Woodland Aria
R1Simple ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Aalto, who does not benefit from this weapon's effects triggered upon applying Aero Erosion.
101.0%

Static Mist
R1Best weapon for Hybrid Aalto. Static Mist is a fantastic weapon for Pistol buffers since it provides an ATK% buff to the next character who Intros into the field making it give an extra buff to the Moonlit Clouds Echo set; additionally it provides high Base ATK & CRIT Rate for good personal damage and provides Energy Regen to alleviate Energy costs. Fantastic weapon for buffing characters overall.

Relativistic Jet
R5This weapon is a good 4-star for characters who need extra Energy thanks to its passive which restores some; however while this is the case for Hybrid Aalto, DPS Aalto tends to not need Energy Regen which causes this weapon's effectiveness to dwindle.
85.5%

Undying Flame
R5ATK and Skill DMG stat-stick, pretty simple weapon overall and not too effective for Aalto as a result of its low base stats from being 4-star.
