The Void Thunder Echoes is the best option to build Calcharo, as its two-piece bonus provides a 10% Electro damage boost to the respective character. The Sonata Effect from the complete set further increases the elemental damage by 15% up to two stacks after the wielder releases Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill.

Choose Thundering Mephis as the lead Echo as it rolls with the Void Thunder effect. This creature can also launch rapid assaults of up to six strikes. The final hit boosts the active units, Electro and Liberation DMG.

Alternatively, you can use Lingering Tunes Echoes on Clacharo for the ATK and Outro Skill DMG boost.

Echo stat priorities:

• Cost 4: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
• Cost 3: Electro DMG
• Cost 1: ATK%
