Best Team Recommendations

Ciaccona Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ciaccona	Phoebe	Rover • Aero

Ciaccona's abilities can apply Aero Erosion effects on enemies. When combined with Phoebe, who excels at inflicting Spectro Frazzle, the overlapping elemental effects can trigger more potent damage. Rover · Aero, with his healing and support abilities, can sustain the team while also dealing Aero damage, which synergizes with Ciaccona's damage amplification effects.

*Based on current info, Ciaccona is essentially Cartefia's dedicated support in the 2.4 banner. When paired with the Aero - damage main DPS Cartefia, she creates significant synergy, allowing the team to reach its full potential.

Dot Team

Main DPS	Support	Support
Zani	Phoebe	Ciaccona

This team maximizes Zani's damage output by leveraging her synergy with Ciaccona to accumulate more Spectro Frazzle Effect stacks. However, the absence of a dedicated healer in these team setups may compromise their effectiveness in high-survivability scenarios.

AOE team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jiyan	Jianxin	Ciaccona

Jiyan serves as the main DPS for AoE damage. Combined with Ciaccona's Debuff, he can maximize AoE damage output. Jianxin focuses on monster aggregation and crowd control to enhance Jiyan's output environment. Meanwhile, Ciaccona provides additional Debuffs to boost the team's overall suppression power.

F2P Team

Main DPS	Support	Support
Ciaccona	Rover • Aero	Baizhi

Ciaccona's abilities can apply Aero Erosion on enemies. Rover · Aero can convert negative effects like Spectro Frazzle into Aero Erosion, which synergizes well with Ciaccona's damage output. While, Baizhi provides essential healing and buffs to the team.

 

Pulling Recommendations

Is Ciaccona worth pulling？

So far, she looks like the ultimate support. Given the numerous buffs she provides, there's no doubt that Ciaccona will be a valuable asset for several upcoming characters, especially Cartefia in the 2.4 banner. If you're planning to pull Cartefia, then Ciaccona, as Cartefia's dedicated support, is someone you shouldn't miss out on.

Signature Weapon vs Resonance Chain

Ciaccona's Signature Weapon, the Woodland Aria, is a game-changer for your team. It offers a consistent 12.5% resistance reduction for the entire team and a significant 33.3% resistance decrease in Tower of Doom, outperforming other five-star weapons.

*However, considering Ciaccona's role as Cartefia's dedicated support in the upcoming 2.4 banner, prioritizing resources for Cartefia might be wise if you're aiming to build around the meta. Even at 0+0, Ciaccona is highly effective in most scenarios. If resources allow, upgrading her to 0+1 with her Signature Weapon is recommended.

But ultimately, reserving resources for the upcoming meat character, Cartefia, should be a priority.
