Introduction to Glacio Drake Echo Guide
Wuthering Waves Glacio Drake Echo Guide: The Glacio Drake is a Common Class Echo with a Cost of 1, introduced in Version 2.2 of Wuthering Waves. As a low-cost Echo, it is suitable for flexible team configurations, particularly when managing Echo cost limits in optimized builds. The Glacio Drake does not feature a Phantom Appearance and has no Nightmare Variant, keeping its visual and functional design straightforward. Its accessible class and cost make it a practical choice for early to mid-game progression or as a supportive piece in more advanced Echo arrangements.
Echo Ability (Skill Details)
The Glacio Drake’s Echo Skill summons a Glacio Drake that performs a multi-hit Glacio-based attack against enemies. This ability delivers five consecutive instances of Glacio DMG, with the total damage output scaling based on the Echo’s rarity. At lower rarities, the damage per hit is 17.28%, 20.16%, or 23.04% of the user’s ATK as Glacio DMG. At Rarity 5, the skill deals 25.92% Glacio DMG per hit, totaling 129.6% over five hits. The skill has an 8-second cooldown, allowing for consistent elemental damage output in Glacio-focused teams. Its low cost and frequent activation make it an effective choice for supplementing elemental combos or contributing passive damage in fast-paced combat scenarios.

Possible Sonata Effects
The Glacio Drake Echo can be used to activate two different Sonata Effect sets: Gusts of Welkin and Windward Pilgrimage, both designed to enhance Aero damage output.
With the Gusts of Welkin set, the 2-piece bonus provides a flat 10% Aero DMG increase, offering a straightforward damage boost. The 5-piece effect enhances team-wide Aero performance by increasing Aero DMG for all Resonators by 15% when an enemy is inflicted with Aero Erosion. The Resonator who triggers this effect gains an additional 15% Aero DMG, and the effect lasts for 20 seconds, enabling sustained elemental amplification in prolonged engagements.
The Windward Pilgrimage set also grants 10% Aero DMG with its 2-piece bonus. Its 5-piece bonus is more offensive in nature: when an enemy is struck with Aero Erosion, the Resonator gains 10% Crit. Rate and a 30% Aero DMG Bonus for 10 seconds, promoting burst damage potential and crit-focused playstyles.
Though the Glacio Drake naturally deals Glacio DMG, its compatibility with Aero-oriented Sonata Effects is due to its Common Class classification, allowing it to serve as a cost-efficient piece when building Aero-focused Resonators under Sonata set requirements.
How to Get Glacio Drake
You can obtain the Glacio Drake Echo by defeating Glacio Drake enemies found throughout the overworld. These creatures are scattered across various regions and can be efficiently located using the Guidebook’s Echo tracking feature. In addition to overworld encounters, the Glacio Drake Echo can also be acquired through Tacet Field Cleanups, providing an alternative and consistent method for farming. Both approaches contribute to collecting duplicates for higher Echo ranks or completing Sonata Effect sets, making the Glacio Drake accessible for both new and veteran players aiming to optimize their builds.
Suggested Characters
The Glacio Drake Echo is well-suited for Glacio-element Resonators who benefit from consistent elemental damage and Echo Skill activation, with Baizhi being a fitting choice. While primarily a support, Baizhi can take advantage of the Glacio Drake’s Echo Skill to apply additional Glacio DMG during her rotations, reinforcing elemental uptime while maintaining her supportive role. Its low 1-Cost also allows for flexible team-building, enabling her to equip higher-cost Echoes that enhance healing or utility, while still contributing damage through the Glacio Drake’s multi-hit Glacio attack. This makes it a practical and efficient Echo option for enhancing team synergy without compromising build efficiency.
