What Are Special Enemies?

Significantly Stronger Enemies with Fixed Levels

Wuthering Waves - Significantly Stronger Enemies with Fixed Levels

Special enemies are enemies with a glowing red mist that are exceptionally strong and scattered around Solaris-3. To defeat them, you'll need to be comfortable with the Combat System and make good use of Parries and Counterattacks.

Unlike other regular enemies, they do not scale with SOL3 Phase Level. If you find yourself unable to beat a special enemy, you can always come back later once you have raised the level of your Resonators.

Character Leveling Guide

Drop 4 or 5-Star Echoes

Special enemies also give a 4 or 5-Star Echo when defeated, making them worthwhile to seek out and farm if you can reliably defeat them. They also reward trophies for the first time you beat them.

Echo Tier List

May Reward Golden Supply Chests / Heritage

Special Enemies may unlock Golden Tidal Heritage or Chests which nets you the maximum number of Astrites possible for the same type of item. This reward system started in Rinascita, so older Special Enemies from Huanglong and Black Shores might not have these.

Respawns Daily

Based on our observation, it seems Special Enemies respawn everyday so you can fight them after server reset. But, if you wish to farm more special enemies, consider joining other players in Multiplayer Mode.

What Time Does The Server Reset?

It's nice to show us the locations we are for some at level 90 when we see some "monsters" at level 120 there is a time when we have to stop taking players for baka online games practically no more people play there than anyone who speaks our language it would be nice to put the ideal team if we have the characters of the event since it is random and algorithmic for the sole purpose of buying
