Increase Level of 3-Star Echo or Higher
Echoes that have a 3-star rarity or more can be tuned when they are at least level 5. Each time you increase an Echo's level by 5, you unlock one tuning slot. Tuning requires materials called Tuners.

| Gold | 5 Stars Echo |
1 & 2-Star Echoes Cannot be Tuned
The number of times you can tune an Echo depends on its Rarity. Echoes with 2 Stars cannot be Tuned even if their level is increased, so you need to obtain Echoes with 3 stars or higher.
Tune your Echo using Tuners
To perform Echo tuning, you need a Tuner for each different rarity. The number of Tuners required for Tuning is fixed at 10, regardless of the Echo's cost or rarity.
Tuners for each Echo Rarity
| 5 Stars (Gold) | 4 Stars (Purple) | 3 Stars (Blue) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Tuner | Advanced Tuner | Medium Tuner |
Sub Attributes are Unlocked after Tuning
When Tuning is complete, a random Sub Attribute Effect is added. Since you cannot change or enhance a Sub Attribute once it is unlocked, you will need to repeatedly complete quests to farm Echoes and Tuners to get the ideal Sub Attribute.
| Sub Attribute Effect List | |
|---|---|
| Attack (in % or random value) | Defense (in % or random value) |
| HP (in % or random value） | Crit. Rate |
| Crit. DMG | Energy Regen |
| Resonance Skill DMG Bonus | Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus |
| Heavy Attack DMG Bonus | Basic Attack DMG Bonus |
How to Get Tuner Materials
Collect from Tidal Heritage
Tuners needed for Echo tuning can be obtained from star-shaped Tidal Heritage located throughout the map. Most of these are unlocked by defeating nearby enemies, so it's a good idea to collect them if you see one while exploring.
Grinding Tacet Fields
If you want to gather a large amount of Tuners quickly, you can do Tacet Field Cleanup runs. This way you can farm Echoes at the same time, but keep in mind you need to consume Waveplates each time.

Echo Tuning Tips
Get the best Main Attributes before Tuning 5-stars
When you get more rare Echoes, getting Tuners becomes harder, especially for tuning 5-star Echoes. These are not easy to find. Therefore, when tuning 5-star Echoes, prioritize selecting those with the best effects as main attributes.
Preserve Tuners if you're not sure
Even if you don't tune your Echoes, it won't have a big impact on early game progress. So, it's safer to wait until you've progressed a bit in the game and have gathered a collection of Echoes before considering tuning 5-star ones.
