Full Tier List Explanations

SS Tier Echo Explanation

Echo	Explanation
Inferno Rider	• Extremely effective attacker when summoned in battle. • ATK is increased for 15s after skill activation • The skill deals up to 200%+ damage. • Can be used in the overworld to traverse quickly.
Impermanence Heron	• Increases Resonance Energy of the equipping character and the ATK of the next character taking the field. • The skill itself deals 300%+ total Havoc DMG. • The best Sub-DPS echo right now and will be ran by Moonlit Cloud sub-DPS in most builds.
Crownless	• Four consecutive attacks can deal a total of 300% damage. • Increases Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG for the equipping character after transforming into Crownless. • Can cancel out of Crownless form by dashing and still get the Havoc DMG Bonus. Really great when paired with Havoc DPS like Rover (Havoc) and Danjin.
Jué	• The best Echo for Spectro DPS characters like Jinhsi. • Buffs Resonance Skill DMG while dealing as much damage as possible, striking enemies 5 times in total. • Basically an Echo that deals huge amounts of damage on top of what your Resonator can do.
Fallacy of No Return	• The best Rejuvenating Glow echo for the best HP-scaling supports in the game. • Works with Shorekeeper, the best healer in the game right now. • Can charge Concerto Energy extremely fast by holding the echo button. Resonators can still act while Fallacy is delivering a flurry of punches.

S Tier Echo Explanation

Echo	Explanation
Dreamless	• The Dreamless is one of the most versatile echo in the game. • It deals a lot of Havoc DMG in a large AoE, perfect for clearing mobs in the overworld and the Tower of Adversity. • It can also deal as much damage against single-target enemies so you can also use it against bosses. • Only downside is it's a Havoc-centric echo, so you have to run a Havoc team for it. • Has a long field time and the resonator is vulnerable while the Dreamless is dashing around. Might be a bit perilous especially against Tactical Holograms.
Tempest Mephis	• Arguably the better of the two Mephis available in the game. • Has lower field time because you can get the buffs after two hits, versus six for the Thundering Mephis. • Generally a lot safer and will fit in more teams because of that.
Mech Abomination	• Extremely effective attacker when summoned in battle. • ATK is increased for 15s after skill activation • The skill deals up to 100%+ damage. • Can cancel out of Mech Abomination form by dashing and still get the ATK Bonus. A general ATK boosting echo that's good for everyone!
Bell-Borne Geochelone	• Great defensive echo to use that provides shields and buffs. • Can have two sonata effects: Rejuvenating Glow and Moonlit Clouds. This makes the echo a versatile option that can be slotted into a healer running Rejuvenating Glow or a Sub-DPS running Moonlit Clouds. • Prevents knockback and stagger as long as the shield is up. A valuable trait for when you need to hit all of the on-field character's combos.
Chasm Guardian	• The only 3-cost that reached the S-rank. • Perfect echo pair with healers. • Can also be used by attackers if you choose Lingering Tunes sonata set.

Best Echo Sonata Sets in the Early Game

Sonata Sets provide set bonuses if you equip echoes that have the proper sonata effect. There are a total of 9 sonata sets that provide different buffs on characters.

Towards the late game, you will aim to have a full set of 5 echoes belonging to the same sonata set to maximize the effect of the set. In the early game, however, you can opt to just mix the effect of 2 sonata sets by only equipping 2 pieces from each set. This will give your character a 2-pc bonus from both sets.

List of All Echoes and Sonata Effects Guide

Best Sonata Sets for DPS

Name	Set Effect
Lingering Tunes	2-pc Effect: ATK +10% 5-pc Effect: While on the field, ATK increases by 5% every 1.5s. This effect stacks up to 4 stacks. Outro Skill DMG +60%.

For most DPS resonators, you would want to use the Lingering Tunes set as this will increase the damage output of your characters. You will most likely move to a more elemental-focused set in the late game though, but Lingering Tunes is fine in the early game.

Equip Elemental Boosting Sonata After

Once you have farmed enough Echoes, you will get access to echoes that will provide Sonata Effects that boost the DMG of a certain elemental type. These are great when used with a DPS as elemental DMG is hard to come by when tuning for Echo stats.

Sonata Effect	Element DMG Bonus
Freezing Frost	Glacio
Molten Rift	Fusion
Void Thunder	Electro
Sierra Gale	Aero
Celestial Light	Spectro
Sun-sinking Eclipse	Havoc

Best Sonata Sets for Sub-DPS Supports

Name	Set Effect
Moonlit Clouds	2-pc Effect: Energy Regen +10% 5-pc Effect: After using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.

Sub-DPS resonators in Wuthering Waves can not only deal damage but also have Outro Skills that benefit the next character taking the field. For characters that fit this description, Moonlit Clouds is the usual best-in-slot Sonata set.

Best Sonata Sets for Healers

Name	Set Effect
Rejuvenating Glow	2-pc Effect: Healing Bonus +10% 5-pc Effect: Increases the ATK of all party members by 15% for 30s upon healing allies.

For healer support units, equipping two or more echoes that have a Rejuvenating Glow sonata effect will improve the overall healing capabilities of healers. Not only that, when healing the ATK of all party members will increase upon healing so it will also buff them!
