Best Echo set for Encore to build
Here are the 3 main stats that you need to boost Encore potential in team fight: ATK, Crit. Rate, and Crit DMG, so the echo that fit her the most is Inferno Rider with Crit. Rate or Crit DMG as it main stats.
For the 3 cost echo you should choose any echo that has Fusion DMG Bonus as the main stats with Fusion element and for 1 cost you should always aim for ATK.
For the Echo set pattern we recommend building a 4 3 3 1 1 to achieve the Molten Rift sonata effect which will boost Encore DMG after using her Resonance skill.
For the Substats you should always aim for Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK, Energy Regen, and any type of DMG Bonus. We know the Sub stats are random but it boost your character a lot if your luck is right.

Encore Strength in Teamfight
Encore is your main DPS character so most of the fight you will need her to output as much damage as possible during your team rotation.
1. Her Strength is heavily relied on her Resonance liberation and skills, so during team fight you must start with her liberation first to output max damage on the enemy.
2. Energy regen, in order activate Encore's resonance liberation you need energy regen, and if you have good energy regen, one resonance skill should get you up to 30 to 50% energy for the liberation so 2 or 3 resonance skill should be enough to activate Encore's liberation again.
3. Encore's heavy attack is also a huge damage nuke that you can instantly switch to other character and still output continuous damage and when you get enough energy to switch back to Encore you'll also nuke the enemy with her intro skill as well.
4. Encore's Rotation is pretty much needed when your Sub DPS or your Healer has proc her intro skill, by doing that you can extra damage and if you already have her Resonance liberation ready that is where she shine the most combine that with her resonance skill you can easily take down any world bosses.
Character Recommendation
Encore alone is already a very powerful main DPS but if you pair her with a proper sub dps and supporter you will get yourself a powerful team that can easily take down any enemy in Wuthering Waves.
1. Sanhau: Sanhau combo is very powerful once she done her combo of Intro, Resonance Skill, and Heavy attack her concerto energy is almost full to swap back to encore. Plus she's a free to play character that is easy to unlock.
2. Jianxin: Jianxin is another great character to pair with Encore, she provide shield and her ultimate is also powerful which can gather the enemy into close proximity allows encore to use her resonance skill on all of them.
3. Rover (Havoc): This pair allows for fast quick swap from one character to the other character and this is a huge damage output team however you will lacks suriviability.
4. Verina or Baizhi: Having either one of this character as your healer should be good enough to extend your surviving chance against high level boss.
