the most beneficial builds for each Wuthering Waves character.
Wuthering Waves: All Free Characters (& How to Get Them)
In Wuthering Waves, there are several free characters that you can obtain during your adventure, so knowing how to do so is important.
All Echoes, Abilities, & Sonata Effects in Wuthering Waves
In Wuthering Waves, Echoes are a type of gear that can be equipped with your Resonators to provide additional perks and skills that come in incredibly handy during combat. Echoes are obtained by defeating various enemies around the world, as some will leave behind a glowing, spectral silhouette figure that can be absorbed.
Echoes can either be 1 cost, 2 cost, or 3 cost. When it comes to equipping Echoes to a Resonator, each Resonator will be able to have up to five different Echoes equipped at a single time, depending on the total cost stat held by the character in question. The first Echo slot is where your primary Echo will be equipped, granting the benefit of buffs to your stats, as well as a unique skill to use in combat alongside your other moves. On the other hand, the other four slots are where you can assign additional Echoes, which will provide beneficial boosts to your stats, but not the addition of their unique skill, such as the primary Echo.
By equipping multiple Echoes that share the same Sonata to a single Resonator, you will be able to activate various Sonata Effects. Sonata Effects is a special set bonus effect that can amplify the abilities of your Resonator in various ways, such as increasing their damage output, energy regeneration, or healing capabilities. For this reason, learning what each Echo does and which ones may synergize well together to create Sonata Effects can be highly beneficial, enabling the strongest builds for your characters.
