Overflowing Wounds Best Team

Tides of War Day 5 Best Team

Best Team for Day 5
Seele Seele Sparkle Sparkle Tingyun Tingyun Fu Xuan Fu Xuan

The best team for Day 5 consists of the Trial Characters available for the stage. Seele is your main DPS while Sparkle and Tingyun provide additional buffs and help Seele get her turn faster. Lastly, Fu Xuan will grant the team more survivability and extra CRIT Rate.

Seele's Talent grants her an extra turn when she defeats an enemy, which makes it easier to raise your Grit Value when she's slotted into the team. Use Seele's Skill and Ultimate as often as you can to take down more enemies much faster.

Best Support Functions for Day 5

Support Function Buff Effect
Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage - Solitary OverwoundSolitary Overwound Grit Phase 2 (Option)
When attacking and defeating a single target, deals 240% Overflow DMG plus a set amount of DMG to the enemy boss and 20% Overflow DMG plus a set amount of DMG to other enemy targets.
Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage - Final BlowFinal Blow Grit Phase 3 (Option)
Increases the Ultimate DMG of all allies by 100%.

We recommend using the Solitary Overwound and Final Blow Support functions to take advantage of Seele's gameplay style and further increase her damage.

How to Beat Overflowing Wounds

Focus Attacks on Weaker Enemies Only

Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 5 - Focus Attacks on Weaker Enemies Only

You should direct your attacks on the weaker enemies that continuously get summoned. The Overflow DMG mechanic of the Day 5 stage allows you to deal damage to the bosses by defeating enemies, so it'll be more efficient to just focus on weaker mobs.

Reach Gepard During the Third Cycle

Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 5 - Gepard Boss

Based on our test runs, you should be fighting Gepard during the 3rd cycle or earlier to perfect Day 5. If he puts up a protective barrier on the summons, just defeat one of them and the Overflow DMG will get rid of the barrier on the other enemies.

Raise Grit Value with Seele's Attacks

Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 5 - Raise Grit Value with Seele

Seele can easily defeat multiple enemies in one go with her Talent. Use her Skill and Ultimate on the weaker enemies as often as you can to reach higher Grit Phases much faster.

Sparkle and Tingyun will not only buff Seele's damage but also help replenish Skill Points and Energy so she can continue using her strongest attacks.

Take Down Enemies Faster in Grit Phase 4

Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 5 - Take Down Enemies Faster in Grit Phase 4

In Grit Phase 4, all summons will enter the field with decreased HP, which makes it even easier for Seele to defeat enemies with one attack. Take out as many enemies as you can to quickly deal more damage to the boss in this phase.
