Wuthering Waves: Top Strategies for Farming Echoes, Echo EXP : Games : Gamenguide

In Wuthering Waves, Echoes are a key feature that enhances your Resonator's abilities. When defeating Tacet Discords, there's a chance they drop Echo fragments, which you can absorb.

Echoes function as item sets, offering stat bonuses and strengthening characters when equipped. Acquiring Echoes involves luck and patience typical of gacha games, but they enrich the post-apocalyptic world of Wuthering Waves, adding depth to character progression.

How To Farm Echoes In Wuthering Waves

There are two main ways to get echoes in the game: hunting in the open world or farming Tacet Fields. The first is great for target farming specific Echoes, while the other provides a more convenient way to complete Echo Sets and earn materials for Echo EXP.

Open-World Echo Farming

The best way new players can get Echoes is to hunt monsters in the open world. You can either explore on your own and beat every non-human enemy you see, or you can target-farm specific ones. To locate monsters in the game world, navigate to the Echo Gallery within your Data Bank.

All Tacet Discord enemies have a 20% base chance of leaving an Echo behind when defeated, and you can keep hunting them down until there's nothing left to hunt in your world. Remember, Wuthering Waves features an Echo Pity system designed to increase your chances of obtaining desired Echoes.

Tip: All Tacet Discord bosses can be farmed for their Echoes even without claiming their rewards. They respawn shortly after being defeated, and you don't need to teleport away from their arenas for them to reappear.

Tacet Fields

After advancing sufficiently in the main quest line, Tacet Fields will unlock, resembling Artifact Domains from Genshin Impact. These fields offer a more convenient method of farming compared to open-world hunting, sparing you the need to travel between locations. Also, each Tacet Field drops Echoes from two specific sets, which is great if you really want to get a full Rejuvenating Glow or Moonlit Clouds set as soon as possible.

The downside to Tacet Field farming is, of course, the Waveplate consumption. You need 60 Waveplates to collect your rewards, which means you'll only be able to farm four fields a day by default. An added benefit of Tacet Fields is their provision of Echo EXP materials, facilitating the leveling up of acquired Echoes.

How To Farm Echo EXP in Wuthering Waves

Tacet Field farming is going to be your main way of farming Echo EXP. You can challenge them as many times as you'd like per day, though you can only get their rewards if you spend Waveplates on them. Enemies that spawn during Tacet Field challenges will not drop Echoes, and non-leveled Echoes will not give any EXP either.

If you're all out of Waveplates, the next best thing you can do is to purchase Echo EXP materials from stores, including:

The Points Shop in the in-game store
The Illusive Realms store
The Souvenir Store in Jinzhou

To acquire the currency necessary for purchases in the Points Shop, you can complete challenges in the Tower of Adversity and Tactical Hologram. Meanwhile, you will earn currency for the Depths of Illusive Realms store by completing any difficulty level of that activity.

As for the Jinzhou Souvenir Store, you'll need Wood Textured Shards, a type of currency obtained by opening chests and Tidal Heritages, or completing challenges.

These secondary sources are limited, however. Points Shop items refresh monthly, and it's unsure if the Illusive Realms reward store will refresh. The items in the Souvenir Store are probably limited, meaning that once you've bought everything, there may be nothing left to purchase.
