Ash Echoes Team Building Guide

In this guide you can find various teams that you can build in Ash Echoes - not only the core composition, but also replacement characters and the Memory Traces you should use.

Team Introduction

The Corrosion team boasts high, map-wide damage on a timer dictated by how many Corrosion Accumulation sources the team has, and functions outside the elemental reaction system, not interacting with elemental zones, and therefore not requiring elemental zone sources. This team can be run efficiently with as few as 2 Corrosion Accumulation sources, or even just one if at high enough investment.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• TRM: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Caroline (Switch to Leilani later)

Team Composition

Corrosion Team

Lorelle

Tank

Caroline

DPS

Gina

DPS

Freda

Support

• Lorelle is used as Tank as she increases the team's survivability and damage potential. T
• Carolineis used as Sub-DPS and secondary source of healing.
• Gina is used for Burst Damage and her Anti-Projectile capabilities, and provides Corrosion Accumulation just like the previous two Echomancers.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Luke [DPS] - Luke is a versatile Summoner who specializes in Barriers and Turrets, and is a good flex character to bring to any stages where Projectiles may threaten the Terminal.
• 
  Aceo [DPS] - Aceo can be used for a more control-oriented DPS option that still contributes with Corrosion Accumulation, with some area denial at the expense of Anti-Air capabilities.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - A healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Bellia [Support] - Bellia is a source of healing over time with some crowd control on top thanks to her slowing attacks. Bring her if you don't have any of the previous options.
• 
  Bubbles [Support] - A cheap source of healing, if you have had no luck pulling higher rarity supports, a high dupe bubbles will perform admirably well, especially in keeping your tank alive.

Team Introduction

The Eletrocution team uses Water Zones to continuously stunlock enemies through the application of Lightning damage, which propagates across the elemental surfaces, dealing high damage thanks to the team's Elemental Reaction DMG Boost. Needs at least one source of Water Zones and one source of Lightning Damage.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800 (prioritize VIT if running Yuqi)
• Leader: Freda / Longqing / Furay & Furney /Sambheka

Team Composition

Electrocution Team

Yuqi

Tank

Furay & Furney

Water Zone

Lydia

DPS

Freda

Support

• Yuqi is used as Tank who can soak up enemies, group up enemies and provide some Lightning damage. He is also used to fulfill the 2 Lightning characters requirement for Remaining Friends Trace, and triggers My Vision is Clear! as well.
• Furay & Furney are used for consistent Water Zone Generation.
• Lydia is the main DPS carry of the team who is great at dealing with groups of enemies and has Barrier Penetration.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Sambheka [Water Zone] - Helps keep the team safe by pushing enemies away and clearing out Poison Mist. Can also replace Furay & Furnay as a cheaper option to Water Zone creation or boost the creation and duration of such zones by changing the Weather with her Seed Skill.
• 
  Luke [DPS] - Luke is a versatile Summoner who specializes in Barriers and Turrets, and is a good flex character to bring to any stages where Projectiles may threaten the Terminal.
• 
  Pris [DPS] - Alternative Lightning Damage source that benefits from having Freda in the team, while also offering minion synergy support and access to combo active skill. Lower damage output than Lydia.
• 
  Ms. Lew [DPS] - Budget Lightning Damage source. Surprisingly good damage for a 4* damage dealer. Her ultimate can outdamage higher rarity single dupe carries when maxed out.
• 
  Hassel [DPS] - High damage, but does not trigger electrocution as often as we would like due to his dual element kit. Still, if you happen to have a highly invested Hassel you can bring him.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - A healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Bubbles [Support] - A cheap source of healing, if you have had no luck pulling higher rarity supports, a high dupe bubbles will perform admirably well, especially in keeping your tank alive.

