Pela in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Detailed Team Guide

Pela in HSR, being an epic rarity character, is highly prized among players due to her universal debuff that lowers enemy defenses. The named negative effect is in demand for many DPS heroes, starting from representatives of the memosprite mechanics ending with units that actively burn their own or someone else's health to increase personal effectiveness.

In addition, the girl is considered an extremely economical support for skill points: between using her superpower, she actively uses her basic attack, only occasionally resorting to using a skill - for example, when it is necessary to rid an enemy target of a buff.

You shouldn't expect DPS from Pelageya Sergeyevna: the position of a secondary damage dealer is difficult for her, so the emphasis on such characteristics as crit. damage/chance does not justify itself. However, increasing combat power by leveling up speed and energy recovery will allow the intelligence officer to quickly perform her rotation and maintain the main debuff almost constantly.

The Heroine's Story

A young, intelligent and self-assured intelligence officer of the Silvermane Guards, she easily performs difficult tasks related to troop maneuvering, terrain analysis and supply delivery. She graduated with honors from the Belobog officer school and received two diplomas - in computer science and military affairs.

Outside of work, the girl's personality blossoms with new unexpected colors: the young activist is a drummer for the "Mechanical Fever" band, playing in the "rock and roll" style. In her free time, the heroine likes to visit not only the library, but also to take part in meetings on such books as the "Tale of the Winterlands", and also to anonymously spend large sums of money on publications. Who knows, maybe in addition to officer's documents, she also owns literary works on behalf of a devoted fan?

How to Get the Character

You can pull for Pela in the following banners:

• with some probability in the “Departure Warp” (newbie banner);
• along with other epic characters in the Star Warp (permanent standard banner);
• with an increased probability in the “Event Warp: Character”, if indicated in the list of 4⭐ heroes that are available for receipt simultaneously with the “limited” legendary character;
• with some chance on par with other epic characters in Event Warp: Light Cone.

In addition, during certain periods the heroine can be purchased for 140 Undying Embersin the section of the same name of Pom-Pom's Store.

Features

With the stages of ascension, the heroine's characteristics such as health (HP), attack power (ATK) and defense are leveled up.

How skills work

In battles, Ms. Sergeevna acts as a debuffer, imposing various debuffs on enemies. Among the heroine's abilities, the ultimate with a high defense cut is especially valuable, which applies to all enemy monsters on the field. Passive traces and eidolon buffs also contain powerful buffs that increase the value of the Silvermane Guards intelligence officer in various teams, including those with ice hyper-carries.

The girl's skill, in turn, removes the buffs that opponents impose on themselves during the battle: this feature will come in handy in protracted battles with bosses. However, the skill is not always relevant due to the lack of the ability to impose a buff on some enemies, so Pelageya is also "friendly" in relation to the spending of action points.

Active skills

Passive Skills

Leveling Order

Super Ability ≥ Talent > Skill > Basic Attack

• Ultimate Ability — This is the most important skill for both the heroine and the team she supports. The superpower should be leveled up first.
• Talent affects the frequency with which Pela can use her ultimate. The Zone Suppression ability is a powerful defense cutter, so it is used in rotation quite often.
• Skill becomes more important when you have E4 and an ice damage dealer on your team.
• Basic attack is leveled last, since it does not deal damage as such and is used exclusively to restore skill points.

Traces

The increases in parameters at maximum level are:

Eidolons

All consts:

The best constellations of Pela are the second and fourth ones:

• E2 will allow you to perform actions more often, and will also allow you to quickly achieve the “speed” build (160 speed and higher).
• E4 makes the Intelligence Officer the best support for ice damage dealers, additionally the value increases when cooperating with DPS representatives, for whom it is important to have as many debuffs on enemy targets as possible.

How to Play Pela in HSR

As a support character who specializes in debuffing enemies, the Intelligence Officer's primary role in combat is to inflict the status Exposed and maintain it over time. The girl does not cause any damage to opponents as such, and the principle of playing her can be called one of the simplest.

