Fallacy of No Return is an Overworld-class boss that Wuthering Waves players can fight and defeat to get excellent rewards and an Echo skill. Here’s how to go about it.

Wuthering Waves is one of the few surviving Genshin Impact-like gachas with a sizeable playing audience. With gameplay mechanics focusing more on making the combat and exploration loop fun, developer Kuro Games has separated itself from many of the already-established games in the genre.

In addition to its dynamic combat, Wuthering Waves is best known for its bosses. Fallacy of No Return is one of the bosses players can battle multiple times in order to get ascension materials and more. Here’s how to beat Fallacy of No Return in Wuthering Waves and the rewards for defeating it.

Fighting the Fallacy of No Return in WuWa

Fallacy of No Return has two distinct forms. It has a hammer in the first form and two deadly giant arms in the second. The first form is fairly straightforward as players can use perfect dodges to evade its attacks and counter to chip off its health bar. The second form can cause some problems as it’s more mobile and aerial. Using ranged characters is the way to go here, though characters with strong aerial dominance such as Changli are also viable.

During the battle, Fallacy of No Return will start charging an attack while glowing red, signaling its overclock state. With a high resistance to interruptions in this state, Wuthering Waves players will want to start going on the defensive and attack from a range, or focus purely on avoiding its attacks until the state resolves.
