The best echoes in Wuthering Waves and where to get them

The best echoes in Wuthering Waves will not only make your team stronger, but also unlock new gameplay options for you, and even allow for different team compositions.

Echoes are essentially the armor system in Wuthering Waves, and while they do offer a chance to unleash incredible powers, they’ll also have stats and passive buffs attached to them too. You’ll want to mix and match these to get the right Sonata Effects for your character’s abilities, like boosting Spectro damage on Rover, your main character, and things of that sort.

Below, we detail the best echoes in Wuthering Waves and show you where to find them.

The best echoes in Wuthering Waves

For this guide, we’re going to focus on the raw power of echoes, which means we’re going to be talking about Overlord and Calamity echoes. At a glance, here are the best echoes in Wuthering Waves:

• Mourning Aix
• Feilian Beringal
• Bell-Borne Geochelone
• Impermanence Heron
• Mech Abomination
• Inferno Rider

These echoes are the strongest in the game, with a four-cost associated with them — this also means you’ll need to be fairly strong to take them on in the first place, so keep that in mind. You’ll be able to get higher rarities as you level up your Data Bank too, which means they’ll come with bigger stat boosts. You can only have a total Echo cost on a character of 10 to begin with, so picking a strong main echo is essential.

Let’s break down why these echoes are the best, and where you can find them.

Mourning Aix location

Mourning Aix is a powerful echo that will perform two heavy-hitting Spectro-infused attacks. After dealing damage, it’ll boost the current Resonator’s Spectro damage and Resonance Liberation damage by 12% for 15 seconds, which is a worthwhile buff. This makes this echo an excellent choice for the Spectro Rover, who can deal some pretty decent damage.

You can find this echo to the south of the map near Fallen Grave.

Feilian Beringal location

If you’ve gone for the five-star character Jiyan, then you’ll want an Aero echo worthy of them. Feilian Beringal is that echo, and strikes out at enemies when used, performing two hits if it connects. Along with that, it’ll boost your Resonator’s Aero damage and heavy attack damage by 12% for 15 seconds too.

You can find this echo to the south in the Dim Forest region among the trees there.

Bell-Borne Geochelone location

In most gacha games, your main defensive options are healers and shielders. Bell-Borne Geochelone falls into the shielder category. It gets a big boost based on defense, which means it works well with characters like Taoqi who want a lot of defense already. Along with a big chunk of Glacio damage, it also grants a 15-second shield that provides a damage boost and substantial damage reduction.

The Bell-Borne Geochelone is to the northwest of the map, just south of the Gorges of Spirits area.

Impermanence Heron location

The Impermanence Heron unleashes a substantial amount of Havoc damage, but also grants extra Resonance Energy when it does so. Along with that, as long as you use your Outro Skill in the next 15-seconds, it’ll grant whoever you switch to a 12% damage boost for 15 seconds.

You can find this horrifying bird to the north of the map.

Mech Abomination location

Our Electro pick is Mech Abomination. Mech Abomination will attack enemies in front of you, but you can use attacks to allow it to charge up a huge blast of damage after a short time. Along with that, it also grants an attack boost for 25 seconds, which is always nice.

If you want Mech Abomination, you can get them near the Court of Savantae Ruins, to the southeast of the map.

Inferno Rider location

Sometimes you just need to turn into a demonic bike rider, and that’s what Inferno Rider has covered. Inferno Rider transforms you into the demonic biker, but also allows you to launch up to three slashes, and will then boost Fusion damage and Basic Attack damage by 12% for 15 seconds.

Inferno Rider is in the Sea of Flames, to the west of the map.

Best Echo Summon event choices in Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves has a special event running through June 6 that’ll allow you to actually summon an echo into the game. Taking part in this event grants you some astrite, which is nice, but it also lets you pick an echo. Basically, you have to complete daily missions online to do some summons, and each time you do this you can unlock new echoes.

You can also share these with friends, so make sure you’re talking to your mates to share any good ones you all get. There are a lot of options here, and there are no really bad choices as long as you have a rough idea of what to go for. Generally speaking, you’ll want to go for a yellow-rarity echo, because that’ll actually benefit you in-game thanks to the Data Bank experience it gives you.

We recommend picking your favorite one from among any yellow-rarity options you’ve unlocked, but if you get lucky, that can still leave you with a lot of choices. Good general DPS choices are the Violet-Feathered Heron and Cyan-Feathered Heron, along with the Autopuupet Scout. For more supportive choices, Viridblaze Saurian, Chasm Guardian, and Spearback are all good options.
