Best Echo Sets for Changli
Best set for Changli. Directly increases Fusion DMG and scales further after using Resonance Skill, synergizing perfectly with her kit.
Good when slotting Changli as Sub-DPS for buffs, but generally inferior to Molten Rift if you want her for raw damage.
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
Best main echo. Passively increases Fusion DMG and Resonance Skill DMG and is convenient for the main slot.
Inferno Rider
Best early-game main echo if you lack Rinascita; provides higher damage but requires including the Echo Skill in rotations.
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).
