Best Echo Sets for Galbrena

Flamewing's Shadow
2pc
Flamewing's Shadow
Flaming Clawprint
2pc
Flaming Clawprint

Best-in-slot. Galbrena scales primarily off Echo Skill DMG and Heavy Attack DMG; this 3pc+2pc combination maximizes those stats and pairs perfectly with Corrosaurus.

Molten Rift
5pc
Molten Rift

Second-best. Easy-to-activate Fusion DMG buffs and farmable early; Nightmare: Inferno Rider is the recommended main echo for this set.

Law of Harmony
2pc
Law of Harmony
Flaming Clawprint
2pc
Flaming Clawprint

Viable but inferior due to shorter uptime; more suited for sub-DPS roles. Still usable if you lack better sets.

Galbrena's Best Primary Echo

Corrosaurus

Corrosaurus

Best main echo for Galbrena. Provides both Fusion DMG and Echo Skill DMG bonuses that she scales from; summon-type echo that synergizes with Flamewing's Shadow / Flaming Clawprint.

Best Tips & Tricks for Galbrena

Aim for ~75:250 crit ratio (Crit Rate ~70–80%, Crit DMG >250%). Prioritize meeting the Crit Rate requirement first; a 4-cost Crit Rate main is recommended.
Use Flamewing's Shadow (3pc) + Flaming Clawprint (2pc) with Corrosaurus as best-in-slot.
If Flamewing's Shadow isn't available, Molten Rift (5pc) is the best farmable alternative (use Nightmare: Inferno Rider).
Prioritize leveling Forte Circuit (highest DPS gain), then Resonance Liberation, then Normal Attack; Resonance Skill and Intro Skill last.
Target ~2100+ ATK and ~120% Energy Regen to comfortably run her rotation and apply Demon Hypostasis reliably.
Lux & Umbra is her signature best weapon — it greatly increases sustained DPS. The Last Dance and Static Mist are top alternatives; Solar Flame is a solid 4-star option.

Echo Skill Team

Recommended sets: Galbrena — Flamewing's Shadow (3pc) + Flaming Clawprint (2pc). Qiuyuan — Law of Harmony (3pc) + Moonlit Clouds (2pc). Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5pc).
