Rankings based on Version 1.2 Umbral Monument combat and industrial integration meta analysis. Subject to change with game updates.
Meta-Defining Hypercarries
Meta-Defining Hypercarries - Built around a single T0 damage dealer. Highest clear speeds in the game.
Wuling Authority
Zhuang is the strongest operator in the game by a huge margin. Perlica sets the engine, Arclight provides SP, and Gilberta groups enemies for Zhuang's chain lightning.
Melt Queen
Most stable gameplay experience. Wulfgard builds Heat stacks rapidly, enabling Laevatain's massive Combustion nukes while Ardelia heals.
Cryo-Nature Executioners
Premier Boss Killer comp. Uses Gilberta for grouping and Ardelia for Corrosion, allowing the two Cryo leads to trigger massive Solidification spikes.
Elemental Resonance
Elemental Resonance Engines - Rely on continuous elemental reactions rather than single burst windows.
Cryo Burst Control
Excels at stage 3 boss encounters. Tangtang's full-screen time stop creates perfect windows for Yvonne's Crit-based nukes.
Premium Electro
Mechanically demanding team. Focuses on managing Avywenna's Thunderlances while Perlica and Arclight maximize Electrification uptime.
Pure Physical Gold
The Gold Standard for physical damage. Features dense chain skills and satisfying combat flow but is highly expensive to build.
Specialized & Hybrid
Specialized & Hybrid - Highly effective in specific scenarios with stricter rotation requirements.
Rossi Hybrid
Uses Rossi to transform Arts Inflictions into Physical Vulnerability stacks. Gilberta is the best partner due to her hybrid Arts/Physical buffs.
Ember Stagger
Defensive powerhouse. Ember provides personal sustain and shields while the rest of the team focuses on Physical Breach and Crush damage.
Standard Electric
Versatile F2P-friendly Electric squad. Antal provides Electric Susceptibility and Heat Amp to boost the sub-DPS output of Perlica and Akekuri.
F2P Starters
F2P & Budget Starters - Highly accessible squads for early-to-mid game content.
Physical Steamroller
High-value F2P team. Uses Da Pan for Stagger damage and the Endministrator for Physical payoffs once Vulnerability is stacked.
Ice Crusher
Focuses on applying Cryo Infliction for Alesh to Solidify enemies, followed by the Endministrator triggering Shatter reactions.
Cryo Core Starter
One of the safest starter choices for new players. Scales well as enemies grow more durable.