When building Pela's rotation, stick to the following tactics:

• The technique "Preemptive strike» is extremely powerful and is therefore especially recommended for use before battle. Attack the enemy with it to reduce the enemy's defense for the first 2 turns.
• If the technique was not used earlier, at the beginning of the battle activate your ult "Zone Suppression", to deprive enemies of some of their defense before the actions of allies and inflict ice AoE damage.
• If there is 1 buff on the enemy, be sure to remove it with the skill "Frostbite".
• Optimal rotation consists of alternating skills and basic attacks according to the following pattern: basic attack => skill => basic attackWhen playing, adjust to the team's skill point consumption, prioritizing the basic attack in most cases.
• Alternate skills until you have enough energy for the ultimate, then use it. Don't forget to make sure that the debuff from the ultimate is active when your allies deal the bulk of the damage. It is desirable that the debuff "Exposed" is present at the opponents constantly.

Strengths and Weaknesses

To maximize the potential of a unit, it is important to know its pros and cons.

Best Pela Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The effectiveness of negative statuses imposed by the girl does not depend on any characteristics, so when leveling, you should focus on increasing the chance of causing a debuff on the enemy and gaining the optimal frequency of using the ultimate. Let's highlight the most important characteristics in the Pela build in HSR:

• Effect Hit Rate — summed up with the basic chance to apply a debuff to the opponent. With an average parameter and a high percentage of resistance to effects on the enemy, the reduction of defense from the ult simply will not work, so leveling the indicator has the highest priority.
• Energy recharge - affects the number of turns (the number of activations of the basic attack and skill) that must be completed before the ult is fully charged.
• Speed is important for the debuffer to make a turn before other allies in order to have time to apply debuffs. Frequent actions also balance the expenditure and accumulation of skill points in the team.

Recommended Stats

When upgrading artifacts, we recommend paying attention to the following parameters:

Additional characteristics in the lower stats of relics:

• effect hit rate;
• speed;
• HP, defense, resistance to effects.

Optimal stat values:

• effect hit rate — up to 67%;
• speed — minimum 134, and ideally 160 and more.
• energy recharge - 119%;
• HP — 3 and more;
• Effect RES - Upgrade to 30% when playing with the ornaments set Broken Keel.

Light Cone Rating

The passive effect will not work on a character of the wrong path, so the choice of weapon will be the "cards" of the Path of Nihility. Consider the following stats when choosing a weapon for the heroine:

• effect hit rate;
• energy recovery;
• additional debuffs.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	When the owner hits an enemy that does not have the Ensnared status, he has a base chance of 60-100% to impose the status of Ensnared on this opponent. The defense of the enemy with the status of Ensnared is reduced by 12-16% for 1 turn.	If you don't have artifact stat issues, Light Cone is the best 4-star option that can be combined with with the main specialization of Pelageya. Weapons will prove to be a critical piece of equipment in builds where the damage dealer is equipped "Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters". Since the decrease in defense lasts only 1 turn, it is important for the girl to monitor the expiration of the effect on the enemy and update it in time with a skill or basic attack.
Incessant Rain ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Increases EHR by 24-40%. When the wearer deals damage to an enemy whose number of Debuffs is greater than or equal to 3, their Crit. chance increases by 12-20%. After using a basic attack, skill, or superpower, there is a 100% chance to apply the Aether Code status to the target. Damage taken by an enemy under this status is increased by 12-20% for 1 turn.	The cone helps balance out the hit chance of effects, but the rest of the bonus will not trigger unless the conditions are met. If you can maintain at least 3 weakens on the enemy and you have a choice between these cones, then choose “Incessant Rain”. Pelageya does not need a critical chance, but increasing the damage taken by the target is useful for the entire team.
Before the Tutorial Mission Starts ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Increases EHR by 20-40%. If the equipped hero attacks an enemy with reduced defense, he recovers 4-8 energy.	The cone could be obtained as part of the event "Starhunt Game", the 1.1 update. At the maximum level of superimposition of the 4-star weapon, it gives a huge increase in the chance to hit effects and, in addition, allows you to quickly cool down your ult.
Eyes of the Prey ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Damage over time is increased by 24-48% and the chance to hit effects is increased by 20-40%.	In the absence of alternatives, Light Cone is a good option, as it increases EHR. The remaining effects will not be useful to Pela, since the heroine does not have periodic damage.
Void ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the start of combat, increases the chance of hitting the wearer's effects by 20-40%.	The first choice among the available 3-star light cones. It is easy to increase the level of the superimposition to the maximum, which will give a huge increase in the chance to hit effects, comparable to 4 and 5☆ cones. The difference is that the gun has no other bonuses and the general parameters of the character will be lower.
In the Name of the World ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	The wearer's damage dealt to enemies with debuffs is increased by 24-40%. When the wielder uses a skill, the chance to hit the effects of that attack is increased by 18-30%, and the attack power is 24-40%.	A good cone for damage-focused Nihility heroes. Affects important parameters of the hit chance of effects, attack power and gives a bonus to damage dealt. However, increasing the hit chance of effects only works for a skill that is not a priority skill
Good Night and Sleep Well ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	For each Debuff on the target target, increase the damage dealt by the equipped character by 12-24%. The bonus stacks up to 3 times. This effect applies to DoT damage.	Signature Light Cone requires 3 debuffs on the enemy, but even if the conditions are met, it is only suitable for Pele with perfect equipment.

