Skill Deals More DMG with Counter

Star Rail - Clara

Mark of Counter is a mechanic that marks an enemy whenever they attack Clara. Enemies with a Mark of Counter will take more DMG from Clara's Skill, so it would be used better if enemies attack Clara first.

The Marks of Counter will be removed after Clara uses her Skill.

Sounds like a fun team and he's been suggested as a possible teammate by some YT CCs. Unfortunately, this site sucks at build guides. Where is the Tingyun, Sparkle, and Lynx/Huo Huo team comps? Where is the Hunt March 7th/Moze, Robin, and Aventurine team comps? Lazy lazy writing. They just throw out a guide the first day a character comes out and then say okay, that'll do, we'll come back to this in another 6 months to see if anything needs to be updated.

I think the Clara Follow-up attack team comp should list Moze as a potential sub-DPS for her. He provides good debuffs, can help her with single target damage and he is not targetable while he's departed, which makes Clara more likely to get hit.
