Best Echo Sets for Iuno

Crown of Valor
2pc
Crown of Valor
Sierra Gale
2pc
Sierra Gale

Best — Crown of Valor is Iuno's best-in-slot because she can self-generate shields through her kit, allowing her to reach Valor stack requirements and maximize personal damage while buffing the team.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Second best — 5-piece Moonlit Clouds funnels more buffs to the next incoming Resonator. Good early-to-mid game; replace with Crown of Valor when available.

Iuno's Best Primary Echo

Lady of the Sea

Lady of the Sea

Best main Echo for Iuno — provides Aero and Resonance Liberation DMG Bonuses, belongs to Crown of Valor set, and its Echo Skill gives useful crowd control. Iuno can reach the required Valor stacks easily due to her shield generation.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Alternative — used for a Moonlit Clouds set to funnel buffs to the incoming Resonator. Sacrifices Iuno's personal damage but benefits team Resonators; good early-game option if Crown of Valor isn't available.

Best Tips & Tricks for Iuno

Prioritize upgrading Forte Circuit first, then Resonance Liberation and Resonance Skill. Upgrade Normal Attack and Intro Skill last.
Crown of Valor is best because Iuno self-generates shields (Inherent: Waxing Ascent), letting her reach Valor stacks and maximize personal damage.
Main Echo: Lady of the Sea — gives Aero and Liberation DMG bonuses and strong crowd control; use Impermanence Heron only if running Moonlit Clouds.
Weapon of choice: Moongazer's Sigil — excellent synergy (ATK + Crit benefits, Liberation DMG bonus, and DEF ignore). Verity's Handle is the best alternative for more Liberation DMG.
Echo tuning: use a 4-cost CRIT main, double Aero DMG 3-costs (or one ATK% 3-cost if needed), and double ATK% 1-costs. Prioritize double CRIT rolls and aim for at least 120% Energy Regen so Resonance Liberation is ready in rotation.
Sentience & Lunar Cycle notes: Iuno builds Sentience via Intro Skill/skills and consumes it in Lunar Cycle to amplify Moonbow/Arc effects. Absolute Fullness (when Concerto is full) provides healing and creates Full Moon Domain that buffs allies — factor this into rotation for team utility.

Best Teams for Iuno

Augusta Heavy Electro Team

Sets: Augusta uses Crown of Valor (3pc) + Void Thunder (2pc). Iuno uses Crown of Valor (3pc) + Sierra Gale (2pc). Shorekeeper uses Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). You may substitute Gusts of Welkin or Windward Pilgrimage in place of Sierra Gale since they provide the same Aero DMG increase; pick the set with more echoes you own. This composition is considered Iuno's best team because Iuno's Outro amplifies Heavy Attack damage and synergizes with Augusta's Wan Light shields. Shorekeeper chosen for Crit/ATK buffs and safety as a Resonator.

1. Start on Shorekeeper. Use her internal rotations to generate Resonance and Concerto Energy. Use her Liberation to activate Stellarealm, then switch when Iuno's Intro is available., 2. Enter with Iuno via her Intro. Use her Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle, then jump to enter New Moon state and cast Liberation immediately., 3. In New Moon state, perform three Basic Attacks and two Resonance Skill instances to deplete Forte, then do a Heavy Attack to generate Full Moon Domain. Switch to Augusta once her Intro is ready., 4. On Augusta entry, immediately perform Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, then cast Echo Skill for extra damage., 5. Use Augusta's Resonance Skill and Liberation (Tap) followed by another Heavy Attack combo to fill Ascendancy. When full, perform her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo., 6. After the plunging attack, hold Liberation to enter Sworn Allegiance (pauses time ~7s). During this window, deal 9 Sunborne slashes then cast Everbright Protector., 7. Do one more Heavy Attack combo (HA + BA2-4) for added damage, then switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm when her Intro is ready., 8. Repeat the cycle until enemies are defeated.

Iuno Main DPS Team

Sets: Iuno uses Crown of Valor (3pc) + Sierra Gale (2pc) or Gusts of Welkin / Windward Pilgrimage as alternatives (all give the same Aero DMG increase). Ciaccona benefits from Gusts of Welkin (5pc). Aero Rover uses Rejuvenating Glow (5pc). Role notes: Aero Rover is the dedicated Aero DMG/heal/support that also procs Rejuvenating Glow heals; Ciaccona provides off-field Aero DMG and set benefits to Iuno. Woodland Aria (weapon) can further reduce enemy Aero RES during Iuno's window if available.

1. Start on Aero Rover and use internal rotations to generate Resonance and Concerto Energy. When Rover's Outro is ready, switch to Ciaccona., 2. On Ciaccona, build Erosion stacks and Musical Essence with internal rotations. Make sure she performs a Solo Concert to boost team Aero DMG., 3. When Ciaccona's Forte is full, Heavy Attack to pull enemies, then use Liberation to apply off-field Erosion and trigger Gusts of Welkin effect. Switch out to Iuno., 4. Enter Iuno via Intro, immediately cast Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle, then jump to enter New Moon state., 5. In New Moon, use an Enhanced Skill to spend some Sentience, then Liberation to generate more Sentience., 6. After Liberation, do three Basic Attacks into one Enhanced Skill, then use remaining Sentience for three more Basic Attacks. When Iuno's Concerto is full, switch back to Aero Rover., 7. Repeat the rotation until fight completion.
