Best 5-Star Character Party Setup

Best Teams for Xilonen

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support
Xilonen	Neuvillette	Furina	Kazuha
Xilonen	Arlecchino	Kazuha	Bennett
Xilonen	Navia	Xiangling	Bennett
Xilonen	Mualani	Emilie	Xiangling

Xilonen works as a debuffer, with the same overlaps as Kazuha's best teams. Depending on the situation, should you need healing and easier RES shred application over Kazuha's AoE damage and grouping, Xilonen is the better pick as your debuffer. Moreover, Geo-units like Navia also benefit from her, which Kazuha cannot do.

A Xilonen-Kazuha combo for Hypercarries like Neuvillette or Arlecchino can also work so long as they're not reliant on reactions.

Best Teams for Kinich

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Kinich	Emilie	Xiangling	Bennett
Kinich	Nahida	Thoma	Xingqiu

Kinich wants Burning or Burgeon teams to satisfy the conditions of both his Passive Talent and signature weapon. For Burning teams, Emilie with any other Pyro off-field options like Xiangling, Thoma, or Dehya, as long as they can apply it regularly, are best for such teams.

Best Teams for Mualani

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Mualani	Xiangling	Kazuha	Bennett
Mualani	Emilie	Xiangling	Zhongli

Mualani is best for forward Vaporize, which means that she needs to be the one triggering the Vaporize reaction after every Sharky's Bite. If Xiangling is already preoccupied to another team, you may also use other Pyro options like Dehya, Thoma, or Xinyan as long as there are no other elements that can disrupt the reaction.

Best Teams for Emilie

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Emilie	Kinich	Xiangling	Bennett
Emilie	Wriothesley	Xiangling	Bennett

Emilie is a Sub-DPS that performs best on Burning-related teams like Burn-Melt, Burn-Vaporize, or regular Burning with Kinich. If Xiangling or Bennett are already used on other teams, you may use other Pyro options like Dehya or Thoma depending on your Main DPS option.

Best Teams for Sigewinne

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support
Sigewinne	Navia	Chiori	Furina
Sigewinne	Yae Miko	Fischl	Nahida
Sigewinne	Nahida	Raiden	Furina

Sigewinne's best teams typically consist of Furina due to her synergy to provide heals and improve off-field Elemental Skill abilities. Having her run with other party members who can utilize these buffs like Yae Miko or Nahida is recommended.

Best Teams for Clorinde

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Clorinde	Fischl	Nahida	Kazuha
Clorinde	Fischl	Chevreuse	Thoma
Clorinde	Nahida	Furina	Baizhu

Clorinde is a very flexible DPS who can be run into Aggravate, Hyperbloom, Chevreuse Overloaded, or Electro-Charged team comps so long as there's someone who can battery her Elemental Burst.

As Clorinde doesn't have innate interruption resistance, shielders are more recommended than healers.

Best Teams for Arlecchino

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Arlecchino	Kazuha	Xingqiu	Bennett
Arlecchino	Yelan	Bennett	Zhongli
Arlecchino	Fischl	Chevreuse	Bennett
Arlecchino	Kazuha	Xiangling	Bennett

Arlecchino can run standard Pyro-teams like Vaporize, Overloaded with Chevreuse, or Mono-Pyro without any extreme differences in overall damage. Running a shielder like Zhongli, Thoma, or Layla is also recommended as Arlecchino needs interruption resistance.

Best Teams for Chiori

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Chiori	Itto	Gorou	Zhongli
Chiori	Navia	Furina	Bennett
Chiori	Hu Tao	Yelan	Zhongli

Chiori works similarly with Albedo in that she can function on any teams as an off-fielder Sub-DPS. She works best if there's another Geo for the resonance bonus, and superb at creating Crystallize shards for Navia (although having C1 would be optimal in such a team).

Best Teams for Albedo

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Albedo	Itto	Gorou	Zhongli
Albedo	Navia	Xiangling	Bennett
Albedo	Hu Tao	Zhongli	Xingqiu

Albedo works as an off-field damage dealer for any team comps, esecially on Mono-Geo or Double-Geo parties with Navia, Hu Tao, or Itto. He can also give free particles and Crystallize shards as long as there's another Element in the team.

