Best Echo Sets for Youhu

Rejuvenating Glow
5pc
Rejuvenating Glow

Rejuvenating Glow is highly beneficial for Youhu as it provides increases ATK that also helps Youhu increase her general healing capabilities. We also slotted in Bell-Borne to add shielding to the team and improve survivability. You can also replace this with Fallacy of No Return, but you will have to give up a bit of comfort when fighting enemies.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

This set is a good option for Youhu if her main role is a Glacio Sub-DPS. This will ensure faster cast times on her Resonance Liberation, and will further deepen the damage of the next Resonator when Youhu uses her outro skill.

Moonlit Clouds
Lingering Tunes

Lingering Tunes

This option is a good start if you are looking to utilize more of Youhu's offensive abilities without falling too short on her healing capability. In the long run, you can swap out Lingering tunes for Freezing Frost or Moonlit Clouds for Rejuvenating Glow depending on your preference for her as a healer or damage dealer.

Youhu's Best Primary Echo

Bell-Borne Geochelone

Bell-Borne Geochelone

The best main echo for Youhu considering it deals Glacio DMG and can shield Yohou and her allies. Bell-Borne can also have the Moonlit Clouds or Rejuvenating Glow Sonata Effects so it is quite economical to farm even in the early to mid-game. You may also switch the sonata effect depending on Youhu's role in your team: Moonlit Clouds for SubDPS or Rejuvenating Glow for Support.

Fallacy of No Return

Fallacy of No Return

The second best main Echo for Youhu, great for scaling her Energy Regen and ATK. ATK bonus is also applicable for the entire team, which makes her outro skill beneficial.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

A good alternative which also gives Youhu an Energy Regen bonus. Can grant the next Resonator an attack damage buff when Youhu performs her Outro Skill within 15 seconds after casting the Echo Skill.

Best Tips & Tricks for Youhu

It is highly recommended to immediately obtain Youhu's first Inherent Skill, as it unlocks extra healing after she casts her Resonance Skill and uses up an Antique.

Best Teams for Youhu

Youhu Coordinated Attack Team

Youhu only works best on teams that has members that utilize coordinated attacks. Put Youhu anywhere else and she will not perform as great because her Outro Skill will be underutilized.

This team makes use of Youhu's outro skill to amplify Zhezhi's Coordinated Attack DMG while also providing heals and attack buffs thanks to her skills and the bonuses from Rejuvenating Glow., 1. Begin the battle with the Youhu, and start generating pairs of Auspices for special effects in battles. It is important to get four antiques to maximize the effects obtained before swapping out. The goal is to get atleast three, with the final one chosen using her Resonance Liberation., 2. After Youhu's Resonance Liberation to choose the final antique, swap to Zhezhi with full Concerto Energy to trigger an Intro Skill, providing increased Coordinated Attack DMG., 3. Utilize Zhezhi's optimal combo to quickly max out her Forte Gauge, then use her Resonance Skill. Follow this with a Basic Attack to summon Phantasmic Imprints, then use her Resonance Skill thrice more., 4. Max out Concerto Energy, and activate Zhezhi's Resonance Liberation if it is available. Then swap to Jinhsi to get Zhezhi's Outro Skill buff and trigger an Intro Skill., 5. Use Jinhsi's Overflowing Radiance Resonance Skill upon entry, followed by another regular Resonance Skill activation. Generate enough Incandescence with these skills and Basic Attacks to enter the Incarnation state., 6. While Incarnation is active, execute Jinhsi's Basic Attack combo until Basic Attack 4, and use her Resonance Skill: Illuminous Epiphany to gain Unison., 7. Swap back to the Zhezhi, consuming Unison while giving Zhezhi another opportunity for her optimal combo. Swap back to Jinhsi so another combo., 8. Finally, switch to Youhu and repeat until all enemies have been defeated.

Zhezhi Double DPS Team

This team features Zhezhi and Sanhua as the main DPS duo of this team. Zhezhi can buff Sanhua's Glacio DMG and the damage of her Ice explosions with her Outro Skill while Sanhua can also buff Zhezhi's Basic Attack DMG. This symbiotic relationship is what makes this team special., 1. Begin the battle with the Youhu, and start generating pairs of Auspices for special effects in battles. It is important to get four antiques to maximize the effects obtained before swapping out. The goal is to get atleast three, with the final one chosen using her Resonance Liberation., 2. Switch to Zhezhi, making sure to do her optimal combo then culminating into her Resonance Liberation. With Youhu's Coordinated Attack Amplification, Zhezhi's coordinated attacks should be able to deal massive damage., 3. Switch to Sanhua and do her full combo, maximizing Ice Structure damage. Make sure to fill up her Concerto Energy first before switching to Zhezhi. Sanhua will be able to utilize Zhezhi's coordinated attacks that are buffed with Youhu's outro skill., 4. Once Sanhua's concerto energy is full, swap back to the Youhu so she can perform a free Lucky Draw., 5. Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
