Wuthering Waves Echo Sets (Sonata Effects)
Every major echo sonata in Version 3.6 — who farms it, when to spend Waveplates, and how 2-piece / 5-piece bonuses actually get used.
Last updated:
Echoes are not Genshin artifacts. A typical endgame set is 4-cost + 3-cost + 1-cost (or a 4+4+1 split) with a named sonata. Farm the Tacet Field that matches the carry you are building this week, not every set at once.
15 echo sets
Moonlit Clouds
The default battery sonata for supports who leave the field on a clean outro. If your job is to feed Energy Regen and a flat ATK buff, this is the set you finish first.
5pc: Outro Skill increases the incoming Resonator's ATK by 22.5% for 15s
Rejuvenating Glow
Healers convert overheal into an ATK aura. Verina and Shorekeeper both live here unless a later set specifically outpaces the team buff.
5pc: Healing a teammate grants the team 15% ATK for 30s
Sierra Gale
On-field Aero carries who intro into a damage window. Jiyan and Qingxiao both want a finished 5-piece before you chase minor substat upgrades.
5pc: Aero DMG +30% for 15s after using Intro Skill
Molten Rift
The Fusion damage sonata for skill-into-nuke carries. Changli, Encore, and later Jingran all read this bonus during their Liberation windows.
5pc: Fusion DMG +30% for 15s after using Resonance Skill
Freezing Frost
Glacio on-fielders who press Skill often enough to keep the five-piece stacked. Carlotta and Sanhua (when built as damage) both use it.
5pc: Glacio DMG +10%, plus another 10% for 10s after Resonance Skill (stacks)
Void Thunder
Electro carries who weave Heavy Attacks or Liberation into the rotation. Yinlin, Xiangli Yao, and Calcharo all stack this during their field time.
5pc: Electro DMG +15% after Heavy Attack or Liberation; stacks separately
Celestial Light
Spectro intro-window carries. Jinhsi, Phoebe, and Spectro Rover all time their big hits after the intro buff lands.
5pc: Spectro DMG +30% for 15s after using Intro Skill
Sun-sinking Eclipse
Havoc on-fielders who stay in Basic/Heavy loops. Camellya, Danjin, and Havoc Rover stack this naturally.
5pc: Havoc DMG +7.5% after Basic or Heavy; stacks up to 4
Lingering Tunes
A generic ATK sonata for carries whose attribute set is not ready, or for units who want the outro nuke. Useful as a transitional 5-piece.
5pc: ATK +5% every 1.5s while on field, up to 4 stacks; Outro +60%
Empyrean Anthem
Coordinated-attack enablers. Yinlin and Zhezhi prefer this over a selfish damage set when their job is off-field hits.
5pc: Increases the incoming Resonator's Coordinated Attack DMG
Midnight Veil
Havoc quick-swap outro set. Taoqi and some Havoc supports wear it so the on-field Havoc carry inherits a cleaner window.
5pc: Outro deals extra Havoc DMG and buffs the incoming Havoc Resonator
Gusts of Welkin
Later Aero support sonata used when the carry wants more than a generic Moonlit Clouds outro. Cartethyia teams often park a support here.
5pc: Aero outro and team Aero amplification for Cartethyia-style cores
Windward Pilgrimage
Alternate Aero damage sonata for Heavy-Attack Aero kits. Use it when the kit text points at Heavy more than Intro.
5pc: Heavy Attack and Aero bonus for pilgrimage-style carries
Tidebreaking Courage
ER-stacking damage set for units who overcap regen and convert it into ATK. Brant is the usual wearer.
5pc: ATK bonus after hitting an Energy Regen threshold
Eternal Radiance
Phoebe and later Spectro units that lean on Spectro Frazzle prefer this over generic Celestial Light once the set is available.
5pc: CRIT and Spectro bonuses for frazzle-oriented Spectro carries