Best Teams for Kazuha

Sub DPS/ Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Kazuha	Tartaglia	Xiangling	Bennett
Kazuha	Neuvillette	Furina	Baizhu
Kazuha	Ayaka	Shenhe	Kokomi

Kazuha is a universal buffer for any teams that has a Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro DPS. Because he is able to swirl two Elements at once, dual-DPS teams such as with Tartaglia and Xiangling will be able to get both buffs from Kazuha, which translates to even more team damage!

Best Teams for Xianyun

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support
Xianyun	Gaming	Furina	Bennett
Xianyun	Diluc	Furina	Bennett
Xianyun	Xiao	Furina	Faruzan

Xianyun can work on all characters who have a high plunging attack scaling, apart from the obvious synergy with Gaming and Xiao's plunging-focus kit. The character who have the highest scaling so far in 4.4 is Diluc.

As Xianyun covers both the support and healer role, having Furina and other buffers like Bennett and Faruzan are good to make your hypercarry skyrocket in DPS!

Best Teams for Navia

Main DPS Navia

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Navia	Chiori	Furina	Bennett
Navia	Zhongli	Xiangling	Bennett
Navia	Fischl	Ningguang	Xingqiu

Navia generally prefers two Geo characters as the Geo Resonance effect is a powerful bonus, and it gives her the much needed energy to use her burst off-cooldown. For the last two slots, any off-fielders who can create Crystallize shards are best.

You can also use Furina in the team, but note that you need a party healer like Charlotte, to make the most of her buffs.

Sub DPS Navia

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Navia	Noelle	Yelan	Furina

Should you wish to adopt a quickswap playstyle for Navia, slotting her as a Sub-DPS in a double-Geo team comp with Noelle or other general Main DPS is good. With Furina and Yelan, both of them can generate enough Crystallize shards so that when Navia gets back on-field, she can immediately shoot!

Best Teams for Furina

Sub DPS/ Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Furina	Neuvillette	Kazuha	Baizhu
Furina	Hu Tao	Xianyun	Yelan
Furina	Wriothesley	Kazuha	Charlotte

Furina excels at buffing characters who have HP fluctuations in their kit, but she also opens up new playstyles for existing characters who don't have this ability, letting them equip niche weapons and the Marechaussee Hunter artifact set.

Best Teams for Wriothesley

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Wriothesley	Xingqiu	Kazuha	Shenhe
Wriothesley	Furina	Kazuha	Charlotte
Wriothesley	Nahida	Kazuha	Thoma

Wriothesley's strength is his flexibility towards multiple Cryo-related reactions except Superconduct. If you want to work on his personal damage, slot-in Melt teams to amplify his damage, provided that you can reliably set it up off-field with either pure Pyro or Burning.

Best Teams for Neuvillette

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Support
Neuvillette	Kazuha	Furina	Baizhu
Neuvillette	Kazuha	Furina	Charlotte
Neuvillette	Fischl	Sucrose	Zhongli

Neuvillette, in the current patch, wants three types (or two if you have his C1) of Hydro-related Elemental Reactions (including Bloom, Swirl, and Crystallize) to proc his damage amp passive.

As long as you have supports who can reliably trigger such reactions off-field like Fischl, buff his damage like Kazuha or Mona, and help his interruption resistance through Zhongli or Layla's shields, you have a solid team for a Neuvillette-focused team.

Best Teams for Venti

Sub DPS/ Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Venti	Ayaka	Kokomi	Shenhe
Venti	Ayato	Fischl	Bennett

Venti excels at all types of content that involve multiple lightweight enemies, such as Hilichurls, Treasure Hoarders, and some Fatui enemies. On those cases, you can slot-in any team comp that has AoE and can use the RES shred for Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo reactions.

Some examples include Ayaka or Ganyu Freeze, and Ayato Electro-Charged or Vaporize.

