Among these changes, five top-tier lineups stand out, excelling in both stage halves and high-difficulty content like Fictional Narrative with their unique mechanics and adaptability.

Top 5: Dot Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Sustain
Hysilens	Kafka	Black Swan	Huohuo/Hyacine/Lingsha/Aventurine/Gallagher

This DOT team excels with remarkable strengths. Centered around Hysiliens as the Main DPS, it leverages the synergistic mechanics of Kafka and Black Swan to unleash relentless, multi-layered damage-over-time effects, making it a powerhouse in prolonged battles where its total damage output skyrockets.

The team boasts exceptional mechanical synergy—Kafka’s abilities reliably trigger Hysiliens’ and Black Swan’s DOTs, while Black Swan amplifies both the damage and trigger frequency of these effects, forming a cohesive and potent DOT-driven ecosystem. For sustain, the flexibility of options like Huohuo, Lyngsha, Aventurine, and Gallagher allows players to tailor survival strategies to enemy mechanics and personal playstyles, ensuring durability in lengthy encounters.

Additionally, its proficiency in handling multiple foes simultaneously makes it a top choice for crowd-control scenarios, as DOTs efficiently spread across all targets, eliminating the need for time-consuming single-target focus that plagues some burst-oriented lineups.

 

Top 4: Erudition Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Sustain
The Herta	Jade/Herta	Tribbie	Lingsha/Hyacine

This Erudition Team delivers exceptional AoE damage and tactical flexibility. Centered on The Herta’s potent multi-target attacks, the lineup leverages Jade/Herta’s synergistic support to amplify AoE output, while Tribbie’s buffs and skill acceleration keep the offensive momentum relentless.

With sustain options like Lingsha or Hyacine, the team balances relentless multi-enemy clearing power with reliable survivability, making it a standout choice for efficiently dominating wave-based encounters and high-density enemy scenarios.

Sunday enhances the team’s overall offensive capabilities through buffs and skill coordination, and Ruan Mei amplifies Anaxa’s damage potential with her specialized stat boosts and support mechanics.

Together, they form a cohesive unit that can quickly eliminate high-priority targets, making it a top choice for tackling bosses and content where focused, overwhelming damage is key.

 

Top 2: Phanion Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Support
Phanion	Cerydra	Sunday	Ruan Mei / Traiblazer·Remembrance / Tingyun

This team excels in single-target burst dominance through the synergy of Phanion and Cerydra. Phanion, as the Main DPS, specializes in high-multiplier, focused damage against individual foes, with a kit built to stack bonuses and deliver decisive, boss-slaying strikes. Cerydra amplifies this potential by providing offensive buffs, crowd control, and energy management, ensuring Phanion can unleash his most potent abilities frequently while priming enemies for maximum damage.

Sunday further boosts the team’s offensive rhythm with stat bonuses and support mechanics, while the flexible fourth slot allows customization—whether for hyper-focused damage, utility/sustain, or consistent energy regeneration. They form a cohesive unit that excels in boss fights and elite encounters, delivering relentless, high-impact single-target damage through perfectly aligned buffs, debuffs, and mechanical synergy.

 

Top 1: Castorice Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Sustain
Castorice	Evernight / Traiblazer·Remembrance	Tribbie	Hyacine

This team excels in its well-balanced synergy across damage, support, and sustain. Castorice, as the Main DPS, delivers substantial burst or sustained damage as the core offensive force. The two Support units, Evernight/Trailblazer-Remembrance and Tribbie, complement each other to provide robust damage boosts, skill cooldown reduction, energy recharge, and possibly resistance shred, maximizing Castorice’s damage potential and ensuring smooth skill rotation. Meanwhile, Hyacine, in the Sustain role, offers healing, shielding, or damage reduction to keep the team healthy, enabling consistent performance even in prolonged or high-pressure encounters.

This team is a well-rounded composition that balances high damage output, layered support buffs, and reliable sustain. It leverages Castorice’s offensive prowess, amplified by dual supports’ damage and utility enhancements, while Hyacine ensures the team’s longevity—making it effective in various combat scenarios.
