Best Echo Sets for Phoebe

Eternal Radiance
5pc
Eternal Radiance

★★★ - Best (DPS and Sub-DPS). Best-in-slot Sonata Effect for a Spectro unit that can trigger Spectro Frazzle. Maximize Phoebe's damage and Frazzle procs; pair with Capitaneus if possible.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

★★☆ - Strong Sub-DPS / team-support option. Funnels buffs to your main DPS; good early-game or while farming Eternal Radiance.

Celestial Light
5pc
Celestial Light

★★☆ - Good early-game DPS option if you lack Rinascita sets. Bolsters Spectro DMG and is easy to use until Eternal Radiance is available.

Phoebe's Best Primary Echo

Capitaneus

Capitaneus

Phoebe's best-in-slot Main Echo. Increases Spectro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG — ideal since much of her kit scales off Heavy Attacks. Hard to farm; use Data Modifiers to convert mains if needed.

Nightmare: Mourning Aix

Nightmare: Mourning Aix

Secondary choice that gives unconditional Spectro DMG Bonus and decent side Spectro DMG.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Great for Sub-DPS applications — provides buffs to the next Resonator and pairs well with Moonlit Clouds to buff a primary Spectro DPS.

Mourning Aix

Mourning Aix

Good if you haven't reached Rinascita; provides Spectro DMG boost gated behind transformation and boosts Resonance Liberation DMG.

Best Weapons for Phoebe

Best Tips & Tricks for Phoebe

Capitaneus is Phoebe's best Main Echo — increases Spectro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG. If you lack it, use Nightmare: Mourning Aix or convert non-Spectro Capitaneus mains via Data Modifiers.
Eternal Radiance (5-piece) is best-in-slot for both DPS and Sub-DPS because it enhances Spectro Frazzle damage application and amplification.
For Sub-DPS build, ensure Liberation is used during your rotation — aim for ~125%–130% Energy Regen from substats only to avoid sacrificing crit/attack stats.
If you need an early-game set, use Moonlit Clouds (Sub-DPS) or Celestial Light (DPS) while farming Eternal Radiance.
Prioritize Forte Circuit leveling first (it directly increases Enhanced Heavy Attack multipliers). Then level Resonance Skill, Resonance Liberation, Normal Attack, and Intro Skill last.
Luminous Hymn is the best weapon for Phoebe (boosts Basic and Heavy ATK when Spectro Frazzle is applied). 5★ alternatives like Stringmaster or Cosmic Ripples are good for stats; Ocean's Gift / Waltz in Masquerade are solid F2P options.

Best Teams for Phoebe

Confession Premium Sub-DPS Team

Echo set recommendations: Zani: Eternal Radiance (5‑pc), Phoebe: Eternal Radiance (5‑pc), Shorekeeper: Rejuvenating Glow (5‑pc). Phoebe is the premier Spectro Frazzle applicator for fast stacking—ideal as sub‑DPS to enable Zani's Liberation. Shorekeeper is the recommended healer/support but may be swapped for Verina or Baizhi when needed.

1) Begin the fight with Shorekeeper and cycle through her kit. Cast her Resonance Liberation and charge Concerto Energy before swapping out., 2) Swap to Phoebe (Confession mode) and stack Spectro Frazzle using two Heavy Attacks and her Resonance Liberation., 3) When Phoebe's Concerto Gauge is full, switch to Zani., 4) Enter with Zani's Intro Skill to gain Spectro DMG Bonus, do Basic Attacks and cast Resonance Skill to build Redundant Energy., 5) When Redundant Energy is full, cast the transformed Resonance Skill to enter Sunburst Mode (20% Spectro Frazzle DMG amp)., 6) Cast Resonance Liberation to enter Inferno Mode., 7) In Inferno Mode, perform two Heavy Slash combos to deplete Blaze stacks (each stack increases damage multipliers)., 8) After Blaze stacks are depleted, cast Zani's second Liberation to deal major damage., 9) Swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellarealm. Repeat rotation until enemies are defeated.

Absolution DPS Frazzle Team

Echo set recommendations: Phoebe: Eternal Radiance (5‑pc), Rover: Moonlit Clouds (5‑pc), Shorekeeper: Rejuvenating Glow (5‑pc). Important: Phoebe must run in Absolution state to be the DPS—she cannot apply Frazzle stacks on her own outside Absolution except via specific Heavy Attacks, so a dedicated Frazzle applicator (Rover or Ciaccona) is essential. This team can take advantage of Kumokiri's 24% All‑Type DMG if Frazzle is applied appropriately.

1) Start with Shorekeeper, cycle her kit and end with Resonance Liberation to summon the Stellarealm., 2) When Concerto Gauge is maxed, switch to Rover (Spectro) to use their Intro Skill and upgrade the Stellarealm., 3) Use Rover combos to refill the Concerto Gauge and apply Spectro Frazzle. Swap to Phoebe when her icon glows., 4) After Phoebe's Intro Skill upgrades the Stellarealm to final level, open with her Resonance Skill and Echo Skill to set up., 5) Enter Absolution mode by holding Normal Attack, then use Resonance Liberation if available., 6) In Absolution, chain Basic Attacks and use Heavy Attack: Starflash until Forte Gauge depletes., 7) Track decaying Frazzle stacks—if stacks fall off, quickswap to Rover to reapply before continuing Phoebe's combo., 8) When Concerto Gauge is charged, swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellarealm. Repeat rotation.
