5-Piece Sonata

Empyrean Anthem

1%

Offers an unconditional 10% Energy Regen% and 80% Coordinated DMG boost. Also grants a passive supportive effect which triggers when the wearer of this set critically strikes with a Coordinated attack, this effect grants the on field Resonator an ATK% boost regardless if they're the wearer of the set or not. The set is better than Moonlit Clouds if and only if the equipped character's Echoes have endgame investment (with 9 or 10 CRIT substats total) and the character has a 5-star weapon equipped. If both conditions aren't met, Moonlit Clouds is a better choice.

Zhezhi build summary

Rime-Draped Sprouts is the weapon to build around. Without it, Whispers of Sirens, Lethean Elegy and Stringmaster are the next picks, in that order. Augment is the budget option.

On the Empyrean Anthem set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Glacio DMG on the 3-cost, Glacio 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% > Basic DMG% > Flat ATK.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S4 (+20% Team ATK), S3 (+15% Skill DMG) and S1 (+10% CRIT Rate). Level Res. Liberation → Forte Circuit → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.

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