Best Build per Character

5 Star Combatants

Character	Build Details
Narja	Team: Narja's best team is an improvement of the already existing Mei Lin and Veronica team. Her contribution in this team is a much higher damage buff and constant healing through Voracity. This also enables access to AoE damage with Narja's Mealtime.
Sereniel	Team: Sereniel's best team is Selena and Cassius. Cassius can give Morale buffs that will heavily increase the damage of Sereniel's Homing Lasers and Cobalt Light to deal serious single-target damage while Selena provides more follow-up damage with her marks and restore the enemy tenacity bar for more ravage activation.
Chizuru	Team: Chizuru is best used against single-target enemies because she is capable of stacking hits to her signature card to deal massive damage after a few turns. Therefore, her best team is Rei and Cassius, as both can help her draw cards, thin her deck, and boost her multi-hit attacks to further enhance her damage output.
Yuki	Team: Yuki excels in dealing high AoE Order Damage, but needs characters that help her draw cards and cycle the deck fast to play around her Inspiration mechanics. Veronica and Cassius are the best team for Yuki as both excel in providing draws while dealing significant damage and survivability.
Orlea	Team: Orlea's best team makes use of Beryl's Retain effects to further boost damage output while Maribell provides shields for the team for survivability. Orlea works best in long fights due to her infinite stacking Retain effects that can help you deal more than 1000% damage.
Luke	Team: Luke's best team is Rei and Cassius. Both can provide morale buffs, healing, and card draw to him, which he really needs as he wants additive buffs more than multiplicative buffs. Cassius can especially give Luke more attack cards to fuel his Dance of the Demon card.
Veronica	Team: Veronica's best team is with Magna and Nia. She can deal a ton of damage every end of turn once she can create a lot of ballistas in hand with the help of Nia and her Epiphanized Sir Kowalski card. Magna helps with party protection and AoE damage. She can also fit in any team as a Sub-DPS thanks to her Repose and Sir Kowalski capable of drawing more than 3 cards per turn.
Renoa	Team: Renoa's team allows her to keep on stacking Dirge Bulelts from her hand or her discard pile to use with her Last-Ditch Assault or Black Thorn. This team composition is ideal for dealing high single-target damage, but can also work for normal enemy groups.
Rin	Team: Rin's best team is Rei and Veronica. A lot of Rin's attack cards contain multi-hits based on the number of skill cards you have in hand, Rei will buff the damage of her cards while Veronica helps draw the deck for faster cycling.
Hugo	Team: This team synergizes well with Hugo's Commence the Hunt mechanic, dealing extra damage each time an attack card in used. Use Mika's skill cards to increase the stack of Commence the Hunt, then use Tressa's Shadow Daggers to make Hugo do extra attacks as long as there are stacks of his mechanic.
Kayron	Team: Kayron's best team is Mika and Nia. Kayron alone can provide the damage buffs as he can scale infinitely. He only needs more support such as AP recovery, healing and card draw for him to do his massive single-target damage with his Black Hole or AoE damage with Brand of Annihilation.
Mei Lin	Team: This is the best team in the game and also for Mei Lin once you got all the necessary cards and epiphanies on all characters. Veronica has free damage and draws while Rei provides damage/morale buffs, minor heals and exhausts to thin the deck for a much better deck cycling. Once online, this team can deal up to more than 40k+ damage every turn if played right.
Magna	Team: This is a well-rounded team capable of dealing with any scenarios. Magna's role in this team is for AoE damage and shields. Mika sustains the party with healing, stress reduction, and AP recovery. Haru's only job is to wait for all of her cards until she can use her Anchor Shot at its full power, taking the role of a boss killer.
Khalipe	Team: This team synergizes well with Khalipe's Vulture Ejection card due to Mika's high AP recovery and Beryl's 2-cost Cards. Make sure to always use 2-cost Cards whenever you have Vulture Ejection in your hand to freely use the Shields, Silver Veil, and AoE Damage it provides.
Haru	Team: Haru's best team consists of Mika and Cassius, who support her by providing AP and cycling her cards so she can use Anchor Shot as often as possible. This team is focused on dealing as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time, while maintaining decent survivability.

4 Star Combatants

Character	Build Details
Nia	Team: Nia can fit in any team. However, she can be built based on her gimmick, Decibel and Discards. Renoa and Rei are the best for her because of how well they synergize with her due to how Dirge Bullet works.
Lucas	Team: The best tea for Lucas makes use of Selena and Mika to help cover Single-Target Damage and AP sustain, which Lucas lacks. This well-rounded team is capable of abusing Passion weakness to break enemies and gain even more AP.
Owen	Team: Owen acts as a Sub-DPS to Mei Lin as his Wind Charge is utilized to increase the attacks of Mei Lin's Rising Dragon Spire. The setup is completed by Mika that allows the build to use up to 4 AP.
Cassius	Team: Cassius has the ability to draw cards and lets you choose a specific card from the draw pile, opening up more opportunities for combos. His best team is Mika and Tressa that perfectly profits off his Triple 0 quest resulting to near infinite 0 cost attack cards, scaling damage and high amounts of agony stacks.
Mika	Team: TBD Mika has a wide selection of cards that can restore the team’s HP and sustain their AP, making her one of the best supports in game.
Amir	Team: Amir's best team consists of Khalipe and Mika, and it revolves around the celestial tag to chain-activate high-cost cards, where Amir aims to do single-target damage with Metalize and AoE damage plus shields to help activate Metalize with Khalipe. Mika helps with AP recovery to help mitigate the high AP cost of the celestial cards.
Beryl	Team: Beryl's best team consists of Orlea for her ability to activate the retain effect on Beryl's attack cards to boost their damage further, while Mika acts as the support for HP and AP sustain.
Rei	Team: The best team for Rei consists of a main DPS and healer to enable her Attack Buffs and maximize the damage output of our team. Renoa will make use of Rei's damage buffs, while Mika will help sustain the team through healing and AP recovery.
Selena	Team: After Sereniel's release, Selena's best team is her and Cassius. Selena's goal in this team is to restore the enemy tenacity bar, which she can only do by reactivating ravage effects for Sereniel to capitalize on. Cassius, on the other hand, provides everything such as card draw, attacks, morale buffs, and healing.
Maribell	Team: Maribell's best team consists of Mika with her Blessing of Waves shield based on healing epiphany and Magna with her shield gain from crystallization and AoE counterattacks. Maribell has two path, accumulating shields for Shelter Strike or stacking counterattacks, then using Maribell Shelter Mk.II
Tressa	Team: Tressa's current best team is Mika and Cassius, where it revolves around generating multiple copies of Shadow Dagger when Mika uses her cheap heals then Cassius generates a lot of card draw, morale buffs or attack cards through the Triple 0 quest. This will result in a lot of Agony stacking and Triple 0 dealing a lot of damage due to multiple usage of 0-cost cards in one turn.

Rei is so bad I get her kit sounds good I cannot fathom swapping anyone for her she’s so slow to build up I’ve built her and have her +6 and still very inconsistent Veronica and a healer are your best go tbh. Veronica’s draws are so much better and she’s consistent in her dps please Rei sucks I hate that she’s always in team comp recommendations
