Creation of a squad Honkai: StarRail is of paramount importance, since the gameplay is based on interactions between characters and turn-based battles that require an individual approach. Each hero has his own Path (class), element and a unique set of abilities that can be decisive in a particular battle.
To win, it is necessary not only to think over a strategy, but also to pre-assemble a team, taking into account many factors: synergy, the level and strength of enemies, their number, vulnerabilities, and so on. In this guide, we will tell you in detail which characters to put in a squad in order to select the best builds in Honkai: StarRail.
How to build a squad in Honkai: Star Rail
There are 4 main factors to consider when putting together a team:
Elements
The elemental system is quite important, and although it can be ignored early in the game, once more difficult content is unlocked (Simulated Universe, Oblivion Hall и Pure fiction) the team will need to be created in accordance with the types of enemy vulnerabilities. In addition, it is worth keeping in mind that all opponents initially have a weakness to several elements at once, so it is not necessary to use characters of only one element. Groups of 2, 3, and even 4 types can be quite effective if you determine in advance the vulnerabilities that are displayed next to the level and names of the monsters, and select the right heroes.
Synergy
Character interaction is an equally important aspect when building a team in HSR. It is important to understand how heroes can complement, strengthen and compensate for each other's weaknesses. For example, for Doctors Ratio need debuffs on enemies, so it goes perfectly with Silver Wolf, which has various negative effects in its arsenal. But the opposite situation also happens: some characters work poorly in one group or act much better separately. For example, Blade It is advisable to take damage to trigger the talent, which is why it interacts poorly with shield warriors or heroes with high Taunt.
Skill Points
Skill Points. To use the skill, skill points are required, which are restored by a normal attack. Since the group shares a meter, they must be managed effectively to realize the build's full potential. Generally, the goal is to have "neutral" point consumption, where points are generated and spent at the same rate. Thanks to this, the main DD deals more damage due to the constant use of the skill, while the supports prefer the basic attack. Mostly damage dealers always consume more points than they create and vice versa, support generates more than they consume.
Path
All heroes have predefined roles that they perform in battle. Paths directly determine abilities, in what order and how often a character moves, what kind of damage he deals, and much more. The class system allows you to create the optimal build for any mode or content. For example, in Pure Fiction Characters of the Path of Erudition are in great demand, as they deal massive damage in an area and clear waves of enemies without any problems. However, it also happens that heroes have hybrid mechanics or move a little away from their basic specialization. For example, Acheron more of a damage dealer than a debuffer, although it belongs to Non-existence, and Hoho, in addition to healing, increases attack power and restores energy.
In a separate article, we talked in more detail about Paths: what they influence and what characters are included there.
Next, we will look at how to balance these factors to create the most effective team in Honkai: Star Rail.
The principle of formation of units
There are several principles that can guide you when putting together a squad.
Main DD + heroes of the Path of Harmony
One of the most common types of squads is a build with one hypercarry (main DD) and two Path of Harmony support characters. The main damage in this case is dealt by the named damage dealer, while the rest of the allies are aimed at strengthening and protecting him as much as possible. At the same time, it is important not to forget about one of the factors in creating a team - synergy. For example, it is not recommended to use in one group Armor и Sparkle due to a suboptimal combination of their abilities.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
The squad is easy to implement. Main DD takes most of the attention, while supports simply apply buffs on cooldown. | Lack of "flexibility". For example, if a damage dealer has the fire element, such a team will perform poorly against enemies with other vulnerabilities, etc. |
It is enough to invest in one damage dealer. This is due to the fact that often support heroes are not so demanding in terms of leveling and assembly. | Dependence on support. Without supports, the damage dealer begins to suffer, which is why the death of at least one of them has a negative impact on the entire group. |
Low consumption of skill points. Basically, only the main DD spends skill points - while the buffs are in effect, the allies always use the basic attack. |
Main DD + heroes of the Path of Oblivion
A special feature of the team is the presence of two representatives of the Path of Nothingness and one damage dealer. There are no Harmony buffers in the build, as the emphasis is on constantly weakening opponents by imposing negative effects on them. Such units are not found very often, but there are characters who need heroes of the Path of Oblivion for certain mechanics to work, for example, To Doctor Ratio и Acheron.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
More flexible assembly. Characters of the Path of Oblivion not only debuff, but also deal damage at the same time, which makes such a squad more versatile against enemies with different vulnerabilities. | High consumption of skill points. Almost all heroes on the team want to use a skill to deal damage or inflict negative status. |
Reveals the potential of certain heroes. As mentioned earlier, a group like this pairs well with character mechanics that need constant debuffs. | Requires large investments. Representatives of the Path of Nothingness are more demanding on the build than the Path of Harmony, which makes leveling up the squad more difficult. |
Rotation needs to be considered. Due to the increased spending of skill points, greater player involvement is required for the group to operate effectively. |
Balanced teams
Another common principle for building a squad is to combine characters from different Paths. This allows you to balance the group without losing the ability to weaken enemies and at the same time strengthen the main damage dealer. The most common combinations:
- Primary damage control + secondary damage control + Nothingness/Harmony + Conservation/Abundance.
