Primal Slaying

[Naria]

Like, if it was SOOO common back in the day, why wasn't Minfillia recruiting a bunch more people all the time? Why couldn't we have formed the Crystal Braves out of people with the Echo and let them go deal with Primals instead of relying entirely on the WoL (You know, with the whole disaster that was not in question)?

A few Path members show up as background Scion npcs early in ARR but I've kinda assumed it is a soft retcon or that many of them died in the Calamity and Hydaelyn just doesn't have the ability to gift the Echo as frequently anymore as she grows weaker. As Iscah said we don't actually meet that many people explicitly said to have the Echo 2.0+.

Also the WoL defends Alisaie and Lyse from being tempered in a CS when Lakshmi is first introduced, presumably we can do that for our non-echo blessed companions to a degree or we have a network of Echo adventures we can call for backup. Take your pick.
