In Wuthering Waves’ dystopian open world, there are many challenging enemies to fight, but the elite enemies are the toughest of the bunch.
Elite enemies have a red aura around them, unlike normal Tacet Discords. While your current Union Level in Wuthering Waves dictates how dangerous enemies you face, elite enemies completely bypass that rule and always spawn at their pre-determined level. This means higher-level foes can wipe you with a single swipe, or you can endure the challenge and have a shot at getting purple/gold Echoes to fill your Data Bank.
Here’s everything you need to know about the elite enemies in Wuthering Waves (and where to find them).

The first time you defeat an elite enemy, you unlock a trophy in the Battle Skills for that Tacet Discord, which is a nice reward to gain progress in Wuthering Waves. Since these elite enemies are harder to take down, they also drop a high-tier Echo after you defeat them, making these places a great place to farm them. It also helps you get your hands on the desired subsets for your Echoes and take them to battle with you.
