Encore Version: Best Weapons

Stringmaster is Encore's most powerful weapon, although it is technically Yinlin's signature weapon. Stringmaster shines because it offers a high crit rate and increased damage, both of which are crucial to Encore's playstyle.

If you don't have Stringmaster, Cosmic Ripples is a fantastic alternative. It gives Encore a full boost, including high base attack, increased attack percentage, and significant energy regeneration.

This extra energy will help you use Encore's powerful resonance release more frequently.

We recommend opting for the weapons mentioned above. However, if you don't have them, you can also use them:

  • Increase
  • Guardian of Jinzhou
  • Guardian rectifier

Encore version: best Echo sets

Encore's main strength lies in its ability to deal devastating Fusion damage. To fully exploit this potential, the optimal Echo set for her is Molten Rift.

This set is specifically geared toward boosting Fusion damage. With all five pieces equipped, it grants a significant 30% bonus to Encore's fusion damage for a duration of 15 seconds after using a Resonance skill.

This synergy aligns perfectly with Encore's playstyle, as she relies heavily on using her Resonance skills for maximum effectiveness. The Molten Rift set guarantees constant uptime on this powerful damage buff.

While not the ideal choice for dealing pure damage, Lingering Tunes (5-piece set) present a viable alternative in specific circumstances. This set focuses on increasing Encore's overall attack percentage, which can be beneficial in certain situations.

ECHO SET SET BONUS
Molten Rift 2 set bonus: Fusion DMG +10%.
Set Bonus 5: Fusion DMG +30% for 15 sec after releasing the Resonance skill.
Lingering Melodies 2 set bonus: ATK +10%.
5 set bonus: On the field, ATK increases by 5% every 1.5 sec. This effect stacks up to 4 stacks. Outro Skill Damage +60%.

Encore version: best Echo combination

Here is the best Echo combination we recommend using on Encore:

ECHO SLOT ECHO STATUS PRIORITY
1 Hell Rider Critical Rate Percentage or Critical Damage Percentage
2 Geocaze the Saurian Attack percentage
3 Mane of Chaos Dread Attack percentage
4 Pyromaniac Attack percentage or energy regeneration percentage
5 Cut Attack percentage or energy regeneration percentage

While the above Echo combination is best for Encore, except for the first slot, you can use other Echoes in slots 2-5 as long as you focus on the given stat priority.

Encore version: priority to skills

When it comes to upgrading Encore skills in Wuthering Waves, follow the priority below:
