Tides of War Day 3 Best Team

Best Team for Day 3
Argenti Argenti Sparkle Sparkle Tingyun Tingyun Huohuo Huohuo

The best team for Day 3 consists of the Trial Characters available for the stage. Argenti will be your primary source of damage while Sparkle and Tingyun provide support buffs and advance his actions forward. Finally, Huohuo provides extra energy and ATK boosts with her healing.

For this stage, Argenti should be positioned first in your Team Setup to take advantage of the low energy cost for his Ultimate. Since he can unleash his Ultimate more often, he'll be able to raise your Grit Value much faster.

Best Support Functions for Day 3

The ally positioned first in the Team Setup will regenerate Energy equal to 33% of the Energy consumed when other characters use their Ultimates, with a 30% fixed chance to increase the DMG dealt by the ally positioned first by 50% for their next attack, stacking up to 3 stacks.
Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War - Hone Your Strength Hone Your Strength Grit Phase 3 (Option)

We recommend using the Respect From All and Hone Your Strength Support functions to increase your party's Energy Regeneration Rate and help Argenti use his Ultimate more often.

I don't understand why all these guys are struggling. I used this exact setup, and got SS rank with 2 cycles remaining, on my FIRST try, and only used the trail version of all the characters at that. I didn't even perform all that well either, I kept wasting ults my lining them up instead of using them one at a time. It really not that hard guys, its like the easiest one so far.

I've tried them all, it took me several attempts to get S What works for me: Argenti, Huohuo, Sparkle, Tingyun It's the one closest to get Kafka into low HP, compared with other set. So if you failed with this set, just keep on repeating
