Best Echo Sets for Changli
Straightforward increase to Fusion DMG and additional damage after Resonance Skill usage, perfect fit for Changli's kit.
Option for Sub-DPS role but less recommended than Molten Rift due to focus on damage over buffs.
Early game mixed set good for starting out before obtaining 5-pc Molten Rift.
Changli's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Inferno Rider
Passively increases Changli's Fusion DMG and Resonance Skill DMG. Best main echo for Changli due to ease of use compared to Inferno Rider.
Inferno Rider
Best early game, especially without Rinascita. Provides more damage but requires inclusion of Echo Skill in rotations for the buff.
Impermanence Heron
Best with Moonlit Clouds set for a supportive Sub-DPS role, increasing damage of next Resonator.

Best Teams for Changli
High Synergy Mono Fusion Team
*Tidebreaking Courage only applies if you have ~250% Energy Regen to consistently get the 5-pc bonus — otherwise use Molten Rift.
Team overview: Changli, Brant and Lupa form a strong mono-Fusion loop: Lupa's Outro boosts Brant's Basic Attack DMG → Brant's Outro buffs Changli's Resonance Skill DMG → Changli's Outro increases Lupa's Resonance Liberation DMG. Brant provides sustain and strong on-field damage while Lupa supplies Fusion-centric buffs and quick-swap synergy, giving high damage ceiling.
1. Initiate with Lupa and do her optimal combos. Cast her Liberation as soon as possible to activate Pack Hunt and Glory, and follow it up with Foebreaker., 2. Generate Wolflame and convert them into Wolfaith using Heavy Attacks. Once full, perform her enhanced Resonance Skill and switch out to Brant once her Concerto Energy is full., 3. Having Brant on-field, do his optimal rotations and activate Liberation immediately. This will also have Lupa do a Coordinated Attack with Set the Arena Ablaze., 4. Quickly build Bravo stacks and cast Returned from Ashes when available. Then, switch to Changli once his Concerto energy is full. This will also enhance Lupa's Pack Hunt effects., 5. With Changli's Intro Skill, you will immediately gain one Forte stack. Continue building her Forte stacks to 4 via her Resonance Skill and Basic Attacks. Then, activate her enhanced Heavy Attack., 6. Cast her Resonance Liberation to do a second enhanced Heavy Attack and switch out to Lupa once Changli's Outro is available. This will amplify Lupa's Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG by 10s., 7. Lastly, Lupa will perform an enhanced Intro Skill that will deal good damage to enemies., 8. From here, repeat the previous steps until all enemies are defeated.
Changli Double DPS Team
*Tidebreaking Courage requires ~250% Energy Regen for consistent 5-pc uptime.
Team overview: This versatile double-DPS comp leverages Changli and Brant's complementary kits and Intro/Outro interactions. Shorekeeper supplies sustain and team-wide buffs (Stellarealm detonation) to amplify both DPS units.
1. Open with Shorekeeper, and use her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill to generate Flare Star and Dim Star Butterflies. Use her Resonance Liberation as soon as possible before swapping., 2. Swap in Brant to gain enough Resonance Liberation energy but do not cast it yet during this swap. Aim to fill his Liberation gauge and obtain max Bravo points to cast Returned From Ashes., 3. Once Concerto Energy is full, swap to Changli to cast her Intro Skill and immediately gain a stack of Forte. Execute Changli's combos to get 4 Forte stacks and enable her enhanced Heavy Attack. Continue until her Resonance Liberation is ready., 4. After casting Changli's Resonance Liberation, use her enhanced Heavy Attack. When Concerto Energy refills, ideally switch to Brant to boost his Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG., 5. On Brant, quickly cast his Resonance Liberation and do his quad-stage mid-air combos. End his Aflame state with Returned From Ashes., 6. Swap to Shorekeeper with maximum Concerto Energy to detonate the Stellarealm with her Intro Skill. Repeat the cycle.
Changli Premium Main DPS Team
Team overview: This premium composition centers on making Changli the primary heavy hitter by enabling frequent Resonance Liberations (each gives 4 Forte stacks). Zhezhi is preferred as Sub-DPS because she buffs Changli's enhanced Heavy Attack (which scales off Resonance Skill DMG) and can contribute coordinated attacks; Shorekeeper provides healing, Stellarealm detonation and Outro buffs to further increase Changli's damage.
1. Open with Shorekeeper to start charging her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy. Use her Resonance Liberation as soon as available., 2. When Concerto Energy is full, switch to Zhezhi and cast her Intro Skill to upgrade the Stellarealm to stage two and enhance its buffs., 3. Use Zhezhi's optimal combo to summon 3 Phantasmic Imprints, then charge her Resonance Liberation and refill Concerto Energy., 4. Activate Zhezhi's Resonance Liberation, then swap to Changli with full Concerto Energy to receive Zhezhi's Outro and one Forte stack from Changli's Intro., 5. Rotate through Changli's on-field combos to max Forte and use Enhanced Heavy Attacks and Resonance Liberation whenever possible., 6. Refill Concerto Energy while on Changli, then swap to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellarealm for burst damage. Repeat the cycle.
Changli Free-To-Play (F2P) Double DPS Team
Team overview: F2P-friendly double-DPS comp if you lack premium DPS like Encore or Brant. Chixia functions as the second on-field DPS while Baizhi provides sustain and team buffs. If you lack Chixia, Yangyang is a good substitute to funnel energy to Changli and keep her Resonance Liberation frequent.
1. Start the battle with Baizhi and charge Concerto Energy using her optimal combos., 2. Once Concerto Energy is full, use Baizhi's Resonance Skill to drop Euphonia before swapping to Changli. When Changli is on-field, pick up Euphonia to boost her ATK., 3. Changli immediately gains 1 Forte stack from her Intro. Execute her combos to reach 4 Forte stacks and enable her enhanced Heavy Attack; continue until Resonance Liberation is ready., 4. Cast Changli's Resonance Liberation and use her enhanced Heavy Attack. If Concerto Energy is full, swap to Chixia—Changli's Outro will boost Chixia's Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG., 5. Repeat the cycle until the enemy is defeated.
