How to play Calcharo
A high-skill, high-reward Electro main DPS whose damage is nearly all Resonance Liberation DMG, and who runs on two counters at once.
Resonance Skill hits grant Cruelty, and 3 of them buy a special Heavy Attack that returns both Resonance and Concerto Energy. During Resonance Liberation, Basic Attack hits grant Killing Intent, and 5 release Death Messenger.
The rotation is long and unforgiving, and dropping a Death Messenger window costs more than any single mistake in most kits.
Calcharo’s best teams
Calcharo Team · Lynae
Calcharo (Main DPS), Lynae (Sub-DPS), Mornye or Shorekeeper or Verina or Baizhi (Support)
The best Calcharo Team.
Lynae feeds Resonance Liberation DMG, and that’s what Calcharo scales on.
Mornye is Calcharo's best third slot only when Lynae is already on the team, since Lynae is what applies the Tune Rupture and Strain that Mornye responds to for her full set of buffs. Without Lynae the slot goes back to the generalists.
Calcharo Dual DPS
Calcharo (Main DPS), Xiangli Yao (Sub-DPS), Shorekeeper or Verina (Support)
A Calcharo Dual DPS, a niche pick in Tower and the Wastes.
Calcharo and Xiangli both deal damage on field. The rotation has to split it.
Shorekeeper puts Crit and ATK on top of everything, and heals.
Calcharo Team
Calcharo (Main DPS), Yinlin (Sub-DPS), Mornye or Shorekeeper or Verina (Support)
Yinlin's damage amp multiplies everything Calcharo does.
Mornye is Calcharo's best third slot only when Lynae is already on the team, since Lynae is what applies the Tune Rupture and Strain that Mornye responds to for her full set of buffs. Without Lynae the slot goes back to the generalists.
