Top Team Compositions

Teams ranked by community DPR tests and clear speed data. Pick based on your roster and available pulls.

Premium: Galbrena + Qiuyuan + ShorekeeperBest Overall

Galbrena (Main DPS) + Qiuyuan (Sub-DPS) + Shorekeeper (Support)

Qiuyuan provides unique Echo Skill DMG buffs, extra casts, and Crit DMG. Shorekeeper adds universal crit and ATK buffs plus sustain. Frequently called her strongest setup in raw DPR tests.

Mono-Fusion: Galbrena + Lupa + BrantPopular

Galbrena (Main DPS) + Lupa (Sub-DPS) + Brant (Support) or Shorekeeper

Lupa enables strong Fusion amps and shred with pack-hunt mechanics. Brant adds more Fusion synergy. Players report sub-one-minute clears with practice. Lupa + Shorekeeper is a close F2P-friendly alternative, about 14% behind premium in tests.

Accessible: Galbrena + Phrolova + CantarellaAlternative

Galbrena (Main DPS) + Phrolova (Sub-DPS) + Cantarella (Support) or Mortefi/Iuno

Good for Heavy Attack amp and Concerto energy. Solid for players without full Fusion supports. Mortefi and Iuno variants also work depending on your roster.

F2P Budget: Galbrena + Mortefi + VerinaF2P

Galbrena (Main DPS) + Mortefi (Sub-DPS) + Verina or Shorekeeper (Support)

Reliable F2P option. Mortefi provides Heavy Attack amp and team buffs. Verina offers sustain and buffs. Lupa + Mortefi also works to satisfy Lupa's 3-Fusion shred requirement.

Step-by-Step Build and Execution

  1. Build Galbrena (Priority Order)

    Weapon: Lux and Umbra (BiS, ~100% best in tests). Alternatives: Static Mist or Solar Flame.

    Echo Set: 3pc Flamewing's Shadow + 2pc Flaming Clawprint or Molten Rift.

    Main Stats: Crit Rate or Crit DMG on 4-cost, Fusion DMG%, ATK%.

    Substats Priority: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > ATK > Heavy DMG% > ER.

    Talents: Forte Circuit first, then Resonance Liberation, then Normal Attack, then Resonance Skill, then Intro. Level Skill and Intro to 6 if short on resources.

  2. Assemble and Level the Team

    Pull or prioritize Qiuyuan or Lupa next if possible. Level supports' key talents and weapons (especially Lupa's signature for extra buffs). Ensure all characters are at least level 80+ with decent echoes for sustain and buff uptime.

  3. Learn the Rotation

    Start with support buffs (Shorekeeper or Lupa skill). Swap to Galbrena for Intro Skill and Enhanced states. Focus on Heavy Attack and Echo Skill loops, dodging into enhanced combos for Afterflame. Use Ult in enhanced state for massive self-amp. Quick swaps for outros to maintain buff uptime.

    Rotation Key

    Quick swaps are critical. Practice short rotations to keep uptime high. Remora and echo retention matter for maximizing damage windows.

Key Decision Points

Have Lupa?

Go mono-Fusion (add Brant or Shorekeeper). Excels in Fusion shred and synergy. Sub-one-minute clears are possible with practice.

Have Qiuyuan?

Pair with Shorekeeper for Echo-focused buffs. Often edges out mono-Fusion in raw DPS tests due to unique Echo Skill DMG amplification.

F2P / No Premium Supports?

Mortefi + Verina or Shorekeeper is reliable. Build Mortefi for Heavy Attack amp and team buffs (Static Mist + Moonlit set). Avoid forcing mismatched elements.

Which to Test?

Compare DPR parses in-game. Choose based on your roster and clear speed, not just theory. Test 2-3 runs per comp before committing resources.
