Basic [Chill] team to clear early and mid-game Condense Engine Core with Nayuta and low rarity characters. You can replace the low rarity units as you get new SSR characters, but this team should be more than enough.
[Chill] stacks take some time to start ramping out, but since you have 3 minutes it's more than enough time for Nayuta to start shuffling like crazy.
Basic [Ignite] team using Valentine as the captain to clear Furnace Engine Core with Nayuta as our only SSR unit to make it F2P friendly. This team should work for all upgrades related to the Furnace Core, but you can always switch units around and experiment with different [Ignite] decks.
Basic [Lightning] team to clear early and mid-game Overload Engine Core with Nayuta and low rarity characters. You can replace the low rarity units as you get new SSR characters, but this team should be more than enough.
Ganya simply uses her leader skill to throw multiple axes, thanks to Fenia and Nayuta deck can cycle consistently by drawing cards, Stella can generate derivative cards to fuel Ganya’s Leader Skill. Suen to buff Ganya and heal the team, there's also a chance of her creating a [Shadowcraft] card, which can also be used as a fuel for Ganya’s Leader Skill. With the consistent card draw and generation make the Leader Skill is spammable.
Another variant for Ganya Axe Throw, but featuring an Awakening 4 Charlotte. Charlotte, at Awakening 4, can trigger a Doom Crescent whenever a Leader Skill is activated, given that Ganya can spam her Leader Skill. Charlotte also spams her Doom Crescent.
A pretty simple deck that disables most cards in favor of Ganya spamming her Ultimate thanks to the constant shuffling from Nayuta and Fenia. There is some RNG involved on getting the first Ultimate going, but after that it's smooth sailing.
Focus on equipping gear that increases [Physical] damage and buffs [Rend]. A great deck early on, since you can get Ganya for free.
This version of the deck uses only Nayua as SSR character, so it's F2P friendly, considering both Ganya and Fenia are free, while Shizuru is an R unit.
This team highly focuses on bursting enemies with Connor’s Leader skill; it has a slow build-up up given you have to activate her Leader Skill twice before being able to use the AOE nuke. Once set up, the rest of the team will just reduce its cooldown by using Red Cards.
A non-cost heavy Charlotte team, Rachel for great cost generation and heals. Whereas Arcana and Tara are used for redrawing used cards, mainly red cards. There is also Karen, who specifically heals Wind allies.

Utilizes Rachel to generate cost and Valentine's low-cost skills to easily activate Livia’s Leader skill. There is also Tara and Rina Von for drawing cards.

Charlotte needs time to ramp up her [Doom Crescent] mechanic, but this is a pretty safe and cheap deck to build with double frontline to soak up damage, heals and great DPS.
Focus on getting [Physical] and [Slash] gear to improve Charlotte damage output and some items to recover HP, since Arcana might not be enough.
To scale this deck for endgame you will have to replace Arcana with another utility character and get more gear that can sustain your team instead. Tara usually stays here to help draw high cost cards for easier rotations.

Consistent generation of [Shadowcraft] and fast use of [Darkest Hour]. Disables [Dark Tide] for cost generation when shuffling. If still struggling with cost can change Arina into Aoba (Awakening 1). This team offers great damage mitigation thanks to having two healers and a Shielder.
Involves a lot of purple card spamming, which will also make Margiela spam her ultimate. Joshua, Verlaine and Arcana for cost generation, the former two are also sub-DPSes. Suen for more [Shadowcraft], Healing and Frontline. Extremely cost heavy, so get Using [Leader Skill] restores 0.2/0.3 Cost. affix on Anita equipments.
Katas' ultimate can be cycled in very fast when a lot of Fire units are present to inflict [Ignite], [Blaze], [Wildfire] and [Inferno]. It's essential to have Arina at Resonance 5 for her [Ignite] on auto-attacks, and although her Awakening 5 makes a big difference for its synergy with Red Cards, it's not an absolute must. For a budget option, you can switch Arina for Yoizuki.
This team aims to keep Ilona permanently at Sniping Mode and shooting with [Lock On] as often as possible. Thus, a fast cycling and lots of red cards are essential. This is the budget version.
Similar to the budget version, the team aims to keep Ilona at Sniping mode and using [Lock On] as often as possible. Having Stella and Nayuta in the team means a much faster cycling and card spamming, which can help in terms of DPS output from Livia and Achiwa as well.Not to mention, Nayuta's invisibility also buffs the target's ATK. The only downside in this team is the lack of healing, so if you're struggling to survive, you may consider switching Nayuta or Stella for Arcana, Yoizuki, Arina or a healer of choice.

A versatile team with Livia and Verlaine as the main Damage sources, and lots of utility. It can fit in any content or against any enemy easily, with the downside that it is quite RNG reliant, which can make its performance not as stable as other teams. For a more Premium version, Cecil can be switched for Arina. The main goal here is to have a steady source of Purple cards coming in order to use Strange Spark often.
Entirely focused on Reverb Engine Requirements (Strange Spark, Nova, Shadowcraft), this team brings the most realiable combo to spam those cards as fast as possible. However, since it can be quite expensive, it you're looking for a budget version to unlock the first 20 levels or so of Reverb Engine, you can simply bring Livia as leader and as many Purple Card users as you have. On the other hand, since all Reverb special cards are very powerful, this team can double as a Combat team and become even stronger if you enable most of the cards that were disabled here to focus on the Engine.

A pretty straightforward team, focused on self-buffing. It's very cheap to get going, but requires a bit of investment in equipment in order to tackle high-end content effectively.
The new high tier Electro team, taking Nicola's damage output to a whole new level thanks to Shizuru the Summer Chaser's buffs and faster card cycling. Tennie can be replaced for Nayuta or Yejue if you're not struggling with survival.

A team that optimizes Nova and Supernova generation alongside stacking Shadowcraft. It's well balanced in terms of Card Draw and Cost Generation, making it a bit faster than the usual Shadowcraft teams, however, it lacks healing. You can try swapping Stella for Arcana and/or Margiella for Suen if needed.
A more improved version of the Nicola Electro Premium team, which features both Shizuru The Summer Chaser and Pelota with incredible Electro support. This team will now take advantage of Source Citadel armor as it won’t need to rely on Simulated Stars' affix of [Leader Skill] cost regen, so either External Memory Matrix or High Dimension Construct is a good option to have the [Leader Skill] ATK+ affix. However, if you still struggle with healing, you can consider using the regular Simulated Stars. For other gear alternatives, refer to each crew member’s review page for recommendations. This team will work fine with no awakenings. If you are looking for alternatives, refer to Team 23 and 34 as an alternative premium option.
This team features Fenia as the main DPS, and we have Pelota as the sustain and buffer for [Electrify] Red Card. We make use of the efficiency of this team for drawing and discarding cards through Fenia’s Leader skill. If you wish for more cost generation, it might be good to have Caroline replace Arcana if she’s available.
