Wuthering Waves' elemental system has evolved significantly in Version 2.0. While initially serving primarily as character buffs and enemy resistances, elements now feature direct interactions through Elemental Effects. This guide details these effects and their impact.

Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs:

All six elements in Wuthering Waves inflict unique status effects, mostly functioning as damage over time (DoT). Dodging removes these stacks.

Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets:

Currently, the utilization of Elemental Effects is limited. Only a few Resonators, Echoes, and Echo sets interact with them.

Resonators Applying Elemental Effects:

• Spectro Rover: Post-Version 2.0 rework, Spectro Rover uniquely applies Elemental Effects. Its Resonance Skill's Resonating Spin variant applies 2 stacks of Spectro Frazzle, also applying a Shimmer effect to prevent stack decay. This allows sustained Spectro Frazzle buildup.

Echoes and Echo Sets:

Currently, only one Echo set benefits from Elemental Effects, primarily for Spectro Rover:

• Echo Set - Eternal Radiance: 2-piece bonus: +10% Spectro DMG. 5-piece bonus: Inflicting Spectro Frazzle increases Crit. Rate by 20% for 15s; 10 stacks grant a 15% Spectro DMG bonus for 15s.
• Echo - Nightmare: Increases DMG dealt to enemies with Spectro Frazzle by 100%. Provides a 12% Spectro DMG bonus to the equipped Resonator.

In conclusion, while still niche, Elemental Effects represent a growing aspect of Wuthering Waves' combat, with potential for future expansion beyond Spectro Rover.
