The four roles every starter team needs
A reliable early team usually needs one main damage dealer, one buffer or debuffer, one sustain (healer or shielder), and a flex slot for break, Weakness implant, or extra damage. Over-investing in four DPS characters with no sustain is the most common early-account mistake.
- Main DPS carries skill points or break bars
- Support accelerates turns, damage, or Weakness breaks
- Sustain keeps you alive through multi-wave content
- Flex slot plugs element gaps for MoC/PF cycles
Strong F2P-friendly shells
Use free characters like Trailblazer, March 7th, Dan Heng, Asta, and Natasha as the backbone. Pair them with whichever early 4★ DPS you pull, then follow that character's build page for relics and Light Cones instead of farming random sets.
- Browse Team Comps for full rotations and flex options
- Open each member's build page before spending Trailblaze Power
- Prioritize one team's traces before building a second MoC side
When to rebuild for the meta
Once you have a stable clear team, compare new limited characters against the tier list and your account's missing roles. Pulling a Harmony or Abundance upgrade often raises account power more than a third hypercarry.