  (Core)
• [MST] Shadows Of The Alley
  or
  [MST] Separation

Team Introduction

The Freeze team uses Ice Echomancers to keep enemies continuously Frozen, with a chance to instakill enemies if you stack enough of it with [Frostbreak]. Water surfaces make the team more consistent.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Ivana

Team Composition

Freeze Team

Sambheka

Water Zone

Ivana

DPS

Begonia

DPS

Freda

Support

• Sambheka is ran for Water Zone generation, keeping enemies Frozen when her ultimate is up, and pushing enemies away when it is not. Her Lightning also triggers [Electrolyzed] from time to time which reduces enemy damage dealt, which makes for great role compression as we don't need to bring two different Echomancers for Water Generation and Lightning Damage.
• Ivana is the main dps carry, dealing the bulk of the team's damage while also freezing enemies and applying her powerful [Everfrost] debuff.
• Begonia is the Sub-DPS who also contributes with Attack Speed buffs to help keep enemies Frozen.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Furay & Furney [Water Zone] - Bring these instead of Sambheka if you want more Water Zone uptime at the expense of utility potential.
• 
  Luke [DPS] - Luke is a versatile Summoner who specializes in Barriers and Turrets, and is a good flex character to bring to any stages where Projectiles may threaten the Terminal.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - A healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Bellia [Support] - Bellia is a source of healing over time with some crowd control on top thanks to her slowing attacks. She also contributes to Freeze uptime in this team.
• 
  Bubbles [Support] - A cheap source of healing, if you have had no luck pulling higher rarity supports, a high dupe bubbles will perform admirably well, especially in keeping your tank alive.

Memory Traces

• [ATK] Emptiness
• [MST] Shadows Of The Alley
• [MST] Born From Ashes
• [DEF] Hello, Visier
• [DEF] Lightchaser

Alternative/Budget

• [MST] Happy Hours
• [MST] Traces In The Museum
• [ATK] Beneath The Deception
• [VIT] Lectures On Arcane Theories
• [VIT] Behind The Curtains
• [DEF] Karma
• [TRM] Strongest Summoner
• [TRM] Growth

Team Introduction

The Summoner Team is all about overwhelming the enemy with a flood of individually weak summons, that get much more threatening when a dozen or two of them can be active at the same time.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Cen Ying

Team Composition

Summoner Team

Lorelle

Tank

Cen Ying

DPS

Luke

DPS

Freda

Support

• Lorelle being the strongest Tank on launch, is the default choice for most teams that don’t require their own Tank to fit in the team’s synergy. The rest of the team is naturally squishy, which further increases Lorelle’s appeal.
• Cen Ying is the main DPS of the team, offering both damage and burst.
• Luke is an amazing Support/Sub-DPS, his summons also work as Barriers for extra synergy, and his Ultimate covers a long area and counters all Projectiles in its range.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Sambheka [CC] - doesn’t synergize all that well with the team, but her ability to keep enemies far away is welcome, on top of countering bad Field conditions like Poison and such.
• 
  Tong [DPS] - Tong is perfect if you want to abuse a Burst window or need Projectile Interception
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output.
• 
  Tian Ruo [Tank] - Tian Ruo strikes again! If you need more Barriers, or simply want to keep Luke’s Skill for damage and not defense Tian Ruo is a solid, cheap option to act as a Tank.
• 
  Gauya [CC] - Gauya offers a Summon and frequent slows. He won’t offer much damage wise, but his kit can still fill a niche role.
• 
  Sephonis [CC] - Sephonis brings quite a bit of CC and participates in the Summon synergy. Not the best, but CC can be a lifesaver and if you enjoy playing her she’ll do well here.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - Zodivin is a healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Su Xiao [Support] - If it’s not broken, don’t fix it! Thanks to her versatile kit, Su Xiao can stand in as the Support of the team until you get more options.
• 
  Shu [Tank/CC] - Shu is there mostly for AoE Gauge Breaking and Disruption with small Stuns. Don’t rely on him too much to tank, that’s best done with Lorelle

Memory Traces

• [ATK] Beneath The Deception
• [VIT] Behind The Curtains
• [MST] Born From Ashes
• [MST] Bad Soil Bloom
• [DEF] Nightmare
  (if with Longqing or Tian Ruo) or
  [DEF] Karma

Alternative/Budget

• [MST] Happy Hours
  (Replaces “Bad Soil Bloom”)
• [MST] Traces In The Museum
• [MST] Racing Night
  (if using Luke)
• [DEF] Dawn
• [DEF] Double Attraction
• [ATK] Codename Diversity
• [TRM] Wish In The Rain