- Main DD + Oblivion + Harmony + Conservation/Abundance.
In terms of pros and cons, the assembly is in the middle between the previous groups. For example, in terms of rotation and leveling up, a squad is easier to implement than with two heroes of Nothingness, but more difficult than with two representatives of Harmony.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
The assembly is convenient in that it suits most characters and offers more combinations and possibilities than other teams. | While the main DD still gets buffs and enemy debuffs increase damage somehow, personal DPS may be lower than in a hypercarry lineup. |
Universal for closing content. Regardless of the mode, the squad will be effective due to the presence of a variety of mechanics for any situation. |
Mono units (focus on one type of damage)
A specific, but in certain situations, strong build option is a mono-elemental team consisting of one element. In most cases, mono-quantum assembly is in demand due to Silver Wolf, which can create a vulnerability to the element of one of the allies. Since the Wolf herself owns the quantum type, she is a universal combat unit in a mono-squad of her element. There are other teams, but they rely only on the presence of corresponding weaknesses in their opponents.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Very high damage to enemies if they are vulnerable to the desired element. As a rule, opponents die instantly due to the constant decrease in the stamina scale. | Doesn't work well against targets with other weaknesses. If the unit is mono-fire, and the enemies have other vulnerabilities, the characters will still be able to deal damage, but it will be noticeably lower. |
Simple gameplay, suitable for auto combat. If the conditions for the correct operation of the team are met, there is no need to select a target for attack, since all enemies are already vulnerable to the group element. | It is desirable to have characters that increase the damage of the element. For example, Asta followed by “Ignition” increases the fire damage of all allies, and Yukong followed by “Bow of Legacy” - imaginary damage. |
It's rare that all monsters have a weakness to a given element. Teams like this, with the exception of mono-quantum with Silver Wolf, are difficult to find use for, especially against a group of enemies. |
Units through the penetration effect
Teams, through the penetration effect, focus on causing damage that occurs after the enemy’s durability (vulnerability) bar has been completely reduced. Potentially, absolutely any squad is capable of playing through penetration with the appropriate build, however, there are characters who directly specialize in this type of damage. They reduce enemies' stamina much faster and can even ignore their weaknesses, e.g. Xueyi.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Rapidly decreases the enemy's durability scale. Due to the high penetration efficiency, the group is able to completely remove the armor of even an elite monster within one cycle. | For comfortable gameplay you need ruan mei. The heroine offers a variety of boosts related to the penetration effect. Without it, the unit will not only decrease its durability more slowly, but also deal less damage from penetration. |
Increased impact from the penetration effect. For example, imaginary penetration will allow you to delay the action of the enemy target longer, and wind penetration will cause more periodic damage with Weathering. | Characters who initially have weak penetration efficiency and do not have their own bonuses for this stat in their arsenal show themselves weaker in a team that focuses on this type of damage. |
In a separate article, you can read a detailed guide on how the breakout effect works.
The best teams to complete the story
The gameplay is divided into several story stages, within which the relevance of a certain type of assemblies increases or decreases.

