Wuthering Waves: Elemental Effects, Explained

Wuthering Waves' Version 2.0 introduces significant changes to its elemental system, particularly with Elemental Effects. While elements previously offered buffs and resistances, Version 2.0 allows for more direct interactions. This guide details these new Elemental Effects.

All Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs

Elemental Effects, previously limited to enemy application, now impact players. Each element has a unique effect:

Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets

Currently, the use 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 update, Spectro Rover uniquely applies Elemental Effects via its Resonance Skill's "Resonating Spin." This applies 2 stacks of Spectro Frazzle, and the Shimmer effect prevents stack decay, allowing for consistent buildup.

Echoes and Echo Sets:

Currently, only one Echo Set benefits from Elemental Effects, primarily supporting Spectro Rover:

• Echo Set - Eternal Radiance: 2-piece bonus: +10% Spectro DMG. 5-piece bonus: Spectro Frazzle inflicts increases Crit. Rate by 20% for 15s; 10 stacks grant a 15% Spectro DMG Bonus for 15s.
• Echo - Nightmare: Mourning Aix attacks deal 273.60% Spectro DMG. DMG against Spectro Frazzle-affected enemies is increased by 100.00%. The equipped Resonator gains a 12.00% Spectro DMG Bonus.

While Elemental Effects are currently niche, their future role in Wuthering Waves' gameplay appears promising.
