Best Echo Sets for Mortefi

Empyrean Anthem
5pc
Empyrean Anthem

Empyrean Anthem provides the set holder a significant increase in Coordinated Attack damage, and increases the active Resonator's ATK when doing critical hits. This works well with Mortefi as it increases his off-field damage while offering decent buffs to the DPS. Note that Mortefi's S4 Resonance Chain is a must-have with this set to fully utilize the buffs provided through the extended duration of his Resonance Liberation.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Moonlit Clouds generally increases Mortefi's Energy Regen capabilities as well as increases the ATK of the next character that switches in after Mortefi's Outro Skill. Considering Mortefi's main kit revolves around his Liberation, you'd want this to have as little downtime as possible.

Molten Rift

Molten Rift

The 2-pc bonuses of the Moonlit Clouds and Molten Rift sets can also be utilized together as Mortefi benefits from both. His damage scales off Fusion DMG and his Liberation can be casted more often thanks to the Energy Regen.

Mortefi's Best Primary Echo

Hecate

Hecate

Provides significant increase in Coordinated Attack damage which works extremely well with Mortefi's Ultimate. Deals Havoc damage around Mortefi, dealing extra damage while not taking up time in casting.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Restores Mortefi's Resonance Energy so he can cast his Ultimate more. Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Mortefi.

Nightmare: Inferno Rider

Nightmare: Inferno Rider

A good Fusion damage dealer when using Mortefi as a DPS. Replace with a support-centric Echo in the later parts of the game. Use regular Inferno Rider while you have no access to Rinascita.

Inferno Rider

Inferno Rider

A good Molten Rift option if you're not in Rinascita yet, and have not accessed the Nightmare version.

Best Tips & Tricks for Mortefi

Mortefi's coordinated attack damage comes mostly from his <b>Resonance Liberation</b>, so level that one up first. Afterward, focus on his <b>Forte Circuit</b> for an additional source of damage while following it up with his Resonance Skill or Normal Attack.
Aim for around <b>65% - 70% CRIT Rate</b> to reliably trigger Empryean Anthem effects.

Best Teams for Mortefi

Aero Heavy Attack Team

Empyrean Anthem is only recommended on Mortefi if you have him at S4. If not, Moonlit Clouds is ideal on him. This team composition focuses on buffing Jiyan's overall damage in battle using Mortefi's buffs. Mortefi can increase Jiyan's Heavy Attack DMG through his Outro Skill, while Shorekeeper keeps up the team's health and provides buffs through her Resonance Liberation and Outro Skill.

Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges both her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow., Cast Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation and switch to Mortefi once his portrait lights up. Shorekeeper's Outro Skill will increase his All-Type DMG Deepen buff and provide passive defensive bonuses., Keep attacking the enemy with Mortefi until his Resonance Liberation is up. Activate Mortefi's Resonance Liberation as soon as you can and then switch to Jiyan to increase the latter's Heavy Attack DMG., Use Jiyan's Resonance Liberation to enter Qingloong Mode. This mode will consider all of his Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters into Heavy Attacks, which will maximize the buff placed on him by Mortefi., Continue to DPS with Jiyan until Concerto Energy is fully charged, then swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate her Stellarealm with her Enhanced Intro Skill., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Electro Heavy Attack Team

Empyrean Anthem is only recommended on Mortefi if you have him at S4. If not, Moonlit Clouds is ideal on him. Mortefi is an excellent sub-DPS for Augusta, making up her best available team with Shorekeeper. Mortefi excels at buffing Heavy Attack DMG, which Augusta primarily scales off of. Furthermore, he deals quite good off-field damage with his Coordinated attacks. For supports, Shorekeeper is the most optimal due to her high DMG buffing and healing capabilities, but you can use other alternatives like Verina or even Baizhi if you don't have any of the 5-star units.

Start with Shorekeeper and go through her internal rotations to build up both her Concerto and Resonance Energy. Then, activate Stellarealm once available and switch out to Mortefi with her Outro., Have Mortefi attack enemies and build up Energy via his Resonance Skill resets. Then, cast his Liberation to provide Augusta with Coordinated Attacks., Activate Mortefi's Echo Skill to get its buffs before switching to Augusta when her Intro is available., As Augusta, perform her Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks and then follow it up with her Echo Skill to deal Electro DMG., Cast her Resonance Skill and Liberation, followed by more Heavy Attacks to fill her Ascendancy stacks. Then, perform her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo to get 1 Majesty stack., Once she has 2 Majesty stacks, activate her second Resonance Liberation and enter Sworn Allegiance., During Sworn Allegiance, time is stopped for 7 seconds. Within this period, attack 9 times with Sunborne slashes and cast Everbright Protector afterwards., Once available, switch to Shorekeeper via her Intro Skill to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Mono Fusion Heavy Attack Team

Empyrean Anthem is only recommended on Mortefi if you have him at S4. If not, Moonlit Clouds is ideal on him. Galbrena works with Mortefi and Lupa to make up a unique Mono Fusion team revolving around funneling Fusion DMG and Heavy Attack DMG buffs to Galbrena. Fusion DMG increases overall damage regardless of DMG type scaling, so Galbrena benefits from this greatly. The main downside to this team is that there are no dedicated support units to give sustain, such as healing and shielding. This is a damage-oriented team that requires precision with dodging and counter attacks.

Initiate combat with Lupa and cast two instances of her Resonance Skill. Then, perform Liberation to activate Pack Hunt and Glory., Use Foebreaker to deal damage and build up Wolflame stacks with her mid-air attacks. Then, convert it to Wolfaith once full with her Mid-air and Heavy Attacks. Lastly, cast Echo Skill to give Galbrena Afterflame stacks then perform Resonance Skill before switching to Mortefi., Have Mortefi attack enemies and generate Energy via his Resonance Skill resets. Then, cast his Liberation to give Galbrena coordinated attacks. Before switching out via his Outro, make sure to cast his Echo Skill first for Afterflame stacks., As Galbrena enters the field, quickly activate her Echo Skill and follow-up with 6 Basic Attacks. Then, cast Resonance Skill once her Forte is full to enter Demon Hypostasis., In Demon Hypostasis, cast Liberation to deal damage and increase her other skills' DMG multipliers. Then, follow this up with 7 Basic Attacks to consume her Forte energy for extra damage., Once her Forte is depleted and her Outro is available, switch back to Lupa., Repeat until there are no enemies left in the field.

Coordinated Attack Team

Empyrean Anthem is only recommended on Mortefi if you have him at S4. If not, Moonlit Clouds is ideal on him. This team composition will revolve around Mortefi providing Coordinated Attacks through his Resonance Liberation to support Jinhsi's Incandescence stack. Verina also provides extra Coordinated Attacks apart from her added healing and team-wide buffs.

Use Verina first and use her usual Support Combo, ending with her Resonance Liberation. Afterwards, swap to Mortefi., Immediately cast Jinhsi's Overflowing Radiance and follow it up with another Resonance Skill attack. Afterward, complete her Basic Attack combo up to Stage 4, then cast Illuminous Epiphany to enable Unison, which allows her to be swapped off-field without consuming Concerto Energy., Switch to Mortefi and perform his optimal combos while charging up his Resonance Liberation. Cast it once available to enable his off-field Coordinated Attacks, then switch back to Jinhsi., Once Jinhsi is back on the field, the main goal would be to stack her Incandesence and increase the damage of her Resonance Skill: Illuminous Epiphany with the help of Mortefi's and Verina's Coordinated Attacks to maximize its damage output. Be sure to cast her Resonance Liberation when available., Switch to Verina again to and repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
