Best Echo Sets for Cantarella
Midnight Veil is the best-in-slot 5-pc echo set for Cantarella as it deals decent Havoc DMG while boosting the next Resonator's Havoc DMG Bonus. We recommend getting Lorelei as she provides Cantarella with extra Havoc DMG Bonus and Basic Attack DMG Bonus, which she both scales off.
Empyrean Anthem is also a good option for Cantarella as it maximizes her Coordinated Attacks to deal as much damage as possible while also increasing the active Resonator's ATK. Hecate as the main echo provides further Coordinated Attack DMG Bonus, making it a decent option for Cantarella.
This set improves upon Cantarella as a Sub-DPS as it increases the next Resonator's ATK and damage dealt with Impermanence Heron. However, Cantarella benefits more from the first two sets, making this an early option that can be swapped later on.
Cantarella's Best Primary Echo
Lorelei
Passively increases Cantarella's Havoc DMG Bonus and Basic Attack DMG Bonus. Best-in-slot Echo for Cantarella as a unit.
Hecate
Provides significant increase in Coordinated Attack damage which works extremely well with Cantarella's Ultimate. Deals Havoc damage around Cantarella, dealing extra damage while not taking up time in casting. Great option for Coordinated Attack-oriented build.
Impermanence Heron
Decent echo choice for Cantarella as a Sub-DPS. Maximizes her outro skill buffs for the next resonator on the field.
