Can Attack Rapidly Against Single Enemies

His Basic ATK, Heavy ATK and Extreme Evasion can be enhanced with his Resonance Liberation. In his normal state, it is important to use his combo including his Resonance Skill. He is hard to control but if you can fully utilize his abilities, he is one of the strongest characters.

Depends on Player Skills

His Resonance Liberation lasts 11 seconds, which is just enough for 3 Heavy Attacks and 2 Basic ATK Combos. You want to fit that all in while the Liberation Skill is active but that can be difficult when you need to evade attacks or take damage while trying to do so.

How to Use Calcharo

Resonance Liberation Boosts Basic Attacks

When Calcharo uses his Resonance Liberation he enters a buffed state. This will greatly increase the power of his basic attacks. While in the buffed state, you can perform powerful combos with just Normal attacks, making Calcharo an amazing Electro DPS for beginners.

Basically Use Resonance Skill Then Heavy Attack

When you are in the normal state and the Resonance Liberation is not activated, use Resonance Skill to stack "Cruelty". After getting 3 stacks of Cruelty, Heavy Attacks will be buffed. It will not only boost DMG but also gives you 6 points of Resonance Liberation and Concerto energy. This will allow you to deal more damage, making it easier to activate Resonance Liberation and Intro/Outro Skills.

Stack Up Killing Intent with Basic Attacks While In Buffed State

While in the buffed state, your basic attack will become a 5-hit combo. Every part of the combo hit will give you Killing Intent stacks. After getting 5 stacks of Killing Intent, his attacks will become a Heavy Attack "Death Messenger" which deals massive damage, while giving you both Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy.

Use Resonance Skill 3 Times Consecutively

Using Calcharo's Resonance skill allows you to perform a 3-hit combo. Each attack has a cooldown of around 4 seconds so use Basic Attacks and evade attacks in between to perform various combos. There's a lot of space to change your combos here, so once you're used to the controls you can try to deal more damage or evade attacks while stacking up Cruelty to deal buffed Heavy Attacks.

Calcharo - Best Echoes and Weapons

Equip 5 Void Thunder Echoes

Effect	Echoes
Void Thunder

We recommend Void Thunder or Endless Resonance to increase damage output. With a 5-piece set, Void Thunder can increase damage output after using Heavy ATK or Resonance Skill. This will be powerful since you will be using those attacks often.

Best Weapons

Weapon	Tier/Advantage
Verdant Summit	Tier ★★★★★ - Enhance DMG for all Elements - Increases Crit DMGP - Increases Heavy ATK damage after using Liberation
Emerald of Genesis	Tier ★★★★★ - Increase Liberation DMG - Enhances Liberation DMG when Resonance Skill hits enemy - Enhance Energy Regen
Autumntrace	Tier ★★★★・ - Increases Crit Rate - Increases ATK when using Basic and Heavy ATK - Pioneer Podcast Reward
Helios Cleaver	Tier ★★★★・ - ATK increases when switching with ally - ATK continues to increase once battle starts - No need to use Intro Skill

Increase your DMG Output

You will be using the Basic ATK after activating the Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation, so use a weapon that increases Resonance Skill and Liberation DMG.

Calcharo - Best Resonance Chain

Resonance Chain 1 will make Resonance Liberation Easier to Activate

At Node 1, you will gain 10 Resonance Energy every time your Resonance Skill hits the enemy. You can only use it every 20sec, but you can use Resonance Liberation quickly so your DMG output greatly increases.
