Best Echo Sets for Yuanwu
Best (5‑pc). Bolsters Yuanwu's Coordinated Attack DMG and overall Electro damage when using his Thunder Wedge. Nightmare: Tempest Mephis synergizes to further boost Electro DMG Bonus and Resonance Skill DMG.
2nd best (5‑pc). More support-oriented: Outro Skill buffs the incoming character's ATK and Bell-Borne Geochelone increases DEF and provides shields — good for a supportive Yuanwu Sub-DPS.
Damage alternative (5‑pc). Increases Yuanwu's Electro DMG after Heavy Attack or Skill, maximizing raw damage. Use Nightmare: Tempest Mephis if possible; normal Tempest Mephis is acceptable but favors a damage build.
Yuanwu's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Tempest Mephis
Best main echo for Empyrean Anthem and Void Thunder setups. Boosts Yuanwu's Electro DMG Bonus and Resonance Skill DMG. Use the nightmare version if available; the normal version can be used for Void Thunder but locks you into a damage-oriented playstyle.
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Provides shields and team protection, increases DEF and damage mitigation — good when running Yuanwu as a Sub-DPS/support and pairing with Moonlit Clouds.
