Phrolova, a Fractsidus Overseer walking the fine line between life and death, an uncanny, deadly conductor.<br/>A silent wave of her baton is enough to attune the very frequencies of being and conduct the symphonies of "souls." The music of hers can sculpt a better world or, just as easily, summon a legion to wreak havoc.

Best Echo Sets for Phrolova

Dream of the Lost
2pc
Dream of the Lost
Havoc Eclipse
2pc
Havoc Eclipse

Best. Dream of the Lost 3pc gives unconditional Crit Rate + Echo Skill DMG, which fits Phrolova perfectly. Pair with a 2pc that gives Havoc DMG Bonus (Havoc Eclipse or Midnight Veil) for the extra Havoc DMG.

Dream of the Lost
2pc
Dream of the Lost
Lingering Tunes
2pc
Lingering Tunes

Second best. Lingering Tunes gives ATK, which is usable, but Havoc DMG bonus is typically more important for Phrolova, so use only if you lack Havoc DMG echoes.

Havoc Eclipse
5pc
Havoc Eclipse

Early-game option but inferior to Dream of the Lost 3pc composition. Replace with Dream of the Lost when possible.

Phrolova's Best Primary Echo

Nightmare: Hecate

Nightmare: Hecate

Best-in-slot. Increases both Resonance Skill DMG and Echo Skill DMG — the two stats Phrolova relies on most.

Nightmare: Crownless

Nightmare: Crownless

Good when using a full Havoc Eclipse 5pc; replace with Nightmare: Hecate after switching to Dream of the Lost 3pc composition.

Crownless

Crownless

Non-Nightmare early-game option; upgrade/replace once you reach higher-tier content (Rinascita/Fabricatorium).

Best Tips & Tricks for Phrolova

Use Dream of the Lost 3-pc for unconditional Crit Rate + Echo Skill DMG; pair with a 2-pc Havoc DMG set (Havoc Eclipse or Midnight Veil).
Aim for very high Crit (prioritize Crit DMG then Crit Rate) but avoid going over 100% Crit Rate — both Dream of the Lost and Lethean Elegy provide Crit Rate.
Lethean Elegy is her signature best-in-slot: grants Echo Skill DMG Amplification, Resonance Skill DMG and DEF ignore — hugely boosts Hecate/off-field damage.
Phrolova's Liberation (Waltz of Forsaken Depths) summons Hecate and is the core of her damage. Prioritize unlocking/leveling Liberation and then Normal Attack & Forte Circuit.
Follow the main stat cost pattern: 4-cost = Crit DMG or Crit Rate; two 3-costs = Havoc DMG; two 1-costs = ATK%.
If you lack Lethean Elegy, Stringmaster is the next best option (ATK + Resonance Skill DMG). Cosmic Ripples/Augment are viable alternatives for generalized ATK/regen benefits.

Best Teams for Phrolova

Phrolova Echo Skill DMG Team

Team centers on boosting Echo Skill DMG and triggering Hecate's off-field attacks with multiple Echo Skill casts. Qiuyuan is the premier buffer for Echo Skill teams (provides Crit DMG and Echo Skill DMG buffs). Cantarella provides frequent Echo Skill casts, coordinated attacks, Havoc DMG and Resonance Skill DMG amplification via her Outro. Phrolova scales off Echo Skill DMG for Hecate's attacks and also provides Heavy Attack DMG amplification via her Outro.

Start with Phrolova and generate Volatile Notes with her Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos., Once Volatile Notes reach 6, perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord, then activate Liberation to summon Hecate., Switch to Qiuyuan with Phrolova's Outro to amplify Heavy Attack DMG., On Qiuyuan, do two Basic Attacks to fill Forte, then cast his Echo Skill and Liberation., With Forte full, hold Heavy Attack to consume stacks for extra damage, then cast Resonance Skill and switch to Cantarella via Outro., On Cantarella, immediately cast Resonance Skill and Liberation to max Trance stacks, enter Mirage and use combos to Stagnate and heal., When Cantarella's Outro is available, switch to Phrolova to buff her Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG., Repeat the rotation to maximize Hecate's off-field attacks; prioritize Echo Skill casts to empower Hecate.

Echo Skill Havoc Team

This team maximizes the Havoc attribute and Echo Skill usage. You may use Midnight Veil as a 2-piece option for Phrolova (also grants Havoc DMG Bonus). Key interactions: Roccia's Outro buffs Cantarella; Cantarella's Outro amplifies Phrolova; Phrolova's Outro improves Roccia. All members can cast multiple Echo Skills to trigger Hecate frequently.

