Stellar Shimmer Day 3 Best Teams

Surprise Party Premium Team

Stellar Shimmer Day 3 Premium Team
Topaz	Dr. Ratio	Robin	Aventurine

Topaz and Robin are the trial characters for Day 3.

We recommend using a Follow-Up attack team composed of Topaz, Dr. Ratio, Robin, and Aventurine. Topaz and Dr. Ratio's Follow-Up attacks will help activate the Giftbox faster. Meanwhile, Robin and Aventurine can further increase the team's damage.

Other Recommended Characters

DPS
Support

Dr. Ratio can be replaced by Himeko or Jing Yuan since they can also consistently deal Follow-Up attacks. If you don't have Aventurine, you can go with healers like Huohuo or Luocha or another sustain unit such as Fu Xuan.

Surprise Party F2P Team

Stellar Shimmer Day 3 F2P Team
Topaz	Asta	Robin	Lynx

Asta can provide additional speed to the entire team so they can reach the Cycle requirement for a full clear. She can also grant ATK boosts and deal damage to enemies with Fire weakness.

How to Beat Day 3 Supergiant Star

Go All Out when Giftbox is Active

The action bar will include the Giftbox, which periodically breaks all enemy weaknesses and increases the team's ATK. Each time allies take action, the Giftbox's turn will be advanced, so Follow-Up attacks will be helpful in this stage.

When the Giftbox buff is active, use your team's strongest attacks to deal more damage. If you defeat a wave before the buff ends, the next wave's enemies will also be Weakness Broken!

Use Robin's Ultimate to Get Extra Turns

To maximize on the Giftbox buff, you can use Robin's Ultimate when the buff is about to end. This lets your team deal extra attacks while buffed by both Robin's Ultimate and the Giftbox.

Focus All Attacks on Cocolia

In Supergiant Star, Cocolia will appear as a boss. You can solely focus your attacks on Cocolia since her summons won't deal much damage thanks to the Giftbox.
