Bleak Heights Scours Landscape, Unleashing Nature's Fury

Wuthering Waves' elemental system has evolved significantly with Version 2.0. Initially, elements provided character buffs and enemy resistances, lacking deep interaction. Version 2.0 introduces Elemental Effects, allowing for more direct interactions beyond passive buffs.

Elemental Status Effects and Debuffs:

While some elemental effects existed previously (e.g., Glacio's freeze), Version 2.0 expands this mechanic. Each element now has a unique status effect:

Dodging removes all effect stacks.

Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets:

Currently, Elemental Effect utilization is limited. Only a few Resonators, Echoes, and Echo Sets interact with these effects:

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. This skill also applies a Shimmer effect, preventing stack decay, allowing for sustained Spectro Frazzle buildup.

Echoes and Echo Sets:

• 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%. The equipped Resonator gains a 12% Spectro DMG bonus.

While currently niche, the integration of Elemental Effects suggests a potential shift towards more active utilization in future Wuthering Waves updates.
