Best Echo Sets for Brant
5-piece Tidebreaking Courage suits Brant perfectly because it grants the attribute DMG bonus when Brant reaches 250% Energy Regen (which he should be building with Unflickering Valor). All other stats from this set benefit Brant directly.
Alternative option if you cannot meet Tidebreaking Courage's ER requirement. More forgiving and useful when you don't have Unflickering Valor.
Good situational option if you have another main DPS. Gives Energy Regen and improves outro buffs for the next resonator.
