Best Echo Sets for Ciaccona

Gusts of Welkin
5pc
Gusts of Welkin

Gusts of Welkin is Ciaccona's best-in-slot Echo set as it provides a party-wide Aero DMG increase for 20s, making it ideal for sub-DPS Ciaccona in Aero teams. With Fleurdelys as the main Echo, her own damage is also buffed which is great for her on-field and off-field damage.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Moonlit Clouds is a secondary option for Ciaccona, as it provides decent ATK buffs to a dedicated DPS on-field when switching out. It also provides Ciaccona with Energy Regen, letting her Resonance Liberation have more uptime.

Gusts of Welkin
2pc
Gusts of Welkin
Sierra Gale
2pc
Sierra Gale

A 2-pc Gusts of Welkin and Sierra Gale will be a decent early option for Ciaccona. Its only shortcoming is it provides buffs solely to Ciaccona, reducing her Sub-DPS potential.

Ciaccona's Best Primary Echo

Reminiscence: Fleurdelys

Reminiscence: Fleurdelys

Best-in-slot option for Ciaccona. Only 4-cost Echo in the Gusts of Welkin set. Provides Aero DMG Bonus. Deals decent Aero DMG against enemies multiple times.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Decent option for Ciaccona if you opt to use Moonlit Clouds on her. Increases damage dealt by the next Resonator after switching out.

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

Good option for Ciaccona if you're running a 2-pc Gusts of Welkin and Sierra Gale on her. Provides Aero DMG Bonus and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus. Better option than Fleurdelys in this circumstance, but Gusts of Welkin set is significantly better.

Prioritize Resonance Liberation first, then Forte Circuit.
Balance Crit Rate and Crit DMG, aim for 1:2 ratio.
Use Gusts of Welkin set for best Aero support.
Woodland Aria is her signature weapon, but Phasic Homogenizer is a great substitute.
In Spectro Frazzle teams, Moonlit Clouds set is recommended.

Best Teams for Ciaccona

Premium Aero Erosion Team

Ciaccona's best team is undoubtedly with Cartethyia in an Aero Erosion team. As a unit, Ciaccona provides multiple Aero DMG and Aero Erosion buffs that this team maximizes, with Cartethyia being the premier Aero Erosion DPS unit in the game. Chisa is the best support due to DEF shred, healing, shielding, and Erosion stack limit increase, but Aero Rover is a free alternative.

Start combat with Chisa and build up her Forte with her Resonance Skill and Basic Attacks. Once her Forte reaches around 60 points, cast her Liberation to deal good damage, enhance her Sawring attacks, and fill her Forte bar., With her Forte full, cast her enhanced Resonance Skill to enter Chainsaw Mode., Then, hold her attack button to perform her full Sawring attack string. Once done, she can use her Outro and switch to Ciaccona.

Note: Her Outro increases the max Erosion stack limit to 6., As Ciaccona enters with her Intro Skill, she will generate 1 Musical Essence and inflict 1 Erosion stack on enemies. This can be followed up with two Basic Attacks to generate one more Musical Essence and let her do a Solo Concert.

Solo Concert: Provides 24% Aero DMG Bonus to all team members., Cast her Resonance Skill and continue this with three Basic Attacks to complete her Musical Essence Stacks. Once her Forte Circuit is full, cast a Heavy Attack to group enemies and deal damage., Next, cast her Resonance Liberation and switch to Cartethyia when her Intro Skill is available. Make sure Ciaccona applies Aero Erosion in her Liberation., Ciaccona's Outro Skill will amplify Aero Erosion DMG by 100% for 30s. When Cartethyia is on-field, do her optimal rotations to summon her Sword Shadows and recall them immediately before transforming into Fleurdelys., While Fleurdelys is active, do her optimal rotations to build up her Conviction stacks. As this happens, Ciaccona will be providing Aero Erosion stacks to enemies which Cartethyia benefits from., Once her Conviction stacks reach 120, cast her second Resonance Liberation to deal high Aero DMG, amplified by Aero Erosion stacks on targets., Lastly, use her Outro Skill to amplify other team members' Aero DMG and switch to Chisa. Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Aero Echo Skill Team

Ciaccona in a hypercarry setup with Sigrika and Qiuyuan makes up for a very strong team oriented towards Echo Skill DMG. The two sub-DPS units funnel all DMG buffs to Sigrika, who has some of the highest multipliers in the game. Note that this setup is challenging due to lack of sustain, but offers very high DPS.

