Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another video by yours truly.

I got on Twitter and saw that Wuthering Waves dropped what I believe to be some very like massive significant news to their game and their marketing for it hasn't been the greatest.

They put out a tweet right here and it's definitely a thread on their website, but this is like game changing news.

If you ask me, we're getting an elemental system apparently based off of this.

What I've seen, we're getting a whole elemental system, which admittedly, as much as I praise

Wuthering Waves, it's had one of the most worthless elemental systems that I've ever seen.

It's just like, bro, you might as well just take the elements out the game because we don't even use the map apart from your little debuff that you put on bosses to just pretty much, you know, split up what characters belong to what it was kind of useless.

I already kind of knew what it did because the MC, the Spectral MC, has it built into their kit.

And then there's a new set that also has it.

This is completely new, which would trip me out.

And I guess it's coming in with Phoebe, but I don't believe it's only pertinent to Phoebe.

I think it's just going to be whoever has the Spectral Frazzle buff built into their kit.

Which blows my mind because what that means is Kudo Devs is still evolving their combat, which is so cool to me.

Like we're getting new combat disruptive mechanisms put into the game and we're I don't even remember what month we're on.

We're definitely coming up on a year here eventually.

But I'm looking at this and what I see is it's quite literally a copy and paste mathematically from Genshin Impact.

Their formula, their elemental reaction system, a large portion of their elemental reactions are completely dependent on your level, the enemy's defense, and the enemy's elemental resistance.

That's literally the elemental reaction system for the large, I mean, for the vast elemental reactions in the game.

And so generally when you want to do maximum damage, your character has to be level 80.

Whoever's trying to trigger these buffs, you want them to be as high as the level as possible because the scaling's insane.

Like if you're level 70 and then you're level 80, that debuff, Spectral Frazzle for example, it's going to be significantly higher in damage.

And so this means you're going to have to start taking your characters up to level 80.

We'll continue going on further down the line.

But the only way for you to deal more damage is if you can reduce the enemy's defense, which there's some characters in the game that can already do that, or you can reduce their elemental resistance.

Again, Spectral Rover can literally reduce elemental resistance at E6, and I think the

So now we're going to start like being on the lookout for characters that reduce defense and reduce elemental resistance.

And then you're going to go, okay, I'm going to pair that with this dodge play style.

Now let's go ahead and read it and then we'll go over these down here because this all looks,

Let me go, let me go, you know, Kung Fu Panda might be making a comeback with this thing right here, bro.

Certain spectral attacks inflict a stackable Spectral Frazzle effect.

Spectral Frazzle effect deals spectral damage to the target at regular intervals during its duration.

While reducing one stack of Spectral Frazzle effect.

Now this is interesting because what this is saying is once they take the damage, then a stack goes away.

The damage inflicted by Spectral Frazzle effect depends on the resonator's level, defense, and damage resistance.

And the number of Spectral Frazzle effect stacks.

So yeah, however many stacks you have, the level of you, and then the defense and resistance of the enemy.

It is not influenced by the resonator's attack, crit rate, or other factors.

Very similar to dot and HSR, but also similar to elemental reactions and Genshin Impact.

Perform enhanced resonance skill when Rover Spectro has more than 50% of diminutive, diminutive, diminutive, there we go, sound to inflict two stacks of Spectral Frazzle effect and shimmer on the target.

Now what's funny is these, like this description was already in the game.

And when I was looking at it, I was like, what the fuck is a shimmer?

So targets affected by shimmer retain their Spectral Frazzle effect stacks, even though the effect normally decreases stacks upon dealing damage.

So, you know, up there, it literally said, if you do a tick, it takes the stack away.

Well, if you put shimmer on them, it retains the stacks.

What that means is you're going to be on the lookout for, I guess, particular Spectral characters that can inflict shimmer on a target.

That way you can ensure that you always have maximum Spectral Frazzle stacks to do maximum dot damage.

Anyways, Resonance Liberation applies six stacks of Spectral Frazzle effect to all targets in range.

So the Rover's value is aging like wine with these new implementations of a combat system.

Now my next question is how many stacks is the cap, which I haven't seen that disclosed yet.

Phoebe, Phoebe has an ability called Confession.

Phoebe and her Confession status is adept at afflicting Spectral Frazzle effect on enemies.

Heavy attack Starflash applies five stacks of Spectral Frazzle effect to the target.

Okay, so just her heavy attack, five off ramp.

Upon entering the Confession status, Phoebe can immediately perform heavy attack Starflash twice.

Because this already sounds like a shit ton of stacks.

Resonance Lib inflicts eight stacks of Spectral Frazzle.

Yeah, so Phoebe's a Spectral Frazzle stacking machine.

If multiple Resonators apply Spectral Frazzle effect to the same target, its base damage is determined by the highest level Resonator.

Okay, now this is massive, especially for casual players and people who don't want to get sweaty with rotations and have a brain fog of, oh, who do I do it with first?

They're going to pick the highest level character that's inflicting it on your team and make that the representation of the stacks.

So if you have a level 70 Spectral Rover and a level 80 Phoebe both inflicting Spectral

Frazzle, the level 80 Phoebe is the one it's going to prioritize as the stack value.

That means you're going to always do the maximum damage.
