Best Echo Sets for Cantarella
Best 5-piece set for Cantarella as it deals Havoc DMG and boosts the next Resonator's Havoc DMG Bonus. Lorelei synergizes well by giving extra Havoc and Basic Attack DMG Bonus.
Great for Coordinated-Attack-focused teams; increases active Resonator ATK and Coordinated Attack DMG. Requires building higher Crit to be consistent.
Provides ATK increase for the next Resonator and interacts with Impermanence Heron. Viable early/stopgap option but outclassed by the first two sets.
Cantarella's Best Primary Echo
Lorelei
Passively increases Cantarella's Havoc DMG Bonus and Basic Attack DMG Bonus. Best-in-slot for general/Sub-DPS and Havoc-oriented builds.
Hecate
Significantly increases Coordinated Attack damage and works extremely well with Cantarella's Ultimate and coordinated-attack builds.
Impermanence Heron
Good option for maximizing Outro buffs for the next resonator; decent Sub-DPS echo choice if other mains unavailable.
