Best Echoes in Wuthering Waves
Determining the best Echoes in Wuthering Waves is a subjective process that depends heavily on which of the game’snearly 20 Resonatorsyou’re prioritising. But the following five Echoes, all in our S-Tier ranking above, are excellent choices for a starting player and include some of my personal favourites.
Crownless

Fusion Warrior
Fusion Warrior might be a lowly 1-Cost Echo, but it’s an effective one that looks cool. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Kuro Games
The Fusion Warrior’s sleek appearance and serrated arms make it one of the more visually striking low-level enemies in Wuthering Waves, and it’s an excellent 1-Cost Echo on top of that. These warriors will serve you well in the early game if you like to take the defensive route, as they’re all about counterattacking and unleashing a handy 180% Fusion damage. Even after your Resonators have collected much more powerful Echoes, Fusion Warriors are still handy to equip on any character with the Fusion Attribute, such as Chixia or Encore, or the Electro Attribute, such as Calcharo or Yinlin.
Inferno Rider
Without a doubt, Inferno Rider possesses one of the best Echo designs in all of Wuthering Waves. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Kuro Games
Violet-Feathered Heron
For hefty Electro damage, the Violet-Feathered Heron is a sizzling choice. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Kuro Games
Wuthering Waves' various Herons were much-liked picks in the various closed beta events leading up to launch, and they’re still all-around excellent Echoes now that the full game has released. My preference goes to the Violet-Feathered Hero, which lets you unleash counterattacks for 180% Electro Damage and recover 5 Concerto Energy if you’re attacked in advance. Pair the Violet-Feathered Heron with Electro Resonators like Yinlin or Yuanwu, or a Resonator like Encore who doesn’t have much in the way of defensive parry options.
That concludes our look at the best Echoes in Wuthering Waves. For more information on Kuro Games' exciting new gacha experience and the Resonators waiting to be unlocked, check out our guide toWuthering Waves next Banner and current Banner.
