Best Starter Teams in Another Eden Using Only Free Story Characters​

Another Eden Artwork 3

Building a strong starter team in Another Eden using only free story and episode characters is absolutely viable, especially for clearing the main story and early post‑game content. The examples below give simple, role‑balanced line‑ups you can assemble without touching the gacha.​

Core principles for free starter teams

  • Prioritise Aldo and other strong story units: community ranking threads consistently place Aldo near the top of free characters thanks to his damage and manifest support.​​
  • Use free episodes and Symphonies to fill healer and DPS roles, then layer gacha units later if you want.​

Example fire‑focused starter team

A fire‑leaning team works well for early story and generic farming.​​

  • Front row: Aldo (core fire DPS), Cerrine (AS or base if obtained via episode), story healer such as Lele or a free support from early episodes.​​
  • Back row: another fire or neutral DPS (e.g. Gariyu once unlocked from his episode) plus a flex utility or backup healer.​​

This composition gives you strong AoE via Aldo and Gariyu and single‑target damage plus support from Cerrine and your healer, covering most story bosses.​​

Example water‑leaning starter team

Water teams shine once you unlock free characters from side content like fishing and episodes.​

  • Front row: Levia (from the Leviathan questline), a free water‑leaning support/DPS from Symphonies or episodes, and a story healer.​
  • Back row: generic DPS like Aldo or Azami (AS/base) as off‑element damage and an additional support.​​

Levia brings very strong magic damage for free, so pairing her with another water unit and a healer gives you a reliable element core for bosses weak to water.​​

General F2P/story team template

Even without aiming at one element, you can build a robust all‑rounder squad just from story and free episodes.​

  • 2 main DPS: Aldo plus one other free “top 10” damage dealer such as Cerrine AS, Azami AS, Curio, or Gariyu.​​
  • 1 healer/support: free healers or hybrid supports from early episodes or Symphonies, chosen for consistent heals and basic buffs.​​
  • 1 flex: any free character that brings useful debuffs, extra coverage, or tankiness depending on the fight.​
  • 2 reserves: rotate extra DPS and a backup healer in the back row to manage MP and trigger Valor Chants.​

To see which story/episode units are available on your account and which are currently considered strongest, lean on:

Using those resources, you can plug specific free units into these templates and evolve your starter story team into a full F2P roster over time.
