Best Echo Sets for Aalto

A mix of Moonlit Clouds and Sierra Gale is also a good choice since Aalto deals Aero DMG and also needs some Energy Recharge for less Ultimate downtime.

Best Teams for Aalto

Aalto Aero DMG Team

Team focuses on amplifying Jiyan's Aero damage via Aalto's Outro Skill and Shorekeeper's buffs. Recommended Echo sets: Jiyan - Sierra Gale (5pc); Aalto - Moonlit Clouds (5pc); Shorekeeper - Rejuvenating Glow (5pc).

With the Shorekeeper, use her Basic Attacks and Skill to summon Butterflies and charge her Resonance Liberation., Once it is available, activate Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation. Swap out to Aalto once Concerto Energy is maxed out., Use Aalto's rotations to deal damage and charge Concerto Energy. If his Resonance Liberation is available, use it for more damage., Swap to Jiyan once Aalto has fully charged Concerto Energy, to grant the former an Aero Damage buff., Activate Jiyan's Resonance Liberation when he's on-field, and use Qingloong Mode with Aalto and Shorekeeper's buffs to deal massive Aero damage., Once Jiyan is done with his rotation, ensure that Concerto Energy is maxed out before switching the Shorekeeper back in to detonate her Resonance Liberation field., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Aero Erosion Team

Aalto provides Aero DMG amplification for the team. Moonlit Clouds is still recommended for Aalto for its energy regen and the Impermanence Heron damage even though Cartethyia does not scale off ATK. This composition requires actively building Erosion stacks as Cartethyia and weaving between Cartethyia and Fleurdelys during rotations.

Start with Aero Rover and build up their Windstring stacks by doing two rotations of Cloud Burst Dance. Once available, cast Resonance Liberation immediately to fill their Concerto Gauge., Next, cast transformed skill Unbound Flow and immediately switch to Aalto. With Rover's Outro skill, the max Aero Erosion stacks will increase to 6., With Aalto on-field, immediately cast Resonance Liberation to increase ATK through his gate., Perform multiple Mist Dashes to build up his Concerto Energy while dealing damage. Once full, activate his Echo skill and transform into Impermanence Heron., After the initial Echo attack hits, switch immediately to Cartethyia. This will buff Cartethyia's damage dealt, while her Aero DMG will be amplified by Aalto's Outro Skill., As Cartethyia enters the field, do her optimal combos to summon and absorb all three Sword Shadows. Then, transform into Fleurdelys using her Liberation when available., In the Manifest state, group and deal damage against enemies using her ideal internal rotations and build her Conviction stacks., Revert back to Cartethyia and reapply her Sword Shadow buffs and Aero Erosion onto enemies. Then, transform again to Fleurdelys at no energy cost and continue building Conviction stacks., Once 120 Conviction stacks are reached, cast her second Resonance Liberation to deal massive damage. Lastly, use her Outro Skill to amplify other team members' Aero DMG and switch to Rover (Aero). Repeat until enemies are defeated.
