Sonata Effect: 2x Sierra Gale and 2x Moonlit Clouds

If you lack a 5-piece set with optimal stats for Aalto, consider using Sierra Gale and Moonlit Clouds. This combination provides a balanced boost to Aero DMG and Energy Regen.

Basic Attack and Resonance Skill is the main priority. Next is Forte Circuit, followed by Resonance Liberation, and, lastly, his Intro Skill.

Highest Priority: Basic Attack
Highest Priority: Resonance Skill
High Priority: Forte Circuit
Low Priority: Resonance Liberation
Lowest Priority: Intro Skill

For Aalto, prioritize upgrading his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill, as these are his main damage sources.

Next, focus on his Forte Circuit, which enhances Mist Missile damage.

His Resonance Liberation should be upgraded afterward, as it primarily boosts damage but doesn’t affect the ATK buff from the Gate of Quandry.

Lastly, the Intro Skill is the lowest priority since it doesn’t significantly contribute to Aalto’s overall damage output.

Notable Sequence Nodes are the following:

Best Teams

Best Team

Jiyan Main DPS with Aalto Sub-DPS

Jiyan (Main DPS)
Aalto (Sub-DPS)
Verina (Support, Buffer)

For Aalto, the best team includes Jiyan, as Aalto can significantly enhance Jiyan’s Aero damage output with his Aero DMG Deepen buff, which boosts Jiyan’s entire burst window. While Aalto lacks additional damage synergies and requires more precise positioning and rotation management, he remains a viable option. Additionally, Verina is recommended for her overall utility, providing team-wide ATK and DMG buffs along with healing. In case you don’t have Verina, you can use other healers you have.
