Stellar Shimmer Day 8 Best Teams

Plague of Misfortune Premium Team

Stellar Shimmer Day 8 Premium Team
Acheron	Kafka	Black Swan	Huohuo

Kafka and Black Swan are the trial characters for Day 8.

A Nihility team composed of Acheron, Kafka, Black Swan, and Huohuo is recommended for Day 8. Most of your damage will come from Acheron's Ultimate and the DoTs from Kafka and Black Swan. Meanwhile, Huohuo provides ATK buffs and Energy to unleash Ultimates faster.

Other Recommended Characters

DPS
Support

You can replace Acheron with other DoT characters like Sampo or Guinaifen. However, you can also use supports like Ruan Mei, Tingyun, or Robin.

For a healer replacement, you can go with characters like Luocha or Gallagher for their Skill Point friendly healing.

Plague of Misfortune F2P Team

Kafka	Black Swan	Asta	Lynx

For the F2P team, you can use Asta to boost Kafka and Black Swan's ATK while dealing damage to Fire-weak enemies. Then, Lynx will provide healing for the team.

How to Beat Day 8 Supergiant Star

Use Ultimates to Inflict DoTs

In Day 8, enemies have a high chance of receiving debuffs that inflict DoT DMG whenever your allies attack with their Ultimate. You'll want to use your Ultimates as much as possible so you can stack up a lot of DoTs on enemies.

Focus Attacks on Elite Enemies

Certain Elite enemies during this stage will summon mobs. You don't need to prioritize taking them down since their attacks will also regenerate Energy for whoever they attack. Keep your attacks centered on the Elite enemies.

Let Yanqing's Flying Swords Attack

When Yanqing summons his Flying Swords, allow them to attack your team before unleashing any Ultimates that are at full energy. This offers more chances of them attacking other allies and helping them recover some Energy first!
