Meta Shifts Since Patch 2.3–2.4
- Disorder/Frost Comp Decline: Bosses with freeze/immunity and anomaly resistance have shifted the meta away from pure disorder/freeze teams (BitTopup).
- Rupture & Electric Surge: Yixuan, Lucia, and Shock-based comps gained priority for clearing new event and legend bosses.
- Support Buffs Rule: Astra, Yuzuha, and Soukaku’s ability to boost team DPS made them central to all high-end meta squads.
- Team Building Priority: Faction/element buffs now outweigh raw stat stacking. Top teams feature meta agents sharing additional ability “cores.”
