Here are recommendations from the Summoner Community Guide:

"The general idea is to try and sync each of your 2 non-pet damage skills with either your & combo or . Whichever you pick depends on your preference and your tripods/gems.

Early on we recommend + as it is the combo that is the easiest to pull off both in terms of tripod requirements and skill.

For starters it is recommended to try and sync with

And with your & combo.

It is a bit scuffed without any tripod levels but there is no better option. You will need some level 3+ tripods for this combo to start feeling really smooth."

In early game, the recommended sets are the following:

Argos Gear: Preordained set (crit rate set).

Legendary Valtan & Vykas: Beast set (additional damage % set).

Relic Valtan & Vykas: Charm, Salvation or Hallucination.

Here are insights from the Summoner Community Guide:

"Charm set (1445-1540): is the highest early damage set that has very little reliance on gems and tripods, this is ideal to take early on until you gain effective tripods and gems. This set falls off after 1540+/ancient gear level. HOWEVER, the Charm set does have an end game build variant that can compete with both Salvation and Hallucination. We will discuss this variant later on in the builds section.

Salvation set(1490+): is a direct upgrade over Charm once you have obtained level 4-5 tripods, higher level gems, and higher level relic sets. This is also a viable end game build set up for people who cannot achieve all the requirements for Hallucination. Salvation can be used earlier but is generally recommended to do your own testing beforehand to make sure you are doing acceptable damage relative to charm.

Hallucination set(1540+): is a side-grade over Salvation. It is the highest potential build but it requires the absolute max stats and gear and is only recommended to be played after 1540+ once you have a correct bracelet and high gear."