Start with Phrolova, quickly build Volatile Notes to six and cast Scarlet Coda when available., Enter Resolving Chord and activate Liberation to summon Hecate (Maestro state)., During Maestro, switch to Roccia via Phrolova's Outro to buff Roccia's Havoc and Heavy Attack DMG., Perform Roccia's rotations, maximize Imagination stacks, execute three Plunge Attacks to generate Concerto, cast Liberation for party ATK buff, then switch to Cantarella., On Cantarella, immediately cast Resonance Skill and Liberation to fill Trance stacks, enter Mirage and do combos to Stagnate enemies., When Cantarella's Outro is available, switch back to Phrolova to buff her Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG., Repeat the cycle; cast Echo Skills with Roccia and Cantarella when possible to empower Hecate's attacks.

Phrolova Hypercarry Team

Hypercarry setup focuses Phrolova as the main damage source supported by Cantarella's Echo Skill casts and Shorekeeper's buffs/healing. Shorekeeper is ideal for buffing and healing but can be replaced by other supports. Phrolova will lose some DPS if unable to trigger Hecate frequently — Cantarella helps maintain Echo Skill casts to mitigate this.

Start with Phrolova and build Volatile Notes via Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos., At six Volatile Notes, perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord and use Liberation to summon Hecate., When Hecate is summoned, switch to Shorekeeper as her Outro becomes available., With Shorekeeper on-field, perform optimal combos to fill Concerto quickly, activate Stellarealm and switch to Cantarella on Intro., On Cantarella, fill Trance stacks with Resonance Skill and Liberation, then use a Heavy Attack to enter Mirage., In Mirage, use Resonance Skill and Basic Attack combos to suspend enemies, then switch to Phrolova when her Intro is available., Repeat the rotation; subsequent rotations maximize Stellarealm detonations and Hecate's off-field damage.

Phrolova Double DPS Team

Double DPS leverages Phrolova's Heavy Attack DMG amplification to benefit an on-field Main DPS like Augusta. Phrolova acts as a powerful off-field/Sub-DPS that buffs Heavy Attack/Havoc/Resonance attributes. You may use Midnight Veil as a 2-piece option for Phrolova for Havoc DMG Bonus.

Start with Shorekeeper and perform internal rotations to build Resonance and Concerto gauges; activate Stellarealm then switch to Phrolova on Intro., Generate six Volatile Notes with Phrolova via Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill combos, then perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord., Use Liberation during Resolving Chord to summon Hecate, then switch to Augusta when Phrolova's Outro is available., On Augusta, perform Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, cast Echo Skill to deal Electro DMG, then use Resonance Skill and Liberation., Use Heavy Attacks to bring Ascendancy to 100, then cast Forte-enhanced Resonance Skill combo., When Forte Plunge is ready, hold Liberation and enter Sworn Allegiance (time stops for 7s); perform Sunborne slashes then cast Everbright Protector., Switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat the rotation until enemies are defeated.

Phrolova F2P Team

F2P-friendly setup trades some DPS for accessibility. Phrolova will deal off-field damage while another Havoc DPS (Danjin) handles on-field damage. Danjin is a strong 4-star choice but requires HP management; Buling offers healing, Resonance Skill DMG buffs, and periodic Electro Flare.

Start combat with Buling and generate a Thunder Over Mountain trigram via 4 Basic Attacks and a Heavy Attack., Cast Buling's Resonance Skill + Basic Attack, then another Heavy Attack to generate the Twin Thunders trigram., With both sequences ready, use Buling's empowered Liberation to inflict Electro Flare and Resonance Skill DMG boost; when Concerto is full, switch to Phrolova., With Phrolova, generate six Volatile Notes via Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos., At six Volatile Notes, hold Heavy Attack to perform Scarlet Coda and enter Resolving Chord; use Liberation to summon Hecate., Switch to Danjin via her Outro; use Danjin's on-field time to build Forte, cast Echo Skill to proc Hecate's attacks, and use Liberation., After Danjin's sequence, switch back to Buling and repeat the rotation., Throughout the rotation, cast Echo Skills whenever each Resonator is on-field to trigger Hecate's enhanced attacks.

Alternative Phrolova Teams

Phrolova can function in multiple team archetypes but loses effectiveness when Echo Skill casts are limited—Hecate's enhanced attacks will be triggered fewer times, reducing overall DPS. Choose sub-DPS/support based on which stats (Havoc, Resonance, Heavy Attack) you want to buff.

Sub-DPS (options)

Support (options)

Use Phrolova as off-field damage while pairing with sub-DPS that buff Resonance Skill or Havoc DMG., Pick a support that provides the buffs you lack (healing, Coordinated Attacks, Resonance/Havoc buffs) and optimize rotations to get at least a couple Echo Skill casts per rotation., Expect only limited Hecate triggers (often ~2 per rotation) in many alternative comps; plan rotations accordingly to minimize DPS loss.
