Nightmare Tempest Mephis is a stellar choice for those looking to enhance their main 4-slot Echo of Electro characters in Wuthering Waves. Not only does it boost additional stats, but it can also significantly amplify certain damage rotations compared to its standard counterpart. Plus, it has a more dazzling appearance that can make your character stand out on the battlefield.
While all Nightmare Echoes in Wuthering Waves offer similar bonuses, accessing Nightmare Tempest Mephis involves a few nuanced steps. Here's how you can unlock this formidable boss.
Where to Find Nightmare Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves
You'll encounter this boss in the expansive, circular arena located in the Shores of Last Breath within the Fagaceae Peninsula. However, to challenge Nightmare Tempest Mephis, you must first complete a couple of prerequisites.
Initially, you need to finish the "Where Winds Return to Celestial Realms" quest in Wuthering Waves. This quest, set in the Shores of Last Breath, is primarily combat-focused and can be completed in one session, though it may take some time. Completing this quest is crucial as the arena where Nightmare Tempest Mephis resides will remain inaccessible until this step is completed.
Next, you must uncover all the Dream Patrols in the Shores of Last Breath. Simply discovering them, so they appear on your map, is sufficient; you don't need to complete them. Once you've located all the Dream Patrols, a notification will inform you that Nightmare Tempest Mephis has appeared, allowing you to find and engage it at the location shown in the image above.
Should You Use Nightmare Tempest Mephis?
Whether to utilize Nightmare Tempest Mephis largely depends on the stats you receive from your Echo drops and the specific Wuthering Waves character you're aiming to enhance. When equipped in the main Echo slot, Nightmare Tempest Mephis naturally boosts characters' Electro DMG and can be part of either the Void Thunder or Empyrean Anthem Sonata sets. The Void Thunder set is ideal for most Electro damage dealers, whereas the Empyrean Anthem set is better suited for characters capable of Coordinated Attacks, like Yinlin and Yuanwu.
Moreover, Nightmare Tempest Mephis features a unique transformation attack that differs from its regular version, potentially optimizing certain rotations for specific characters or teams. Coupled with its passive Electro DMG bonus, Nightmare Echoes are definitely worth considering for most characters.
However, it's crucial to prioritize Echoes with superior stats. If your Nightmare Tempest Mephis has inferior stats compared to a regular version, you may achieve better overall performance by opting for the standard variant.
