Introduction to Havoc Drake Echo Guide
Wuthering Waves Havoc Drake Echo Guide: Gulpuff is a Common-class Echo with a 1-Cost requirement, identified by Echo Code H31. It was introduced in Version 2.4 of Wuthering Waves. At Rarity 5, Gulpuff grants a supportive Echo ability that contributes to team survivability. It does not have a Phantom Appearance or a Nightmare Variant, making it a straightforward Echo to obtain and use. Gulpuff’s simplicity and utility make it a niche but situationally valuable option in certain builds, particularly for Resonators needing an accessible healing tool without sacrificing higher-cost Echo slots.

Echo Ability
The Havoc Drake Echo summons a spectral Havoc Drake that performs a swift series of aerial slashes, dealing 129.60% Havoc DMG per hit, repeated three times in quick succession. This results in a total of 388.80% Havoc DMG, making it a strong burst option for clearing groups or adding extra damage during windows of vulnerability. The skill has an 8-second cooldown, allowing for frequent use in rotation-heavy teams. This ability is based on a Rarity 5 Havoc Drake Echo, where its damage and effectiveness reach their full potential.
Possible Sonata Effects
When equipped with Echoes like Havoc Drake, the following Sonata Effects may activate depending on the composition of your Echo set:
Flaming Clawprint
A 2-piece set grants a 10% Fusion DMG Bonus, ideal for enhancing Fusion-based Resonators. With a 5-piece set, casting Resonance Liberation boosts Fusion DMG Bonus by 15% for all team members and grants the caster a 20% Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus for 35 seconds, offering strong sustained team-wide buffs in coordinated rotations.
Windward Pilgrimage
A 2-piece set provides a 10% Aero DMG Bonus, supporting Aero-aligned characters. With 5 pieces, hitting a target with Aero Erosion increases the user’s Crit Rate by 10% and grants a 30% Aero DMG Bonus for 10 seconds, making it highly effective for crit-focused Aero builds that rely on consistent elemental triggers.
These effects are determined by the elemental alignment and quantity of equipped Echoes from the same Sonata category.
How to Get Havoc Drake
Havoc Drake can be obtained primarily by defeating its corresponding elite enemy in the wild. These enemies are scattered throughout the overworld and can be located easily using the Guidebook’s Echo Tracking feature, which marks their spawn locations on the map. Once defeated, the Havoc Drake has a chance to drop as a collectible Echo. Additionally, Havoc Drake Echoes can also be acquired through Tacet Field Cleanups, where completing the challenge grants a selection of Echo rewards, including the possibility of receiving a Havoc Drake, depending on your Echo loadout and drop conditions.
Suggested Characters
The Havoc Drake Echo is best suited for Havoc-element DPS characters or Resonators who benefit from rapid AoE burst damage. Its Echo skill delivers three swift strikes of Havoc DMG, making it ideal for enhancing damage output during short damage windows or clearing grouped enemies efficiently.
Calcharo: As a dedicated Havoc-element main DPS, Calcharo gains the most from Havoc Drake’s skill. It complements his aggressive playstyle and helps extend his burst window, especially when timed with his Outro or Liberation skill.
Jianxin (Havoc Variant): When built for Havoc damage, she can utilize Havoc Drake to strengthen her AoE output during transformations or skill combos, especially in builds focusing on Havoc set synergies.
Yinlin: While not a Havoc character, Yinlin can occasionally benefit from the Havoc Drake’s AoE capability for off-field damage in rotations where Echo cost management and quick skill cycling are prioritized.
The Havoc Drake Echo fits well in builds aiming for high AoE pressure, short cooldown rotations, and Havoc DMG scaling, particularly when used in conjunction with the Moonlit Clouds or Void Thunder sets for optimal elemental resonance and burst timing.
