Echoes in Wuthering Waves can be obtained by defeating mobs, completing Tacet Field challenges, and doing events. The rarity and the chances of getting an Echo drop will completely depend on your Data Bank level. Fortunately, farming Echoes does not consume any Waveplates (stamina), but the farming limit will still depend on the number of enemies available on the map.

Echo cost

The Echo system also has a cost limit that restricts you from equipping multiple Echoes from bosses. Depending on your Data Bank level, the total cost limit can be between eight to 12. The cost is also classified into three types:

• COST4: Dropped by Overload and Calamity enemies.
• COST3: Dropped by Elite enemies.
• COST1: Dropped by Common enemies.

The best cost-efficient set-up for Echo on a character is 4-3-3-1-1. COST4 will be the lead Echo whose ability you can use during combat and the remaining will complete the set to grant the Sonata Effect.

Echo ability and stats

Each Echo offers an ability unique to them and does not change. For example, a Hoartoise can only provide healing to the party members and a Hoochief can only deal Aero damage to the enemies. However, the Echo can have different attributes that determine their Sonata Effects and the set bonus.

Echo stats (Image via Kuro Games)

Each Echo also has two main stats. One is random, and it will be different for all the Echoes. For example, one can have an Electro Bonus and another can get a Crit stat. Meanwhile, the other main stat is always a flat ATK or HP, depending on the Echo. Furthermore, you can unlock more sub-stats on the Echoes, such as ATK%, Energy, HP%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and more.
