Best Echo Sets for Ciaccona
Best-in-slot (5-piece). Provides party-wide Aero DMG increase for 20s, perfect for sub-DPS Ciaccona in Aero teams. With Fleurdelys as the main Echo, her on-field and off-field damage are both boosted.
Secondary option. Grants ATK buffs to the next Resonator and energy regen for Ciaccona, helping Resonance Liberation uptime. Use when building Ciaccona as a Spectro Frazzle applicator to buff your main DPS.
Decent early-game hybrid option. This 2-pc combination mainly buffs Ciaccona herself rather than the whole party, reducing her ideal sub-DPS potential but usable if 5-piece sets aren't available.
Ciaccona's Best Primary Echo
Reminiscence: Fleurdelys
Best-in-slot. Only 4-cost Fleurdelys in Gusts of Welkin; provides Aero DMG Bonus and contributes repeated Aero DMG ticks—ideal for Ciaccona's sub-DPS role.
Impermanence Heron
Good choice when running Moonlit Clouds; increases damage dealt by the next Resonator after switching out (synergizes with Moonlit Clouds playstyle).
Nightmare: Feilian Beringal
Viable when using a 2-piece Gusts of Welkin + Sierra Gale configuration; provides Aero DMG Bonus and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus—better than Fleurdelys in this specific 2-piece hybrid setup.
