While no completely free path exists, you can significantly reduce costs:
Daily Missions
Yield: 10-17 Echoes/day
7-day total: 70-119 Echoes
Strategy: Complete all four tasks before 24-hour reset; prioritize high-Echo rewards
Ranked Matches
Yield: 20-50 Echoes per 3 matches (based on rank tier)
7-day total: 140-350 Echoes
Pro tips:
Play peak hours (19:00-23:00 UTC+8) for faster matchmaking
Focus on win rate for tier bonuses
Complete exactly 3 matches daily for max efficiency

Logic Path Rewards
Seasonal yield: 1000-1200 Echoes

Benefit: 2x Echo value on first transaction

Echo Purchase Strategy
Package vs Direct Purchase
Fluttering Heart Package (2688 Echoes):
Blooming Augury S-Tier (2888 value)
Lovesick Heart A-Tier (1068 value)
Total standalone value: 3956 Echoes
Savings: 1268 Echoes (32%)
Never purchase items separately if you want both. For S-Tier only, direct Illusion Hall purchase (2888 Echoes) is necessary.

Fragment Path Analysis
Accumulation Rates
Fragments earned through:
Duplicate essence items: 60-120 per duplicate
Daily logins: 20-40 on specific days
Seasonal events: 500-1000 from completion
Deduction Stars: 100-300 per milestone
Reaching 12888 Fragments requires months of saving without spending on other items.
Opportunity Cost
12888 Fragments eliminates ability to purchase:
4-5 A-Tier costumes (2888-3888 each)
10+ B-Tier accessories (888-1288 each)
Multiple characters (3388 each)
For collection-focused players, this often exceeds the real-money value of 2888 Echoes.
Hybrid Strategy (Recommended)
Farm all free Echoes (600-900 over 7 days)
Use first-time bonus if applicable (2x multiplier)
Purchase only the deficit
Example: Farm 800 Echoes → need 1888 more (944 with first-time bonus). Minimizes real-money cost while guaranteeing acquisition.

Post-Event Information
Future Availability
Valentine's exclusives typically return in next year's event (Valentine's 2027) but with modified conditions. Some S-Tier costumes enter permanent Illusion Hall 6-12 months later at full price without discounts—not confirmed for Valentine's items.
Leftover Currency
Unused Echoes and Fragments never expire. Use excess for:
Spring seasonal events (March-April)
New character unlocks
Essence purchases
Future Valentine's events
Budget monthly Echo purchases across multiple events rather than exhausting reserves on one.
Troubleshooting
Purchase Delays

Wait 15 minutes for server sync

Verify Shop → Transaction Records
Contact support with transaction ID after 1 hour
