LorelleBuild and Guide

Lorelle is a 6✦ Echomancer of the Vanguard Class, with the Corrosion Element. She specializes in tanking, drawing damage away from allies, enhancing basic attacks, and corrosion accumulation, which allows her to double as damage dealer in corrosion teams. Lorelle has the ability to switch between two modes: Defense, which makes her and teammates tankier, and Offense, which allows them to deal more damage at the expense of tanking ability, allowing her to adjust for different situations on the fly.

The key to understand Lorelle’s gameplay is her “Prelude” skill. Like other Vanguards, Lorelle can alternate between two modes: Offense and Defense. In her case, both modes are tied to her passive, “Polyphony”.

In Defense mode, she’s more likely to get targeted by enemies, gains a Block Gauge and an increase in DR. If her Block Gauge is not empty, when allied Echomancers take DMG, 30% of it is diverted to Lorelle, allowing her to protect her allies no matter where they are.

In Offense mode, Lorelle increases allied Echomancer's ATK DMG by 20%. She also deals more damage herself, especially against Elite and Boss enemies. For this reason, try to keep Lorelle in this mode as much as possible until her or her allies start to fall below 50% HP.

Lorelle's Seed Skill, “Night-light Aria”, is quite simple but unique. While she's casting it, she cannot act (refer to the screenshot below), but the effects of Polyphony are enhanced, she gains a Shield, and she also records all DMG Dealt by allies while this state lasted, unleashing 30% of the total recorded DMG as [True DMG] to all enemies. Try to line up all your offensive tools to unleash it during the burst window created by “Night-light Aria”. Additionally, thanks to the shield that the ult gives Lorelle, it is also useful to trigger skills from Memory Traces related to shields.

Finally, thanks to the versatility of her passives, Lorelle can easily be slotted into any team. Also, a benefit from the Corrosion element is that it only needs two Echomancers of that element to be effective, allowing for a wide variety of combinations with other elements. Lorelle doesn't need any dupe, but like every other Echomancer, they have their utility. The first dupe is the best one, and on top of increasing the effects of Polyphony, it allows its passives to take effect even when she isn't on the field, although with only 50% of effectiveness. It's advised to keep her in Offense mode for this (that's the default if you don't deploy her at all). The third dupe is only worth chasing if you're focusing on Corrosion as one of your main teams, as it reduces enemies’ Corrosion RES by 20% when they're affected by Polyphony.

Tier list comment

The backbone of Corrosion teams, Lorelle can adapt to any situation on the fly by switching between Attack and Defense stances to provide a myriad of benefits. She’s considered one of the most cost-effective Echomancers, and still one of the most versatile ones at CN version.