Dan Heng | Phys. hero | Asta Natasha | March 7 | A completely free team that is comfortable with the starting content and storyline. Dan Heng is the main damage dealer, can slow down enemies and deal wind damage to single targets. The Physical Pathfinder does additional damage, including against multiple enemies. Asta increases the speed and attack power of allies, and breaks through fire vulnerability with a skill. March 7 casts a shield, performs a bonus attack, and freezes. If there are problems with survivability, Asta can be replaced with Natasha or any other healer. |
Serval Hertha qingque | Dan Heng Sushan | Asta Yukong | Natasha Lynx | A unit suitable for battle against a single target or group of enemies. Serval/Gerta/Qingque deal area damage, while Dan Heng/Sushang concentrate on one enemy. It is optimal to place Path of Harmony characters, for example, Asta or Yukun, in the support position. The assembly is completed by heroes who provide healing to allies. |
Xueyi Hook Arlan Misha | Asta Yukong tingyun | Natasha Lynx | March 7 Fire. hero | The heroes of the Path of Destruction act as the main damage dealers. Any representative of the Path of Harmony is placed next to them as support. In this case, Abundance and Conservation are combined to ensure maximum group survivability. After receiving the second element, Fire Pathfinder can replace March 7. |
Dan Heng Sushan | Asta Yukong Hanja | sang Guinaifen Luke | Natasha Lynx | The Path of the Hunt is the basis of the squad. They deal most of their damage to a single target. Instead of additional protection or two Harmony characters, you can install a Path of Oblivion debuffer to weaken enemies and increase the damage they receive. In addition, heroes of this class are also capable of dealing damage, serving as secondary damage dealers. |
Sampo Serval | Guinaifen Luke | tingyun Asta Hanja | Natasha Lynx | Budget team through damage over time. Characters of the first/second position deal damage by imposing DoT statuses (Weathering, Shock, Burning, Bleeding).

Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
---|---|---|---|---|
Yanqing | Welt | Yukong | Cheetah March 7 | Yanqing is the main damage dealer, dealing ice damage to a single target. Since it is undesirable for him to receive damage for the talent to work, a shield warrior, for example, Cheetah, is placed in the squad. March 7 can be used instead, but the protection in this case becomes weaker. Velt is a debuffer that deals imaginary damage and at the same time weakens enemies, imposing the Imprisonment status on them. |
Yanqing | Armor Hanja | Natasha | Cheetah Fire. hero | Another variant of the previous build. Instead of Welt, Armor is placed, which is a character of the Path of Harmony and provides Yanqin with an increase in attack power, crit. and damage caused, allows you to immediately perform an action (move). Alternative support - Chania. For additional survivability, a healer is used in conjunction with the Preservation Path character. |
Himeko | Clara Welt | Asta | Bailu Natasha | Himeko deals fire damage in an area with her skills and bonus attack. Clara not only tanks, but also deals additional physical damage to several targets. Asta increases speed, attack power and fire damage with the help of the trail. Bailu/Natasha heal allies if necessary. |

Ruan Mei increases damage dealt, effect and penetration efficiency/Armor increases crit. damage, attack power, and advances the action, allowing you to retake the move. Tingyun gives a buff to attack power and energy recovery. Cheetah puts up shields to minimize Yanqin taking damage. |
Seele Xueyi qingque | Sparkle Armor | Silver Wolf sang | Fu Xuan Lynx | Zele/Xuei/Qingque focuses on dealing damage, while Twilight/Armor buffs them to push the action forward. Silver Wolf creates vulnerability to the quantum element (including wind, if Armor is used) or Pela lowers the defense of all enemies. Fu Xuan/Lynx - support the team's survivability. |
Devour. Moon Ratio | Sparkle Yukong | Silver Wolf | Locha Lynx | A strong squad through imaginary and quantum penetration. Regardless of the enemy's weakness, Silver Wolf will allow you to reduce the stamina scale thanks to his skill. Moon Eater/Ratio are damage dealers that deal huge imaginary damage, especially while under buffs. |
Kafka | Black Swan Sampo | ruan mei Hanja | Hoho | A team that plays through damage over time performs well against bosses. The combination of Kafka and Black Swan/Sampo (or another DoT character) is especially effective due to the fact that the Stellaron Hunter instantly activates all applied effects from the lane. damage. Hoho is useful for passive healing, energy restoration and increased attack power. |
jingliu | Blade | Armor | Locha Lynx | Jingliu and Blade, despite the fact that they are both damage dealers, interact well with each other. If the enemy has a weakness to the ice and wind elements, the squad will deal with him quite quickly, especially under the buffs of the Path of Harmony support, for example, Armor. Due to the Jingliu and Blade mechanics, a well-leveled healer is a must. |
Dan Heng | Hook Phys. hero Arlan | Asta | Bailu Natasha | Dan Heng is the main DD around whom the squad is built. He needs supports/sub-deaders who provide various buffs, protection or healing. Hook/Pathfinder/Arlan – secondary damage dealers that deal damage to multiple enemy targets. Asta - increases attack speed and power. The Abundance character is placed in the last slot (can be replaced with Conservation). |
Sushan | Xueyi qingque Misha | tingyun | Lynx Natasha | Budget option from epic characters. Xueyi and Qingque deal extra damage and penetrate quantum vulnerability. Instead, you can consider another sub-DD, for example, Misha. Tingyun strengthens Sushan and minor damage dealers, increasing their damage and attack power, and also restores energy. Lynx or Natasha support the squad with healing. |
Best units for farming (area damage)
Teams suitable for completing activities such as “Sepal (crimson)” and “Sepal (golden)”. In addition, the listed assemblies are effective in mode Pure fiction, where massive damage and quick clearing of enemy waves are in demand.
Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |

To penetrate additional vulnerabilities and deal more damage, you can use Himeko or Clara. Asta deals damage to several targets with his skill, increases attack power and speed. Fu Xuan/Cheetah protect the party. |
Kafka | Black Swan Sampo | Guinaifen | Fire. hero | Detachment across the lane. the damage is effective both against large mobs and against waves of enemies due to skills that apply to several targets or to all mobs at once. In order to clear waves faster, you can neglect the Path of Harmony for another damage dealer with AoE damage. The Fire Pathfinder applies shields and also deals fire damage in an area. |
Argenti | Sparkle Hanja | tingyun | Hoho Natasha | Argenti is a physical main DD who can handle activities that require massive damage without any problems. Since his main source of DPS is his ultimate, it is necessary to assemble the squad in such a way as to maximize energy. To do this, it is advisable to put Tingyun and Hoho in the squad. Twilight and Hanya apply buffs and restore skill points. |
jingliu | Blade | Armor | Locha Lynx | Like the DoT damage group, Jingliu and Blade's squad is quite versatile and is also suitable for clearing waves of enemies. Both characters inflict damage on several targets in parallel to each other, thanks to which the enemies quickly die. Armor increases attack power, damage, and allows you to immediately perform an action. Considering the mechanics of the main DD, the healer should be well pumped. |
Himeko | Hertha qingque | Asta | Bailu | Himeko deals fire damage, while Gerta has a talent that allows her to perform a bonus attack on enemies with HP below 50%. Qingque, who can perform an enhanced AoE strike and damage an area with her ult, is also suitable instead. Asta extends bonuses to attack power and speed. Bailu periodically uses healing if the HP of allies sags. |
Serval qingque | Hertha | sang Sampo | March 7 | Budget option from epic and free characters. Serval/Qingque deal most of the damage while Gerta finishes off enemies who are at half health or below. For the last two slots, you can take Nothingness characters to debuff your opponents. For example, Pela will lower defense, and Sampo will delay his actions and deal periodic damage. |

Characters that will fit into most squads
The table shows universal heroes who perform effectively in many teams.
Character | Path | Damage type | Features |
---|---|---|---|
Armor | Harmony | Wind | A standard Path of Harmony character with strong and useful buffs at any stage. Armor allows you to immediately perform an action (move), increases damage done, attack power and crit. damage Has useful traces that additionally increase all damage and defense of allies. |
Sparkle | Harmony | Quantum | Event character Harmony with mechanics similar to Armor: increases damage and crit. damage, advances the action forward by 50%. In addition, it restores skill points, which is especially important for damage dealers who are demanding in terms of skill points. Next, it increases the attack power for each ally of the quantum element. |
ruan mei | Harmony | Ice | Event representative of the Path of Harmony with various buffs: increases damage dealt, speed, efficiency and penetration effect. In addition, it can passively damage and increase the penetration of resistance of all types of elements, delaying the actions of enemies and prolonging the state of broken vulnerability. |
tingyun | Harmony | Электрический | An epic buffer that offers increased damage and attack power. However, one of the main features of the character is the ability to restore energy to a selected ally, which is in demand not only for the main damage dealers, but also for the rest of the squad. |
Silver Wolf | Nihility | Quantum | One of the most useful heroes of the Path of Nothingness with unique mechanics that allows Inflict on the enemy the same type of vulnerability as the element of a random ally. This opens up the possibility of creating units independent of enemy weaknesses. Silver Wolf also reduces defense, attack power and speed. |
sang | Nihility | Ice | Path of Oblivion Debuffer of epic rarity. He is in great demand and can be used as a support/sub-DD in any group. Pela lowers the defense of all enemies on the battlefield, and also removes a buff from one enemy. In many situations, these mechanics can have a significant impact on the outcome of a battle. |
Fu Xuan | Preservation | Quantum | Save Path character from the event banner. Unlike most heroes of its class, it does not apply shields, but instead creates The Matrix of Foresight, which transfers a portion of the damage received by allies to Fu Xuan. She can also heal a little, deal damage, and increase crit. chance and HP. |
Locha | Abundance | Imaginary | Limited edition hero of the Path of Abundance. Summons a Magic Circle on the battlefield that passively heals allies when they attack opponents. Can heal instantly if health drops to 50% or below and remove debuffs. No less remarkable is the ultimate, which removes one positive effect from all enemies. |
Hoho | Abundance | Wind | Event representative of the Path of Abundance. Like Locha, it can passively heal due to the Sacrificial Offering of Life status: at the beginning of an ally's turn, after using a super ability, or when HP drops to half. Removes weakening from squad members, and with an ultimate increases attack power and restores energy to the entire group. |
Lynx | Abundance | Quantum | Four star healer. Heals the skill of several allies, and if they belong to the Path of Destruction or Conservation, it increases their chances of being attacked. With his superpower, he heals the entire team, removing one debuff at a time. Both skills apply a periodic healing effect to party members. |
Read on:We hope our guide helped you understand the basics of building a squad in Honkai: Star Rail. If something is not clear or you have questions, write about it in commentswe will be happy to help. For more guides, see the section on game guides.
Who would fit better into the second rookie squad instead of Asta - Pela or Tingyun? Or are both ok?
Pela and Tingyun have completely different gameplays, but both heroines are good.
Pela wins by cutting off the defense of all enemies with her ult, which is especially suitable if there are two damage control heroes in the squad. Tingyun primarily works on one target, increasing damage, attack power and filling energy. You should choose based on your personal preferences and needs. ~
Is spark that bad? didn't insert it anywhere
This article is already less relevant in its essence.
All the most effective units are indicated in articles dedicated to the character (build for Sparkle).
please tell me the squad with Jing Yuan and Jing Liu
Klara, Zele, silver wolf and Natasha, okay?
Then I plan to put baila/hoho instead of Natasha
Can you suggest a squad with a dan hyung: the Moon Eater. I'm just in the dungeon
You can look at his build for examples of units with the Moon Eater: https://wotpack.ru/pozhiratel-luny-v-honkai-star-rail-luchshij-bild/
Can I team up with Doctor Ratio? And at the time of the guide’s release, it seems that it had not yet been introduced
As time permits, we’ll add to this article, but in the meantime you can look at examples of units in Dr. Ratio’s build: https://wotpack.ru/doktor-racio-v-honkai-star-rail-gajd-bild/
argenti with signa, kafka, march7, doctor ratio
Jingliu Detachment, Pela S6, Ruan Mei S2, Hoho
Armor, hoho, blade, moon eater.
And norma den han, cheetah, asta, tyunyun
if it's a little guy, then no, but if it's ordinary, then yes
to pozhik optimal squad pozhik locha ting yun sang
Is it possible to use Sampo as a sport for periodic damage (well, like Serval Bailou Hook and Sampo)?
the hook doesn’t fit very well, it’s better to put the bow that came out
I now have a squad, Moon Eater, Velt, Fu Xuan, Natasha. It seems to be normal, but I don’t know. It was very difficult to decide who to put in the squad.
In the presence (legs) Zele, Yang Qin s1, Jilyun, Cheetah, Himeno with two signs, Welt, Moon Eater Danya, Fu Xuan, Blade.
I’m now thinking of downloading Tingyun, c4 just fell out
for the poor, it’s better to loch like a heal, and ting yun and sing like buffs
Topaz, Pela, Clara, Lynx. Is it a normal pack or should I change something?
Is it a good idea to make such a pack
Armor + Tingyun + Healer (so far Natasha, but I hope someone will be better) + Hunting/Erudition depending on the battle
There is no particular interest in knocking out the most effective combination for each DD separately and it is interesting whether such a set will be universal and playable at high levels?)
