What are Phantom Echoes in Wuthering Waves?
As explained briefly above, Echoes are dropped at random from defeated enemies across the expansive world of Wuthering Waves. With each Echo you absorb using yourEcho Terminal, you can equip the Echo Abilities of that enemy to your Resonator and to other members of your team.
While each Echo has an increasing rarity the more you collect them and the higher the level of your Data Bank, a Phantom Echo is the rarest version you’ll find. But, it doesn’t come with any combat buffs or increased stats. They’re for the completionists out there, who want to catch them all. (You know who you are).
You’ll know when you’ve stumbled across a Phantom Echo because the enemy will shine, the Echo for absorbing will look a little different, and, a really big giveaway is that the Echo will say ‘Phantom' before its enemy name. For example, Phantom Hoartoise.

How to get Phantom Echoes in Wuthering Waves
There are three different ways to get Phantom Echoes in Wuthering Waves:
Firstly,Phantom Echo farming locationshave been identified across the Map where you’re most likely to pick one up. For the Phantom Hoartoise, head to Tolling Stream or Thorny Passage. For the Phantom Rocksteady Guardian, head to Withering Frontline or north of the Tower of Adversity.
There’s no guarantee you’ll find a Phantom Echo in these places, but there’s a higher chance than just searching at random. A handy tip though, if you or your friend find a Phantom Echo at any point, before you engage in combat invite each other to your world, whoever found it, and you’ll both get a chance to absorb it after the battle. Two pairs of eyes searching for Phantom Echoes is certainly better than one. They respawn daily, so be sure to check back in these spots.

Secondly, thePoints ShopandIllusive Shopboth have Phantom Echoes for sale. In the Points Shop, there’s Phantom Echoes under both the Adversity Exchange tab and Simulation Training Store tab. These may change over time, so it’s always worth checking back. You’ll need to obtain a certain amount of Hazard Records or Data Sets to buy them though. At time of writing, for example, Phantom Mourning Aix requires players to obtain 3,500 Data Sets in total.
There’s also an opportunity to buy a Phantom Echo from the Illusive Shop once you’ve completed a Depths of Illusive Realm challenge.
Lastly,find them in the wild. We know this tip isn’t particularly helpful, but it is important to note that you can, if you’re lucky, stumble across Phantom Echoes anywhere in the Overworld. It’s not a waste of time though, as you’ll be leveling up through exploration and earning XP on your travels. You’ll always be traversing the expansive open world, regardless, just keep an eye out.
That’s all there is to know about getting your hands on your very own Phantom Echoes collection. Our own hunt hasn’t been so plentiful, yet, but it’s certainly helped us build our combat skills fromIntro and Outro SkillstoForte Circuit.