Team Introduction

Exploiting the Damage over Time of the Fire Zone and the powerful synergies of the Fire roster, the Pure Fire Team excels at fighting Ground enemies, no matter their size or their numbers.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Cyros

Team Composition

Pure Fire Team

Mo Hongxiu

Tank

Cyros

DPS

Roar

DPS

Freda

Support

• Mo Hongxiu is the Tank, and the secondary Fire Zone creator in the main team. She's also gonna be the second Fire Echomancer in your active team to enable Inspire skills that would require two Fire Echomancers present.
• Cyros is the primary Fire Zone creator thanks to his transformed Active Skill and he also doubles as a very powerful damage dealer.
• Roar is your second DPS, armed with powerful Basic Attacks that get stronger as the fight goes on, and a small Fire Zone tied to her Ultimate.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs that can take your Burst to another level.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Sambheka [CC] - Sambheka doesn’t synergize all that well with the team, but her ability to keep enemies far away is welcome, on top of countering bad Field conditions like poison and such. Like Longqing, she can trigger the [Vaporized] reaction.
• 
  Luke [DPS] - In the Fire Team, Luke's main draw is his Barrier spamming ability and his Projectile Destruction. His personal DPS isn't all that great, but since we have some Summon Synergy in our Traces he's alright.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output. Can also trigger the [Vaporized] reaction to turn the offensive Fire Zone into a defensive Mist.
• 
  Tian Ruo [Tank] - Tian Ruo makes his appearance once more! Small, spammable Barrier and a team Heal are more than enough to earn him a spot early on.
• 
  Xiangling [CC] - Xiangling is another Fire Zone creator thanks to her transformed Skills, as well as a great Disruptor with strong Push and Pull capabilities.
• 
  Reid [Fire Zone] - Reid has very good Fire Zone creation and can be switched in and out for more consistency. His damage is lacking compared to the rest of the DPS, and his Zones cover tiny areas making them somewhat impractical for AoE.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - Zodivin is a healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Su Xiao [Support] - Thanks to her versatile kit, Su Xiao can stand in as the Support of the team until you get more options. On top of that, her permanent Crit rate buff synergizes extremely well with the Fire Team.
• 
  Infa [Tank] - Infa is a correct Tank and she can potentially replace Mo Hongxiu as a Fire Tank, however she struggles at high difficulty.

Memory Traces

• [ATK] Into A Paper Crane
• [VIT] Dusk Radiance
• [MST] Born From Ashes
• [MST] Shadows Of The Alley
• [DEF] Lightchaser

Team Introduction

Excellent Burst and great synergies are what define the Explosion Team. Ground enemies won't survive long but be aware that Fire Zones do not affect Airborne Enemies.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Cyros

