How to Farm Echoes and Echo Pity

Farm powerful Echoes in Wuthering Waves by going to Tacet Fields and challenging bosses. See how to farm Echoes, how to get 5-Star Echoes, as well as how to use them and how Echo Pity works.

How to Farm Echoes

Echo Farming Tips
Go to Tacet Fields Maximize Enhanced Drop Rate for Bosses Hunt Echoes in the Overworld Use the Data Merge Feature Play Co-Op

Go to Tacet Fields

If you don't have any particular use for your Waveplates, you can spend them on Tacet Field Cleanups. Tacet Fields reward random Echoes and Echo enhancement materials like Tubes and Tuners. This isn't recommended unless you're farming for Echo materials as Waveplates are better spent on other resources.

Maximize Enhanced Drop Rate for Bosses

Every week, you'll have 15 chances to make Bosses drop Echoes at a higher rate. Make sure to maximize the Enhanced Drop Rate by using these chances on powerful Cost 4 Echoes that your team needs.

Raise Data Bank Level

You can increase the Enhanced Drop Rate by increasing your Data Bank Level, making farming easier on higher levels. It's also recommended to level it quickly so you can reach the 20% Base Drop Rate sooner.

Enhanced Drop Rate and Data Bank Level

Hunt Echoes in the Overworld

The best way to get more Echoes is to beat more Echoes. Explore around the world and defeat all enemies that can drop Echoes along the way. It's best to do this with a high Data Bank Level so you'll have better chances of getting high-rarity Echoes.

If there's an Echo you want to target, use the Guidebook's Echo Hunting to automatically track them.

List of All Echoes

Defeat Special Enemies

Although they're tough to beat when unprepared, defeating some special enemies can give you a 4-star or 5-star Echo, regardless of your Data Bank Level.

Use the Data Merge Feature

While farming, you may end up with a lot of Echoes that don't have particularly useful stats or Sonatas. You can use Data Merge to combine five of them into another random Echo.

How to Unlock Data Merge

Play Co-Op

Since your world only has a limited number of Echoes per day, you can bypass the reset by farming Echoes in other worlds.

Reach Data Bank Level 15

5-Star Echoes start appearing when you reach Data Bank level 15 and defeat enemies. This does not mean they are guaranteed drops however.

Data Merge Echoes

Another way of obtaining 5-Star Echoes is through the Data Merge function. The resulting Echoes you get are tied to your Data Bank level, so it's recommended to only merge Echoes at Data Bank level 15.

The chances of getting a 5-Star Echo from Data Merge is increased when you merge Echoes with higher rarity.

5-Star Echo Selector From Illusive Realm

How to Raise Your SOL3 Phase Level

Defeat Special Enemies

Special enemies drop 5-Star Echoes, with higher-leveled ones having a greater chance of dropping one.

They have fixed levels but are quite challenging. If you can't defeat one, consider coming back when you have raised the level of your Resonators.

How to Use Echoes

Equip Echoes

After you've absorbed Echoes, go to the Echoes tab in the left side of the Resonators screen. You'll then find different slots to the right where you can equip up to 5 Echoes.

The Echo you equip in the first slot will be assigned as your Echo Skill. Each Resonator can equip different Echoes so feel free to experiment and which ones suit your play style.

Best Echo Cost Combinations

Press Q to Use Echo Skill

Use your Echo Skill by pressing Q on the keyboard. Your Echo Skill will immediately go into cooldown when used.

When fighting enemies, you essentially have 3 Echo Skills when you swap characters in and out of combat.

Echo Pity Farming

Guarantees an Echo Every Few Fights

Based on a pattern discovered by KokkyGachas, Echoes can guarantee a drop if you don't get any drops after a certain number in a row. The pity counter is based on Class, so if you defeat 3 Elites in a row without a drop, the next Elite Echo will guarantee a drop.

Overlord and Calamity Echoes Have Different Pity

Overlord and Calamity Echoes are counted separately but both guarantee a drop if you fail to roll one even with an Enhanced Drop Rate. This means if you beat a Calamity Echo like the Bell-Borne Geochelone and don't get a drop, the pity only guarantees the next Calamity Echo will drop but not Overlord Echoes.

Possibly a Bug

The Echo pity system is possibly a bug, so it may get patched in future updates. Take advantage of the Echo pity system to get the specific Echo you want!
