Echoes

Echoes are the core collection and build system. Each Echo is the memory-spirit of a hero who fell during the Shattering. Once bound, an Echo lives inside your Soul Lantern.

Anatomy of an Echo

Part Description
Echo Skill An active ability with a cooldown (8–20 s) that costs Resonance
Echo Passive Always active while the Echo is equipped in any slot
Echo Burst A cinematic ultimate. Only usable by the Lead Echo, and needs 100% Resonance
Aspect Decides the Aspect of its skills
Role Striker, Guardian, Mystic or Trickster (used for Resonance Links)
Bond Level 1–5. Raised by using the Echo and giving it Memory Fragments

Loadout

  • 1 Lead Echo: Skill + Passive + Burst. Your character takes on a visual aura and cosmetic accents from the Lead.
  • 2 Support Echoes: Skill + Passive (Passives at 50% strength). Support slot 2 unlocks at Soul Lantern Lv 2.
  • Resonance Links: specific pairs or trios grant a bonus. Example: Aoi + Kenshiro, called "Twin Blades of Tomari": Gale Step resets on Perfect Step.

Binding Echoes

Source How
Story Fixed Echoes granted at story beats

Echo Seeds Bring a Seed to the Shrine of Remembrance in Hearthport and finish a short memory trial (a 1–2 minute playable flashback) to bind it
Secrets Some Echoes are only found through puzzles or Secret Areas
Events Limited Bloom events (they come back every year, never permanently missable)
