Introduction to Tick Tack Echo Guide
Wuthering Waves Tick Tack Echo Guide: Tick Tack, internally identified as Echo G04 and commonly known as “Wukaka” in Chinese, is a 1-Cost Common Echo introduced in Wuthering Waves Version 1.0. It features a quirky mechanical design inspired by clockwork motifs, aligning with the game’s theme of time and technology. As a low-cost Echo, Tick Tack is often utilized in builds that require efficient skill cycling without heavily impacting the team’s total Echo cost. Its low cost makes it a flexible choice for filling out Echo slots, especially when aiming to activate Sonata Effects without exceeding cost limits. Tick Tack’s compact footprint and thematic design also make it a memorable addition to any Echo collection.
Echo Skill Details
Tick Tack’s Echo Skill summons a miniature Tick Tack that performs a two-stage attack: it first charges at the target and then delivers a biting strike, both dealing Havoc DMG. The skill scales with the Echo’s rank, offering increasing damage as the Echo is promoted. At Rank 1, the charge inflicts 42.80% Havoc DMG, followed by a 64.00% Havoc DMG bite. At Rank 2, the charge deals 49.22%, and the bite deals 73.83%. Rank 3 increases these values to 55.64% for the charge and 83.46% for the bite. Rank 4 deals 62.06% and 93.09%, respectively, while Rank 5 reaches 68.48% Havoc DMG for the charge and 102.72% Havoc DMG for the bite.
In addition to its damage, the Echo Skill applies a Vibration Strength reduction of up to 5.00% for 5 seconds, which can help in breaking through enemy toughness during extended encounters. The skill has a cooldown of 15 seconds, making it a reliable option for frequent use in rotation-heavy or Echo Skill–oriented builds. Tick Tack’s utility and consistent uptime make it an efficient support Echo, particularly for applying constant Havoc pressure and weakening enemy defenses.

Possible Sonata Effects
Tick Tack is a 1-Cost Common Echo that can contribute to activating specific Sonata Effects, depending on the resonance type of other Echoes equipped alongside it. Equipping multiple copies of Tick Tack alone will not activate any Sonata bonuses; instead, players must pair it with other compatible Echoes to complete set effects.
Tick Tack can be part of Echo sets that enable the following Sonata Effects:
Lingering Tunes enhances offensive potential. With a 2-piece set, it grants ATK +10%. The 5-piece set further increases ATK by 5% every 1.5 seconds while on the field, stacking up to four times, and boosts Outro Skill DMG by 60%. This makes it suitable for builds focusing on sustained presence and switching efficiency.
Rejuvenating Glow focuses on healing support. Its 2-piece set provides a 10% Healing Bonus, while the 5-piece set increases the ATK of all party members by 15% for 30 seconds when the user heals allies. This effect can synergize with characters who provide team-wide healing and frequent swaps via Outro Skills.
Havoc Eclipse boosts Havoc-based damage. The 2-piece set grants Havoc DMG +10%, and the 5-piece set adds an additional 7.5% Havoc DMG after using Basic or Heavy Attacks, stacking up to 4 times, with each stack lasting 15 seconds. This Sonata Effect aligns directly with Tick Tack’s Havoc-element Echo Skill and benefits characters who frequently use basic or heavy attacks in their combos.
These Sonata Effects provide flexibility for Tick Tack’s integration into both damage-focused and supportive builds, depending on team composition and resonance type matching.
How to Get Spectro Drake Echo
The Spectro Drake is a 1-Cost Common Echo associated with the Spectro element. Like other Common Echoes, it can be obtained through general Echo farming methods. Players can acquire the Spectro Drake Echo by defeating enemies of the same name found in the overworld, particularly in areas where Spectro-type Tacet Discords spawn. To make farming more efficient, players can use the Guidebook’s Echo Hunting feature to locate Spectro Drake spawns. Additionally, this Echo may drop as a reward from Tacet Field Cleanups, where Echoes are commonly collected. By combining overworld farming and cleanup missions, players have a consistent chance of obtaining and upgrading the Spectro Drake Echo.
Recommended Resonators
Tick Tack is a 1-Cost Common Echo with the Havoc element, making it most effective when equipped on Havoc-aligned Resonators or characters that benefit from frequent Echo Skill usage. Its Echo Skill summons a mini Tick Tack that charges forward and bites the enemy, dealing Havoc DMG in two instances. It also applies a 5% Vibration Strength reduction for 5 seconds, which can help break enemy toughness faster—especially in solo or focused-target combat. Due to its low cost and elemental alignment, Tick Tack is best used as a supplementary Echo in optimized 5-piece Sonata builds or Echo loadouts that prioritize elemental synergy and utility.
Youhu
Youhu is a 5★ Havoc DPS Resonator who greatly benefits from any Echo that enhances her Havoc output or helps her stay on the offensive. Tick Tack fits into her kit as a cost-efficient Echo that contributes directly to her elemental damage profile while keeping the overall Echo cost low. In Youhu’s builds, Tick Tack can be slotted to maintain Havoc Eclipse Sonata Effects or support fast-paced combat by applying minor toughness shred during skill rotations. Since Youhu deals constant Havoc DMG, Tick Tack naturally complements her role and resonance alignment.
Taoqi
Taoqi is a 4★ Havoc character who functions as a hybrid tank/support with resonance abilities that reduce incoming damage and apply crowd control. While she does not focus heavily on raw Havoc DMG output like Youhu, her kit benefits from Echo Skills that assist with Vibration Strength reduction and low-cost Echo management. Tick Tack works well in her builds when aiming to maintain defensive utility while contributing some minor Havoc damage and softening enemies for allies. Taoqi also frequently remains on-field in shield-focused playstyles, making Tick Tack’s cooldown and uptime easy to manage.
Shorekeeper
Shorekeeper is a standard enemy-turned-Echo, usable as a playable Echo Skill when equipped on Havoc-element Resonators. While not a Resonator, players can benefit from pairing Tick Tack with Shorekeeper Echoes to maintain elemental consistency and optimize the Havoc Eclipse Sonata Effect. Tick Tack can help complete a 5-piece Sonata setup while ensuring that all Echo Skills contribute to elemental bonuses and combat synergy, especially in Havoc-aligned team builds.