Best Teams for Zhongli

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support
Zhongli	Hu Tao	Yelan	Xingqiu
Zhongli	Itto	Albedo	Gorou

Zhongli is extremely flexible to fit in almost all team comps that need comfort from his strong and durable shields. Not only can he shield but he can also reduce all Elemental and Physical resistance, making him the only support so far who can give this free and easy-to-activate buff!

Should you wish to build him as a Sub-DPS, you may sacrifice HP artifacts and weapons for classic CRIT damage stats instead.

Best Teams for Lyney

Mono-Pyro Lyney

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS/ Support	Sub DPS/ Support
Lyney	Xiangling	Bennett	Furina
Lyney	Dehya	Bennett	Kazuha
Lyney	Xiangling	Bennett	Zhongli

Lyney excels the most in a mono-Pyro team because of his ascension passive. You only need two extra characters to utilize its effects, so you can slot in a buffer like Kazuha or another defensive option like Zhongli to increase his performance.

Best Teams for Baizhu

Support Baizhu

Support	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Baizhu	Neuvillette	Kazuha	Furina
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Raiden	Yelan
Baizhu	Nahida	Nilou	Xingqiu

Baizhu is a great comfort support for all Dendro-related reactions, namely Quicken, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon. He also frees up healer or shielder slots, giving you access to other damage dealers or supports.

Best Teams for Dehya

Dehya Sub DPS and Support

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Dehya	Lyney	Xiangling	Kazuha
Dehya	Ganyu	Nahida	Bennett
Dehya	Hu Tao	Xingqiu	Yelan

By focusing on Dehya's Elemental Skill utility, she can be slotted into team comps that require off-field Pyro damage and interruption resistance.

Parties that fit both of these criterias are a Ganyu Burning/Melt team and a Doubly Hydro Hu Tao team.

Main DPS Dehya

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Support
Dehya	Ganyu	Shenhe	Bennett
Dehya	Kazuha	Kokomi	Bennett
Dehya	Xiangling	Kazuha	Bennett

Dehya can be used as a Main DPS if she has proper support buffers. Her damage multipliers are a bit lackluster without good supports, so it's very important that she has the right teammates for the job.

For Elemental Reaction teams, Dehya can use EM% Main Stats instead of ATK% or HP% if she can consistently trigger Elemental Reactions.

Best Teams for Alhaitham

Main DPS Alhaitham

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Alhaitham	Nahida	Yelan	Shinobu
Alhaitham	Thoma	Nahida	Xingqiu

With his infused Dendro attacks, Alhaitham becomes an amazing enabler for creating Dendro Cores in Hyperbloom and Burgeon teams.

Spread Alhaitham

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Alhaitham	Nahida	Yae Miko	Shinobu

Alhaitham can also be played as a typical Quicken DPS by triggering Spread damage. This also enables his off-field electro teammates to trigger Aggravate.

Best Teams for Wanderer

Shielded Wanderer

Faruzan and Bennett's buffs from their Elemental Bursts combined with the Pyro Resonance allows the Wanderer to deal a lot of Pyro Swirls and tons of Anemo DMG.

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Bennett	Zhongli
Wanderer	Faruzan	Bennett	Thoma

The Wanderer's defense isn't as good as his offense due to his low base HP. Thanks to shielders like Zhongli or Layla, the Wanderer can safely attack without having to necessarily dodge mid-air.

Double Pyro DPS Wanderer

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Xiangling	Bennett
Wanderer	Xingqiu	Xiangling	Bennett

Faruzan and Bennett's buffs from their Elemental Bursts combined with the Pyro Resonance allows the Wanderer to maximize the ATK bonus while also dealing decent damage.

You can opt for a Hydro character instead of Faruzan to combine it with the Vaporize Reaction.

Taser Wanderer

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Wanderer	Faruzan	Yelan	Shinobu
Wanderer	Fischl	Beidou	Kokomi

This Wanderer team comp specializes in taking out mobs thanks to a combination of the Electro-charged and Swirl reactions which can hit multiple enemies in a wide AoE.