What relics and ornaments are needed

For cavern relics, it is necessary to look for such parameters as: effect hit rate and / or speed. In addition, it is important to pay attention to energy recharge in planar ornaments.

Cavern relics

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace  Guard of Wuthering Snow Longevous Disciple	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 2 parts: Reduces damage taken by 8%. 2 parts: increases max. Owner's HP by 12%.	Pela's functionality in teams is limited to applying a defense debuff, so the best artifact build is made up of speed and survivability sets. It is mandatory to equip two parts of the “Hackerspace”, which can be combined with the “Guard” or “Disciple” with advantageous main and secondary characteristics.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the wearer's speed by 6%, also increases their basic attack damage by 10%.	This Cavern Relic set is a variation of speed gear, but with an emphasis on increasing personal damage. Since Pela rarely uses the skill, the set is a valid alternative that increases the damage of the basic attack.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%.	A combination of speed and damage bonus sets will perform no worse than the Musketeer. Can be used as the main equipment in the case when Pela is provided with priority characteristics and has good survivability.
Eagle of Twilight Line	2 parts: Increases wind damage by 10%. 4 parts: After using an ultimate, the owner's action advances by 25%.	While two pieces of set won't do any good for the ice debuffer, action promotion is a pretty powerful mechanic that moves the character up in the turn queue. With the set in question, the Silvermane Guards intelligence officer will be able to take turns ahead of allies and monsters on a permanent basis.

Planar ornaments

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Penacony, Land of the Dreams	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the owner by 10%.	An excellent support set for Pela in the corresponding teams. Slightly increases the rate of energy recovery of the debuffer, and offers allies a percentage increase in damage if their element is ice. In the case where Pela is not assigned to one team, it is worth considering more universal alternatives.
Broken keel	2 parts: Increases wearer's resistance to effects by 10%. If the wearer's resistance to effects is greater than or equal to 30%, crit. The damage of all allies is increased by 10%.	The set provides an important survivability characteristic: “effect resistance”, which reduces the chances of enemies to inflict negative status and control effects. When the indicator reaches 30%, the second part of the set’s passive to increase crit will work. damage
Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases max. Owner's HP by 12%. If the owner's speed is higher than or equal to 120, then the attack power of all allies increases by additional. 8%.	The set is not inferior to the previous option due to the stable attack power buff, which is activated naturally as the heroine levels up. As a permanent effect, ornaments offer a health boost, which also increases survivability.
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases the wearer's energy recovery rate by 5%. If the owner's speed is greater than or equal to 120, then at the beginning of the battle his action advances by 40%.	An alternative set for restoring energy, which allows the character to be among the first to go at the beginning of the battle. Significantly inferior to the equipment discussed above and recommended in the absence of other options.
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise	2 parts: Increases the chance of the owner's effects to hit by 10%. Also increases the wearer's attack power by 25% of the current effect's hit chance. This effect can stack up to 25%.	Can be equipped in cases where EHR is critically low. The problem with the set is that it is not even partially implemented on Pela: the girl does not need to gain such a high value of effects for a sub-DD build, and attack power is useless for the debuffer.

Team Guide for Pela in HSR

In a team, Pela plays the role of a universal debuffer character, so the girl fits almost any team composition. The heroine's functionality is limited to cutting defense and the ability to remove debuff, but the power of the proposed negative effect fully compensates for the narrow focus. Throughout the battle, the unit maintains a negative status, using the ultimate as it gains energy, while at the same time being a stable source of skill points in the team.

Which characters are suitable?

