How to Equip & Tips
Equip from Character Enhance Screen
You can equip Echoes in the third tab from the top in the character enhancement screen. In the early stages of the game, it's recommended to use the Auto Equip feature, which automatically equips Echoes for you. However, when tackling high-difficulty content, it's advisable to manually equip Echoes, taking into account their abilities and Sonata Effects to maximize your gameplay.
You Cannot Equip Items that Exceed the Maximum Cost
Each Echo has an equipment cost, and you cannot equip it for more than the total cost. The equipment cost varies depending on the type and rarity of Echo, so be sure to collect a wide variety of Echoes. Equipment cost can be raised up to 12 by increasing the Data Bank level.
