Hi, my name is Aznvasions. Thanks for checking out my Phrolova worksheet.
DPS and DPR are tracked for each variant.
Phrolova DOES NOT require Cantarella to deal good damage.
In fact, if you are choosing between her Signature or Cantarella, I would ALWAYS recommend her Signature first.
Scroll to bottom of this page if you want to use Lethean Elegy on other characters too.

1) Signature banner is guaranteed, whereas Cantarella banner is 50/50.

2) Cantarella's Outro buffs only increase Phrolova's damage by 20% vs a non-buffing unit.
Cantarella's Echo + Echo Skill casts (1+3) only increase Phrolova's damage by 17-18% (assuming not Sig) vs another character just using Echo (1 cast).
Together, these multiply to only be about 42% extra damage for Phrolova.

3) Phrolova's Signature weapon is a 44-46% improvement over R1 Cosmic Ripples.
The better you play, the better it becomes, because optimized Phrolova wants to minimize slow Basic Attacks, which is what Cosmic Ripples buffs.

Therefore, you can pull Phrolova + Sig, and have an insane unit by raw damage that can fit in any team, OR,
Pull Cantarella, and get identical performance as having her Sig instead, but only if you play Phrolova and Cantarella together.
Therefore, I will always recommend Phrolova Sig over Cantarella for budget-conscious players.

Phrolova S0R0 deals as much raw damage as Carlotta S0R1, and deals 1.5x as much at S0R1.
Is this powercreep? Not really. Phrolova's damage in practice is similar in a team to Cartethyia, or Zani in their ideal teams.
Here is why: Half of Phrolova's damage is off-field, which cannot be buffed by most Amplify Outros.
Therefore, Kuro inflated her raw damage to make up for this, but it also means she is not dependent on teammate's buffs.
It's also why her Signature is so strong, because the Echo% Amplify affects her Maestro mode, which is barely buffed by her teammates usually.

This is also what makes Phrolova so good even outside of Mono-Havoc (Jiyan, Jinhsi, lesser so Zani).
Alternate BiS teammates besides premium also include Havoc Rover (insane, actually best partner for Phrolova after Cantarella/Roccia), Danjin, and sometimes Taoqi.
She has high raw damage irrespective of team synergy, and her Signature can give herself an Outro Amplify-worthy effect on her off-field portion of her rotation.
Of course, mono-Havoc will still have highest DPS due to perfect synergy, but it also means you don't need her premium team.
Havoc Rover comes dangerously close to Roccia as a replacement, and even Cantarella can be somewhat replaced
by Verina/Shorekeeper for Team Amplifies that stick around even on swap.

Use Dream of the Lost on her. It's an insane set and about 15% better ideally, than running 5pc Havoc.
Always go Havoc/Havoc 43311 on Phrolova if you can. She massively dilutes Atk% with Maestro mode granting +120%, causing Havoc/Atk to be ~6-7% DPS loss.
2pc Havoc% is better than 2pc Atk% for the same reason. Phrolova is only 50% Skill damage, so 2pc Skill% is still worse than 2pc Atk%.

Forte Priorities: Inherent Skill 2 (Top) >> Liberation > Basic > Forte >> Intro >> Skill
Her Inherent Skill 2 is what lets her get extra CD% and start with 10 Aftersound.
Substat Priorities: CD > CR (she gets too much already) > Atk% > Skill% > Atk Flat
ER does nothing on her, she does not use Energy to Ult, but produces energy still for the team.

Phrolova has animation cancel tech to significantly speed up her rotation (2-2.5s faster).
This sheet uses Alice_Bites' Phrolova Aftersound Tech when I made the "Main Phrolova Rotations" tab.
Feel free to check out their explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gurkSnZ87Os

Team rankings assume quickswaps are used where obvious.
Sequence math is shown specifically for R1 Lethean Elegy.

I only have S0 math included for comparing all Echo setups, but all viable weapons are included.
Animation cancels are highlighted and explained where relevant.
For full explanation on team rotations, please refer to my Phrolova Guide video releasing soon.

I do not mind if you use my sheets to make copies, just please credit if using for showcases.

-------------------------------------------

Comparing Stringmaster passive vs Lethean Elegy passive for other characters:
Stringmaster brings 12% Attribute Bonus and usually 24% Atk to most units.
This averages to about 11-12% overall damage increase from passive, assuming 100% uptime.

Lethean Elegy brings 12% Atk, and 8% DEF Ignore, which is worth 8-9% overall damage increase from passive.
32% Skill Dmg Bonus ranges between 1-7% extra overall increase depending on if unit is Skill scaling (65%+ piechart), or not.
32% Echo Amplify is worth about 1-1.5% extra overall increase only, as most DPS' Echo damage only makes up 3-5% of their total damage output.
This averages to about 10-18% overall damage increase from passive, depending on if Skill-scaling or not, assuming 100% uptime.
Lethean Elegy is also BiS for Phrolova, who is an insane mainDPS, whereas Stringmaster is Yinlin's BiS, who is a subDPS.

R1 Lethean Elegy is about as good, if not better than R1 Stringmaster as a general Rectifier.
Stringmaster has a 5s buff window that activates and refreshes on Skill damage,
whereas Lethean Elegy has a 12s buff window that activates on Echo cast.
It is easier to upkeep Lethean Elegy, since Echo casts are universal and new ones often don't interrupt, and can also be quickswapped,
whereas not all units can consistently deal Skill damage again within 5s, and most skills interrupt actions.
