Should You Use Nightmare Tempest Mephis?

In Wuthering Waves, Nightmare Tempest Mephis stands out as a prime candidate to replace the main 4-slot Echo for Electro characters. This Echo not only boosts your stats but can also enhance specific damage rotations, making it a more powerful and visually striking option compared to its regular version.

While most Nightmare Echoes are relatively easy to access, Nightmare Tempest Mephis requires a bit more effort to unlock. Here's how you can encounter this formidable boss.

Where to Find Nightmare Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves

You'll find Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the large, circular arena located in the Shores of Last Breath within the Fagaceae Peninsula. However, accessing this boss involves a few preparatory steps.

First, you need to complete 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 it unlocks the arena where Nightmare Tempest Mephis resides.

Next, you must locate all the Dream Patrols in the Shores of Last Breath. Simply discovering these patrols and marking them on your map is sufficient; you don't need to complete them. Once all Dream Patrols are found, you'll receive a notification that Nightmare Tempest Mephis has appeared, allowing you to challenge it at the location shown in the image above.

Should You Use Nightmare Tempest Mephis?

Whether or not to use Nightmare Tempest Mephis depends on the stats of your Echo drops and the specific Wuthering Waves character you're building. When equipped in the main Echo slot, Nightmare Tempest Mephis grants a bonus to Electro DMG and can be part of either the Void Thunder or Empyrean Anthem Sonata sets. Void Thunder is beneficial for all Electro damage dealers, whereas Empyrean Anthem suits characters capable of Coordinated Attacks, like Yinlin and Yuanwu.

Moreover, Nightmare Tempest Mephis features a unique transformation attack that differs from the regular version, potentially offering new strategic options for certain characters or team compositions. Combined with its passive Electro DMG bonus, this makes Nightmare Echoes a valuable asset for many builds.

However, it's essential to consider the stats of your Echoes. If your Nightmare Tempest Mephis has inferior stats compared to a regular version, sticking with the standard Echo might yield better results overall.
