Best Echo Sets for Youhu
Best set for Youhu — increases ATK which boosts her healing and overall performance. Pairing with Bell-Borne adds shielding and survivability. Fallacy is an alternative but less comfortable vs. some enemies.
Good when Youhu's role is Glacio Sub-DPS: faster cast times on Resonance Liberation and stronger follow-up Resonator damage when using Outro Skill.
Starter offensive option to leverage more of Youhu's damage while maintaining some healing. Long-term swap suggestions: replace Lingering Tunes with Freezing Frost or Moonlit Clouds with Rejuvenating Glow depending on healer vs DPS preference.
Youhu's Best Primary Echo
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Best main echo for Youhu: deals Glacio DMG and can shield Youhu and allies. Can have Moonlit Clouds or Rejuvenating Glow sonata effects, making it economical to farm. Swap sonata based on role: Moonlit Clouds for Sub-DPS, Rejuvenating Glow for Support.
Fallacy of No Return
Second best main echo: scales Energy Regen and ATK. Its ATK bonus can benefit the whole team, synergizing with Youhu's Outro Skill.
Impermanence Heron
Good alternative that grants Energy Regen. Can give the next Resonator an attack buff when Youhu performs her Outro Skill within 15s after casting the Echo Skill.

Best Teams for Youhu
Youhu Coordinated Attack Team
This team uses Youhu's Outro Skill to amplify Zhezhi's Coordinated Attack DMG while also providing heals and attack buffs from Rejuvenating Glow. Place Youhu on a team with members that utilize Coordinated Attacks for best results., 1) Start the battle on Youhu and begin generating pairs of Auspices. Aim to obtain four antiques to maximize effects; the goal is at least three, with the final one selected via her Resonance Liberation., 2) After Youhu's Resonance Liberation selects the final antique, swap to Zhezhi with full Concerto Energy to trigger an Intro Skill that increases Coordinated Attack DMG., 3) Perform Zhezhi's optimal combo to quickly fill her Forte Gauge, use her Resonance Skill, then Basic Attack to summon Phantasmic Imprints. Use her Resonance Skill three more times as described., 4) Fill Concerto Energy and use Zhezhi's Resonance Liberation if available. Swap to Jinhsi to receive Zhezhi's Outro Skill buff and trigger an Intro Skill., 5) On Jinhsi's entry, use Overflowing Radiance Resonance Skill then another Resonance Skill.

Youhu buffs Zhezhi's Coordinated Attacks; these buffed coordinated attacks can proc while Sanhua is on-field., 1) Start on Youhu and generate pairs of Auspices; aim to get four antiques (at least three) and select the final one with Resonance Liberation., 2) Switch to Zhezhi, perform her optimal combo and finish with Resonance Liberation. With Youhu's Coordinated Attack amplification, Zhezhi's coordinated attacks will deal significantly increased damage., 3) Swap to Sanhua and perform her full combo, maximizing Ice Structure damage.