The following heroes will prove to be good allies for the Silvermane Guard Intelligence Officer:

Character	Path	Damage type	Features
Clara	Destruction	Physical	A very useful 5-star character that provokes enemies. Be careful with Freeze teams, because in this state the hero will not be able to force opponents to attack her.
Yunli	Destruction	Physical	In its functionality it is reminiscent of Clara, as it is focused on taking damage and conducting counterattacks. It is also important for Yunli to be constantly attacked, which will make her perform poorly in Freeze.
Physical MC	Destruction	Physical	A good character in the early game, dealing a lot of physical damage both in one target and in the area. Out of combat, it can restore some health to allies.
Blade	Destruction	Wind	Takes the position of the main DPS-character and needs any representatives of the Path of Nihility. Perfectly compatible with Pela, which is able to lower the defense of enemies before crushing blows of the swordsman.
Imbibitor Lunae	Destruction	Imaginary	Imbibitor Lunae is considered to be a fairly strong DPS character that occupies an S+ position on the tier list. Pela makes for a great follower as she provides a massive damage boost through debuffs placed on enemies.
Mydei	Destruction	Imaginary	The Chrysos Heir of Amphoreus is a decent solo and AoE damage dealer who gets high personal DPS increases when spending his own health. Pela will further enhance his combat power in any content thanks to the defense debuff.
Firefly	Destruction	Fire	A damage-dealing heroine of the fire element, who makes enemies vulnerable to her element. Relies on break and super break damage, which can be increased by reducing enemies' defense. In addition, she is highly skill dependent, so she needs economical supports.
Jingliu	Destruction	Ice	Lowering enemy defense will increase Jingliu's damage output quite significantly. In addition, at E4 Pela has the opportunity to reduce resistance to the ice element.
Xueyi	Destruction	Quantum	Can act as both a main and a secondary damage dealer, supporting with her own DPS a more powerful representative of the damage-dealing Path. The main characteristic of the girl is break effect, therefore, she is extremely easy to build.
Hook	Destruction	Fire	Hook has the most diverse fire damage: explosive massive, on the selected enemy and passive thanks to the debuff "Combustion". The DoT damage from the latter status is especially effectively amplified by Pela.
Arlan	Destruction	Lightning	Arlan's damage is increased when he sacrifices his health. The character effectively breaks through Lightning vulnerability. Damage on the ultimate spreads from the selected target to neighboring ones.
Misha	Destruction	Ice	Main and secondary damage dealer, who can also serve as a debuffer. Accumulates hits for the ultimate skill every time the team spends skill points. In addition, the ultimate is inexpensive in energy and can inflict the Freeze status.
Aglaea	Remembrance	Lightning	After using the super ability, enters a special state called "Higher Form", in which it receives high speed increases and begins to deal a lot of damage due to frequent spam of the improved basic attack. It will have a good increase in outgoing damage due to Pela's main debuff.
Castorice	Remembrance	Quantum	Not easy to use, but quite a strong representative of her path. The girl drains the health of all party members to increase damage to herself and the memosprite, as well as restore energy. At the same time, the defense from Pela is reduced - it's a powerful debuff that will further enhance Castorice's combat potential.
The Trailblazer	Remembrance	Ice	Great support even for those characters that don't have summon mechanics (i.e. memosprite): Increases allies' critical damage, advances the action, and deals additional true-type damage.
Topaz and Numby	The Hunt	Fire	DPS hero specializing in bonus attacks. Receives huge advantages in combination with heroes who also know how to carry out bonus attacks. In addition, he can exist as an independent damage dealer, occupying a leading position in a team.
Feixiao	The Hunt	Wind	The Arbiter General excels at dealing with large enemies, relying on the bonus attack that comes with her talent, skill, and ultimate. She synergizes best with heroes that can deal additional damage, allowing her to charge up "Flying Aureus" for the Ultimate.
Doctor Ratio	The Hunt	Imaginary	Pela is a good representative of the Path of Nihility for Dr. Ratio, since the heroine is able to support the scientist with 2 active debuffs on an ongoing basis. To fully implement Veritas’ bonus attack, you can also equip the girl with the light cone “Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat”: in this case, the synergy between the heroes will increase more.
Boothill	The Hunt	Physical	One of the best representatives of the Path of the Hunt. Enters into a Duel with one opponent, inflicting crushing damage on him. Mainly prefers buffers, but is able to use debuffers as well. Pelageya will lower the defense of enemy targets and deal additional damage, which will be even more beneficial in some situations.
