Explanation

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_inferno_ridernightmare_inferno_rider

• Extremely effective attacker when summoned in battle.
• ATK is increased for 15s after skill activation
• The skill deals up to 270% damage.
• Can be used in the overworld to traverse quickly.

nightmare_crownlessnightmare_crownless

• Deals a total of 270% damage everytime it is summoned.
• Skill can be charged up to three times, so you can use the echo skill multiple times.

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.

reminiscence_fleurdelysreminiscence_fleurdelys

• Primary Gusts of Welkin and Windward Pilgrimage 4-cost echo.
• Grants Aero DMG Bonus to the wearer with bonus 10% if worn by Aero Rover.
• Can also be used by Ciaccona as the definitive Aero Erosion enabler.
• Definitive echo set for the Erosion DPS, Cartethyia.
• Seems to provide a small window of time-slowing effect when used, enabling you to deal damage freely.

lady_of_the_sealady_of_the_sea

• Primary Aero Crown of Valor 4-cost echo.

nightmare_lampylumen_myriadnightmare_lampylumen_myriad

• Great for providing passive Glacio DMG Bonus and Coordinated Attack DMG buffs.

• Less useful than Hecate in most situations as not all resonators that deal Coordinated Attacks scale off Glacio DMG Bonus.

capitaneuscapitaneus

• The main echo for the two characters that uses Spectro Frazzle: Zani and Phoebe.
• The better option over Nightmare: Mourning Aix because it can also provide Heavy Attack DMG unconditionally.

nameless_explorernameless_explorer

• Has a great passive for Aero units that scale off Echo Skill DMG.
• Summon-type Echo, so it's easily weaved into combos.

• Deals Spectro DMG to enemies.
• Provides Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG just by equipping it as the main Echo.
• Has a unique interaction by having both Twin Nova Echoes.

nightmare_impermanence_heronnightmare_impermanence_heron

• Only 4-cost in Flaming Clawprint, so it is a bit valuable.
• Effect performs well with Lupa alone, but is a big waste on other units.
• Only farm if you are building Lupa!

• The best echo for those running the new Frosty Resolve sonata effect.
• Deals a lot of damage as an echo.
• Does not need to be summoned to provide echo bonuses.

• Slightly tailor-fitted to Augusta, since it gives both Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus
• The only 4-cost Echo in Crown of Valor, making it a high value option.
• This Echo is a transform-type Echo, so you will be using some time to deal damage with it.
• The stat bonus doesn't require Echo Skill activation, so you automatically get it once equipped.

• A flexible 3-cost Echo available for Electro users that revolve around Unison or Electro Flare.
• Grants an Electro DMG buff to the next Resonator, making it ideal for sub-DPS roles.
