Best Echo Sets for Iuno

Crown of Valor
2pc
Crown of Valor
Sierra Gale
2pc
Sierra Gale

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.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

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

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

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.

Best Tips & Tricks for Iuno

Iuno can consistently reach Crown of Valor stack requirements because many parts of her kit grant shields — use this to maximize ATK and CRIT DMG via the set.
Use Moongazer's Sigil as best-in-slot for its crit and Liberation DMG bonus + DEF ignore synergy with Iuno's playstyle.
For 3-cost echoes: prioritize a double Aero DMG Bonus piece; replacing one 3-cost with ATK% is possible but slightly weaker.
Substats: double CRIT roll on echoes first, then Resonance Liberation DMG. Also secure at least ~120% Energy Regen from substats to ensure reliable Liberation uptime.
Stat targets: Crit Rate ~70-80%, Crit DMG 250%+, Energy Regen 120-125%.
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc) is a solid early/mid-game alternative if you lack Sanguis Plateaus echoes, but switch to Crown of Valor when available.
Forte upgrade order: <b>Forte Circuit</b> first, then Resonance Liberation and Resonance Skill; Normal Attack and Intro Skill last.

Best Teams for Iuno

Augusta Heavy Electro Team

Recommended echo sets: Crown of Valor (3-piece) on Augusta and Iuno, Void Thunder (2-piece) on Augusta, Sierra Gale (2-piece) on Iuno, Rejuvenating Glow (5-piece) on Shorekeeper. You may substitute Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage in place of Sierra Gale (they provide the same Aero DMG increase); choose based on which set you have more echoes of. Iuno excels in Heavy Attack-centric teams and synergizes strongly with Augusta via her Outro (Heavy Attack DMG amplification). Shorekeeper is chosen for Crit/ATK buffs and the safety net of Resonator utility.

Initiate combat with Shorekeeper and use her internal rotations to generate Resonance and Concerto Energy. Use her Liberation to activate Stellarealm and switch to Iuno once her Intro is available., When Iuno enters via her Intro, immediately use her Resonance Skill to activate the Lunar Cycle, then jump to enter New Moon State and cast Liberation., During New Moon, do three Basic Attacks and two instances of her Resonance Skill to deplete Forte energy, then do a Heavy Attack to generate Full Moon Domain and switch to Augusta when her Intro is ready., As Augusta enters, immediately perform Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks then cast Echo Skill for additional damage., Perform Augusta's Resonance Skill and Liberation (Tap), followed by another Heavy Attack combo to fill Ascendancy. Once full, execute her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo., After the plunging attack, hold Liberation to enter Sworn Allegiance (pauses time ~7s). During this window, deal 9 Sunborne slashes then cast Everbright Protector., Do one more Heavy Attack combo (HA + BA2-4) before switching to Shorekeeper when her Intro is ready to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat the rotation until enemies are defeated.

Iuno Tune Break Main DPS Team

Lynae significantly boosts Iuno as a Resonator by providing All DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG buffs via her Liberation and Outro; she also contributes strong sub-DPS. Shorekeeper is the recommended healer/support for consistent team-wide DMG buffs and sustain, though you can opt for Ciaccona for a more damage-oriented composition if you accept reduced sustain.

Start with Shorekeeper and build Concerto and Resonance Energy via her optimal combos. Cast her Liberation to generate Stellarealm then switch to Lynae via Outro., As Lynae, cast her Resonance Skill to reach max Overflow stacks, then use Liberation for damage and a team-wide buff, followed by a Basic Attack., With Overflow full, do a Heavy Attack and charge for ~1.6s to convert to Lumiflow, entering Kaleidoscopic Parade state., In Kaleidoscopic Parade, jump 3 times to perform Polychrome Leaps and generate True Color stacks., With three True Color stacks, do a Mid-Air Attack to cast an enhanced attack, then switch to Iuno via Outro., When Iuno enters via Intro, immediately cast Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle, then jump to enter New Moon state., In New Moon, use one Enhanced Skill to consume Sentience, then cast Liberation to generate more., After Liberation, do three Basic Attacks into one Enhanced Skill, then use three more Basic Attacks to finish remaining Sentience., Once Iuno's Concerto is full, switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat the sequence until enemies are defeated.

Iuno Aero Main DPS Team

Recommended echo/gear sets: Crown of Valor (3-piece) + Sierra Gale (2-piece) on Iuno, Gusts of Welkin (5-piece) on Ciaccona, Rejuvenating Glow (5-piece) on Rover. You can substitute Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage for Sierra Gale (they provide the same Aero DMG increase). Aero Rover provides healing and Aero DMG buffs and procs Rejuvenating Glow bonuses; Ciaccona offers additional Aero DMG and Welkin synergy. Adjust support choice (Shorekeeper/Verina/Buling) based on whether you prioritize sustain, faster rotations, or off-field application.

Initiate combat with Aero Rover and use their internal rotations to generate Resonance and Concerto Energy. When their Outro is ready, switch to Ciaccona., On-field with Ciaccona, build Erosion stacks and Musical Essence via her rotations; aim for a Solo Concert to boost Aero DMG., When Forte is full, do a Heavy Attack to pull enemies, then Liberation to apply off-field Erosion stacks and trigger Gusts of Welkin effects, then switch to Iuno. (If using Woodland Aria, its effect can reduce enemy Aero RES during Iuno's turn.), When Iuno enters via Intro, immediately cast Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle and jump to enter New Moon state., In New Moon, use one Enhanced Skill to consume some Sentience, then Liberation to generate more., After Liberation, do three Basic Attacks into an Enhanced Skill, then use three more Basic Attacks. When Concerto is full, switch back to Aero Rover to detonate effects., Repeat until enemies are defeated.