Best Teams for Nahida

Aggravate/Spread Nahida

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Nahida	Cyno	Fischl	Baizhu
Nahida	Alhaitham	Yae Miko	Shinobu

Nilou's excellent off-field Dendro DPS is perfect for her role as a Sub-DPS in Quicken Teams. Enabling the Quicken Aura on enemies will let Electro characters deal more damage through Aggravate reactions!

Hyperbloom Nahida

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Nahida	Alhaitham	Yelan	Shinobu
Nahida	Cyno	Xingqiu	Baizhu

Similarly, Nahida is also a great off-field Dendro DPS for Hyperbloom teams. You will want to use units that apply weak Electro Auras on enemies to prevent any disruption to the Hydro or Dendro Aura.

Main DPS Nahida

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Nahida	Yelan	Raiden	Baizhu
Nahida	Nilou	Baizhu	Kokomi

Nahida is excellent for creating Dendro Cores. With Dendro Cores on the field, you will simply need an Electro character who can periodically deal Electro damage to trigger the Hyperbloom reaction without overwriting the Hydro Aura or Dendro Aura on enemies.

Best Team for Nilou

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Nilou	Nahida	Collei	Kokomi
Nilou	Nahida	Furina	Baizhu
Nilou	Nahida	Candace	Yaoyao

Nilou's best role is as a Sub-DPS who enables Bountiful Core reactions. Her best team is composed of Kokomi, Yelan, and the Dendro Traveler. You can substitute Kokomi with Barbara since she accomplishes the same role of applying Hydro on enemies.

You will always need a healer for Nilou's team, so Kokomi and Barbara are currently your only real choices.

Best Team for Cyno

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Cyno	Xingqiu	Nahida	Baizhu

Alternative Character Options

Cyno's team should be focused around enhancing his Electro Normal Attack damage by applying Dendro on the enemy. However, he can also work in Electro-Charged team comps!

This Tighnari Team comp focuses on triggering the Spread Dendro reaction to all of his high damaging attacks. It's important not to use characters who interfere with this reaction Dendro reaction, so Hydro and Pyro are off-limits.

Ayato	Fischl	Venti	Bennett

Alternative Character Options

Strong Hydro Normal Attacks

Kamisato Ayato's main source of damage is his normal attacks. His Elemental Skill enhances this further by imbuing it with the Hydro Element, making it easy to trigger Elemental Reactions such as Freeze with a Cryo character.

Use Characters that Buff Normal Attacks

If you want to increase Ayato's personal damage, it is ideal to pair him with characters that can buff it even further. Yun Jin can buff his normal attack damage with her Elemental Burst while Rosaria can increase Crit Rate when using her Elemental Burst.

Best Team for Yae Miko

Yae Miko found new light with the release of Dendro, and so she works best with teams that thrive with Aggravate, Spread, or even Hyperbloom.

Build around the Geo Resonance

When using Itto as the Main DPS, it is highly recommended to have multiple Geo characters to activate the Geo Resonance buff. This will increase shield strength as well as overall damage dealt when shielded.

Best Team for Sangonomiya Kokomi

Main DPS / Support	Main DPS/ Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support/ Sub-DPS
Kokomi	Nilou	Nahida	Collei
Kokomi	Ayaka	Kazuha	Shenhe

Kokomi's prowess in the team is her off-field Hydro application and strong healing. While you can slot her to almost any team comps you can imagine, Bloom and Freeze teams are her strongest comps in the current meta.

Pick Characters with Powerful Bursts

When using Raiden Shogun, it is recommended choosing characters with strong Elemental Bursts that stay on the field even after switching.

Activate Raiden Shogun's Burst Last

With this team comp the goal is to activate the Elemental Bursts of the rest of the party first before activating Raiden Shogun's own Elemental Burst. While her Burst is active, attack enemies to recharge the Elemental Burst of the whole party then just keep repeating the process.

Best Team for Aloy

Use Anemo to Gather Enemies

Every time an enemy gets hit by Aloy's Elemental Skill she gain a Coil Stack which increases her damage. Reaching 4 Coil stacks clears it and increases her damage even further while also infusing it with Cryo.