Detachment: Locha, Zele, Yuikun, Wolf.
This squad goes through all the content. 62 rank. What do you think: is it worth changing something?
if it’s a general, then change it, and if it’s silver, then it’s a thrill
Rate the squad (rank 35):
Bailu, Yangqin, Himeko and Silver Wolf
The squad is good. True, the Wolf can create a vulnerability to electricity, but if this is not critical for you, then everything is in order. The hero is already quite useful and strong)
It seems to me that Himeko is out of place, it’s better to use Pelu or Ting Yu as an example, but if it’s for farming resources, then it’ll do
Please tell me rank 31 squad: silver wolf, bailu, jin yuan, tingyun
Is the squad Jin Yuan e1 with a sign, Himeko e0 with a sign, Yukong e2 and Bailu e1 or Cheetah e0 good?
Yu kun gives an inconvenient buff, better than tin yu, but in principle you can leave it like that (in hill it’s better to lochu, and in tank fuska)
Estimated squad =))) 42 rank. Silver wolf, yanqin, clara, bailu
The team is good and working. There shouldn't be any survivability issues either. The main thing to consider is that the Wolf skill can create a vulnerability to Electro due to Bile (which is not the most favorable outcome). However, this is not critical and does not require a mandatory restructuring of the team. Since the Wolf imposes a lot of other debuffs, and the damage will still be quite a lot, even if the wrong weakness procs.
rate the squad, mastery level 38!
yanqing, wolf, tingyun and bailu.
I have rank 10, my squad: cheetah, tinyun, tribute hyung and pele. Is this a normal group?
Yes, this is a good balanced squad)
Tell me, please, is the detachment normal?
Clara - dd/tank. March 7 - shields. Natasha is a healer. Jin Yuan - main damage dealer?
Is the team normal?
Yanqing, Herta, Serval, Natasha
It is advisable for Yanqing to put a shield man so that he does not receive damage, since otherwise his talent stops working. You can leave Serval, Natasha, and instead of Herta add March 7 or Cheetah so that there is not too much ice.
Can you please tell me if the detachment is normal?
Clara, Seele, Tingyun/March 7, Natasha
Please tell me if the squad is normal?
Clara, Zele, Tingyun/March 7
Yes, the squad is good) the main thing at the beginning of the battle is to put a shield on Clara so that she takes on most of the blows of the enemies. Well, later, if all allies have full health, it is better to use the skill on Clara or on March 7 itself, since they initially have a high taunt
For some reason, Natasha hasn't been added there yet 🙁
Clara, Seele, Tingyun/March 7, Natasha
And yes, thanks for the reply!
tell me the rules of the squad?
Bailu, Cheetah, Seele, Jin Yuan
Yes, the team is good. However, if the Cheetah is sufficiently leveled, it is possible to abandon Bailu in favor of a character with a Path of Harmony buffer or an Eternal debuffer (for example, take Armor, Asta, Tingyun, Pelu or Welt)
Normal Squad - Gg Phiz, Bailu, Dan Heng, Serval??
I would replace Dan Heng/phys GG with any support/debuff according to the situation. The same Sampo for breaking through wind vulnerabilities and increasing periodic damage goes very well to Serval because of its features of constant shock, Sang to cut off armor and amps from enemies (looks especially good on Xiangzhou), from free Asta, a relatively good variant, Tingyun or Armor is certainly better, Armor is even more so, but they still need to be knocked out, and Asta as a whole gives both speed and a little damage.
Please tell me the commands with the hook (Main DPS). Thank you in advance!
You can make the following commands:
Hook, Tingyun, Sang, Cheetah.
Hook, Asta, March 7, Natasha.
Hook, Armor, Asta, Bailu.
Hook, Serval, Fiery Pathfinder, Natasha.
These are just examples) so you can change heroes for specific needs or alternatives from the same Path
A team from Serval, Sampo, Natasha and Piro gg norms?
Replace Sampo with Tingyun. I don't think he's on topic here. Or that one.
Sampo will boost the periodic damage of Serval, which she has quite a lot. You can say you can kill the crowd with statuses. Well, in any case, this is a setup for cleaning up small trash in sepals and so on. It does not fit under Elites and bosses. Well, even if you don’t die, then you can kill some enemies for half an hour ....
