Best Echo Sets for

5pc

The Erosion DPS set, Windward Pilgrimage, is the undisputed best set for Cartethyia as it provides a virtually guaranteed boost in Crit Rate and Aero DMG Bonus for Cartethyia. This makes her way easier to build, considering her best in slot weapon won't provide any additional crit stat. Recommended Main Echo: Reminiscence: Fleurdelys

5pc

If you still don't have Windward Pilgrimage, we can suggest going for a Gusts of Welkin set instead. This provides the same Aero DMG Bonus without the additional Crit Rate boost of Windward Pilgrimage. You should still go for Windward Pilgrimage though, as it is generally much better for Aero Erosion DPS than Gusts of Welkin for Sub-DPS. Recommended Main Echo: Reminiscence: Fleurdelys

5pc

If you still have not reached Rinascita, Sierra Gale is going to be your go-to set. This provides virtually unconditional Aero DMG Bonus by just hitting Intro Skills, but you will not have access to Remembrance: Fleurdelys. When you get to Rinascita, especially Septimont, try farming for Windward Pilgrimage if you can. Recommended Main Echo: Nightmare: Feilian Beringal

's Best Primary Echo

Best option for Cartethyia, as it covers both the Windward Pilgrimage and the Gusts of Welkin sets. Provides 20% Aero DMG Bonus to Cartethyia specifically. Players are recommended to farm the new Windward Pilgrimage, as it's her best-in-slot Sonata Effect. However, you can use Gusts of Welkin if you have it while farming this new set.

Last option for Cartethyia if you don't have Windward Pilgrimage or Gusts of Welkin Echoes. She mainly benefits from the Aero DMG provided by this Echo. Only use this if you're early into the game without other Echo options.

Best Teams for

Cartethyia Premium Erosion Team

With the introduction of Chisa, Cartethyia's best team is now with her and Ciaccona. She plays the same role as **Aero Rover**, essentially increasing the number of Erosion stacks that can be applied onto enemies as well as being the Healer for the team. Chisa provides more consistent heals than Rover (Aero) and can dish out more damage as well. On top of this, she provides a lot of **DEF reduction** with Havoc Bane and her Outro, easily activated by Resonators that can apply Negative Statuses. She does perform slightly worse than them without Kumokiri, as it gives a **24%** All-Type DMG Bonus, whereas Rover's free 5-star weapon amplifies **Aero DMG by 10%**. For Ciaccona, she is still the **quintessential sub-DPS** for Cartethyia. She is the only unit to provide **Aero Erosion** for her consistently, which is beneficial during her Ultimate, and gives multiple **Aero DMG buffs** throughout her kit.

Let Chisa enter the field and initiate with Resonance Skill. Then, do her Basic Attack string up to Death Snip and follow up with Thread Withdrawn., Afterwards, cast her Liberation to fill her Forte bar. With her Forte full, enter Chainsaw Mode with her Resonance Skill. During this time, hold her attack button to perform her full Sawring combo., Chisa will finish with her Sawring - Eradication, which you can then switch to the next Resonator. With her Outro, she increases the maximum number of Aero Erosion stacks to 6., When Ciaccona enters via her Intro Skill, she will immediately generate 1 Musical Essence and inflict 1 Erosion stack on enemies. Follow this up with 2 Basic Attacks to generate one more Musical Essence and let her do a Solo Concert. **Solo Concert**: Provides 24% Aero DMG Bonus to all team members., Do Ciaccona's optimal rotations to build up her Forte and Resonance Energy. Once her Forte Circuit is full, cast a Heavy Attack to group enemies and deal damage., Next, cast her Resonance Liberation and switch to Cartethyia when her Intro Skill is available. Make sure Ciaccona applies Aero Erosion in her Liberation., As Cartethyia enters the field, her Intro applies 2 Erosion stacks and summons Sword of Discord. Afterwards, cast 3 BAs to inflict another Erosion stack and summon Sword of Divinity., Then, cast her Resonance Skill to inflict two more Erosion stacks and summon Sword of Virtue. Once all three Swords are on-field, make a plunging attack to recall them and immediately transform into Fleurdelys using Liberation., Fleurdelys will be in the **Manifest state for 12s**. During this time, they cast Resonance Skill to group enemies together. Then, jump in the air to cast Upward Cut and continue with 3 Mid-air attacks., Afterwards, cast her 2nd Resonance Skill to deal more damage and pull in enemies. Follow this with 3 Basic Attacks to restore Conviction., Next, cast her Heavy Attack and enhance it by immediately casting Basic Attack after. Follow this with another Basic Attack to bring enemies up in the air with Upward Cut., Then, cast her second Resonance Liberation to deal great damage in a straight line in front of her., Lastly, use her Outro Skill to amplify other team members' Aero DMG and switch to Chisa. Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Cartethyia Non-Premium Team

Cartethyia's non-premium team is composed of Sanhua on the Sub-DPS role to provide additional Basic Attack DMG Amplification and quick rotations, and Aero-Rover on support to provide healing and additional Aero DMG with Bloodpact's Pledge. Rover is chosen over other Supports for its unique Outro Skill that increases the Erosion stacks taken by enemies, benefiting Cartethyia and her kit. This team would require you to **build Erosion stacks** in Cartethyia mode, so you will have to weave in between Cartethyia and Fleurdelys mid-combo because the majority of the Erosion application is through the Cartethyia mode. This is more tedious than just relying on Ciaccona to passively provide stacks off-field. Alternatively, you may also use Aalto to replace Sanhua and Aero-Rover with a Rejuvenating Glow Shorekeeper. * Moonlit Clouds will not benefit Cartethyia as she does not scale off ATK. That said, we still recommend Moonlit Clouds for its Energy Regen and the damage boost from Impermanence Heron.

Start with Aero Rover and build up their Windstring stacks by doing two rotations of Cloud Burst Dance. Once available, cast Resonance Liberation immediately to fill their Concerto Gauge., Next, cast transformed skill Unbound Flow and immediately switch to Aalto. With Rover's Outro skill, the max Aero Erosion stacks will increase to 6., With Sanhua on-field, do his internal rotations and build his Concerto Energy. Once full, activate his Echo skill and transform into Impermanence Heron., After the initial Echo attack hits, switch immediately to Cartethyia. This will buff Cartethyia's damage dealt, while her Basic Attack DMG is amplified by Sanhua's Outro Skill., Then, Cartethyia enters the field with her Intro, applying Erosion and summoning Sword of Discord. Cast 3 BAs afterward to inflict another Erosion stack and summon Sword of Divinity., Next, cast Resonance Skill to apply two more Erosion stacks and summon Sword of Virtue. When all Swords are on-field, do a plunging attack to recall all swords., With her Resonance Liberation, transform into Fleurdelys and enter the **Manifest state for 12s**. In this state, group enemies up with your Resonance Skill. Then, cast an Upward Cut and do three Mid-air attacks., Afterwards, use her 2nd Resonance Skill to deal damage and pull enemies in. Follow this up with 3 Basic Attacks, restoring Conviction., Revert back to Cartethyia and reapply her Sword Shadow buffs from **steps 5 and 6**. This will also reapply Aero Erosion on to enemies. Then, transform again to Fleurdelys at no energy cost., Next, cast Heavy Attack and enhance it with a Basic Attack. After this, do another Basic Attack to bring enemies up in the air with Upward Cut., Cast her second Resonance Liberation afterward to deal great damage in front of her and revert back to Cartethyia., Lastly, switch out to Rover and enable her Outro skill, buffing the team's Aero DMG. Repeat until all enemies are defeated.
