Wuthering Waves: All Nightmare Echoes Locations

Wuthering Waves Nightmare Echoes: A Comprehensive Guide

Nightmare Echoes are enhanced versions of standard Echoes in Wuthering Waves, significantly impacting Resonator usage. They're superior to regular Echoes, offering crucial advantages for optimizing character builds. This guide details what they are and how to obtain them.

What are Nightmare Echoes?

Nightmare Echoes are alternative variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes. They feature unique active skills and a significant percentage-based elemental damage boost, making them more valuable than standard Echoes. This passive elemental damage boost allows for a 441111 Echo composition, replacing a 3-cost Echo. Importantly, they retain the same Sonata/Set effects as their regular counterparts, minimizing build adjustments.
