Top 3 Team Compositions
Team 1 - Strongest Overall
Miyabi + Yanagi + Caesar / Rina / Lucy
Disorder-focused hypercarry. Maximizes Fallen Frost stacks and burst. Miyabi and Yanagi trigger Polarity Disorder for massive damage, while the support slot provides buffs and shields. Strongest team in 1.4.
Team 2 - Dual Anomaly
Miyabi + Burnice / Piper + Lucy / Caesar
Dual-Anomaly Fire-Ice Disorder team. Burnice applies off-field Burn while Miyabi builds Frost, triggering cross-element Disorders. Excellent off-field damage and trigger frequency.
Team 3 - F2P Electric / Classic Ice
Harumasa + Qingyi + Rina / Seth OR Ellen + Lycaon + Soukaku
Two reliable F2P-friendly options. Harumasa team cycles Electric Prison into enhanced dashes during stun windows. Ellen team uses classic stun-burst with Lycaon setting up Ice damage. Both clear endgame with low investment.
Pull Priority Summary
F2P Decision Framework
Pull Miyabi if you can. She is the clear top DPS in 1.4 and future-proofs Ice and Anomaly teams. Grab free Harumasa and build him as your Electric DPS. Skip older DPS like Ellen and Zhu Yuan unless you already have them built. Caesar is the best universal support to pair with any team.
