Nightmare: Kelpie Strategy



Dodge and Counter Fast Attacks

Nightmare: Kelpie is a very agile enemy, who has a tendency to blink across the battlefield similar to the Thundering Mephis, albeit minimally. Getting hit by its attacks inflict both Aero Erosion and Glacio Chafe which can significantly reduce your health if kept unchecked.

Be fast on your feet and Dodge or Counter its attacks as they come in order to avoid being debuffed and suffer from a significant health loss!

Beware AoE Attacks

Wuthering Waves Beware AoE Attacks

Nightmare: Kelpie will frequently use ranged AoE attacks, so stay alert. When it leaps away, prepare for a tentacle strike aimed at you. If it lunges toward you, it will trigger a large circular AoE upon landing.

Finally, when Nightmare: Kelpie begins to hover, it will either charge a bubble projectile or summon two consecutive circle AoEs beneath your feet, so be ready to dodge in quick succession!

Hit During Windows of Opportunities

Nightmare: Kelpie has a tendency to wind down after big AoE attacks, and idlly walk as it repositions on the pond. Use these moments to strike and deal damage!

Deplete Vibration Strength

Wuthering Waves Deplete Vibration Strength

Often triggering Intro Skills, Counterattacking, and bringing Resonators that have Vibration Strength depletion woven into their kit like Zani or Yuanwu can significantly fast-track stunning Nightmare: Kelpie. Consider its vibration strength to knock your enemy down quicker!

Burst Attack When Vibration Strength is Depleted

Wuthering Waves Burst Attack When Vibration Strength is Depleted

Once Nightmare: Kelpie's Vibration Strength is fully depleted, we recommend switching to your team's Main DPS and furiously hacking away at its health. This way, you can properly defeat it as the enemy is knocked down!

Nightmare: Kelpie Material Drops

Maybe one of the worst boss designs i ever saw. Understandable you want some kind of challenge but this one just is absolute unfun to deal with 3 enemys hitting you from behind and front. Didnt even dare to try the last holo because it sucks so hard. Best team for me was with zani/phope/sk since you spammed block and doge for the hole time.

Thank you, I was having trouble with time out on hologram with an all Aero squad, then I tried Carlotta. Breezed through levels 1-7 on all the others but kept timing out on Kelpie. Lol Looks like Calcharo and Mortefi are up to bat.
