F2P-Friendly Teams

National Team

Team Members: Xiangling (Sub-DPS), Durin (Sub-DPS), Xingqiu (Hydro Application), Bennett (Battery/Healer)

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Xiangling	Durin	Xingqiu	Bennett

This team excels as a powerful "Double Pyro" core that maximizes off-field damage and reaction consistency. The combination creates perfect synergy through Pyro Resonance for a permanent 25% ATK boost, while Bennett acts as both a universal battery and healer, ensuring smooth energy rotation for all characters.

Xingqiu's relentless Hydro application enables continuous Vaporize reactions from both Xiangling's Pyronado and Durin's Dragon attacks, creating layered damage that overwhelms enemies. Durin adds unique flexibility—switching between White Flame for AoE resistance shred or Dark Decay for single-target Vaporize damage—without disrupting the team's core mechanics.

Survivability is reinforced through Xingqiu's damage reduction and minor healing, complemented by Bennett's burst healing and cleanse. This setup maintains high damage output while offering exceptional comfort in combat.

As a highly accessible team, it utilizes popular 4-star characters making it ideal for both new and experienced players. This creates a perfectly balanced team that combines overwhelming damage, consistent reactions, and reliable sustainability.

This team creates a highly effective Overload composition with strong synergy. Fischl provides continuous Electro application and energy generation for Lisa's high-cost burst, while Durin's off-field Pyro enables constant Overload reactions. Sayu enhances the team's damage through Viridescent Venerer resistance shred for both Electro and Pyro, while providing essential healing and crowd control. The rotation is smooth and sustainable, making it particularly accessible for free-to-play players.

This cost-effective team demonstrates outstanding rotational smoothness while maximizing Durin's value in Melt compositions, representing an exceptionally efficient team-building approach.

 

Team Building Principles

Energy Management:

- Always include at least one battery character

Reaction Priority:

- White Flame excels with Overload, Burning, and Swirl

- Dark Decay prioritizes Vaporize and Melt reactions

- Build EM according to your primary reaction type

Synergy Considerations:

- Pair White Flame with characters who trigger frequent elemental reactions

- Match Dark Decay with strong Hydro/Cryo applicators

- Always include grouping for White Flame's AoE potential

- Consider resistance shred stacking for maximum damage output
