So, if you’re like me, you probably want to obtain
the best Echoes fast and level up that pesky Data Bank and well… I actually managed to achieve
this but I have made quite a few mistakes along the way, so I’ve decided to create this video to
teach everything you need to know about the Echoes and the Data Bank, so you don’t end up repeating
my mistakes and have the best account possible. Ok, so let’s start with the most crucial part –
the higher level your Data Bank is, the better the rarity drop rates will be for echoes, as you
can see here. And the majority of people who are rushing to level up their databanks are following
a very simple process – you go to the Echo Gallery right here and just check which Echoes you
still have not obtained and then afterwards, you will want to obtain the max rarity that
you’re allowed to own that echo based on your Data Bank’s level. And what you’ll usually do is just
click on this “Track” button and start locating the echoes whose rarity you’re still missing.
So, for example, if your Data Bank is at level 10, you will have 30% Chance to obtain Purple Echoes
and 70% Chance to obtain Blue Echoes. This also means until you unlock Data Bank level 15, the max
rarity of an echo you can obtain from Open World is going to be Purple and then after Level 15, you
will then be able to start farming Gold echoes or basically as they are called 5-star Echoes.
Now with the basics out of the way, the first thing you want to do is save up all the Green
and Blue rarity echoes until you hit Data Bank level 15 or even better Level 17. You see, in the
Data Bank menu, if you go to the Data Merge option here, you can drop in any 5 echoes and then either
1 or 2 new ones will come out. This process is completely random but it does follow one critical
rule – the rarity will depend on your current Data Bank level, so its extremely important to save up
these Green and Blue echoes that you have sitting in your inventory and then immediately use them up
when you hit Data Bank Level 15. Now you might be wondering why? Well, because now you have a chance
to obtain from this Data Merge the highest 5-star Rarity echoes and obviously, if you didn’t have
that rarity of the echo, this will also grant you the Data Bank EXP. Just look at me gaining tons
of new 5-star echoes and A LOT of Data Bank EXP after doing the Data Merge here. Also, if you take
a close look here, we can see that at Level 15, there’s only 30% chance for a 5-star echo but at
Level 17 the odds become better and its now 50%, so if you can keep holding these Green
and Blue echoes until Data Bank Level 17, you will have an even greater chance to
obtain tons of new 5-star rarity echoes. Keep in mind, in order to unlock Data Bank
Level 15, you need to have reached Union level 30 and then to unlock Data Bank Level
19, you will need to be Union Level 40 – so as you can see here while I have maxed out
the Data Bank Level, I am only Union Level 32 as of recording this video, so it’ll take
a while for me before I hit Union level 40. Now if you didn’t know already – Co-Op mode
is a great way to farm the echoes with your friends or other players, since everyone’s world
will contain a certain amount of Echoes and they only reset after each day, so in other words, you
can hop between different player worlds and keep farming these Echoes together and this way you
can forego the usual limited amount of Echoes you will have in your own world. Also, Co-op
unlocks at Union Level 22 and you can join the other players worlds by clicking this button here.
Now if Co-Op is not your cup of tea and you just like to play solo, then my suggestion would be to
save up your Elite class echoes until you’re done farming all the Common Echoes and World Bosses
for the day. What do I mean by this? Well, obviously as you already know, the Data
Bank dictates the current rarity drop rate, so you definitely want to obtain Elite class
echoes with the most favorable rarity drop rate you can achieve for the day and while there are
plenty of Common Echoes to farm and you can keep repeating and farming the World Bosses over and
over again, the Elite echoes are a lot more-rare and you can run out of them pretty fast. So, keep
this in mind if you’re playing just by yourself and don’t wanna or you cannot do Co-Op yet.
Now there’s a few ways how you can quickly obtain 5-star Echoes – I’ll talk about Red Mist
enemies in a moment but first, have a look at this mode called Illusive Realm. I believe at Union
Level 17, you can start playing this game mode, it’s pretty fun at least to me but what’s more
important here is that you can redeem 2 Elite Class echo selectors from the shop – it doesn’t
cost much, you can easily obtain the currency and honestly – these 2 Echoes are going to be
insanely cracked because not only all of them from the selector will have Elemental DMG as
their main stat but also they will belong to the set that matches the element. For example,
Calcharo is an Electro DMG dealer, right? Well, I just redeemed these Elite echoes from the
selectors which both provide Electro DMG from their main stat and belong to the Electro
set – so as you can imagine, Calcharo is now a beast thanks to these insane 5-star stats.
However, on the same note – don’t fall for this trap here, where you can see some 5-star
echos in the shops where they all start with the word Phantom. You will find 1 of them in the
Illusive realm shop and few more in the Points Shop that you can redeem from after doing Tower
of Adversity and Hologram challenges. Because here’s the thing – these items right here are
just the Skins for the echoes you already own, hence why the name starts with Phantom
and some people also call these echoes Shiny versions – they don’t add anything to your
account besides just a custom look to that Echo, so if you wanna spend the resources on actually
useful materials first, don’t redeem these rewards just yet, only when you think the time is right.
