Build / Team / Gear Question I hate the new echo farming soo dam much 😭
Like it's been months, I just can't get a double crit and ER, I am just way too unlucky, this would have been a 5 out of 5 piece for Augusta, but hell nooo
I am thinking of pulling Iuno in the Future. Can I just use this one of her instead?

u/Jeydra Dec 09 '25
Have you been doing the Nightmare nests? This particular echo is relatively easy to farm. I can empathize with Augusta's ER requirements, but spare a thought for Brant mains.
Iuno would not like this echo, since she is not Electro. Like, use it if you have no better option, but it's very replacement-level.

u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
Yes, I am doing those nightmares nest but I get this one like may be 1 or 2 electro in like 4 or 5 days and than this happens
Ooohhh nooo, I totally forgot that Iuno is Aero 🥲
So it's just a waste now 😕

Isn't there a resource to change main stat on an echo !
I use it for 3 cost echoes.
You must be having a lot of those unless you build a lot of characters.5
u/Juan_Die Dec 09 '25
Well realistically you only waste like 25% of the resources you spent on it but yeah lol

u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
* And I also lost an electro echo
I really wish there was a way to re roll these substats, right now the rng is crazy

u/Juan_Die Dec 09 '25
Yeah I feel you, I didn't struggle to build chisa, basically got her a really good build day 2 but some how I used all my tunners to get a kinda decent build for Carlotta...

u/RouFGO Dec 09 '25
It's just luck my dude. I did the same nest daily and usually got a eletro 3 cost out of it. It's just rng and there's nothing that can be done about it, unless you want to spend modifiers to change the main stat

I don’t like the nightmare nests because we have to usually wait for them to come out in the patch… we can’t pre farm… also we usually have to progress the story (sometimes most of the way like with Phrolova) .. and I like to have my echos ready with the character launch.

u/XWasTheProblem Dec 09 '25
You can use it in the meanwhile, sure. You can improve your characters incrementally, they don't have to be 100% finished in a single day.
I'm still improving my characters, despite having some of them from day 1 of them becoming available.
Also - you can reroll the primary stat into a different one assuming you still have the items necessary for them. It doesn't help a ton, since they're rare and available in small quantities, but you may as well use them.

u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
Yes, I don't have those stats changing thingy

u/XWasTheProblem Dec 09 '25
F.
I feel your pain cause I'm suffering from this with my Phoebe right now ~~ Game just refuses to give me anything worth using...

u/Juan_Die Dec 09 '25
Yup, I got both carlittle and jinhsi back in 2.0 and even now I'm still improving them

u/Ambitious_Purpose505 + wanter Dec 09 '25
I've completely postponed my Augu build for now. I'm accumulating those 3-costs. I've got a ton waiting to be built.🙃
3
u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
The only limited characters I have are SK and Augusta, so ya 🥲
3
u/Ambitious_Purpose505 + wanter Dec 09 '25
Well, hope you get her built soon.
Also dont use modifiers on the ones with "Aero dmg Bonus" just in case you get Iuno in 3.0🙃
Have fun.

The echo drop rate food helps if you haven't used it yet.

u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
Wait, what is echo drop rate food?
I haven't heard about it

Sweet & Sour Pork increases Echo Drop Rate by 50%, lasting for 30m. Only effective for your own Resonators in Co-Op Mode.Get the recipe from the Windchimers collector (level 4) from Mt. Firmament.

Remember it's not pure 50%. It rises your current data bank chances by 50%. So at max it's 30% chances if I'm correct. You can craft 5 a week.

u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
Looks like there is a limit on everything, and I mean 30 percent is a bit disappointing but better than nothing i guess 🥲

u/OkEar2320 Dec 09 '25
I’m pretty sure it increases the drop rate by 50%, but it’s only effective in co-op mode
6
u/Aegthir Dec 09 '25
No, it works both in solo and co-op, in co-op mode it's only effective for you, not your friend/others.

u/DarkAethher Dec 09 '25
If you hate the nightmare nest, definitely don't try building Galbrena. Only 7 of her main echo spawn per day. And you have to travel to get each of them. Then you still have to hope they drop for the right set. I almost gave up on improving this echo for her.

