Best Echo Sets for Augusta

Crown of Valor
2pc
Crown of Valor
Void Thunder
2pc
Void Thunder

Best — Crown of Valor's large ATK & Crit DMG bonuses are maximized by Augusta's ability to maintain shields, and Void Thunder gives Electro DMG. This combination gives the best overall DPS.

Crown of Valor
2pc
Crown of Valor
Lingering Tunes
2pc
Lingering Tunes

2nd best — Crown of Valor remains the best 3pc; Lingering Tunes is a viable 2pc supplementary ATK buff if you don't need Void Thunder.

Void Thunder
5pc
Void Thunder

Good early-game / easy-to-obtain option — A full Void Thunder set gives strong Electro DMG bonus and is accessible; Tempest Mephis pairs decently with it.

Augusta's Best Primary Echo

The False Sovereign

The False Sovereign

Best main Echo — Provides passive Electro and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus and deals high Electro DMG when the Echo Skill is cast. Synergizes extremely well with Augusta's Heavy Attack-focused kit.

Tempest Mephis

Tempest Mephis

Alternative — Grants Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG after its Claw attack hits. Works but takes time to ramp and its Echo Skill can cause small DPS loss compared to The False Sovereign.

Best Tips & Tricks for Augusta

Equip a 4-cost Echo with a CRIT main stat (Thunderflare Dominion gives only 12.1% Crit Rate, so a CRIT main on a 4-cost Echo helps reach 70–80% Crit Rate).
Target ~70–80% Crit Rate and ~220–250% Crit DMG; ATK should be 2100+ (optimal ~250% Crit DMG if you get perfect rolls).
Use Crown of Valor (3pc) + Void Thunder (2pc) as the primary set composition; the False Sovereign is the recommended main Echo.
For 3-cost Echoes: prefer Electro DMG main pieces; ATK% is a decent fallback but slightly worse.
Prioritize substats: double Crit rolls (Crit Rate then Crit DMG), then Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, then ATK%. Aim for ~120% Energy Regen for stable Liberation usage.
Skill leveling priority: Resonance Liberation > Forte Circuit > Normal Attack > Resonance Skill > Intro Skill.
The False Sovereign outperforms Tempest Mephis in most cases; Tempest Mephis is a workable alternate if you lack Sovereign but can be slower to ramp and its Echo Skill may cause small DPS loss.
Augusta benefits from weapons that boost Heavy Attack DMG. Verdant Summit and Thunderflare Dominion synergize especially well; Thunderflare also provides stacking DEF ignore when shields are present.

Best Teams for Augusta

Heavy Attack Premium Team

Recommended Echo sets: Augusta — Crown of Valor (3pc) + Void Thunder (2pc). Iuno — Crown of Valor (3pc) + Sierra Gale (2pc); you may instead use Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage in place of Sierra Gale since they provide the same Aero DMG increase (choose based on which echoes you own). Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Team summary: Augusta + Iuno is a strong thematic and mechanical pairing: Iuno grants 40% All DMG and 50% Heavy Attack DMG amplification that Augusta can fully utilize via their shield-stacking interaction. Shorekeeper is the preferred support for this comp for consistent healing and team-wide buffs, though other supports listed can be used depending on availability and playstyle.

1) Start with Shorekeeper and build up her Resonance and Concerto Energy with her combos. Then, activate Stellarealm and switch to Iuno once her Intro is available., 2) As Iuno, immediately use Resonance Skill upon entering with her Intro to activate the Lunar Cycle. Then, jump afterwards to quickly enter the New Moon state., 3) In the New Moon state, cast her Liberation to fill her Sentience points. Continue with three Basic Attacks and two enhanced Resonance Skills to consume her Forte energy., 4) After consuming all Sentience points and filling up her Concerto Energy, do a Heavy Attack to activate Full Moon Domain, which will generate Blessing of the Wan Light stacks for Augusta. Once done, switch to Augusta., 5) With Augusta on-field, quickly perform her Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks then cast Echo Skill to deal Electro DMG., 6) Cast Resonance Skill and Liberation, then a Heavy Attack combo afterwards to fill her Ascendancy stacks. Then, perform her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo., 7) Once she is able to do her Forte Plunge, activate her Majesty-enhanced Resonance Liberation and enter Sworn Allegiance., 8) Pause time for 7s. During this time, attack 9 times with Sunborne slashes then cast Everbright Protector., 9) After finishing Sworn Allegiance, deal a Heavy Attack Combo (HA + BA2-4)., 10) Switch out to Shorekeeper with her Intro and detonate Stellarealm., 11) Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Augusta Dual DPS Team

Recommended Echo sets: Augusta — Crown of Valor (3pc) + Void Thunder (2pc). Phrolova — Dream of the Lost (3pc) + Havoc Eclipse (2pc); Midnight Veil can be used as an alternative 2pc for Havoc DMG bonus. Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Team summary: This double-DPS setup leverages Phrolova's Heavy Attack DMG amplification to further boost Augusta's heavy-attack-oriented kit, while Shorekeeper provides team-wide buffs and sustain. For higher damage focus, consider replacing Shorekeeper with Cantarella as noted.

1) Start off with Shorekeeper and go through her internal rotations to build up her Resonance and Concerto gauges. Then, activate Stellarealm and switch to Phrolova when her Intro is available., 2) Generate six Volatile Notes via Phrolova's Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos. Once six Volatile Notes are available, perform Scarlet Coda and enter the Resolving Chord state., 3) Perform her Liberation during the Resolving Chord state. As Hecate is summoned, Phrolova can control its performance. Switch to Augusta when Outro is available., 4) With Augusta on-field, quickly perform her Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks then cast Echo Skill to deal Electro DMG., 5) Activate her Resonance Skill and Liberation, followed by more Heavy Attacks to bring her Ascendancy to 100., 6) Cast her Forte-enhanced Resonance Skill combo. Once she is able to do her Forte Plunge, hold Liberation and enter Sworn Allegiance., 7) Time stops for 7 seconds. During this time, attack 9 times with Sunborne slashes then cast Everbright Protector., 8) Switch to Shorekeeper to finally detonate Stellarealm., 9) Repeat until all enemies are defeated.
