Encore's Best Weapon Explained
Cosmic Ripple is by far the best weapon that benefits Encore's Basic Attack DPS playstyle heavily. The Energy Regen bonus that comes with the weapon effect also increases the uptime of Encore's Ultimate where she deals the most damage.
Encore Best Teams
Encore Time Stop Team
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Encore | Rover (Spectro) | Any Healer Character |
This team composition revolves around Encore dealing as much damage as possible while the enemy is under the Rover's Time Stop outro skill. This maximizes Encore's free hit chance especially after activating her Ultimate.
The healer slot can be filled by Verina, but Baizhi will suffice if you don't have her.
General Rotation
| 1 | Rover starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until other character's Resonator icons glow up. |
|---|---|
| 2 | When Encore's is fully charged, switch with Encore. The Time Stop outro skill of the Rover should trigger, slowing down time for 3s. |
| 3 | Use Encore's Resonance Skill to deal damage. If available, use her Ultimate to enter berserk mode where Encore deals a lot of damage. Also, use the equipped echo when it is off cooldown. |
| 4 | Switch with Rover again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged. If you need healing, switch with your healer and use their healing skill for a quick heal. |
| 5 | Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled. |
Encore DPS-Buffed Team
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Encore | Yangyang Sanhua | Any Healer Character |
This team composition focuses on buffing Encore's overall performance in battle using extremely useful Outro Skills of the Sub-DPS characters. Choosing Yangyang will funnel energy towards Encore so she can use her Resonance Liberation Ultimate more frequently. Sanhua on the other hand will increase the Basic Attack damage dealt by Encore when she is switched after Sanhua.
General Rotation
| 1 | The Sub-DPS starts the battle and the Concerto Energy until other character's Resonator icons glow up. |
|---|---|
| 2 | When Encore's is fully charged, switch with Encore. The outro skill of either Yangyang or Sanhua should trigger, providing energy or basic attack deepen to Encore. |
| 3 | Use Encore's Resonance Skill to deal damage. If available, use her Ultimate to enter berserk mode where Encore deals a lot of damage. Also, use the equipped echo when it is off cooldown. |
| 4 | Switch with the Sub-DPS again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged. If you need healing, switch with your healer and use their healing skill for a quick heal. |
| 5 | Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled. |
How to Play Encore
| Encore Gameplay Guide |
|---|
|
|
Encore Can Parry in Normal Form
While difficult to execute, Encore can actually parry enemy attacks in her normal form, using her third Basic Attack, as shown above.
The key to successfully landing the parry is to start the Basic Attack chain a second before the yellow circle shows up on your screen.
With this, you have to know which of the enemy's moves can be parried!
Use Basic Attacks in Normal Form
While you are still charging Resonance Energy in order to use your Ultimate, Encore's main source of damage should be her 5-part Basic Attack chain.
Dodge Cancel the Final Attack
To land Encore's Basic Attack chain a bit faster, dodge in any direction when the white aura around Encore appears, as shown in the video. This allows you to land Basic Attack: Wooly Strike without committing to the full animation.
Use Resonance Skill in Normal Form
While in Encore's normal form, you can also use her Resonance Skill to deal damage. Note that you can trigger a follow-up attack when you press the Resonance Skill button again when the white aura around her appears.
Immediately Use Encore's Ultimate
Encore deals the most damage when she uses her Ultimate, allowing her to enter the Cosmos Rave state. During Cosmos Rave, almost all of Encore's ability will be enhanced.
Use Enhanced Basic Attack
During Cosmos Rave, Encore transforms into a melee DPS and her Basic Attack gets enhanced. Like her normal Basic Attack, the enhanced version can also be shortened by dodge cancelling before it ends.
As shown in the video above, dodge right before the big sheep appears on your screen!
Resonance Skill is Different
Encore's Resonance Skill will also be enhanced in Cosmos Rave. Use her Resonance Skill whenever it is available!
Use Heavy Attack When Forte is Full
When Encore's Forte Gauge is fully charged, use her Heavy Attack by long pressing the button for Encore's Basic Attack.
While Encore charges the Heavy Attack, swap out to a different character since it takes time to charge. Doing this will not cancel the attack and when it is done, just swap back to Encore.
Do Not Immediately Use in Ultimate Form
Never use Encore's charged Heavy Attack during her Ultimate since it will end the Cosmos Rave state immediately. Only use it before Cosmos Rave is about to end.

Encore Forte and Skill Priority
Skill Tree Priority
| Forte | Priority |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | ★★☆☆☆ |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★★☆ |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★☆ |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★★ |
| Intro Skill | ★☆☆☆☆ |
Forte Priority Explanations
| Forte | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Even though Encore will be consistently using her Basic Attacks, you'll want to use the empowered versions from her Resonance Liberation instead. You'll still want to upgrade this, but it's a low priority when compared to everything else. |
| Resonance Skill | Encore's Resonance Skill should be leveled alongside her Forte Circuit since they're her secondary sources of damage whenever her Ult isn't active. Once you're done upgrading her Ult, focus on these two skills next. |
| Forte Circuit | As mentioned earlier, you'll want to level up Encore's Forte Circuit alongside her Resonance Skill since they're her secondary sources of damage whenever her Ult isn't active. |
| Resonance Liberation | Encore maximizes her damage output when she has her Ultimate active. Prioritize upgrading this skill above everything else since it's the most important ability in her kit. |
| Intro Skill | While her Intro Skill isn't bad, it's still the lowest priority upgrade since it isn't an integral part to her damage output. |

Encore Resonance Chain
Recommended Sequence Nodes
| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| S1 | ★★★★★ - Amazing This is an amazing upgrade to get if since the DMG Bonus will proc on both her regular and Resonance Liberation enhanced Basic Attacks. Even though the stacks aren't permanent, the buff will almost always be active with how many basic attacks Encore uses. |
| S2 | ★★☆☆☆ - Okay This is an okay Sequence Node to unlock since Encore is very reliant on having her Ult active. Even though there are other ways to get Resonance Energy, having an extra source of Resonance Energy Regen will allow Encore to use equipment that have more offensive stats instead of ones with Energy Regen%. |
| S3 | ★★★☆☆ - Good Since her Forte Skill is one of her secondary sources of damage outside of her ult, this is a good upgrade to unlock so that she won't fully reliant on her Resonance Liberation. |
| S4 | ★★★★☆ - Great Encore already gets a solid Fusion DMG Bonus from her first Sequence Node, and being able to further increase that Bonus with this upgrade will make her even stronger. This buff also benefits other Fusion characters on her team, like a Sub-DPS Mortefi for example. |
| S5 | ★★★☆☆ - Good Similar to her S3 upgrade, her Resonance Skill is her other secondary source of damage, making this a good upgrade to get so that she isn't fully reliant on her Resonance Liberation. |
| S6 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Her S6 upgrade is amazing when compounded on top of every other upgrade you have. In a vacuum it would be considered great at best, but when stacked on top of the other buffs and damage bonuses she gets, this Sequence Node will make Encore a terrifying threat on the battlefield. |
All Sequence Node Effects
| S1 | Wooly's Fairy TaleWhen Basic Attack hits a target, Encore's Fusion DMG Bonus is increased by 3%, stacking up to 4 times for 6s. |
|---|---|
