Best Weapons

by calculated performance

The Last Dance

R1Best

Carlotta's Signature and a solid choice for most pistol based resonators due to its decent base damage, very high CRIT DM% and permanent ATK% boost. Far more effective though for resonators that deal some or the majority of their damage through Resonance Skill damaging abilites.

108.3%

Static Mist

Incredibly potent option offering main stat CRIT RATE, great base damage and a good amount of energy recharge allowing for sub stats to be used elsewhere. Also offers a supportive ability granting the next character to switch in an ATK boost granting it extra value for Hybrid and Support characters.

100.0%

Thunderbolt

Powerful Gun option for Resonance Skill focused damage characters, but with a heavy conditional required for activation. Grants solid base damage and ATK% via main stats. Also offers an incredibly potent stackable Resonance Skill DMG% bonus that requires the users consistently use Basic Attacks to maintain.

84.5%

Relativistic Jet

Good generalist 4-star weapon that provides extra Energy and has good Base ATK for a 4-star. Removes any Energy requirements on Chixia.

82.4%

Novaburst

Gun usable by all resonators, offering good bonuses to ATK but reliant on dodging 3 times initially (with continual dodges after that). Should only be used by those willing to perform dodges at the start of their rotation and consistently after. Calculations assume you perform dodges as soon as possible and maintain the buff.

81.9%

Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.

Best Echo Sets

5-Piece Sonata

Molten Rift

100%

Offers a 10% unconditional Fusion DMG% boost and an additional 30% Fusion DMG% after using a Resonance Skill for a grand total of 40% additional Fusion damage.

Chixia build summary

The Last Dance is the weapon to build around. Without it, Static Mist, Thunderbolt and Relativistic Jet are the next picks, in that order.

On the Molten Rift set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Fusion DMG on the 3-cost, Fusion DMG > ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S3 (+40% Liberation DMG), S5 (+30% ATK) and S6 (+25% Basic Attack DMG). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.

Ascension needs 46× Rage Tacet Core above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
