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

Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs

Wuthering Waves has always featured elemental effects, primarily applied by enemies. Version 2.0 expands this, with each element now having a unique status effect impacting players:

Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets

Currently, Elemental Effect interaction is limited, primarily benefiting Spectro Rover:

Resonators Applying Elemental Effects:

Only Spectro Rover (post-Version 2.0 storyline) can apply Elemental Effects. Its Resonance Skill's Resonating Spin variant applies Spectro Frazzle stacks and a Shimmer effect preventing stack decay, maximizing Spectro Frazzle uptime.

Echoes and Echo Sets:

Currently, only the Eternal Radiance Echo Set enhances Spectro Rover's Spectro Frazzle application:

• Eternal Radiance (2pc): Spectro DMG +10%
• Eternal Radiance (5pc): Spectro Frazzle increases Crit. Rate by 20% for 15s; 10 stacks grant a 15% Spectro DMG Bonus for 15s.
• Nightmare Echo: Increases DMG dealt to enemies with Spectro Frazzle by 100%; provides a 12% Spectro DMG Bonus.

While Elemental Effects are currently a niche mechanic, their integration suggests future expansion and deeper strategic possibilities within Wuthering Waves.
