Capitaneus Echo Ability (Skill)
The Capitaneus Echo ability summons a Capitaneus that leaps into the air and slams down, dealing powerful area damage. At Rank 5, the initial smash inflicts 118.80% Spectro DMG, followed by the generation of four Merciless Judgements, each dealing an additional 59.40% Spectro DMG. When equipped in the main Echo slot, it enhances the Resonator with a 12.00% Spectro DMG Bonus and a 12.00% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, significantly boosting characters who rely on these damage types. The skill has a cooldown of 20 seconds, making it a strong and reliable burst option in combat rotations.
Possible Sonata Effects
Eternal Radiance (Spectro-focused – Best synergy with Capitaneus)
2-Piece Set Bonus:
Increases Spectro DMG by 10%.
This boosts all Spectro-type damage, including the main Echo skill and any Spectro-based abilities from the Resonator.
5-Piece Set Bonus:
Inflicting Spectro Frazzle on enemies increases Crit Rate by 20% for 15 seconds.
Greatly enhances Zani’s or any Spectro character’s ability to land critical hits during their main damage windows.
Attacking enemies with 10 stacks of Spectro Frazzle grants an additional 15% Spectro DMG Bonus for 15 seconds.
Offers significant burst potential when the Spectro Frazzle mechanic is fully utilized.
Gusts of Welkin (Aero-focused – Less relevant for Capitaneus)
2-Piece Set Bonus:
Increases Aero DMG by 10%.
Best suited for Aero-element Resonators; not optimal for Spectro-focused builds.
5-Piece Set Bonus:
Inflicting Aero Erosion increases Aero DMG for all team members by 15%, and for the triggering Resonator by an additional 15%, lasting 20 seconds.
Strong teamwide buff for Aero compositions, but not synergistic with Capitaneus’s Spectro nature.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)
What does Capitaneus’s Echo Ability do?
Capitaneus transforms the user into Capitaneus, dealing Spectro DMG in a sweeping AoE. The attack is especially useful for clearing groups of enemies and scaling with Spectro-related damage buffs.
Can Capitaneus be used on other Resonators?
Yes. Any character that relies on Spectro DMG, Heavy Attacks, or both can benefit from Capitaneus. However, its full value shines most with kits that scale from both.
How do I obtain Capitaneus?
Capitaneus Echoes drop from the Capitaneus boss found in the overworld or during Tacet Field Cleanups. As an Elite Echo, it may require several runs to acquire a high-stat version.