With the help of Anemo skills and bursts, Aloy's Elemental Skill will be easier to land and hit more enemies, filling her Coil Stack faster.

Activate Cryo Resonance Bonus

Adding another Cryo character to the team will activate the Cryo Resonance bonus, which will increase Crit Rate on enemies that are frozen or affected by Cryo.

Best Team for Naganohara Yoimiya

Activate Pyro Resonance for Higher Damage

Having another Pyro character in the party will activate Pyro Resonance which increases ATK by 25%. This is perfect for Yoimiya since her main source of damage is her normal attacks.

Use Hydro or Cryo Sub-DPS for Melt / Vaporize

It's recommended to have a Hydro or Cryo Sub-DPS so that Yoimiya's Pyro attacks can trigger Melt or Vaporize Elemental Reactions for higher damage.

Best Team for Kamisato Ayaka

Trigger Melt and Freeze Reactions

After Ayaka's sprint her normal attack will be infused with Cryo, making it easy to trigger elemental reactions with Pyro or Hydro for Melt and Freeze reactions.

Activate Cryo Resonance

With the Cryo Resonance active, Crit Rate against enemies that are frozen or affected by Cryo is increased. Ayaka can take advantage of this since her normal attacks are infused with Cryo after sprinting.

Increase Damage and Crit Rate with Supports

Rosaria will be able to increase Eula's Crit Rate with her Elemental Burst as well as by activating Cryo Resonance. At C1, Bennett's Burst can both heal and buff ATK of active character's within its AoE.

Focus on Getting Vaporize Reactions

Using Hu Tao's Elemental Skill will increase her attack and infuse it with the Pyro element, at the cost of some of her HP. Pairing her up with Cryo or Hydro Sub-DPS characters can increase her overall damage by triggering Melt and/or Vaporize reactions.

Activating Xingqiu and Yelan's Elemental Burst before using Hu Tao, allows her to consistently trigger Vaporize reactions.

Get Shields Instead of Healer

Hu Tao's damage increases when her HP is low, making it more viable to use shields rather than healing. This will increase her survivability and allow her to take more hits, while also maintaining her high damage output.

Zhongli is recommended as he is considered to be the best Shield character in the game, but he can be swapped out with any available shield character.

Keep Opponents Frozen

Ganyu is a heavy hitter, but as a Bow user, she would need the right environment to be able to continuously land hits to the most number of opponents. Use Hydro characters to be able to Freeze opponents when paired with Ganyu's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

Make it Easier to Hit Enemies

In addition to triggering the Freeze Reaction, characters who can provide crowd control for smaller enemies and a shield for Ganyu can make it easier to focus on dealing as much damage as possible while avoiding taking any hits.

Trigger Elemental Reactions with Sub-DPS

After using his Elemental Skill, Tartaglia's becomes a melee character and his normal attacks deal Hydro damage. Take advantage of this by pairing him up with a different element to trigger reactions for more damage.

In this team comp, use Xiangling's Elemental Burst before switching to Tartaglia and use his Elemental Skill for maximum damage from the Vaporize reaction.

Have 2 Pyro for Resonance Bonus

Having two Pyro characters in the team will activate the Pyro Resonance which will not only increase the chance of Vaporize, but also increase ATK by 25%.

Bring Electro Sub-DPS for Super-Conduct

Qiqi's healing is dependent on her attack, as such it is recommended to orgaize a team with an Electro Sub-DPS to trigger Super-Conduct. This will deal AoE Cryo damage as well as reduce the defence of the enemy.

Equip Qiqi with 4 set Ocean-Hued Clam

With Qiqi as the Main DPS, you will want to equip her with a full set of Ocean-Hued Clam. This will not only increase her Healing Bonus, but will also increase her overall damage whenever she heals herself or an ally.

For Main DPS Diluc, it's best to have either a Hydro or Cryo Sub-DPS to help Diluc trigger Elemental Reactions. With his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, Diluc can deal more damage using Vaporize or Melt.

