How to play Ciaccona
An Aero sub-DPS and Support built on Resonance Liberation DMG, and the most reliable source of Aero Erosion in the game: Basic Attacks, Resonance Skill, Forte Circuit, Resonance Liberation and Intro Skill all apply it.
Basic Attacks and Intro Skill build Musical Essence, and at 3 bars the enhanced Heavy Attack chains into Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation. Solo Concert raises team Aero DMG; her Outro Skill makes enemies take more Aero Erosion DMG. The Liberation itself is a rhythm mini-game.
