Team Building Guide

Choose your main DPS Unit

DPS Role

The first thing you'll need to focus on is a single unit that you'll dedicate to be the team's main source of damage. DPS is the archetype that focuses on this role and they can output high amounts of damage given they are able to capitalize on their card mechanics and traits.

Learn What Your Main DPS Need

Every Combatant in the game has a different style of gameplay and needs. Some DPS relies on getting combo pieces in hand while others require you to trigger attacks so they can execute their follow ups which are their main source of damage. Understand what every character needs before considering other units to add to your team.

Choose Units That Can Cover a DPS' Needs

Card Synergy

The next step would be to choose 1-2 characters that will play around the DPS' main gimmick. For example, a unit like Renoa likes to gain as much Dirge Bullet so consider getting units that can draw cards or get her cards from your draw pile into your hand. Also consider units that can discard cards as this will let Renoa trigger her bullets while using a different character's card.

Choose A Unit that Can Sustain The Team

The last piece is a unit that can still cover a unit's needs while providing a way to fend off enemy aggression. Units that can shield can let you reduce damage taken in a turn or a unit like Mika that can heal damage taken while providing extra AP will work well as a defensive support unit.

Support Needs: Card draws and additional passion cards to further increase her combo count. Mark also lets other units provide more damage during Mei Lin's combo

Mei Lin is a combo unit that can further extend her hit count by using more passion cards. Due to this numerous amount of hit counts, sub DPS units that can apply mark can further extend her damage output to obliterate high HP targets.

AP generators are also great to have to ensure that Mei Lin and other passion units like Selena can use their passion cards to help Mei Lin's combo game.

Beryl Beryl
Haru Orlea

DPS Needs: Units that require card draws, AP hungry units that prefer to use their own cards rather than Beryl's own charged cards.

Hugo Kayron Selena

DPS Needs: Units that require card draws, AP hungry units that prefer to use their own cards rather than Beryl's own charged cards.

Tressa's main gimmick is being able to use multiple 0-cost cards to trigger attacks on enemies. This works well with units that wants other units to attack to trigger their own mechanics such as Hugo and Selena. She also works well with units that wants exhaust mechanics to activate their own effects such as Kayron's cards and Futility gameplan.

Maribell

Character Team Members
Maribell Maribell
Magna Amir Mika

DPS Needs: Units that rely on shield activation as well as counters. She also works well with units that have Celestial as she can easily apply additional costs to her cards via Epiphanies.

DPS Needs: Units capable of hitting multiple times while also benefitting from card fetch/draws, exhaust/deck thinning.
