Wuthering Waves: All Nightmare Echoes Locations

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 nature and acquisition.

What are Nightmare Echoes?

Nightmare Echoes are alternative variants of 4-cost (Overlord-class) Echoes, dropped by challenging enemies. They feature unique active skills and offer a percentage-based elemental damage boost, making them inherently more valuable than standard Echoes.