Team Composition

Freda

Support

• Mo Hongxiu is the Tank, and the secondary Fire Zone creator in the main team. She's also gonna be the second Fire Echomancer in your active team to enable Inspire skills that would require two Fire Echomancers present.
• Cyros is the primary Fire Zone creator thanks to his transformed Active Skill and he also doubles as a very powerful damage dealer.
• Lydia is your Lightning carry, with access to powerful Lightning basic attacks and Auto skill, along with devastating nukes once she's had the time to ramp up.
• Freda provides consistent healing and buffs that can take your Burst to another level.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Sambheka [CC] - Sambheka's ability to keep enemies far away is welcome, on top of countering bad Field conditions like poison and such. Like Longqing, she can trigger the [Vaporized] reaction. To top it off, she can turn your Explosion team into a weaker version of the Electroconduct team if you need bigger AoEs.
• 
  Luke [DPS] - In the Explosion Team, Luke's main draw is his Barrier spamming ability and his Projectile Destruction. His personal DPS isn't all that great as we have little to no Summon synergy.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output. Can also trigger the [Vaporized] reaction to turn the offensive Fire Zone into a defensive Mist.
• 
  Tian Ruo [Tank] - Tian Ruo makes his appearance once more! Small, spammable Barrier and a team Heal are more than enough to earn him a spot early on.
• 
  Xiangling [CC] - Xiangling is another Fire Zone creator thanks to her transformed Skills, as well as a great Disruptor with strong Push and Pull capabilities.
• 
  Reid [Fire Zone] - Reid has very good Fire Zone creation and can be switched in and out for more consistency. His damage is lacking compared to the rest of the DPS, and his Zones cover tiny areas making them somewhat impractical for AoE.
• 
  Zodivin Azure [Support] - Zodivin is a healer option with defensive buffs and suited for long battles, can also contribute with a bit of DPS.
• 
  Su Xiao [Support] - Thanks to her versatile kit, Su Xiao can stand in as the Support of the team until you get more options. On top of that, her permanent Crit rate buff synergizes extremely well with the Fire Team.
• 
  Hassel [DPS] - Hassel is a powerful damage dealer, but having a mix of Physical and Lightning damage doesn't help his case. If you manage to time his Burst window properly with the rest of your team however, he can make quick work of just about any foe.
• 
  Pris [DPS] - Pris offers almost exclusively AoE output, and is more focused on wider coverage. Her skills apply many instances of damage but the multipliers are fairly low, so avoid playing her when facing the more durable foes
• 
  Ms. Lew [DPS] - Ms. Lew possesses high Single target damage as well as good AoE capabilities when targeting smaller packs of enemies, making her a great pick in most situations. She can also be a Leader when playing two Lightning Echomancers in main team
• 
  Mars [DPS] - Mars is good at both Anti-Air and reducing Elemental Resistance. As a Striker, he also has naturally high Block Gauge Breaking.
• 
  Yuqi [Tank] - Yuqi is there to either replace Mo Hongxiu if she's taken out or serve as a secondary Tank in case you need to focus on defense. He's capable of easily enabling Explosion/Elemental reaction based skills from Traces for example.

Team Introduction

With high ATK Speed, Anti-Air and great CC options, the Wind team sets itself apart as a more specialized Team at launch, with Echomancers easily splashable into most other Teams.

Stats and Leader

• Engraving Stats:
• ATK: 1400
• MST: 1400
• Other stats: 800
• Leader: Shiratori Azusa / Zodivin Azure (if using 'Blood Ruvia - Secret')

Team Composition

Wind Team

Lorelle

Tank

Shiratori Azusa

DPS

Felicio

DPS

Zodivin Azure

Support

• Lorelle - When you’re not sure which Tank to bring, you can count on Lorelle. Very powerful defensive options, and an offensive mode to capitalize on Wind’s tendency to lean towards DPS, Lorelle fits the team very well.
• Azusa is the team's Carry at launch, with Ranged and Melee damage as well as DPS/Burst options in her kit.
• Felicio is one of the better support for DPS teams and fits the early Wind synergy very well. His massive ATK Speed buffs and his control of the Air makes him a great fit for most situations.
• Zodivin Azure brings defensive buffs and powerful Heals to ensure the team’s safety, as Wind Echomancers tend to be on the fragile side.

Alternatives and Extra Slot Candidates

• 
  Sambheka [CC] - Sambheka is yet another control tool that works well within the Wind team, bringing more ways to keep the enemies at bay a bit like Lanlan does, except that she trades some of that CC for more weather manipulation.
• 
  Longqing [Support] - A more defensive option for healing, with access to powerful barriers, at the expense of overall offensive output. Can also trigger the [Vaporized] reaction to turn the offensive Fire Zone into a defensive Mist.
• 
  Tian Ruo [Tank] - Small, spammable Barrier and a team Heal are more than enough to earn him a spot early on.
• 
  Lanlan [CC] - Lanlan possesses strong AoE CCs. What she lacks however is damage and survivability, making her a more relevant reserve unit than fully active. For AUTO play, Lanlan is a strong pick for Defensive play.
• 
  Begonia [DPS] - Begonia can be used for a teamwide ATK Speed buff and Block Gauge Breaking should you not be playing Felicio.
• 
  Freda [Support] - Freda’s buffs are still extremely relevant to the Wind team, however they are not as crucial as they could be in other synergies.
• 
  Su Xiao [Support] - Thanks to her versatile kit, Su Xiao can stand in as the Support of the team until you get more options. On top of that, her permanent Crit rate buff synergizes well with the Wind Team.
• 
  Shu [Tank] - Shu brings even more CC to the Team with his frequent AoE Stuns and his huge Gather Ult.
