Artifacts, but Better! | Echo System Explained | Wuthering Waves

the ecosystem in withering waves is coral gamees take on artifacts and Relics it's your standard equipment on a character besides their weapon I must say it is an interesting take to take your equipment and turn it into a Pokemon catching Style game and I really like the concept and idea behind it so as you play with ring waves you will go through the story travel and explore and all the while doing so you will be killing monsters as you kill these monsters you can suck their soul into your gourd and harvest the remaining holes onto the realm forever within the endless abyss of tormented Souls where they will never escape and either be erased into nothingness or placed upon characters if they are deemed worthy only to be used for a few seconds every day to murder their remaining brethren in other words you will capture monsters Echo and they will serve as your equipment they will gain a random set bonus and a random main stat they also have the option to add substats with the unique item but I'll explain how substats work in a later portion of the video so about equipping these items if you are used to equipping hats goblet shoes Etc that's not the case here the only thing that matters is that if you're utilizing a set bonus you have to use unique monsters to actually attribute to the set bonus each monster has to be different for the set bonus to activate so you can't just Farm one monster over over and over and then equip four of them to activate a set bonus the good thing is you can hunt down monsters specifically so you can eliminate one lay of RNG at least so let's walk through the process of farming equipment so you have a better understanding when you're at your character menu you can actually see the available sets to equip at the moment there are nine sets for characters to utilize to be honest I feel there is no need to even add anymore because they are all generalistic and they work perfectly for the game I'll briefly glaze over each one so you can actually get an idea of how each set work while you're looking through these please consider leaving a like on this video and subscribing for future content you must be enjoying the video if you made it this far and this will really help grow the channel thank you so much as you can see you can filter the available Monsters by set when you're actually going after monsters what that means is that they have a chance to get that particular set it's not guaranteed to get the set on most of the monsters if you're farming the bosses whose cost is four then they are guaranteed to have the particular set bonus that they are described to have here basically the Havoc boss will always have the Havoc set bonus Havoc Eclipse now the top monsters in the equipment is the monsters whose ability you inherit for instance if I have this monster here they're crownless in the first slot and I use him in the Overworld he will do significant damage on the enemies all of the monsters equipped below the crown list are just there for their stats but you can also put this little turtle guy on here and do a little dance you know if you really want to do that so if you want to gear out your character here's what you do let's say you got a brand new character in this case I'll use yangyang since I haven't actually farmed any equipment for her yet firstly you have a certain cost which you can level up up over time by upgrading this here the data banks this happens naturally over time but the highest cost for the slot seems to be 12 the higher the data Bank level the more likely you are to get rare Echo the Rarities is from green blue purple and then gold just like relics and artifacts in genin and star so first things first I have to choose what set I want yangyang is an aiel damage dealer so the AEL set seems like a good choice I'd first want to get the four cost Echo slot in other words the boss monster as I mentioned earlier they are guaranteed to have the set bonus that I desire for this case being cetto effect which boost aial damage by 40% in total for having all five pieces there doesn't seem to be a limit to how many times you can Farm the boss which is absolutely fantastic the only thing is you will have to wait for him to respawn but for the other monsters there is a limit to how many are on the map some Elite monsters have about 3 to four across the entire map while other Elite monsters have like 20 or 40 or 50 like there's a lot of wolves across the map and I was able to hunt them for hours but for these Apes I was only able to hunt them for about 10 to 20 minutes all right let's go and kill this guy when you kill him it's not guaranteed to drop but you could try again in a couple minutes if you don't get across anything good and I got it this time so that's great I'm able to check a sub stats and see if I need to come back to him or I can just level it here but we'll worry about that a little later now while we're waiting for him to respawn here's the next step I normally prioritize three cost Echo here since they have a much more limited spawn and they are better as far as equipment there are only so many monsters in the Overworld and I haven't accessed Co-op yet but I'm sure once you do which is level 30 by the way you can Farm These in other people's worlds as well I don't know if sure yet but for now let's assume that they are limited to your