Best Echo Sets for Ciaccona
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 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.
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
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
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
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.
