Unveiling Nature's Fury: Echoes from Wuthering Waves

Author: Lily Jan 20,2025

Wuthering Waves' elemental system has undergone significant changes in Version 2.0, particularly concerning Elemental Effects. While elements previously offered character buffs and enemy resistances, the update introduces direct interactions via Elemental Effects, moving beyond passive enhancements. This guide details these new Elemental Effects.

All Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs in Wuthering Waves

Elemental Effects, initially applied only by enemies, now impact players directly. Each element boasts a unique effect:

Elemental Effect	Effect Description
Havoc Bane	Stacks periodically (max 2), dealing Havoc DMG upon reaching 2 stacks and reapplying to nearby characters.
Glacio Chafe	Reduces movement speed per stack (max 10 stacks), freezing the resonator at max stacks. Players can "Struggle" to shorten the freeze duration.
Spectro Frazzle	Stacks reduce periodically, dealing Spectro DMG per stack. More stacks = more DMG over time.
Fusion Burst	Stacks up to 10 (unless removed), exploding at max stacks for significant Fusion DMG.
Aero Erosion	Deals Aero DMG periodically; stacks don't deplete to deal DMG. More stacks = more DMG over time.
Electro Flare	Reduces ATK based on stacks (1-4 stacks: -5%; 5-9 stacks: -7% + Magnetized effect; 10 stacks: -10%).

Dodging removes all effect stacks.

Elemental Effect-Related Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets

Currently, the utilization of Elemental Effects through Resonators and Echoes remains limited.

Only Spectro Rover, post-Version 2.0 rework, can apply Elemental Effects. Its Resonance Skill's Resonating Spin variant applies 2 stacks of Spectro Frazzle, also applying a Shimmer effect preventing stack decay, allowing consistent Spectro Frazzle buildup.

Echoes and Echo Sets Related to Elemental Effects:

Currently, only one Echo set benefits from Elemental Effects, primarily aiding Spectro Rover:

Echo Set - Eternal Radiance: 2pc: +10% Spectro DMG. 5pc: Applying Spectro Frazzle increases Crit. Rate by 20% for 15s; 10 stacks grant a 15% Spectro DMG Bonus for 15s.
Echo - Nightmare: Mourning Aix attacks deal 273.60% Spectro DMG, increased by 100.00% against Spectro Frazzle-affected enemies. The equipped Resonator gains a 12.00% Spectro DMG Bonus.

While the game hints at broader Elemental Effect integration, its current implementation remains niche, largely centered around Spectro Rover and the Eternal Radiance Echo Set.