Start with Ciaccona and quickly generate her Ensemble Sylphs with Basic Attacks and her Resonance Skill to deal damage and give a team-wide Aero DMG Bonus. Make sure to cast Echo Skill throughout her combos., Once Ciaccona has three bars in her Forte, cast Heavy Attack to pull and group enemies together. Then, cast Resonance Liberation to apply Erosion stacks and deal off-field damage before switching out to Qiuyuan via Outro., After Qiuyuan's Intro, perform two Basic Attacks to fill his Forte quickly. Then, cast Echo Skill and his Resonance Liberation to deal extra damage to enemies., Next, hold his Heavy Attack button to perform his 3-step attack string, consuming his Forte in the process. Lastly, cast Resonance Skill before switching to Sigrika via Outro., As Sigrika, quickly cast Echo Skill and three Basic Attacks. Then, cast Resonance Skill to generate two Runes followed by an enhanced Heavy Attack., Afterwards, cast Resonance Liberation to enter the Divergent state., Next, do five more Basic Attacks to gain two Rune stacks. Once available, do an empowered Heavy Attack., After performing two Heavy Attacks, hold Resonance Skill to charge it. Once the instance of damage is dealt, you can switch back to Ciaccona with Outro., Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Jiyan Aero DPS Team

Ciaccona and Aero Rover synergize well, providing buffs to Jiyan and making up a decent team. Note that this is not a better team than Jiyan with Mortefi and Shorekeeper, but it is viable as an option. Ciaccona inflicts ample Aero Erosion stacks and gives multiple Aero DMG buffs, while Rover (Aero) acts as secondary sub-DPS and support.

Start with Ciaccona on-field and have her generate Ensemble Sylphs while applying Erosion stacks on to enemies. When her Concerto is filled, switch to Aero Rover., Have Aero Rover quickly build up their Windstrings and deal good damage with their internal rotations. Once their Outro is available, switch to Ciaccona once again to increase the Erosion stack limit., With Ciaccona on-field again, apply more Erosion stacks with her skills. Make sure to perform a Solo Concert while doing her combos to boost Aero DMG for the team., Once her Forte bar is filled, cast a Heavy Attack to group enemies together and deal good damage. Then, cast her Resonance Liberation to deal off-field damage before casting her Outro., Have Jiyan cast Resonance Liberation immediately after entering the field. With his damage buffed by Ciaccona, deal big AoE damage against enemies., Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

F2P Full Aero Team

For F2P players, Ciaccona will be a big boost to Aero teams as she synergizes extremely well with Rover (Aero), who is accessible to all players. Aalto receives significant buffs from Aero Rover and Ciaccona's Aero DMG Bonus buffs, increasing his overall potential as a DPS unit.

Initiate combat with Ciaccona and build up Erosion stacks with her skills. Once her Concerto gauge is filled, use her Outro to Aero Rover., Build up Aero Rover's Windstrings and deal damage with his enhanced skill and Liberation. Once their Outro is available, switch to Ciaccona again to increase max Erosion stacks that can be inflicted., When Ciaccona enters combat for the second time, generate Musical Essence and apply more Erosion stacks via her skills. Make sure that she is able to perform a Solo Concert with her Ensemble Sylphs to provide a significant Aero DMG boost to the entire team., Next, cast her Heavy Attack once she has 3 Musical Essence to group enemies and deal decent damage. Lastly, cast her Resonance Liberation to provide Aero Erosion stacks and damage to enemies. Switch to Aalto afterwards., Having Aalto on-field, do his internal combos to deal damage against enemies., Repeat this until combat is finished.

Spectro Frazzle Team

Zani can work with Ciaccona despite being a non-Spectro unit as she can consistently apply Frazzle stacks through her Resonance Liberation, providing Zani ways to generate her Heliacal Embers. Provide team-wide buffs with Shorekeeper to enhance damage. Ciaccona deals damage and debuffs even when off-field, which can be maximized by Zani.

Start with Shorekeeper and do her optimal internal rotations. Cast her Resonance Liberation to have Stellarealm up and switch to Ciaccona once her Concerto gauge is filled., Once on-field, have Ciaccona do her optimal combos and build up her Resonance energy as quickly as possible. When available, group up enemies with her enhanced Heavy Attack and immediately cast her Resonance Liberation., Upon casting her Resonance Liberation, have her apply Spectro Frazzle instead of Aero Erosion. Switch to Zani afterwards, and make sure that Ciaccona's last Tonic is Yellow and applying Spectro Frazzle., Have Zani do her optimal combos to enter Inferno mode efficiently. When in her Inferno mode, Ciaccona will continuously apply Spectro Frazzle stacks while off-field and aiding Zani. Make use of this by attacking enemies with her Heavy Slashes., Once her 2nd Resonance Liberation is up and her Blaze depleted, cast it to deal great damage against enemies. Switch to Shorekeeper afterwards and detonate Stellarealm., Repeat until no enemies are left in the field.
