Unveiling Nature's Impact: Wuthering Waves Explored

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.

Elemental Effect Effect Description
Havoc Bane Stacks periodically (max 2). At 2 stacks, all stacks are removed, dealing Havoc DMG and reapplying to nearby characters.
Glacio Chafe Reduces movement speed per stack (up to 10 stacks), freezing the resonator at max stacks. Players can "Struggle" to reduce freeze duration.
Spectro Frazzle Stacks automatically decrease, dealing Spectro DMG per stack. More stacks = more DMG over time.
Fusion Burst Stacks up to 10 (unless removed), exploding at max stacks for significant Fusion DMG.
Aero Erosion Deals Aero DMG periodically while active. Stacks don't deplete to deal DMG; more stacks = more DMG over time.
Electro Flare Reduces ATK based on stacks: 1-4 stacks (-5%), 5-9 stacks (-7% + Magnetized effect), 10 stacks (-10%).

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.
