Early-game team
The early game composition includes only SR rarity characters, because everyone will have different reroll targets - still, if you for example roll for an attacker, you will replace the attacker in the composition below. Also, the placement of characters changes depending if you will play on auto or manually - the difference is caused by how the AI uses the skills and we explained it in our Team Building guide.
Overall, Anis/Rapi/Neon/N102 are good choices to fill the gaps in any starter team. Make sure to keep Anis to the left of Diesel for the Def down debuff - Diesel just brings DPS as she is SSR so her base stats are higher. You're not using her for her tanking abilities here and she will be replaced either way later.
As for SR supports:
- N102 is a general support that works in any team
- Neon is great with Shotgun users
- Belorta shines when paired with Snipers
Meta teams
Below we will showcase a few meta teams that are currently used by endgame players. Keep in mind that building the teams when you start will be close to impossible (unless you will open your wallet) and are meant to be one of the goals you aim to achieve.
- God Composition
- Scarlet Goes Brrrr - a Scarlet reload team
- Splashy Splash - a Rocket Launcher team
- Pellets Galore - a Shotgun team
- Laser Abuse - a Snow White team
- Pierce the Heavens - a Alice/Maxwell team
God Composition
About the team
This team is the most common and universal team used by endgame players - both to challenge the campaign and other modes. Sadly, it's a pretty expensive team to run as 3 Pilgrims form the core of it.
Team configuration
- Liter acts as the main supporter in the team - her buffs are simply incredible and they drastically increase the team's damage,
- Rapunzel gives you healing and also resurrect option when someone else dies,
- Centi acts as both burst energy generator and Shielder that can save you from suicide bots and other nasty attacks,
- Scarlet and Modernia are the main carries that can deal with most Mid and Far enemies with ease.
Alternative options
Burst I
- N102 being the budget version of Liter is what most of you should use in your Burst I spot if you don't have Liter and if you don't run a more specialized team.
- Pepper while not providing any buffs gives you additional healing when you need it.
Burst II
- Anis is your go-to character if you don't have any great SSR Burst II characters. Her Burst generation is the reason you use her in the team as it allows you to use your Burst skills faster,
- Dolla is a pure support that gives ATK buffs and further cooldown reduction,
- Rupee is among the best Burst II damage dealers in the game, but she also provides the team with ATK buff,
- Currently the best Burst II damage dealer in the game - her damage output is simply stupid, especially if you already have a strong Burst III carry so she can 'steal' her attack and make herself even stronger.
Burst III
- Alice gives you better Far stages coverage, but keep in mind that she's better on manual play than on auto,
- Drake is the queen of Near stages who helps the team with DPS and burst generation,
- Harran is still a monster who shines on non-boss stages - her damage and burst generation are simply insane. Just keep in mind she falls off against solo bosses as she can't stack her passive there,
- Laplace and Power are both RL wielders who work in both normal and boss stages.
Scarlet Goes Brrr
About the team
This a variation of the god composition that focuses on turning Scarlet into a even bigger monster.
Team configuration
- Liter acts as the main supporter in the team - her buffs are simply incredible and they drastically increase the team's damage,
- Admi acts as reload speed booster to help cover Scarlet's biggest weakness,
- Scarlet is the main dps of the team,
- Modernia acts as secondary DPS, but this spot is the most flexible one - you can use any Burst III you have here,
- Privaty gives even more reload speed.
Alternative options
Burst I
- N102 being the budget version of Liter is what most of you should use in your Burst I spot if you don't have Liter and if you don't run a more specialized team,
- Miranda while only buffing one character is inferior to Liter and N102, you can still try running her here,
- Xmas Rupee gives this team even more reload speed, but keep in mind you don't run her as your only Burst I character - she replaces the flex Burst III spot instead.
Burst II
- If you're running Xmas Rupee, you have enough reload speed, so you can run base Rupee instead of Admi.
Burst III
You can use anything in Modernia's spot really - this team is really flexibile when it comes to that.
Splashy Splash
About the team
Rocket Launcher teams shine mostly on bosses, because they can hit multiple of its parts at once, drastically increasing the damage output, but they can be used in general content too - though there they are often outperformed by more flexible teams.
Team configuration
- Liter and Dolla provide both buffs and Burst cooldown reduction, allowing the 2 damage dealers to shine,
- Power and Laplace are the main damage dealers of the team,
- Maxwell acts as buffer.
Alternative options
Burst I
- N102 being the budget version of Liter is what most of you should use in your Burst I spot if you don't have Liter and if you don't run a more specialized team.
- Noise gives you Taunt and also heals the team which is often needed against Bosses - just keep in mind that you don't run her as your only Burst I because of her 40s cooldown and instead she replaces the third Burst III character,
- Volume while being inferior to Liter and N102 due to Crit being not that valuable in the damage formula brings the burst cooldown reduction that helps if you run Vesti.
Burst II
- Belorta's Burst helps a bit with all the other RL characters, but she's your last resort if you don't have Dolla or Centi,
- Centi being RL wielder herself fits into the team nicely as she gives even more Burst energy regen and some support with her Shields.
Burst III
- If you're missing Power, Vesti is the next best character to use here.
Pellets Galore
About the team
Shotguns teams can be used in the campaign, but they shine more on Bosses.
Team configuration
- Liter provide buffs and Burst cooldown reduction,
- Guilty is the best Burst II damage dealer who fits great in this team as she's a Shotgun wielder herself,
- Isabel is the main damage dealer for the team,
- Sugar acs as a secondary damage dealer and a buffer that increases other Shotgun users max magazine size, allowing them to shoot for longer,
- Drake is the secondary dealer who also increases the team's Hit Rate allowing everyone to do more damage in Mid and Far ranges.
Alternative options
Burst I
- Pepper while not providing any buffs gives you additional healing when you need it,
- Neon is a great SR supporter for Shotgun teams,
- If you lack Liter and want to run Isabel as the main carry then Volume is your girl.
Burst II
- Dolla gives your Burst Cooldown reduction if you're running Pepper in spot 1,
- Poli acts as ATK buffer, but if you want to run her, you have to drop one Burst III character (and then you pair her with Dolla usually),
- Viper is a sub-dps and buffer that gives the team the important ATK buff (though only once per battle).
Burst III
- If you managed to get Neve during her event, you can safely user her in your shotgun team as a replacement,
- Maiden is a more AOE focused character and she shines more on non-boss stages if you're running the shotgun team there (but keep in mind that her Taunt can get her killed there under high deficits).
Laser Abuse
About the team
The Snow White team is excellent for Union Raid as the best-in-slot characters you use there aren't needed in other teams.
Just keep in mind that playing the team requires manual gameplay as you need to use SW Burst at the right time.
Team configuration
- Miranda is the best Burst I supporter for SW,
- Maxwell, Dolla and Poli focus on buffing SW and making her even stronger,
- Snow White is the key member of the team - her Burst skill deals stupid amounts of damage,
Alternative options
Burst I
- N102 is a good generic ATK buffer to use if you lack Miranda,
- Neon gives a massive Crit Rate buff that helps SW to maximize her damage.
Burst II
- Xmas Anne is a replacement for Poli - both give the must-needed ATK buff,
- Novel doesn't provide any buffs to her allies, but she debuffs the enemy instead.
Burst III
- Privaty acts as a buffer here,
- Yulha gives a massive ATK buff too, but since it's tied to her skill, if you want to use her, you need time your burst window around it.
Pierce the Heavens
About the team
This team is really similar to the SW team, but it requires even more focus and manual gameplay to use it right.
Team configuration
A detailed guide for this team is being prepared, and for now you can watch this video to see it in action:
