Best Echo Sets for Taoqi
Moonlit Clouds generally increases Taoqi's Energy Regen capabilities as well as increases the ATK of the next character that switches in after Taoqi's Outro Skill. Great for a support character like Taoqi. Unfortunately, we do not have a set that increases DEF yet, so this might change in the future.
Taoqi's Best Primary Echo
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Provides general shield protection for the team when Taoqi is your Sub-DPS. Increases DMG dealt and reduce incoming damage. Shield effect can transfer to the next character.
Impermanence Heron
Restores Taoqi's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a support role for Taoqi.
Stonewall Bracer
A good early game Echo for when you do not have the Geochelone yet. Provides a shield after a successful charge hit.

Taoqi Resonance Skill Team
The Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy and her Resonance Liberation until it is full. Use her Resonance Liberation to buff incoming Resonators., Once Concerto Energy is maxed out, switch to Jinhsi to activate her Intro Skill and upgrade the Shorekeeper's Stellarealm., Use Overflowing Radiance right away, a variation of Jinhsi's Resonance Skill, and then follow it up with another Resonance Skill. Execute Jinhsi's Basic Attack combo to use the final variation of her Resonance Skill, Illuminous Epiphany, to get Unison. Swap out to Taoqi afterward, consuming Unison instead of Concerto Energy., As Taoqi, time your parries and utilize her optimal combos to maximize DPS with her Forte Circuit, as well as gain shields. Swap back to Jinhsi to get the Resonance Skill DMG buff from Taoqi's Outro Skill., As Jinhsi, make sure to fully charge her Forte Circuit gauge before using the Resonance Skill called Illuminous Epiphany to maximize its damage. Continue to DPS with Jinhsi to charge Concerto Energy., Swap to Shorekeeper with full Concerto Energy to detonate her Resonance Liberation with an Enhanced Intro Skill. Repeat these steps until the enemy is felled.
