Meta Team Synergy Examples
- Khalipe + Magna + Mika:
Khalipe = AoE damage, Magna = shields/counters/boosted Celestials, Mika = AP batteries. Strong vs. multiwave bosses. - Rei + Renoa + Mika:
Rei gains deck cycling and burst when paired with Renoa (off-turn attack) and Mika (heals + extra AP). - Mei Lin + Tressa + Selena:
Bleed/DoT focus: Mei Lin chains, Tressa triggers procs, Selena boosts multi-hits. - Haru + Asteria:
Asteria’s passive stacks with Haru’s Anchor Shot for top-tier single-target boss melts. - Yuki + Nia/Veronica:
Yuki’s Inspiration effect pops more often with Nia’s discard-boost or Veronica’s AoE/support skills.
Partner Build Priorities
- Stats:
Boost partner HP and defense for tanks (Eishlen, Magna); prioritize ATK, crit rate/damage for DPS (Solia, Asteria, Kiara). - Ego Skills:
Level up partner Ego skills that boost teamwide effects (crit stack, shield, or morale gain). - Artifacts:
Equip partners with synergy artifacts matching your team’s main strategy (survivability, chain triggers, morale). - Class Matching:
Always assign partners to classes they boost: eg. Serithea for crit teams, Zeta for Instinct DPS, Janet for bullets/guns.
Partner Lore (Quick Highlights)
- Solia: Rumored founder of a secret resistance. Recruited for intelligence and unmatched tactical mind.
