MementoMori lets players build their teams for PvP and PvE. Learn more about building your team and understanding how party setup works.

Team Building Guide

Beginners may need clarification about which characters to place in their party slots. Here are things you should consider before putting a character in your team.

Party Position 1v1

In the basic slot setup, each character in each slot responds and fights the characters in front of them. You can keep this in mind while choosing which character to put on each slot. This will also dictate what character skills can defeat the enemy in front of your characters.

Target and Evading Conditions

If we address the characters' skills, we can see that some deal with random enemies or enemies adjacent to them. Knowing which characters have these conditions may help you where to place them in the correct slots that are optimal for their attacks and evasion.

Characters like Primavera and Zara both have active skills that directly attack the enemies in front of them. Debuffers like Soltina can inflict weaknesses on the enemies.

Combat System Explained

Support Conditions

Character placements also allow your Supporters to effectively apply their active skills buff to their allies. For example, Merlyn's passive, Apprentice Wanted, and Fenrir's active skills buff an ally adjacent to them.

So, in a team, you can add them to the first or last slot and place the character you want buffed next to them to ensure that they will always receive the buff.

Soul Bonuses

Soul Affinity Chart
Azure	→ Strong Against	Crimson
↑ Strong Against		↓ Strong Against
Amber	← Strong Against	Emerald

For an extra boost, try to have units with the same Soul. This grants bonuses like increased HP and Attack depending on how many share the Soul type (aim for at least a 15% bonus, ideally 20%).

When you are just starting to build your team, soul bonuses can help you boost the team's stats.

How to Build Your Team

Check Your Characters' Skills

Players should consider reading the characters' skills to know the range of the skills. Some characters can apply cooldown reduction to their allies if they are adjacent or if a character has the highest ATK power. Some characters have a specific target, like the lowest HP or highest ATK power.

Please consider Active and Passive skills when choosing the characters you want to put on your team.

Fenrir	- Removes debuff to her and allies adjacent to her
Mertillier	- Increases the ATK power of an ally with the highest ATK power

Buffs and Debuffs Guide

Know Your Character's Role

You must know each member's role when building a team. Creating a well-balanced party to utilize each character's skills and optimize their damage to the enemies is good. If your party is balanced, you might be protected in battle.

Role	What They Do
Attacker	- Have skills with high ATK power - passive skills that increases ATK power
Buffer	- Have skills that increases the skills of others - May also give shield to allies
Debuffer	- Have skills that may lower the enemies' damage - Have skills that inflict weaknesses on enemies
Healer	- Has skills that recover HP and remove debuffs from allies
Tank	- Has defensive utility and hits very hard

Recommended Team Composition

1 Attacker and 4 Support

With this composition, the buffer, debuff, and healer can devote their skills to supporting the main attacker.

Another variant is the 2 Attacker - 3 Support Team Composition, which works the same way but has more hitters in the team.

Slot 1	Slot 2	Slot 3	Slot 4	Slot 5
Merlyn	Cordie	Mertillier	Primavera	Mimi

An example of this team is the Merlyn - Cordie - Mertillier - Primavera - Mimi team. This team can carry you through the most of the Main Quest.

Cordie is the main damage dealer of this team, buffed by Merlyn, Mertillier, and to a lesser extent, Primavera. Mimi extends her damage with her Resonance debuff, which makes the enemy with the highest DEF take damage equivalent to the damage received by the enemy with the lowest DEF.

Primavera has the added utility of inflicting Faint on whatever enemy is in front of her with her first active skill (provided she has higher SPD than them).

If you have 2 main attackers and Merlyn is already at Level 221, put her in Slot 2 and your attackers in Slots 1 and 3 so both can benefit from the "Master and Apprentice" skill.
