Blazing Brilliance
R1BestChangli's signature weapon that's not only fantastic for her but also usable on all damage-focused Sword users who have a large portion of their damage originating from Resonance Skill damage. Offers a huge main stat of CRIT DMG% granting excellent scaling, 12% permanent ATK% and up to 56% increased Resonance Skill DMG% which should be at or close to full power during the bulk of your rotation when opening with one or two resonance skills.

Red Spring
R1Camellya's signature weapon is usable by all Basic Attack focused Sword wielding characters, but clearly designed with her in mind due to a lot of its power locked behind spending Concerto mid-rotation, something only Camellya can do. Offers a decent amount of ATK%, CRIT RATE% and Basic Attack DMG for all characters but a huge Basic Attack DMG bonus after spending Concerto.

Emerald of Genesis
R1Outstanding Sword choice, offering significantly higher base damage due to its 5★ rarity, as well as a stackable ATK% buff almost every character can effortlessly get 1 stack of (but with 2 also being easily achievable by most when played correctly). Additionally has a good amount of Energy Regen, which on most characters will allow one sub-stat of Energy Regen to be allocated elsewhere to increase damage even further. Best Sword choice across the board with only S5 4★ Swords having a chance to compete with it.

Commando of Conviction
R5Exceptional all-around generic Sword gaining its bonus close to unconditionally as most Resonators almost always aim to make use of their Intro skill and very few characters spend more than 15 seconds on field during their duration.

Endless Collapse
R5Often inferior to Commando of Conviction for DPS, this sword is still a great F2P 4* option for characters who need the energy boost. Realistically however, only consider this option over Commando of Conviction if you have energy problems on your character.

Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Moonlit Clouds
Offers a 10% unconditional Energy Regen% boost taking some pressure off your gear when aiming at ER breakpoints. Also upon using Outro, grants the next character switching in a 22.5% ATK boost, amplifying any of your main damage dealers burst windows.

5-Piece Sonata
Midnight Veil
Offers a 10% unconditional Havoc DMG% boost alongside adding a large Havoc Damage hit to the Outro of the wearer. Also grants the incoming resonator a Havoc DMG% boost when the wearer uses their Outro. The set is better than Moonlit Clouds if and only if the equipped character's Echoes have endgame investment (with 9 or 10 CRIT substats total) and the character has a 5-star weapon equipped. If both conditions aren't met, Moonlit Clouds is a better choice.
