Best Weapons
by calculated performance
Woodland Aria
R1BestThe best option overall for Ciaccona not only from a personal damage perspective but also from a team damage perspective as this weapon shreds the Aero RES of enemies by 10%, which is particularly useful in Aero teams. Still outclasses all other options in any teams thanks to its big personal damage boost.

Phasic Homogenizer
R1An amazing generalist permanently available pistol that can universally improve the wearer's ATK, DMG Bonus and CRIT DMG. Can get close to a lot of character signatures and is overall a must-have for most accounts. Better than Static Mist in compositions that don't benefit from its ATK buff such as Cartethyia's team.

Lux & Umbra
R1Best Echo with this weapon is Reminiscence: Fleurdelys. Galbrena's Signature has a good Base ATK and CRIT DMG boosts, but can also amplify Heavy Attack DMG and Echo Skill DMG when both damage types are triggered close to one another alongside an extra DEF Ignore buff. Ciaccona takes a solid damage increase from the Heavy Attack DMG Amplify and DEF Ignore towards the end of her rotation if she uses her Echo Skill while her Forte Heavy Attack is about to cast, making it a great alternative overall.

Spectrum Blaster
R1Lynae's Signature weapon can proivde extra Basic Attack DMG to Ciaccona and also has a lot of CRIT Rate and ATK for her to benefit from, however she cannot trigger the party-wide buff this weapon provides which makes it generally worse than the permanent banner weapons.

The Last Dance
R1While Ciaccona takes full advantage of this weapon's passive thanks to her really short rotation, Skill DMG is the most negligible part of her damage types which makes this weapon mostly an atk and CRIT DMG stat-stick. Still a good choice for personal damage overall.

Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Gusts of Welkin
Best set for Aero Erosion supports. Allows characters that can apply Aero Erosion to gain a total of 40% Aero DMG Bonus, an equivalent to Sierra Gale. However, it gains an edge over this set by being able to give 15% of that Aero DMG Bonus to the whole team for 20s, providing both offensive and supportive benefits. This set is only favoured on Ciaccona if an Aero Main DPS is present in the team. Use Moonlit Clouds if this doesn't apply.

5-Piece Sonata
Moonlit Clouds
Best set for Ciaccona in all non-Aero teams. This set sacrifices Ciaccona's personal damage in order to provide higher buffing to a single character. It provides an extra 10% Energy Regen to the wielder unconditionally and gives 22.5% ATK to the incoming character for 15s after casting Outro skill, making it one of the strongest sets to buff any ATK-scaling DPS.

Special Set
Windward Pilgrimage
Used with Main DPS Ciaccona. Best set for Aero Main DPS characters who can apply Aero Erosion or have an Aero Erosion applier on the team. Grants 10% Aero DMG Bonus and an extra 30% Aero DMG Bonus as well as 10% CRIT Rate for 10s when attacking targets inflicted with Aero Erosion. Offers an extra 10% CRIT Rate over the other Aero sets such as Gusts of Welkin or Sierra Gale, providing extra overall damage so long as Aero Erosion is present on the enemy.
