Wuthering Waves' elemental system has evolved significantly with Version 2.0. While initially providing passive buffs and resistances, elements now feature direct interactions via Elemental Effects. This guide details these effects and their impact on gameplay.
Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs:
All six elements possess unique status effects applied through specific attacks. Dodging removes these stacks.
| Elemental Effect | Effect Description |
|---|---|
| Havoc Bane | Stacks up to 2; at 2 stacks, deals Havoc DMG and reapplies to nearby characters. Stacks increase periodically. |
| Glacio Chafe | Reduces movement speed; intensity increases with stacks; at 10 stacks, freezes the resonator (players can "struggle" to speed thawing). |
| Spectro Frazzle | Stacks decrease periodically, dealing Spectro DMG; more stacks = more DMG over time. |
| Fusion Burst | Stacks up to 10; at 10 stacks, explodes, dealing significant Fusion DMG. |
| Aero Erosion | Deals Aero DMG periodically; stacks don't decrease to deal DMG; more stacks = more DMG over time. |
| Electro Flare | Reduces ATK based on stacks (1-4: -5%; 5-9: -7% + Magnetized effect; 10: -10%). |
Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets:
Currently, the utilization of Elemental Effects is limited, primarily benefiting Spectro Rover.
Resonators Applying Elemental Effects:
- Spectro Rover: Post-Version 2.0 rework, Spectro Rover uniquely applies Spectro Frazzle (2 stacks) via its Resonating Spin Resonance Skill. The Shimmer effect prevents stack decay, maximizing Spectro Frazzle uptime.
Echoes and Echo Sets Related to Elemental Effects:
Only one Echo set currently interacts with Elemental Effects:
- Eternal Radiance Echo Set: 2-piece bonus: +10% Spectro DMG. 5-piece bonus: Inflicting Spectro Frazzle increases Crit. Rate by 20% for 15s; attacking with 10 stacks grants a 15% Spectro DMG bonus for 15s.
- Nightmare Echo (Mourning Aix): Deals 273.60% Spectro DMG; DMG increased by 100% against enemies with Spectro Frazzle; +12% Spectro DMG bonus for the equipped Resonator.