Yanqing	The Hunt	Ice	One of the best combinations if Pela has E4, which lowers the ice resistance of the enemy. Yanqing breaks out of the standard banner and is a damage dealer against single targets.
Seele	The Hunt	Quantum	If Pela can take action before her and have time to apply debuffs, then their bunch becomes the top one. Seele is a powerful quantum element DPS capable of making multiple attacks in a single turn.
Sushang	The Hunt	Physical	The sword stance allows the heroine to deal bonus physical damage to the enemy. A strong damage dealer that increases speed on the battlefield when the talent condition is triggered.
March 7	The Hunt	Imaginary	A secondary damage dealer who, using a skill, applies the positive effect “Shifu” to the selected ally. Deals good damage, and may well occupy the role of the main combat unit in a team. In addition, further boosts herself, advancing the action and increasing outgoing damage. With the acquisition of eidolons, gains the mechanics related to performing bonus attacks.
Dan Heng	The Hunt	Wind	Free good DD, to which Pela with a leveled trace The Secret Strategy will increase the chance of Slow hitting opponents. With this Debuff applied, Dan Heng's Ultimate deals even more damage.
Himeko	Erudition	Fire	An excellent choice for Pela, as Himeko has the ability to increase fire damage taken by enemies, which adds up to a decrease in defense. The heroine has the mechanics of bonus attacks and can inflict Burn.
The Herta	Erudition	Ice	The Scientist deals high area damage with her enhanced skill and super ability, but is also effective against single targets. In addition to Erudition characters, due to the mechanics, she will benefit from supports and units that can attack frequently, as this allows her to get more energy and collect special stacks of "Interpretations".
Rappa	Erudition	Imaginary	Ninja from the Galactic Rangers faction plays from break and specializes in depleting toughness. At the same time, she deals massive damage to all enemies on the battlefield on a stable basis with the help of the enhanced basic attack gained from the ultimate ability. If she or her allies break the weakness of enemies, she accumulates charges that further increase damage.
Jade	Erudition	Quantum	A secondary DPS character who prefers to fight against groups of enemies: the number of opponents on the battlefield directly determines the rate of accumulation of charge levels, which allow you to perform bonus attacks. As a skill, assigns an allied character as a “Debt Collector,” which additionally increases his speed by 30. When Debt Collector makes an attack, they deal quantum damage equal to Jade's attack power to each enemy they hit. At the same time, the Debt Collector spends 2% of their max. HP.
Argenti	Erudition	Physical	Physical main DPS with high AoE. It is most effective against a large number of targets, as it restores energy for each monster attacked. Accumulates levels of Apotheosis according to the same principle, each stack increases crit. chance up to the values ​​fixed in the talent.
Jing Yuan	Erudition	Lightning	The damage dealer belongs to the Path of Erudition, but has decent Lightning damage even on a single target. The Lord of Lightning summoned by him, the main source of damage, will noticeably increase with the defense of opponents cut off thanks to Pela. The creature accelerates, which makes it worthwhile to use Pelageya's ult more carefully, but even so, the bunch of heroes is quite strong.
Herta	Erudition	Ice	Herta's skillset contains bonus attackseffective in several purposes. Because of them, the character has unstable damage, but the ice element will become stronger with the 4th constellation of Pela.
Serval	Erudition	Lightning	Pela's trace will increase Serval's base Shock chance. The ability to reduce defense is extremely useful for periodic damage, in this case Lightning and mass damage.
Qingque	Erudition	Quantum	Qingque has inconsistent quantum damage, somewhat dependent on luck. The heroine, along with Pela, will be able to carry out strong attacks in the area. If Qingque has her trace "Winning Hand" leveled, make sure that she does not take turns before Pelageya.
Acheron	Nihility	Lightning	The main damage dealer, who has a special ult mechanic, for which you need to gain charge points of the Cleaved Dream instead of the usual energy. These points can be obtained by debuff enemies, which Pela can do well. In addition, she will help activate the “Abyss” trace, which requires Path of Nihility characters in the party.
Welt	Nihility	Imaginary	Pela will allow Welt to delay enemy actions more often. An imaginary debuffer can act not only as a support, but also as a secondary damage dealer, which Pelageya will greatly contribute if Welt has his trace Sanction.
Black Swan	Nihility	Wind	A character with periodic wind damage from the Arcana status, which also becomes all DoT effects after using the ultimate. In addition, she lowers defense and increases damage received by opponents.
Sampo	Nihility	Wind	Periodic wind damage and the presence of a base chance of inflicting the Wind Shear status will make Sampo a good ally for Pela.

