Stellar Shimmer Day 1 Best Teams

Vanguard Breaker Premium Team

Stellar Shimmer Day 1 Premium Team
Firefly	Trailblazer (Imaginary)	Ruan Mei	Gallagher

Firefly and Harmony Trailblazer are the trial characters for Day 1.

With Firefly being one of Trial characters, we recommend using Firefly's best team comp for Day 1 of Stellar Shimmer. The ideal team will be Firefly, Harmony Trailblazer, Ruan Mei, and Gallagher.

Other Recommended Characters

DPS
Support

If you don't have Ruan Mei or Gallagher, we suggest replacing them with either Pela for more damage, Asta for more Speed, or Aventurine for a more offense oriented sustain. If you don't have Aventurine, any other healer will do fine.

If, for whatever reason, you don't want to use the free Firefly trial character, Himeko, Jingliu, and Dr. Ratio are ideal substitutes since the enemies are weak to their Element.

Vanguard Breaker F2P Team

Stellar Shimmer Day 1 F2P Team
Firefly	Trailblazer (Imaginary)	Asta	Natasha

Asta in this F2P team comp will help speed the entire team up so they can reach the Cycle requirement for a full clear and also help toughness break Fire-weak enemies. However, she can be replaced with Pela for more damage.

How to Beat Day 1 Supergiant Star

Focus on Weakness Breaking the Adds

The Vanguard Breaker buff is a tremendous help that enables Firefly to never lose her turn. When possible, try to target an add that's right beside the boss or elite enemy to help chip away at their toughness bar.

Target Argenti when Add Toughness is Low

In Supergiant Star, Argenti will appear as a boss. Use the Blast attacks of Firefly's Ultimate to get his summons' toughness down.

When the toughness of enemies next to Argenti is low enough, you can focus Firefly's Blast attack on Argenti to bring his toughness down further and Weakness Break his adds in one hit!

Once Argenti is Weakness Broken, you can return your focus to remaining summons on the field to keep Firefly's turn for as much as possible.
