Main Stats

Sub Stats

Glacio Dreadmane Echo Ability

At Rank 5, Glacio Dreadmane’s Echo Ability transforms the user into the Dreadmane, delivering rapid, lacerating strikes that deal 214.40% Glacio DMG per hit. This ability comes with 2 charges and can be activated mid-air, where it gains an additional 20% damage bonus. Upon landing, it summons 6 Icicles that each deal 32.00% Glacio DMG, adding an extra layer of area damage. With a cooldown of 20 seconds, this ability excels in burst damage scenarios and rewards precise timing and aerial execution.

Glacio Dreadmane Sonata Effect

Glacio Dreadmane can trigger one of two Sonata Effects—Freezing Frost or Moonlit Clouds—depending on the set combinations used in the Echo loadout.

With Freezing Frost, the 2-piece effect increases Glacio DMG by 10%, providing a straightforward elemental damage boost that benefits any character relying on consistent Glacio output. The 5-piece effect enhances this further by granting an additional 10% Glacio DMG for 15 seconds after using a Basic Attack or Heavy Attack. This buff stacks up to 3 times, allowing for a maximum bonus of 30% Glacio DMG when maintained properly through continuous attacks. This makes Freezing Frost an optimal choice for Glacio-based Resonators focused on sustained offensive pressure and frequent melee engagements.

Alternatively, Moonlit Clouds focuses on utility and support. The 2-piece set increases Energy Regen by 10%, allowing characters to cycle through their abilities more quickly and maintain higher skill uptime. The 5-piece effect triggers after using an Outro Skill, granting the next Resonator to switch in a 22.5% ATK increase for 15 seconds. This makes Moonlit Clouds particularly effective in coordinated team compositions where quick character swapping and buff handoffs are crucial to maximizing damage during rotations.

Glacio Dreadmane’s compatibility with both Sonata sets allows it to flex between personal damage amplification and team-wide support, depending on the build strategy and combat role of the Resonator equipped with it.
