Wuthering Waves Iuno Build Guide
She is favored by fate under one name, and swept away by it in another. Yet never once has she been defeated, nor has she ever yielded.<br/>Now, witness the defiant Priestess. Witness what keeps her striding forward, never to look back. Witness how she walks the intricate web of destiny and becomes the only answer.
Best Echo Sets for Iuno
Best: Crown of Valor (3-pc) + Sierra Gale (2-pc). Iuno can self-provide shields to easily stack Valor set requirements, maximizing her damage while also buffing the Main DPS.
Second best: 5-pc Moonlit Clouds funnels buffs to the incoming Resonator. Useful early- to mid-game, but reduces Iuno's personal damage compared to Crown of Valor.
Iuno's Best Primary Echo
Lady of the Sea
Best main Echo: provides Aero and Resonance Liberation DMG bonuses, belongs to Crown of Valor set, and its Echo Skill offers strong crowd control. Synergizes with Iuno's self-shields to reach Valor stacks.
Impermanence Heron
Alternative main Echo for a Moonlit Clouds set. Funnels buffs to the next incoming Resonator (good early-game or if you lack Sanguis Plateaus echoes), but lowers Iuno's personal damage.
