There's a massive selection of Echoes that you can collect and give your resonators in Wuthering Waves, and each of them has a unique skill that can improve your characters' performance in combat.
Give our Echoes Tier List a look to see which echoes you should pick as the Primary Echo for each members of your team in Wuthering Waves!
Best Echoes Tier List for Wuthering Waves

Shown above is our Echoes Tier List, where each of the Elite, Overlord, and Calamity-class echoes in Wuthering Waves are ranked according to the usefulness of their Echo Skill.
This tier list is made with the following echoes being used as the Primary Echo in mind, as your Resonators can only use their Primary Echo's Echo Skill.
NOTE: As you can see, there are no Common-class (1-cost) echoes in our Echoes Tier List, as Common echoes should only be used as secondary echoes and never as a resonator's Primary Echo, considering how underpowered their Echo Skills are.
S-Rank Echoes
| S-Rank Echoes | Description |
|---|---|
Crownless | The Crownless Echo is a fantastic Havoc DMG dealer & buffer for Havoc DPS units like Danjin and Rover-Havoc. |
Dreamless | The Dreamless Echo deals Havoc DMG much like Crownless and is an amazing primary echo for Rover-Havoc once you unlock it upon clearing Chapter 6. |
Inferno Rider | The Inferno Rider Echo is not only the best echo for Fusion DPS resonators like Encore and Chixia, but it's also one of the very few echoes in the game that gives you added mobility while traversing the map. |
Bell Borne Geochelone | The Bell-Borne Geochelone Echo is the best echo for support units like Verina and Baizhi. It gives your entire team DMG reductions and DMG boosts which last until your current character is hit 3 times. |
A-Rank Echoes
| A-Rank Echoes | Description |
|---|---|
Mech Abomination | The Mech Abomination Echo is among the best options for Electro main DPS and sub-DPS units like Yinlin and Calcharo, what with the ATK boosts you can get from its Echo Skill. |
Impermanence Heron | The Impermanence Heron Echo is an excellent pick for sub-DPS units like Yang Yang, Jianxin, or Yinlin who don't need as much time on-field, as its Echo Skill mostly revolves around using the Outro Skills. |
Feilian Beringal | The Feilian Beringal Echo is the best-in-slot for Jiyan, who's currently the only viable Main DPS unit for Aero teams and is among the top-tier DPS units in the game. |
Tempest Mephis | Use the Tempest Mehpis Echo if you prefer more Resonance Liberation DMG for your Electro DPS unit, like Calcharo. |
Thundering Mephis | Use the Thundering Mephis Echo if you prefer more Resonance Liberation DMG for your Electro DPS unit, like Calcharo. |
Stonewall Bracer | The Stonewall Bracer Echo is a great substitute for the Bell-Borne Geochelone Echo for support units like Verina or Baizhi because of its shield-generating capabilities. |
Tambourinist | The Tambourinist Echo is a very solid echo for support units that are in a team with a Havoc-type Main DPS. |
B-Rank Echoes
| B-Rank Echoes | Description |
|---|---|
Mourning Aix | The Mourning Aix Echo is an echo built specifically to boost Spectro units and is a good pick for Rover-Spectro, but there are currently no other unit that can take full advantage of this echo's skill. |
Lampylumen Myriad | The Lampylumen Myriad Echo is good for Glacio units like Lingyang and Sanhua, though a Glacio-centric team is currently not on par with Electro or even Aero teams, which hurts this Overlord-class echo's placement a bit. |
Rocksteady Guardian | Although not as good as the other top-tier echoes, the Rocksteady Guardian Echo is still a great choice for Spectro units like Rover-Spectro or Verina just for its Spectro DMG-dealing and Special Skill-parrying capabilities. |
Roseshroom | The Roseshroom Echo is great for heavy-DPS units like Danjin who benefit more in staying on-field for as long as they can. It's a Summon-type echo that executes a quick, decent-damage laser that deals Havoc DMG. |
Chaserazor | The Chaserazor Echo is good as a stop-gap primary echo for Aero units like Jianxin or Jiyan if you don't have any of the higher-tier echoes for them yet. |
Cyan-Feathered Heron | The Cyan-Feathered Heron Echo is among the very few echoes that can parry enemy Special Skills, making it a decent Primary Echo for Aero units. |
Violet-Feathered Heron | The Violet-Feathered Heron can counter enemy attacks and allow your Resonator to recover Concerto Energy if the counterattack has been triggered successfully. |
Geohide Saurian | The Geohide Saurian Echo is good as a stop-gap primary echo for Fusion units like Encore or Chixia if you don't have any of the higher-tier echoes for them yet. |
Chasm Guardian | The Chasm Guardian Echo is a great stop-gap primary echo for Havoc units like Rover-Havoc, Danjin, or Taoqi if you don't have any of the higher-tier echoes for them yet. |
