Phrolova, a Fractsidus Overseer walking the fine line between life and death, an uncanny, deadly conductor.<br/>A silent wave of her baton is enough to attune the very frequencies of being and conduct the symphonies of "souls." The music of hers can sculpt a better world or, just as easily, summon a legion to wreak havoc.

Best-in-slot echo for Phrolova, increases Resonance Skill DMG and Echo Skill DMG, the core stats for her damage output.

Good alternative when using a 5-piece Havoc Eclipse set; best option within that set but generally suboptimal compared to Nightmare: Hecate.

Best Weapons for Phrolova

Best Tips & Tricks for Phrolova

Aim for as much Crit Rate as possible, but do not exceed 100% Crit Rate due to bonuses from both her signature weapon and Dream of the Lost set.
Use Dream of the Lost 3-piece with a 2-piece Havoc Eclipse for maximizing unconditional Crit Rate and Havoc DMG bonus.
Lethean Elegy is her signature and best in slot weapon, giving Echo Skill and Resonance Skill DMG amplifications and DEF ignore effect.
Use Normal Attacks to build Volatile Notes to enable Scarlet Coda for powerful damage and synergy with Maestro state.
Prioritize upgrading Resonance Liberation first, then Normal Attacks and Forte Circuit skills to maximize damage output.

Best Teams for Phrolova

Phrolova Echo Skill DMG Team

Team centered on boosting Echo Skill DMG and triggering Hecate's off-field attacks via multiple Echo Skill casts. Qiuyuan is the premier Echo Skill/buff provider (Crit DMG, Echo Skill DMG buffs via Liberation/Forte/Outro). Cantarella provides multiple Echo Skills on-field, coordinated attacks and gives Havoc DMG and Resonance Skill DMG amplification via Outro. Phrolova's Hecate scales with Echo Skill DMG and gains Heavy Attack DMG amplification via her Outro.

Start with Phrolova and generate Volatile Notes with her Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos until you have 6., Perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord, then activate Phrolova's Liberation to summon Hecate., Switch to Qiuyuan with Phrolova's Outro to amplify his Heavy Attacks; build his Forte with two Basic Attacks, then cast his Echo Skill and Liberation., With Forte full, hold Heavy Attack to consume stacks for extra damage, cast his Resonance Skill, then switch to Cantarella via Outro., On entry, immediately cast Cantarella's Resonance Skill and Liberation to fill Trance stacks, then enter Mirage and use combos to Stagnate and heal., When Cantarella's Outro is ready, switch back to Phrolova to buff her Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG, and repeat the rotation to maximize Hecate off-field attacks.

Echo Skill Havoc Team

Team emphasizes maximizing Havoc attribute while using many Echo Skills. Roccia's Outro buffs Cantarella; Cantarella's Outro buffs Phrolova; Phrolova's Outro buffs Roccia. You may use Midnight Veil as a 2-piece option for Phrolova as an alternative Havoc DMG source.

Begin on Phrolova and build Volatile Notes to six, then cast Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord and summon Hecate with Liberation., During Maestro/Resolving Chord, switch to Roccia using Phrolova's Outro to buff Roccia's Havoc and Heavy Attack DMG., Run Roccia's optimal rotations to maximize Imagination stacks and generate Concerto; cast her Liberation for a party ATK buff, then switch to Cantarella., On Cantarella entry cast Resonance Skill and Liberation to fill Trance stacks, enter Mirage and perform her combos to Stagnate enemies., When Cantarella's Outro is ready, switch back to Phrolova to buff Phrolova's Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG; repeat the loop, using Echo Skills from Roccia and Cantarella to empower Hecate's attacks.

Phrolova Hypercarry Team

Hypercarry variant focuses on Phrolova as primary damage node while Shorekeeper provides sustain, buffs, and Stellarealm synergy. Cantarella remains ideal for frequent Echo Skill casts. Shorekeeper is recommended but can be swapped (e.g., Verina) if needed. Midnight Veil 2pc can be used for Phrolova as an alternate Havoc DMG source.

Start on Phrolova and build Volatile Notes via Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos until you have 6., Use Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord and cast Liberation to summon Hecate., When Phrolova's Outro is available, switch to Shorekeeper and run her rotations to fill Concerto and activate Stellarealm., Switch to Cantarella on her Intro, fill Trance stacks with Resonance Skill and Liberation, enter Mirage for combos and crowd control, then switch back to Phrolova when ready., Repeat the rotation; each cycle maximizes Stellarealm detonation while maintaining Hecate off-field damage.

Phrolova Double DPS Team

Double-DPS relies on Phrolova's Heavy Attack DMG amplification to benefit an on-field Heavy Attack scaler (Augusta). Shorekeeper provides team buffs and Stellarealm damage. You may opt to use Midnight Veil 2pc for Phrolova as an alternate Havoc source.

Start on Shorekeeper and run internal rotations to build Resonance and Concerto; activate Stellarealm then switch to Phrolova when Intro is available., On Phrolova, generate six Volatile Notes, perform Scarlet Coda and Liberation to summon Hecate., Use Phrolova's Outro to switch into Augusta; perform Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, use Echo Skill, then Resonance Skill and Liberation as appropriate to build Ascendancy/Forte., Execute Augusta's Forte Plunge and Sworn Allegiance sequence (attack during the 7s time stop), then switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm and continue the loop.

Phrolova F2P Team

F2P-friendly team trades some Phrolova DPS for accessibility. Danjin is a capable 4-star Havoc DPS but requires HP management; Buling offers heals, Resonance Skill DMG buffs, and periodic Electro Flare damage. Expect fewer Hecate procs than ideal compositions.

Start on Buling and build trigram sequences via Basic and Heavy Attacks, then cast her Resonance Skill and an empowered Liberation to generate Electro Flare and Resonance Skill DMG boosts; fill Concerto., Switch to Phrolova, generate six Volatile Notes, use Scarlet Coda (hold Heavy Attack) to enter Resolving Chord, and cast Liberation to summon Hecate., Switch to Danjin via Outro and use her on-field time to build Forte, cast Echo Skill to proc Hecate's enhanced attacks, then use Liberation and Forte as available., When Danjin's on-field window ends, switch back to Buling and repeat the loop; always use Echo Skills when each Resonator is on-field to trigger Hecate.

Alternative Phrolova Teams

These alternatives show viable Sub-DPS and Support swaps for Phrolova. They will generally trigger fewer Echo Skill casts, so Hecate enhanced attacks occur less often (typically twice), resulting in lower off-field DPS compared to Echo Skill-heavy teams. Use these when ideal partners are unavailable.

Phrolova can be paired with various Sub-DPS (Danjin, Zhezhi, Lumi) and supports (Shorekeeper, Verina, Baizhi) depending on available units; run standard Phrolova rotations (build Volatile Notes → Scarlet Coda → Liberation → switch) and use replacements' synergies as applicable.
