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 a Nightmare Echo is crucial for maximizing character potential. This guide details their acquisition.

What are Nightmare Echoes?

Nightmare Echoes are alternative variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes, boasting unique active skills and a percentage-based elemental damage boost. This passive damage increase alone surpasses standard Echoes, allowing for a 441111 Echo composition (replacing a 3-cost Echo). Importantly, they retain the Sonata/Set effects of their regular counterparts, minimizing build adjustments.
