If You Gaze Into the Abyss of Dreams Event - Wuthering Waves (WuWa) - Version 2.2

If You Gaze Into the Abyss of Dreams Event - Wuthering Waves (WuWa) - Version 2.2

The **If You Gaze Into the Abyss of Dreams** event in *Wuthering Waves* Version 2.2 is a co-op combat event running from **April 17, 2025, to April 28, 2025**. Below is a comprehensive overview based on available information:

### Event Details
- **Location**: Whining Aix's Mire, Huanglong
- **Unlock Requirements**: Reach Union Level 22 and complete the corresponding event quest by speaking to **Dorothy**, found near a mysterious gate in Whining Aix's Mire.
- **Event Structure**: The event consists of **10 levels** (5 Regular Levels and 5 Challenge Levels). Completing a Regular Level unlocks its corresponding Challenge Level.
- **Gameplay**: Players engage in combat challenges, facing bosses like **Lorelei**, **Sentry Construct**, and **Hecate**. The event emphasizes quick-swap playstyles and optimal team rotations to counter enemy mechanics. Only specific **Echoes** (Dorothy's Companions) can be equipped, replacing the main Echo Skill but retaining Sonata effects. Downed Resonators auto-revive after a short period.
- **Co-op Challenges**: The event supports co-op, but some players have noted that bosses like Lorelei are not well-designed for co-op due to visual clutter and chaotic movesets, making solo play a viable alternative.

### Event Schedule
- **Start**: April 17, 2025, 10:00 (server time)
- **End**: April 28, 2025, 03:59 (server time)

### Key Levels and Strategies
1. **Level I: The Triangle** (Boss: Alter Ego, Lorelei variant)
- Recommended Team: **Shorekeeper**, **Yinlin**, **Xiangli Yao**
- Strategy: Start with Shorekeeper, followed by Yinlin and Xiangli Yao. Use quick-swapping to avoid combo interruptions from Lorelei and leverage Assist Echoes for buffs.
2. **Level IV: Endless Dream** (Boss: Sentry Construct)
- Trial Characters: **Brant**, **Changli**, **Sanhua**
- Strategy: Focus on mid-air combat with a quick-swap playstyle. Use Sanhua to buff Brant’s Basic Attack DMG, then swap to Brant for combos and Changli for Resonance Skill and Fusion DMG buffs.
3. **Final Regular Level** (Boss: Hecate)
- Trial Characters: **Carlotta**, **Zhezhi**, **Verina**
- Strategy: Utilize Carlotta and Zhezhi’s mobility skills to counter Hecate’s AoE attacks. Verina provides healing and support to sustain the team.

### Rewards
- **Stage Rewards**: Earned by meeting point requirements in Regular Levels.
- **Point Rewards**: Based on the total points accumulated from the highest scores in Regular Levels.
- **Challenge Level Rewards**: Granted upon clearing each Challenge Level.
- Specific rewards (e.g., Astrite, materials) are not fully detailed but align with typical event rewards like those in other Version 2.2 events (e.g., Surveillance Datasets, crafting materials).

### Player Sentiment
- Some players have expressed frustration, calling the event one of the worst in gacha games due to lengthy boss fights (e.g., five-minute battles with Lorelei) and co-op issues. Others find solo play more manageable but still mechanically repetitive.
- Despite criticism, the event offers engaging combat for players who enjoy optimizing rotations and experimenting with trial characters.

### Tips
- **Fast Travel**: Use the Resonance Beacon near Dorothy for quick access to the event area.
- **Team Building**: Experiment with trial characters to learn their kits, especially for players lacking strong DPS units like Cantarella or Camellya.
- **Echo Management**: Prioritize Dorothy’s Companions for enhanced combat abilities, as they significantly boost Resonator performance.
- **Co-op Strategy**: If playing co-op, coordinate with teammates to avoid overlapping skills and manage boss aggro effectively.

### Additional Notes
- The event ties into the Version 2.2 storyline, particularly the **Avinoleum Theological Seminary** and the main quest *The Maiden, The Defier, The Death Crier*. Completing the event quest provides context for Dorothy’s role and the crisis within the mysterious gate.
