== Notes==
* Echo can copy powerful skills with long [[recharge time]]s, doubling the rate at which they can be used.
* Use it to copy skills with short recharge times in order to [[spam]] them, e.g. [[adrenaline]] skills that have any recharge time.
* Combine Echo with [[Arcane Echo]] to create [[Echo chain]]s, allowing you to have three copies of a skill at once. Add [[Arcane Mimicry]] to create multiple copies of a party member's [[elite]].
* Echo will only recharge normally if no skill was copied. If a skill was copied, the copy remains for 30 seconds, after which Echo is [[disable]]d for 10 seconds.
* Use [[Auspicious Incantation]] to help [[energy management|manage energy costs]] (especially since Echo chains consume a lot of energy); the downside is mitigated since the disabled skill gets replaced shortly after.
* To capture Echo from a boss that has just copied a skill, wait 30 seconds (for the effect to wear off) before using your [[Signet of Capture]].
* If used to copy a [[Skill quick reference#Skills that are replaced with other skills|skill that can copy another skill or spell]], the copy [[duration]] of that skill is used and will bypass Echo's 30-second copy duration, but Echo will still be disabled for 10 seconds afterwards.
** E.g., if used to copy [[Arcane Larceny]]/[[Arcane Thievery|Thievery]] with Domination Magic rank 15, whatever spell that is stolen from a foe by the Echo version of Arcane Larceny/Thievery will remain as that stolen spell for 35 seconds and then revert back to Echo.
** E.g., if used to copy Arcane Larceny/Thievery with Domination Magic rank 0, whatever spell that is stolen from a foe by the Echo version of Arcane Larceny/Thievery will remain as that stolen spell for 5 seconds and then revert back to Echo.
*Echo's copying effect triggers first, before the effects of the skill that triggers it. For instance, when used to copy [[Blackout]], the copy is disabled for 5 seconds.
{{anomaly|Echo's description omits the fact that it cannot copy a Signet of Capture and itself.}}

== Trivia ==
* The [[skill icon]] has the same hand silhouette as [[Plague Touch]].
