Echoes are a critical aspect of the combat system in Wuthering Waves and is the equipment of the Resonators. Equipping Echoes enhances your Resonators’ stats and abilities, making them more effective in battles.
Echoes in Wuthering Waves
Echoes are the primary means of boosting your Resonators’ stats in Wuthering Waves. Each Echo provides various stat increases, including HP, ATK, DEF, and Energy Regeneration, and comes with an active Echo ability.
- Each Resonator can equip up to five Echoes.
- Only the Echo equipped in the first slot provides its active ability. These abilities can significantly enhance your Resonator’s combat effectiveness, providing unique skills or buffs. Other echoes from the second to the last slot will increase the passive stat.
- Echoes have a cost requirement that ranges from 1 to 4, depending on their class. Resonators have a cost limit starting at ten and increasing to 12 with upgrades.
Echo Classes and Costs
Echoes in Wuthering Waves are categorized into four classes, each costing differently. The total cost of Echoes that a character with max ascension can equip is 12.
- Common Class (1 cost)
- Elite Class (3 cost)
- Overload Class (4 cost)
- Calamity Class (4 cost)
Echo Ranks
The effectiveness of Echoes increases with their rank. Aim for Rank 5 (Gold) Echoes for end-game content and save materials for upgrading to this rank.
| Rank | Max Level | Max Number of Sub Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Rank 2 (Green) | 10 | 0 |
| Rank 3 (Blue) | 15 | 3 |
| Rank 4 (Purple) | 20 | 4 |
| Rank 5 (Gold) | 25 | 5 |
Level Up Echoes
Echoes can be leveled up to increase their main stat bonuses. However, the sub-stats must be unlocked via tuning and cannot be changed or increased once set. The maximum level of an Echo is determined by its rarity, ranging from Rank 2 to Rank 5. Higher-rarity Echoes provide better base stats and greater improvements when upgraded.

The Data Dock is where you manage and upgrade your Echo collection. Here’s what you need to know:
- Echo Drop Rate: This starts at 10% and can increase to 20% at Data Dock level 10. Higher levels mean more frequent Echo drops from defeated enemies.

- Enhanced Absorption Probability: This is the percentage chance of absorbing the highest rarity Echoes available to you. It starts at 20% and can reach 100% at Data Dock level 20.
- Cost Limit: This restricts the total cost of Echoes you can equip on a Resonator. It starts at 10 and increases to 12 at Data Dock level 9.
- Upgrading the Data Dock: Collect unique Echoes that provide Data Dock EXP based on their rarity to upgrade. Each unique Echo can contribute up to 55 EXP.
