In Wuthering Waves, Echoes are special items that can boost the stats of your Resonators when equipped. By tuning these Echoes, you unlock their Sub-Stats, granting even more powerful benefits. However, tuning requires some preparation and specific materials. Here’s a simple guide to help you tune Echoes and make the most of them.
What is Echo Tuning?
Tuning Echoes unlocks their Sub-Stats, which are additional bonuses. Only Rank 3 and higher Echoes can have Sub-Stats, so Rank 2 Echoes cannot be tuned. Make sure not to waste valuable resources like Sealed Tubes on Rank 2 Echoes, as they won’t gain Sub-Stats.
To tune an Echo, you first need to upgrade it using Echo EXP. Once it reaches the required level, you’ll need a specific type of Tuner and some Shell Credits to complete the process.
How to Tune an Echo
- Upgrade the Echo:
Go to your Backpack, select the Echo inventory, or visit the Resonator’s page if the Echo is already equipped. Upgrade your chosen Echo using Echo EXP until it reaches the required level for tuning. For example, a Stonewall Bracer needs to be upgraded to Level 5 to unlock one Sub-Stat slot. - Access the Tuning Menu:
Once the Echo is ready, open its interface and select the “Echo Tuning” option. - Use the Right Tuner:
Choose the Tuning Material (Tuner) specific to the Echo’s rank. You’ll also need to pay an amount of Shell Credits. After this, the Echo will be tuned, and its Sub-Stat will be unlocked.
