Jade	Argenti	Robin	Huohuo
AoE Attack Team
DPS	DPS	Support	Healer

Jade's teams should ideally have another AoE DPS who can help trigger her Follow-up Attacks quicker. The more targets a teammate can hit, the faster Jade gains charges for her Follow-up Attack.

Xueyi Teams

DPS	Support	Support	Healer
Xueyi	Asta	Trailblazer (Imaginary)	Lynx

Silver Wolf Teams

F2P
Support	DPS	DPS	Healer
Silver Wolf	Qingque	Xueyi	Lynx
Premium
Support	DPS	Support	Utility
Silver Wolf	Qingque	Sparkle	Fu Xuan

Ideally, Silver Wolf's best team comp is a mono-Quantum team that will let players brute force challenging content against enemies without the Quantum Weakness.

She can also be great for other mono-element teams if they have a Quantum weakness and aren't weak in said element.

Seele Teams

F2P
DPS	Support	Shielder	Healer
Seele	Asta	Trailblazer (Fire)	Lynx
Mono-Quantum
DPS	Support	Support	Utility
Seele	Sparkle	Silver Wolf	Fu Xuan
Premium
DPS	Support	Support	Utility
Seele	Sparkle	Tingyun	Fu Xuan

Seele's team comps focus on making her a Hypercarry by buffing her with multiple supports. With her multi-turn mechanic, Seele can deal single-target DMG to multiple enemies.

Qingque Teams

F2P
DPS	DPS	Shielder	Healer
Qingque	Dan Heng	March 7th	Lynx
Mono-Quantum
DPS	Support	Support	Utility
Qingque	Sparkle	Silver Wolf	Fu Xuan
Premium
DPS	Support	Support	Utility

DPS	Support	Support	Shielder
Acheron	Jiaoqiu	Sparkle	Aventurine

Acheron teams require two Nihility units to increase her DMG and help her access her powerful Ultimate. If Acheron has her 2nd Eidolon unlocked, you can replace one Nihility unit with a Harmony unit.

Kafka Teams

DPS	DPS	Support	Healer
Kafka	Dan Heng	Asta	Natasha
Premium
DPS	Support	Support	Healer

Jing Yuan Teams

F2P
DPS	Support	Shielder	Healer
Jing Yuan	Asta	Trailblazer (Fire)	Natasha
Premium
DPS	Support	Support	Healer
Jing Yuan	Sparkle	Tingyun	Huohuo

Most of Jing Yuan's team comps focus on improving his damage as a Solo DPS. He is strong in AoE but also very good in single-target situations, especially if he Weakness Breaks a boss weak to Lightning.

Serval Teams

F2P
DPS	DPS	Shielder	Healer
Serval	Dan Heng	March 7th	Natasha
Premium
DPS	DPS	Support	Healer
Serval	Kafka	Ruan Mei	Huohuo

Since Serval is a specialized AoE damage dealer that also deals DoT, she should be paired up with a single-target damage dealer or go all-in on a team comp specializing in DoT.

DPS	DPS	Shielder	Healer
Arlan	Dan Heng	March 7th	Lynx
Premium
DPS	Support	Support	Shielder

Himeko	Asta	Trailblazer (Fire)	Natasha
Premium
DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Shielder
Himeko	Topaz	Ruan Mei	Aventurine

Herta	Serval	March 7th	Natasha
Premium
Sub-DPS	DPS	Support	Shielder
Herta	Himeko	Robin	Aventurine

Herta Space Station	Jarilo-IV	Xianzhou Luofu	Penacony

Herta Space Station: Prologue Team Comp

Herta Space Station Team Comp
Trailblazer	March 7th	Dan Heng	Asta

During the beginning of the game, the team composition is not nearly as important and just the provided characters are enough to clear all content until Jarilo-VI

Jarilo-VI Team Comps

Jarilo-VI (First Half) Team Comps
Asta	Dan Heng	March 7th	Trailblazer

The provided characters should have no issue clearing through the first part of Jarilo-VI until around TL 14.

Jarilo-VI (2nd Half) Team Comps
Asta	Dan Heng	Serval	Natasha
Alternative Characters
In place of Asta		In place of Natasha

From the second part of Jarilo VI forward thinking about your team composition will become more necessary. Adding Natasha or Bailu to your party for sustainability works wonders.

Jarilo-IV (Later Half) Team Comps
Trailblazer (Fire)	Serval	Natasha	Asta
Alternative Characters
In place of Serval		In place of Natasha

Fire Trailblazer is a great unit for Jarilo VI especially due to their ability to taunt and take single target dmg for other units.

Xianzhou Luofu Team Comps

Xianzhou Luofu (First Half) Comps
Clara	Bronya	Bailu	Pela
Dan Heng	Asta	Natasha	Pela
Alternative Characters
Alternative attackers		Alternative Support

There is an abundance of weaknesses to hit in Cloudford and Stargazer Navalia as it is the intro area of The Xianzhou Luofu making most teams viable.

Some of the key encounters are weak to Wind, Physical, and Imaginary. Pela is recommended due to her ability to strip the revive buff that Mara-Struck Soldiers have.

Xianzhou Luofu (Latter Half) Comps
Himeko	Asta	Bailu	Seele
March 7th	Asta	Natasha	Qingque
Alternative Characters
Alternative attackers		Alternative Support

Going into the later boss fight you'll want to bring characters that can hit multiple targets in Fire or Quantum elements. Characters like Hook, Himeko, Seele, Qingque and The Fire Trailblazer fit can easily fit into these roles.

Penacony Team Comps

Penacony (First Half) Comps
Dr. Ratio	Topaz	Ruan Mei	Aventurine
Kafka	Black Swan	Ruan Mei	Huohuo
Serval	Asta	Yukong	Trailblazer (Fire)
Alternative Characters
Alternative Attackers		Alternative Supports

Weaknesses are spread out in the first half of Penacony so most teams would work, but most encounters are weak to Lightning, Imaginary, and Fire. Wind characters can also be used for some of the boss encounters.

Penacony (Latter Half) Comps
Himeko	Topaz	Ruan Mei	Aventurine
Kafka	Guinaifen	Ruan Mei	Huohuo
Serval	Asta	Trailblazer (Imaginary)	Lynx
Alternative Characters
Alternative attackers		Alternative Support

For the latter half of Penacony, the majority of the enemy weaknesses are still Lightning, Imaginary, and Fire. For the major boss fight, you'll want to bring Fire, Lightning, or Imaginary characters that can hit multiple targets.