Aim for Elemental Resonance

We also recommend having a second Pyro character in the party to provide Elemental Resonance and give Diluc an Attack Boost.

Best 4-Star Character Party Setup

Best Team for Kachina

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Sub-DPS/ Support
Kachina	Mualani	Xiangling	Bennett
Kachina	Hu Tao	Xingqiu	Yelan

Kachina is a flexible Sub-DPS unit who you can slot-in on any teams that allow a 4th team member for off-field damage. As long as Kachina is wielding the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set, any on-fielder that can trigger Elemental Reactions will get buffed simply by using her.

Best Team for Sethos

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Sub-DPS/ Support
Sethos	Fischl	Nahida	Kazuha
Sethos	Raiden	Xingqiu	Nahida

Sethos is a hypercarry who relies on Energy usage. As such, characters who can greatly help with supplying him with Energy like Fischl or Raiden are recommended. Regardless of who you choose, Sethos is flexible enough to slot-in in as the main on-field DPS on any Electro-related reaction team comps.

Best Team for Gaming

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Sub-DPS/ Support
Gaming	Furina	Xianyun	Bennett
Gaming	Furina	Rosaria	Xianyun

Gaming in a hypercarry setting uses supports like Furina and Xianyun to increase his plunging attack proficiency, as well as provide enough time for Gaming to Vaporize.

You can also use Gaming for Melt team comps so long as you can time where the plunging attack should land!

Best Team for Chevreuse

Sub-DPS/ Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Chevreuse	Raiden	Sara	Bennett
Chevreuse	Yoimiya	Yae Miko	Thoma
Chevreuse	Clorinde	Fischl	Thoma

Chevreuse is best as a buffer option only for Overloaded team comps due to her passive restrictions. Since Overloaded tends to knockback enemies, characters who can attack in range are best with her as her Main DPS.

Since Chevreuse also has a built-in healing, you may drop your other defensive option for other offensive buffers or Sub-DPS characters like Bennett, Xiangling, Fischl, or Beidou.

Best Team for Charlotte

Sub-DPS/ Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Charlotte	Wriothesley	Furina	Kazuha
Charlotte	Nahida	Xingqiu	Shinobu

Freeze teams and Hyperfridge teams are where Charlotte shines. With her incredible off-field Cryo damage and healing, especially with more constellations, Charlotte can easily be the jack-of-all-trades support you need.

Best Team for Freminet

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Freminet	Xingqiu	Fischl	Mika
Freminet	Nahida	Xingqiu	Shinobu
Freminet	Raiden	Mika	Zhongli

Freminet, depending on the chosen build, can either be a Physical or Cryo-focused character. He can be flexible to either Shatter, Superconduct, or Freeze team comps as the Main DPS.

Because of how Cryo interacts with Dendro, you can also mix in Dendro with a Hydro and Electro character to induce Shatter and Electroboom at the same time!

Layla can be a great addition to teams that can benefit from an off-field unit who can provide buffs (with the Tenacity of the Millelith set) and shields to the party.

Her off-field DPS might be on the lower side, but she more than makes up for it with a strong shield! Just be careful not to break it.

High DPS Heizou's will be constatly dealing Swirl-based DMG through the help of off-field characters. Electro-Charged is this easiest reaction to trigger that can apply to multiple enemies, but your standard National Team with Heizou slotted in could also work.

Xinyan as a Main DPS mostly deals Physical DMG. Having a combination of a Cryo and Electro Sub-DPS character in the party can trigger Superconduct, which will lower enemies' Physical DMG Resistance and allow Xinyan to hit harder.

Use a Pyro Support for Elemental Resonance

Another way to increase Xinyan's damage is to have a second Pyro character in the party to provide Elemental Resonance and increase her ATK by 25%.

With Kaeya's Passive Talent and Anemo Resonance active, movement is increased thanks to the decreased stamina consumption and increased movement speed.

Since there are also a lot of Pyro torch puzzles around Mondstadt, Amber can be used to solve it while also being a bow character!

