Best Echo Sets for Denia

Chromatic Foam
5pc
Chromatic Foam

This is Denia's best set if you're using her in a Fusion Burst composition. The set provides Fusion DMG Bonus to both Denia and the next Resonator, boosting her sub-DPS potential significantly. The Main Echo also gives an additional Fusion DMG Bonus, making this the best-in-slot for her role.

Pact of Neonlight Leap
5pc
Pact of Neonlight Leap

This is the recommended set for Denia if you're using her in a Tune Strain-based composition. It provides additional ATK to the next Resonator after Outro, further increased per Tune Break Boost available. After using Echo Skill, Hyvatia also gives an extra 10% All-Attribute DMG to the next Resonator once they enter the field.

This set provides higher damage numbers for the entire team than her best-in-slot set, but requires extended fights to be maximized. In wave-based game modes where you cannot stack Tune Strain on enemies continuously, this set performs significantly worse. Do note that if you're running this set, the 3-4-3-1-1 setup is more ideal.

Flaming Clawprint
5pc
Flaming Clawprint

If you're running a Mono Fusion team, Flaming Clawprint is a viable choice since the set provides the ideal stats Denia needs for her own damage. The general Fusion buffs is good for the team, especially when not running a Fusion Burst composition specifically.

Best Tips & Tricks for Denia

Aim to roll for as much <b>Crit</b> as possible, while ensuring to gain <b>125% Energy Regen</b> on her for Resonance Liberation uptime per rotation. Additionally, Denia is known to scale off <b>Resonance Liberation DMG</b> Bonus, and is suggested for her. Lastly, make sure to not neglect <b>ATK</b>, as this acts as the base stat for her damage.
Focus on leveling up Denia's <b>Forte Circuit</b> and <b>Resonance Liberation</b> skills first.
Use <b>Waltz in Masquerade</b> for Free-to-Play (F2P) if you have no other weapons. It is a craftable Rectifier that provides an ATK boost when applying Negative Statuses.
