Echoes ranked by abilities and gameplay impact.

Impermanence HeronImpermanence Heron

• Increases Resonance Energy of the equipping character and the ATK of the next character taking the field.
• The skill itself deals 300%+ total Havoc DMG.
• Still the best in slot for any Sub-DPS running Moonlit Clouds. The nightmare version of this echo only has the Midnight Veil sonata effect which is a bit more inclined for Havoc Sub-DPS's.

Fallacy of No ReturnFallacy of No Return

• The best Rejuvenating Glow echo for the best HP-scaling supports in the game.
• Works with Shorekeeper, the best healer in the game right now.
• Can charge Concerto Energy extremely fast by holding the echo button. Resonators can still act while Fallacy is delivering a flurry of punches.

HecateHecate

• The best echo for Sub-DPS that does coordinated attack.
• ATK increase for the current resonator as long as the coordinated attacks deal critical hits.
• Echo effect summons blades that also works off-field.

Nightmare: Tempest MephisNightmare: Tempest Mephis

• One of the two best echo for Electro DPS.
• See if your Resonator scales off Resonance Skill or Resonance Liberation. If Resonance Skill, use Tempest Mephis.
• Also has access to Empyrean Anthem sonata effects, so this echo could also work with coordinated attack Sub-DPS characters.

Nightmare: Thundering MephisNightmare: Thundering Mephis

• One of the two best echo for Electro DPS.
• See if your Resonator scales off Resonance Skill or Resonance Liberation. If Resonance Liberation, use Thundering Mephis.

Nightmare: Lampylumen MyriadNightmare: Lampylumen Myriad
