Best Echo Sets for Hsin
Hsin's best set is the 5-pc Heart of Sworn Vigil, as it's tailor-made for her dual Resonance Modes of Electro Flare and Unison. Both modes will maximize the effects, giving her extra Crit. Rate and Electro DMG Bonus. The Main Echo also gives extra Electro DMG Bonus to Hsin for either mode, making this the best build for her.
The 5-pc Flash of Electric Reflection set can be used as an alternative for Hsin in her Electro Flare mode, as it boosts both her Electro DMG and the next Resonator. However, she is primarily a DPS with buffing capabilities, so the Heart of Sworn Vigil is still much more ideal.