This next tip is a pretty quick one – if you take a close look at the Milestones book here, at least
I didn’t notice this at first but you can actually obtain Data Bank experience by completing all
the missions of each stage. And for example – you see this requirement to do 5 Tacet Fields
to complete the mission – well as you know, Tacet fields require Waveplates and is not recommended
to do until you hit Data Bank level 15 and even then – it’s better to spend Waveplates on Boss,
character and weapon materials first, however, in this case for this specific mission,
you just need to complete 5 different Tacet fields and you don’t have to redeem the
rewards with Waveplates, so I have done this, which resulted in all completed missions and got
a big chunk of EXP to help level up my Data Bank. Now this next crucial thing I learned has to do
with the Bosses. Ok so first of all – as long as you have obtained a boss Echo for each party
member of your current team and the main stat is kinda OK, let’s say you reach Data Bank level 15
and now you can start farming these bosses for a 30% chance to obtain their 5-star version Echo.
Well, I would say – don’t bother doing this, unless you badly need a crucial mainstat from
the boss, like ATK% or Critical Rate because as you know it – you can waste a lot of time by
just trying to extract the echo from the boss but if that’s not enough – the chance to obtain
the 5-star version of it, let’s say at Data Bank Level 15 is 30% as you already know it.
Instead, I would recommend for you to push the Data Bank to Level 17 first, which
then increases the 5-star chance to 50%, so at least now it’s a coin flip when it comes
to determining the rarity of the Bosses echo that just dropped, which is massively better
than the 30% rate from level 15 data bank. However, here’s another sneaky thing you probably
haven’t noticed – if we go back to the Data Bank, you see this Enhanced Drop rate sentence and
if you click on it, it shows Target Classes Overlord/Calamity and Remaining Chances
which in my case is 0 out of 15? Well, every week on Monday this counter resets back
to 15 and now for the next 15 times you fight a World Boss or the Weekly boss, the chance
for them to drop the Echo increases by 90% and later at Data Bank Level 20 this
will be a guaranteed 100% drop rate. And keep in mind, this counter will be reduced the
moment you defeat the boss, not when you claim the rewards. So, here’s my tip – whenever you login
after the weekly reset, do the first 15 bosses that would consider to be most beneficial for
the current characters you’re trying to build. For example, I have been getting really bad luck
with Tempest Mephis – I want to obtain a 5-star version of it that has Critical Rate as main stat.
When on Monday this Enhanced drop rate resets – I will go and farm Tempest Mephis boss, because
now its 90% chance it will leave an echo behind, so very easy to extract the Echo and then I can
check the main stat after every fight and if I get lucky and get what I want and have remaining
Enhanced drop rate out of those 15 attempts, I would move on and do another boss for
my other character I am trying to build. Keep in mind, this enhanced drop rate does
not guarantee a 5-star Echo of the boss, you will still depend on the randomness that’s
seen here BUT it does mean it will be very easy to extract the Echo from the boss when they
die, as long as this counter has remaining uses. Because trust me – I have been fighting this
stupid monkey over the weekend and at one time, he didn’t leave an Echo behind after I defeated it
like 8 times, so this can be a huge timesaver if you have those Enhanced drop rates remaining.
Now one more thing I wanna talk about are the Red Mist enemies. If you didn’t know – there’s
a specific number of these special enemies that can be defeated once in your world and some of
them can drop a guaranteed 5-star Echo version of themselves. Now some of them will drop a 4-star
version but you can still try and defeat them all, if you can and I will leave a link in
the description where to find them all. Keep in mind, some of these fights can be
very tedious and time consuming. For example, this big bear I fought who is level 120, I
basically just abused its line of sight and spammed ranged attacks with Mortefi by standing
in a safe place, same thing I also did with the Scorpions here and after I defeated them, I did
get a 5-star bear and 5-star scorpion echoes. However, these two fights took me like half
an hour to do because of my low-level team. So, keep in mind that some of these fights are
very time consuming and it might be worth it to just go and farm the regular echoes and later
on you can come back and beat these enemies when your account is of higher Union level. But if you
do attempt these fights, I highly recommend using Ranged damage dealers like Mortefi, Chixia and
so on because you can usually find a safe spot you can fire from and just keep spamming
the attacks until the enemy is defeated. But yeah, I hope you found this video useful,
I am sorry if I don’t post so much as other content creators when it comes to Wuthering
Waves, I am trying to put in the hours to actually show you everything I achieved and share
these tips so you can see them for yourself. So, I would really appreciate if you could press
the like button on this video and subscribe to my channel because I have some really good
guides that will be coming out very soon. Anyway, thanks again for
watching and see you next time.
