Best Echo Sets for Changli

Molten Rift
5pc
Molten Rift

Best set for Changli. Directly increases Fusion DMG and scales further after using Resonance Skill, synergizing perfectly with her kit.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Good when slotting Changli as Sub-DPS for buffs, but generally inferior to Molten Rift if you want her for raw damage.

Molten Rift
2pc
Molten Rift
Lingering Tunes
2pc
Lingering Tunes

A decent early-game mixed 2-pc option. Works until you can target a 5-pc Molten Rift.

Changli's Best Primary Echo

Nightmare: Inferno Rider

Nightmare: Inferno Rider

Best main echo. Passively increases Fusion DMG and Resonance Skill DMG and is convenient for the main slot.

Inferno Rider

Inferno Rider

Best early-game main echo if you lack Rinascita; provides higher damage but requires including the Echo Skill in rotations.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Best when running Moonlit Clouds for a more supportive Sub-DPS role; increases damage of the next Resonator (works with Sub-DPS playstyle).

Best Tips & Tricks for Changli

Role: Main-DPS / Sub-DPS hybrid — typically best used as a Main DPS focused on Fusion DMG.
Primary stat focus: stack Fusion DMG on Cost-3 echoes and prioritize CRIT Rate (or CRIT DMG if you prefer) on Cost-4 echoes. Cost-1 should be ATK%.
Aim for two Cost-3 Fusion DMG echoes for maximum damage output.
If you own her signature weapon (Blazing Brilliance), prioritize CRIT Rate rolls; otherwise balance CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG.
Energy Regen: aim for at least 120% total Energy Regen so you can use Resonance Liberation reliably. If struggling, you may replace one Cost-3 echo with Energy Regen, but prefer getting it from substats.
Weapon choices: Blazing Brilliance is best-in-slot (synergizes with Resonance Skill DMG). Emerald of Genesis is the best standard 5-star alternative for its Energy Regen stat. Commando of Conviction is the recommended 4-star option.
Upgrade priority: Resonance Skill, Forte Circuit, and Resonance Liberation first (highest impact), then Normal Attack, then Intro.
Molten Rift 5-piece is the go-to echo set; Moonlit Clouds 5-piece is the secondary option if building Changli as Sub-DPS.

Best Teams for Changli

High Synergy Mono Fusion Team

Echo sets: Changli — Molten Rift (5pc); Brant — Tidebreaking Courage (5pc)* or Molten Rift (5pc); Lupa — Flaming Clawprint (5pc). * Tidebreaking Courage requires ~250% Energy Regen to reliably get the 5-piece bonus; otherwise use Molten Rift. Team synergy: Outro chain loops (Lupa boosts Brant's Basic ATK DMG → Brant buffs Changli's Resonance Skill DMG → Changli boosts Lupa's Resonance Liberation DMG). Brant provides sustain and damage; Lupa brings Fusion-focused buffs and quick-swap playstyle.

1) Start with Lupa and perform her optimal combos. Cast Liberation ASAP to activate Pack Hunt and Glory, then follow with Foebreaker., 2) Generate Wolflame and convert to Wolfaith using Heavy Attacks. When full, perform enhanced Resonance Skill and switch to Brant once his Concerto energy is full., 3) On Brant, do his rotation and activate Liberation immediately (this triggers Lupa's Coordinated Attack with Set the Arena Ablaze)., 4) Build Bravo stacks and cast Returned from Ashes when available, then switch to Changli once his Concerto energy is full (this enhances Lupa's Pack Hunt effects)., 5) With Changli on-field, gain one Forte stack from Intro, build to 4 stacks via Resonance Skill and Basic Attacks, then use her enhanced Heavy Attack., 6) Cast Changli's Resonance Liberation for a second enhanced Heavy Attack and switch to Lupa when Changli's Outro is available (amplifies Lupa's Fusion and Resonance Liberation DMG for ~10s)., 7) Lupa performs an enhanced Intro Skill for strong damage., 8) Repeat the cycle until enemies are defeated.

Changli Double DPS Team

Echo sets: Changli — Molten Rift (5pc); Brant — Tidebreaking Courage (5pc)* or Molten Rift (5pc); Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). * Tidebreaking Courage needs ~250% Energy Regen for the 5-piece bonus. Team focus: Changli + Brant complementary kits for team-wide buffs; Shorekeeper provides sustain and additional team damage buffs.

1) Open with Shorekeeper and use her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill to generate Flare Star/Dim Star Butterflies. Use Resonance Liberation ASAP before swapping., 2) Swap Brant in to charge his Liberation gauge (do not cast it during the swap). Aim to get max Bravo and fill Liberation so you can cast Returned From Ashes., 3) Once Concerto Energy is full, swap to Changli to cast Intro (gain Forte stack) and execute combos to reach 4 Forte stacks to enable enhanced Heavy Attack until Resonance Liberation is ready., 4) After Changli's Resonance Liberation, use her enhanced Heavy Attack. When Concerto Energy refills, swap to Brant to boost his Fusion DMG and Liberation DMG., 5) With Brant on-field, cast Resonance Liberation and do his quad-stage mid-air combos, ending Aflame with Returned From Ashes., 6) Swap to Shorekeeper with max Concerto Energy to detonate the Stellarealm via her Intro. Repeat cycle.

Changli Premium Main DPS Team

Echo sets: Changli — Molten Rift (5pc); Zhezhi — Empyrean Anthem (5pc); Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Team goal: Spam Changli's Resonance Liberation (gives 4 Forte instantly). Zhezhi boosts Changli's enhanced Heavy Attack (scales off Resonance Skill DMG). Shorekeeper provides healing plus Stellarealm/Outro damage buffs.

1) Open with Shorekeeper to charge her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy. Use Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation when available., 2) With Concerto Energy full, swap to Zhezhi and use her Intro to upgrade the Stellarealm and enhance its buffs., 3) Use Zhezhi's combos to summon 3 Phantasmic Imprints, charge her Liberation, and refill Concerto Energy., 4) Activate Zhezhi's Resonance Liberation, then swap to Changli with full Concerto Energy to receive Zhezhi's Outro and one Forte stack from Changli's Intro., 5) Run Changli's on-field rotation, max Forte, and use enhanced Heavy Attacks and Resonance Liberation whenever possible., 6) Refill Concerto Energy while on Changli, then swap to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellarealm for burst damage. Repeat.

Changli Free-To-Play (F2P) Double DPS Team

Echo sets: Changli — Molten Rift (5pc); Chixia — Molten Rift (5pc); Baizhi — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). If you lack Encore/Brant, Chixia is the next-best DPS. Aim to charge Changli's Forte quickly so Chixia can swap in to deal damage.

1) Start with Baizhi to charge Concerto Energy using her optimal combos., 2) When Concerto Energy is full, use Baizhi's Resonance Skill to drop Euphonia before swapping to Changli. Pick up Euphonia with Changli to boost her ATK., 3) Changli gains 1 Forte from Intro; execute combos to reach 4 Forte stacks and enable enhanced Heavy Attack until Resonance Liberation is ready., 4) Cast Changli's Resonance Liberation and use the enhanced Heavy Attack, then swap to Chixia if Concerto Energy is full (Changli's Outro boosts Chixia's Fusion & Liberation DMG)., 5) Repeat the rotation until enemies are defeated.