Best Liyue Exploration Team

Liyue Exploration Party
Zhongli	Yelan	Bennett	Traveler (Geo)
Strengths
・Zhongli and the Traveler (Geo) can create Geo Constructs to solve the puzzles around Liyue and also use it to reach higher places. ・Yelan allows you to speed-up running times. ・Party setup has good HP management with Bennett as a healer and Pyro coverage and Zhongli providing shields.

Zhongli makes exploration around Liyue easier as he can defeat the enemies that use Geo shields and solve the Geo puzzle found all over the region. Since the Liyue region also has a lot of high mountains, Amber and her Passive Talent will come in handy when you're gliding from different points of the map.

Strengths
・Kazuha's Passive Talent decreases sprinting stamina consumption while his Elemental Skill can be used to reach higher places. ・Kokomi can provide healing with her Elemental Skill. ・Fischl provides easy Electro attacks to solve Inazuma puzzles. ・Yoimiya can solve Pyro puzzles while also being able to take out flying enemies easily.

Most of the puzzles found in Inazuma require Electro to solve them, this is where Beidou comes in handy as she can use Electro as well as provide some shields against the stronger Inazuma enemies. Due to that a healer is also highly recommended, especially against the Rifthound enemies that deal damage that ignore shields.

Best Fontaine Exploration Team

Fontaine Exploration Party
Neuvillette	Furina	Kazuha	Baizhu
Strengths
・Neuvillette can act as a strong solo-DPS while also having decent exploration talents, Pneuma Arkhe, and self-healing. ・Furina can switch between Pneuma or Ousia for puzzles, provide good off-field damage, and buff Neuvillette in the process. Also allows you to walk on water, and decrease CD for Fontemer abilities. ・Kazuha's Passive Talent decreases sprinting stamina consumption while his Elemental Skill can be used to reach on top of structures. ・Baizhu replenishes everyone's HP with his strong healing, which also synergizes well against Furina's HP drain.

Exploring Fontaine requires characters that are both good while you're in the surface or underwater, which Neuvillette and Furina's active and passive talents can cover. Especially because they are of the Hydro element and they have Arkhe alignments, they can solve puzzles for you!

You may use Charlotte instead of Baizhu as an alternative.

Party Building Tips & Tricks

Start by Choosing the Main DPS

Role	・Main source of damage for the team.
Features	・Damage is mostly from Normal or Charged attacks.

When building a team, it is best to always start with the Main DPS and build around them. As the Main DPS they will be dealing the most damage and be out on the field for longer.

The Main DPS should specialize in combat, preferably one that can deal high amounts of damage with even just their Normal or Charged attacks.

Pick Sub-DPS with Elemental Reaction

Role	・Secondary source of damage. ・Sets up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS.
Features	・Reliant on Skills or Bursts for damage. ・Effects of Skills or Bursts stay on the field even after switching.

Once the Main DPS has been selected, it's time to choose one or two Sub-DPS for your team. The role of the Sub-DPS is to set up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS, they are also the secondary source of damage while the Main DPS is inactive.

It is recommended that Sub-DPS Elemental Skills and Bursts stay on the field even after getting switched out, so that the Main DPS can keep setting up Elemental Reactions.

Choose a Character that can cause an Elemental Reaction with Main DPS

Best way to choose a Sub-DPS is by checking what reactions you can get with the element of the Main DPS.

List of Elemental Reactions

Choose Your Support Character

Role	・Increases survivability of the team with heals and shields. ・Increases overall damage by providing buffs and debuffs.
Features	・Can provide shields and healing with Skills or Bursts. ・Can boost damage of Main DPS. ・Can lower enemies defense or resistance.

Complete your team by filling in the empty slots with a Support character. They will be in charge of keeping your team alive and providing additional buffs or debuffs to make the job of the Main DPS easier.

Activate Elemental Resonance

Elemental Resonance grants additional buffs based on the number of party members of a particular element.

These buffs can help push a party's damage and synergy potentials to even greater heights and should also be considered when selecting the last characters for a party.