world you can't see how many of these are on the map but if you use the detection you seem to be able to actually hunt down all of the monsters on the map and then we continue to the next one just like any other game each time you absorb the echko there seems to be an increased chance to actually absorb the same monster the next time I heard that mentioned earlier and that does actually appear to be the case so once you actually capture one once then you'll have a higher chance to actually get it the next time after that so a day of upgrading your equipment is running around the map exploring ganing chests gaining way points Etc while also hunting down the particular monsters that you need for your set bonus for each one that you get you have to look for a certain main stat and from my experience only boss monsters have crit rate and crit damage these Elite guys normally have stuff like attack or Elemental damage bonus those Elemental damage bonuses are rare but overall you you can have attack defense HP and Elemental damage bonus I'm not sure if you can get crit rate and crit damage is definitely possible maybe I'm just very unlucky starting off I'm looking for attack and glacial damage bonus only but when you capture each Echo is not guaranteed to have the set bonus like the boss monsters so I need a combination of both before I consider raising it so once I beat up a bunch of these I'll go back to the boss and kill it again for a chance for a new stat you can do this all day and swap between killing the boss monster while hunting down all the monsters on the map I think this is a really good thing especially in the beginning because you're not locked behind resin or stamina you can explore to your heart's content while a lky your map while doing so and getting your character's equipment the RNG can still really mess you up and there is another way to actually use stamina to farm for these the lower cost Elite monsters you can farm at level 25 while the higher cost bosses can be farmed at 27 and they're guaranteed to drop if you are using stamina but it's definitely not required so once I mas your a whole bloodline of Apes I have all of these Echoes to look at you can check each Echo that you actually get as you go along as well I can look through my Echoes and see which ones match what I actually want to equip once I have a good enough set at level one here's where the next AR RNG check comes in the substats as you can see you have no substats on the echo yet you can level them up to Max but you still won't have the substats until you unlock them for the purpose of showing this off take a look at this guy he has crit rate which is decent so let's Max them out and then we can unlock the substats when you level them to the max stat you actually unlock the ability to unlock the substat being at 5 10 15 and 20 so all of the stats gain from leveling them to 20 is static and they do not change the next step is tuning them you will gain a substat for each tuning you could have taken this slow and just raised it to five unlock a substat see if you like it and then go on from there but for the sake of doing this quickly let's just see what I get ooh that actually looks pretty bad I think having HP twice and no crit values is going to be not desirable but hey it's early game and these stats will matter a lot more later you do however have a limited amount of these tuning materials that you gain from just walking around the map and collecting them I have collected a lot across the map and I've also been tuning a bit of my artifacts as well if you run out of these tuning materials then you can use your stamina to actually gain more so you will do this for each Echo that you've gathered make sure that after you get those three costs then you move on to the one cost the small boys to complete raise a character because you do have a cost limit which is 12 that means that you can equip one of the boss monsters as your main one two of the three cost Elite monsters and then two of the one cost small boys once you have everything leveled and everything tuned you will have something like this that's how gearing your character will work if you did it correctly then you will have the total cost of 12 filled out that's the most optimal setup but of course it is harder in practice the Clos beta test 2 has only been out for about 5 days and I have geared out a few characters so it doesn't seem too hard in practice honestly Min matching the substats is where things get difficult as of now it's unfortunate that you can't use the smaller guys to level up Echo but if you actually level up anything even a little bit then you can use them to actually level up your new echos I hope they do fix this in the future because as you can see I have a ton of Echoes that are just well I do like this way of doing your equipment but it still has its flaws I'll have to wait until end game to just see just how hard it is to minmax a character and if it's required to do so to clear all of the content let me know if you have any questions I tried to be as clear as possible but I may have missed a few things just comment below and I will be answering many questions that I see down there still here great go ahead and like this video because it lets YouTube know that this video doesn't suck also consider subscribing for more genin and withering waved content in the future until next time enigma out
