Introduction to Mourning Aix Echo Guide
Wuthering Waves Mourning Aix Echo Guide: Mourning Aix is an Overlord Class Echo with a Cost of 4 in Wuthering Waves, designed for enhancing Spectro-based Resonators. When its Echo skill is activated, the Resonator transforms into Mourning Aix, unleashing two swift claw attacks that deal Spectro DMG. Following the transformation, the character gains a 12% boost to both Spectro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG for 15 seconds, making it a strong option for burst windows and synergistic builds that rely on Spectro damage scaling. Additionally, a cosmetic variant called Phantom: Mourning Aix exists, offering a visually distinct version that can be applied to other Echoes of the same type.
Mourning Aix Echo Ability
Activating the Echo skill transforms the Resonator into Mourning Aix, unleashing two claw attacks that deal Spectro DMG. At Rank 1, the strikes deal 110.40% and 165.60% Spectro DMG, scaling up to 198.72% and 298.08% at Rank 5. After the transformation, the active character gains a 12% boost to both Spectro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG for 15 seconds. The skill has a 20-second cooldown. Only the Echo equipped in the 1st slot can use its active ability, though up to five Echoes can be equipped in total.
Possible Stats
The Mourning Aix Echo provides a combination of main and sub-stat bonuses to enhance a Resonator’s performance. It features one fixed secondary main stat—Flat ATK, which offers 150 ATK at Rank 4, Level 25—and one random primary main stat. The possible primary main stats include HP%, ATK%, DEF%, Crit. Rate, Crit. DMG, and Healing Bonus%, with sample values such as 33.0% for ATK% or HP%, 22.0% for Crit. Rate, and 44.0% for Crit. DMG.
In addition to the main stats, Mourning Aix can roll multiple sub-stats from a wide pool of options. These include flat stats like HP (320–580), ATK (30–70), and DEF (30–70), as well as percentage-based and utility stats. These range from 6.4%–11.6% for HP% and ATK%, 8.1%–14.7% for DEF%, 6.3%–10.5% for Crit. Rate, and 12.6%–21.0% for Crit. DMG. Additional sub-stats may include Energy Regen (5.6%–14.9%), and various DMG bonuses for Resonance Skill, Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, and Resonance Liberation, each ranging roughly from 6.4% to 12.4%. This variety allows for tailoring Echo builds to better suit individual Resonator roles and playstyles.
Possible Sonata Effects (Resonance)
Mourning Aix contributes to the Celestial Light Sonata Effect when equipped alongside other Echoes that share the Celestial Light Resonance. To activate these set bonuses, different Echoes with the same Resonance type must be used—equipping multiple copies of Mourning Aix alone will not trigger the Sonata effects. The 2-set bonus increases Spectro DMG by 10%, while the 5-set bonus grants a 30% Spectro DMG boost for 15 seconds after the character uses their Intro Skill. Since Mourning Aix’s Echo ability deals Spectro DMG, combining it with the Celestial Light Sonata effects can significantly amplify the performance of Spectro-based characters.
How to Get Mourning Aix
Mourning Aix can be obtained by defeating its boss in Huanglong at Whining Aix’s Mire – Fallen Grave and absorbing its reverberation without claiming rewards. At Union Level 27, completing the Tactical Hologram: Calamity guarantees a 4- or 5-star Mourning Aix.
