Crownless is a world boss in Wuthering Waves, residing on the border of desert and mountainous areas. He is a valuable source of the "Sovereign" class Echo, necessary for Havoc element resonators.

Where to Find Crownless

Boss location: Central Plains (Gorges of Spirits), southwest of Memento Square.

First, teleport to Stone Pile Plain. Proceed to the cave located opposite the teleportation point. Follow the cave until you reach a cliff. Below, there will be an arena where Crownless is located.

Activate the "Resonance Cord" button to start the fight. Use the compass to better navigate the cave. Be careful with falling rocks that can cause damage. Before activating the "Resonance Cord" button, make sure your squad is ready for battle.

How to Defeat Crownless

Crownless is a strong boss who uses various attacks, both blockable and unblockable. His main mechanics are:

• Parryable attacks. A yellow circle indicates the moment for a parry, reducing the boss's stamina;
• Unblockable attacks. Dodge attacks without a yellow circle, especially aerial series;
• Counterattack moment. Attack the boss when he kneels after breaking his stamina.

The essence of the tactic is to attack the boss when he is vulnerable. Use characters capable of parrying and counterattacking. This will not only deal damage but also stun the boss, creating windows for attack. After breaking Crownless's stamina, he kneels down, becoming defenseless. Use this moment to deal maximum damage.

Dodge unblockable attacks. Do not neglect this mechanic, as Crownless can inflict serious damage with swift strikes. Pay attention to on-screen prompts. Be attentive to visual and audio cues to react to the boss's attacks in time.

To increase your chances of victory, use healing items and support skills.
