Echo Ability

At Rarity 5, the Echo Ability of Nimbus Wraith allows the Resonator to summon a Nimbus Wraith that performs a supportive healing function. Upon activation, the summoned Wraith heals the active Resonator for 2.70% of their Max HP, and this healing effect can occur up to four times during the ability’s duration. This makes it a valuable option for providing light sustain in battle without relying on a dedicated healer. The ability has a cooldown of 15 seconds, allowing it to be used fairly often in combat rotations, especially in cost-efficient builds or when slotting for supportive utility.

Sonata Effects

The Nimbus Wraith Echo can possess one of two Sonata Effects: Empyrean Anthem or Midnight Veil, each offering distinct bonuses when paired in sets of two or five pieces. With the Empyrean Anthem set, equipping 2 pieces grants +10% Energy Regen, supporting faster ability rotations. The full 5-piece set significantly boosts performance by increasing the Resonator’s Coordinated Attack DMG by 80%. Additionally, when a Coordinated Attack lands a critical hit, the active Resonator’s ATK is increased by 20% for 4 seconds, enhancing burst potential.

In contrast, the Midnight Veil set is tailored for Havoc DMG-focused builds. The 2-piece bonus provides a straightforward +10% Havoc DMG. The 5-piece set enhances Outro synergy by causing the Outro Skill to deal an additional 480% Havoc DMG to nearby enemies. This bonus is categorized as Outro Skill DMG, and it also grants the incoming Resonator a 15% Havoc DMG Bonus for 15 seconds, making it especially valuable for chaining Havoc DPS transitions effectively.

Obtaining Nimbus Wraith

The Nimbus Wraith Echo can be acquired through multiple in-game methods. One reliable way to obtain it is by defeating Nimbus Wraith enemies found throughout the open world. These enemies are scattered across various regions and can be tracked using the Guidebook, making them easier to locate during exploration. In addition to overworld encounters, players can also acquire the Nimbus Wraith Echo from Tacet Field Cleanups, which reward a variety of Echoes based on elemental types and enemy presence. These methods ensure consistent access to the Echo for leveling or refining purposes.

Suggested Characters

Due to its low 1-Cost and Glacio-based mobility skill, Nimbus Wraith is best suited for characters who benefit from quick repositioning or need a light Glacio AOE option without using up valuable Echo cost. It’s ideal for sub-DPS or support builds where your main Echo slots are reserved for higher-cost effects.

Verina – Can benefit from the mobility in support rotations, helping reposition or dodge while providing light elemental damage.

Baizhi – Useful for maintaining distance or quickly re-entering healing range, with added Glacio damage to complement her kit.

Lingyang – While not Glacio, he benefits from mobility-focused Echoes; Nimbus Wraith can help with agile positioning in fast-paced combat.

Nimbus Wraith works well in early-game or cost-efficient builds, or as a flexible utility slot when you need quick movement and elemental coverage without sacrificing stronger Echo abilities.
