Wuthering Waves Nightmare Echoes: A Comprehensive Guide

Nightmare Echoes are enhanced versions of standard Echoes in Wuthering Waves, significantly impacting Resonator usage. Superior to their regular counterparts, acquiring them is crucial for maximizing character potential. This guide details their function and acquisition.

Nightmare Echoes are alternative variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes. They feature unique active skills and offer a percentage-based elemental damage boost, inherently surpassing standard Echoes in value.

Importantly, they retain the Sonata/Set effects of their regular counterparts, minimizing build adjustments.