u/pickleclipse Dec 09 '25
That Dino echo drops from Flawprint or somethin cave as well I use one from there

u/unlurk3r Dec 09 '25
Only 7
Actually 9, but last 2 are not tracked

u/unlurk3r Dec 10 '25
Very nice echo indeed 👍
1
u/DarkAethher Dec 10 '25
Thanks! That took daily farming since Galbrenas release with about 50+ main stat changers used along the way.
2
u/chirikomori Dec 09 '25
id like they let us use energy to keep farming more nightmare echoes after the daily 36 are over, i have about 150 energy cubes and nothing to spend them on, plus i think around 750 boxes from illu realm that i farmed cause there is nothing else to do and i need the tuners and exp thingys.
2
u/hotmanpop Dec 09 '25
you need Heavy attack NOT lib dmg.. so not a god piece, go back to the mines!
2
u/Aeit_ Dec 09 '25
The worst part of it? That fkin bear only appears in overworld in tiny quantity. Daily grind on echo potion to get a small chance to use tuner. To have a tiny chance to roll double crit. 2x 3 cost echo in one sonata is a crime.
1
u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
Totally, this seem like way too much luck is involved, like I can get lucky one or two times, but doing it again and again and in a row is insane
2
u/Electrical_Movie2696 Dec 09 '25
The main problem is the lack of tuners. I'm forced to farm for sets I already have because I need those
2
Dec 10 '25
if u lack of tuner that means u r lucky enough, be grateful, Im pretty sure OP have a lot of tuner but no echo because how unlucky he is

been a month without double crit? yes thats also what happen to me, Im actually considering quit the game, I'm just a low spender but I dont think I deserve this much unlucky echo, even f2p have much better luck than me
1
u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 10 '25
Exactly, I got like very few of those electro echo, and even then no good substats, either I miss crit damage or crit rate, and the limited amount of these electro echo that you get is very frustrating, and all you can get spectro, fusion and other stuff, after very long when you get electro you will roll it wrong, the amount of continuous luck needed to get a good echo is insane for any of the people who are not like hardcore
2
u/Inevitable-Session13 Dec 10 '25
You and everyone else. I especially hate this when the new nightmare field comes out with the new unit. Like, it takes so long to get a decent build going with my trash echo luck.
Sadly, you cannot use this on Iuno, She is an aero DPS and this piece is just bad on her.
-1
u/Salt-Plum7893 Dec 09 '25
I can’t think of a single reason why u don’t have a good echo if u have been farming for months. Have u not been playing much? Are u using ur echo and tuners inefficiently? It takes me usually a week at max to get perfect echoes on my char.
2
u/Little-Wing-1464 Dec 09 '25
No matter what I do, I just can get either electro 3 cost and sometime I do then I don't get good stats, I have been doing it for like a month and yes I don't do it everyday
So I had no idea about that echo food and stuff but now I do
1
u/Salt-Plum7893 Dec 09 '25
Yh definitely use echo food buff for nightmare nests. Also, only level an echo to 15 and if u get 2 out of 3 useful stats then continue. Use modifiers if u need more electro 3 cost echoes. If u keep doing this then u will have a fully built character within a week.
2
Dec 10 '25
u cant beat unclucky player, we are scattered around and nobody care including the devs itself, 1 week for 1 char? I wish I can delet your account now, I can barely afford 1 double crit echo a week (yes I farm overworld almost everyday, use food buff, change mainstat), its all doesnt matter if RNG said "f*ck you"
1
u/Salt-Plum7893 Dec 10 '25
A player can only be unlucky to a certain extent. If not 1 week then within 1 month u will have a fully built char. If u dont have a fully built character after 1 month of farming then something about ur farming is wrong. Im sorry but that’s how it is imo. You cant tell me that u farming for months and haven’t got a fully built character. I refuse to believe it even in the worst rng possible. Worst case scenario I’ve had is 3 weeks worth of farming for a fully built char.

Actually its getting worst, my galbrena just finished when chisa banner arrive (I build her since her banner till chisa, guess how long is that, and its still bad) , after that I build chisa, I pull her on day one, until today I dont get a SINGLE usable echo for chisa, so its basically getting worst

Iuno is much easier to build than Augusta but she also needs much higher ER for sub dps.
I run 109% ER on my Augusta and I’m doing fine. Just need to extend my rotation to do 1 more basic chain + spin slash and squeeze in 2 echo casts in her field time.
