Best Echo Sets for Carlotta

Frosty Resolve
5pc
Frosty Resolve

Best-in-slot: maximizes Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG which Carlotta's kit revolves around. Paired with Sentry Construct for optimal scaling.

Frosty Resolve
2pc
Frosty Resolve
Lingering Tunes
2pc
Lingering Tunes

Second-best when you can't complete the full 5-pc Frosty Resolve. Still effective, but full 5-pc is preferred.

Freezing Frost
5pc
Freezing Frost

Good early-game alternative that directly boosts Glacio DMG. Useful if you lack Frosty Resolve pieces; Lampylumen Myriad pairs well here.

Carlotta's Best Primary Echo

Sentry Construct

Sentry Construct

Definitive best-in-slot main echo. Boosts both Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG and grants the Frosty Resolve sonata effect which is Carlotta's best sonata.

Lampylumen Myriad

Lampylumen Myriad

Strong early-game option (pre-Rinascita). Increases Resonance Skill and Glacio DMG but provides the Freezing Frost sonata effect instead of Frosty Resolve.

Best Tips & Tricks for Carlotta

Aim for ~120–125% Energy Regen so Carlotta can have Resonance Liberation up each rotation; Energy Regen is very important for consistent DPS.
If you cannot reach Energy Regen via substats, consider using a 3-cost Energy Regen echo as a last resort (damage will drop but Liberation uptime improves).
Prioritize Frosty Resolve (5-pc) + Sentry Construct for best scaling of Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG.
The Last Dance is signature best-in-slot: ATK +12% and grants up to +48% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus after Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation.
If you lack The Last Dance, use Static Mist (4★) for ATK% and Energy Regen; best 4★ alternatives are Thunderbolt and Undying Flame for Resonance Skill DMG boosts.
F2P best weapon: Guardian Pistols — grants ATK% and +12% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus, a solid option if you have no higher tier pistols.
Skill priority: max Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation first, then Forte Circuit, then Normal Attack; Intro Skill last.
Follow the 4-3-3-1-1 cost echo distribution (commonly written ④ ③ ③ ① ①) when building echoes for Carlotta.

Best Teams for Carlotta

Glacio Carry Premium Team

Echo sets: Carlotta — Frosty Resolve (5-pc); Zhezhi — Empyrean Anthem (5-pc); Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc). Team synergy: Zhezhi boosts Carlotta's Glacio & Resonance Skill DMG via her Outro Skill; Shorekeeper provides extra Crit DMG and Crit Rate via Stellarealm.

Carlotta starts the battle and uses two (2) instances of her Resonance Skill to partially charge her Forte Gauge. Her Skill has a lengthy cooldown, so it should be up by the time your supports are done with their combos., Switch to Shorekeeper and charge both her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy until both are ready. Use the former as soon as it is available., Once Concerto Energy is fully charged, switch to Zhezhi to activate an Intro Skill and upgrade the Stellarealm from Shorekeeper., As Zhezhi, use her optimal combo to charge her Forte Circuit gauge. Make sure to also charge her energy and execute her Resonance Liberation. Swap to Carlotta with full Concerto Energy for her to get the Resonance Skill & Glacio DMG buff from Zhezhi's Outro Skill., As Carlotta, make sure to execute her skill so it will be off cooldown after executing the rest of Carlotta's combos. By this time, her Forte Gauge should be full and you can use Heavy Attack for a big burst of damage., Finally, use her Resonance Liberation after the Forte Skill Enhanced Heavy Attack. Make sure to finish all the shots within 10 seconds after casting Resonance Liberation., If Carlotta's skill is off cooldown, use it again. While airborne, use the Echo skill. If neither of the two is possible, just make sure to have a full Concerto Gauge and switch back to Shorekeeper., Swap to Shorekeeper to proc her Intro Skill and detonate her Stellarealm. Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
