At a Glance

• Target region: Mengzhou (Land of Xuanfang)
• Echo types: Small and medium size
• Notable enemy: Autopuppet (patrolling Xuanfang halls)
• Primary uses: Skill enhancement, set bonuses, main/sub-stat fodder
• Farming cadence: Daily resets; some spots have higher spawn density

Understanding Mengzhou Echoes

Small and medium Echoes in Mengzhou share a post-apocalyptic aesthetic tied to the Lament lore. Most are Tacet Discords that the Autopuppet actively purges — a detail that ties gameplay to worldbuilding. These Echoes drop two-piece set bonuses that emphasize ATK%, Energy Regen, or specific damage types.

Prioritize Echoes that align with your roster’s missing stats. For example, the Autopuppet Echo contributes to a set that boosts Resonance Skill damage, making it valuable for quickswap characters. Farming routes should focus on clusters near teleport waypoints to minimise sprinting downtime.

Autopuppet: The Guardian of Xuanfang

The Autopuppet is a medium Echo enemy that patrols the halls of Xuanfang. According to official lore, it “spends year after year patrolling these halls, purging the Tacet Discords and any lingering threats left within, maintaining peace in Xuanfang.” This enemy is not aggressive toward players by default — it focuses on Tacet Discords — but engaging it yields a Chirp or Overlord-tier Echo with high base stats.

• Location: Interior corridors of Xuanfang Palace
• Respawn time: ~3 minutes after defeat
• Drop pool: Medium Echo (Chirp/Overlord rarity), Skill enhancement materials

For players seeking a universal ATK% piece, farming the Autopuppet is efficient. Its set bonus pairs well with main DPS characters who rely on skill cooldowns.

Farming Routes and Efficiency

Mengzhou’s map is dense with Echo spawns. Use this priority order when planning a run:

1. Xuanfang Palace interior — Autopuppet and 3-4 medium Tacet Discords
2. Southern Terrace — 5 small Echo spawns (easy to sweep)
3. Eastern Floodplains — 2 medium, 4 small (good for material stacking)

Mark waypoints and reset the world by teleporting to the nearest Resonance Beacon. A full clear of these three zones takes about 8 minutes and yields 8–12 Echoes plus materials.

Best Echoes for Meta Builds

Not all Echoes are created equal. Here are the top small and medium picks from Mengzhou:

Echo Priority Table

Echo Enemy	Size	Set Bonus	Recommended For
Autopuppet	Medium	Skill DMG +12%	Sub-DPS, quickswap
Pale Rider (variant)	Small	Energy Regen +8%	Support/healer
Sunlit Moth (Mengzhou variant)	Small	ATK +10%	Any main DPS
Stone Sentinel	Medium	DEF +18%	Tank/shielder

Focus on farming the Autopuppet and Sunlit Moth first, as they fit into the widest range of team compositions. Retain pieces with Critical Rate/Critical Damage main stats.

Final Thoughts

Mengzhou’s small and medium Echoes are more than filler — they are integral to building effective teams in Wuthering Waves.
