Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves: Location, rewards, how to defeat

Solaris-III holds many challenges, but few inspire such a mix of awe and trepidation as the Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves.

This towering mechanical monstrosity stands guard in the ruins of a forgotten civilization, a testament to a bygone era of technological might.

For players seeking to test their mettle and acquire powerful rewards, the Mech Abomination is a must-encounter foe. However, defeating this metallic behemoth requires more than just brute force.

This guide equips you with the knowledge and strategies needed to conquer the Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves. We’ll delve into its location, combat tactics to exploit its weaknesses, and tips to rise victorious from this clash between man and machine.

What is Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves?

Mech Abomination is a tacet discord you can encounter in the game. It is basically a giant robot boss that’s resistant to Electro damage.

Mech Abomination location in Wuthering Waves

The Mech Abomination location is in the Whining Aix’s Mire region of Wuthering Waves. Your destination is the Court of Savantae Ruins, which might take some exploration to locate within the Mire.

To get there quickly, look for a Resonance Beacon on the map near the Court of Savantae Ruins. Activating this Resonance Beacon will teleport you right in front of a research facility — that’s your entry point.

Once inside the building, keep your eyes peeled for a large hole in the ground. Don’t worry about falling damage — this is your access point to the Mech Abomination’s lair. Just deploy your glider and descend safely.

How to defeat Mech Abomination: Tips and tricks

The Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves is a formidable foe, but with the right strategy and tactics, you can become victorious. Here are some tips to help you dominate the battlefield:

Dodge, don’t block

The Mech Abomination’s attacks pack a punch, so focusing on dodging is crucial. While blocking can be helpful in a pinch, its attacks tend to break through guards easily. Master the dodge mechanic to stay nimble and avoid heavy damage.

Learn the attack patterns

This mechanical menace has a set of attacks it uses throughout the fight. Take some time at the beginning to observe its movements and telegraphing cues.

Once you recognize the warning signs for each attack, you’ll know exactly when to dodge or jump away.

Exploit the debris

During the fight, keep an eye out for scattered stone debris around the arena. These chunks of rock are more than just set dressing — you can utilize your telekinesis (usually mapped to the “T” button) to grab and hurl these debris at the Mech Abomination.

Hitting the boss with debris not only deals damage but also stuns it momentarily, creating an opening for a close-up attack.

Mind the Electro shield

The Mech Abomination boasts a resistance to Electro damage. This means your Electro-focused attacks won’t be as effective. Focus on using other elemental attacks or physical damage to take it down more efficiently.

The Purple peril

As the Mech Abomination’s health depletes, it unlocks a new attack — a devastating purple laser sweep. When you see it raise its left arm and charge it with purple energy, be prepared to dodge.

The best strategy is to dash directly towards the Mech Abomination (placing yourself behind it) as the laser can’t reach you there. Alternatively, if you’re caught far away, dodge to the side and keep sprinting to avoid the beam.

Embrace the thunderstorm

Another late-fight attack involves the Mech Abomination in Wuthering Waves unleashing a wave of vertical lightning pillars. While this attack looks intimidating, it presents an opportunity. Carefully observe the gaps between the lightning strikes and navigate through them. You can even use these gaps to get close to the Mech Abomination and land some attacks while it’s busy unleashing its electrical fury.

Best team composition to defeat Mech Abomination

Consider your team composition when facing the Mech Abomination. While all characters can contribute, having a healer in your party is highly recommended. The boss deals consistent damage, and a dedicated healer can keep your team topped off and ready for the fight.

Additionally, characters with strong melee or ranged attacks depending on your playstyle are beneficial.