Best team samples

With the above heroes you can create different types of teams:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Acheron Doctor Ratio	Welt Silver Wolf Cipher	Pela	Lingsha Gallagher	The classic Acheron team consists of 2 representatives of the Path of Nihility. Veritas is also suitable for the DPS role, since debuff is important for the character. Perfect candidates for the role of debuffers are: Pela, Silver Wolf, Cipher and Welt. However, you can also use other available characters of this path. An additional advantage of such a build is the constant debuffs that Acheron needs to activate the ult. Lingsha or Gallagher are healers who impose a debuff with an ultimate.
Jingliu Blade Mydei	Bronya Ruan Mei	Pela	Fu Xuan Luocha	A build with an area damage dealer Blade, Mydei or Jingliu will cope with any number of monsters due to high damage in a small area. Main DPS is assisted by one of Harmony's buffers: Bronya advances the action and increases crits, and Ruan Mei increases the effectiveness of break and does not allow enemies to restore the vulnerability bar. Pela uses her ultimate as it charges, and if there is an E4 with Jingliu in the party, she also uses the skill. Fu Xuan redirects damage to herself and buffs the health of the entire team.
Kafka	Black Swan Sampo	Pela	Huohuo Aventurine	An example of a classic DoT build combining Kafka with Black Swan or Sampo. Pela with an open trace “The Secret Strategy” increases EHR allies of the Path of Nihility, and her ultimate gives a high defense cut, enhancing all damage inflicted on opponents. Periodic damage dealers play in rotations that are convenient for them, and Huohuo provides energy and a buff to attack power. Aventurine, in turn, can support with additional damage, as well as cover with powerful shields.
Imbibitor Lunae Argenti	Sparkle Tingyun Bronya	Pela	Bailu	Team with a hypercarry hitting in the area. Imbibitor Lunae or Argenti often use the skill and ultimate to perform powerful attacks. For heroes, the Spark or Bronya buffer is suitable, promoting the action and increasing crits. You can also put Tingyun in your team, which will give you an increase in attack power and fill you with energy. Bailu acts as a healer and often uses her ultimate to maintain Invigorate status on her allies.
Yunli Clara	Tribbie Topaz	Pela	Lynx	Yunli or Clara play both roles in the team, taking the enemy's hits and counterattacking in response. Tribbie is used for additional damage and increasing the overall DPS, and Topaz can be used for the bonus hit buff. Pela boosts the team by reducing resistances, and Lynx is suitable as a healer.
Boothill Firefly Rappa	Ruan Mei Imaginary MC Fugue	Pela	Lingsha Gallagher	Boothill is effective against single targets when he enters the Duel state, and Firefly or Rappa deal area damage. Ruan Mei, the Harmony Trailblazer or Fugue are aimed at providing the damage dealer with the pierce effect and other useful buffs. Pelageya weakens enemies by lowering their defense, which makes them take even more damage. In turn, Lingsha/Gallagher are engaged in healing.
Feixiao	Topaz Robin Tribbie	Pela	Aventurine	Bonus attack team with Feixiao. This build will be optimally complemented by Topaz or Robin, offering buffs for the corresponding damage type, or Tribbie, as a more universal support. Pelageya, as a universal representative of the Path of Nihility, constantly weakens opponents, lowering their defense, and the ability to inflict additional damage will be useful for accumulating charges of "Flying Aureus".
Seele Yanqing	Hanya Sparkle	Pela	Fire Hero Gepard	A group for battles with “dense” opponents with the main damage dealer of the Path of the Hunt. Seele and Yanqing often take turns and use skills predominantly, so Hanya or Sparkle, which restores skill points and increases speed, is suitable for heroes. Among supports, preference is given to shield warriors, who will divert the attention of enemies to themselves.
Himeko Hook	Asta Gui Fugue	Pela	Luocha	A team with fire main and sub-DPS, playing from Combustion. Thanks to Pela's "The Secret Strategy" trace, the chance of damage dealers to apply a periodic effect will increase without the need to invest in the stat when leveling. Himeko or Hook with good direct damage are suitable for the role of the main damage-dealing hero, and Asta, Gui or Fuga will provide support for them. Luocha will act as a healer, playing from the basic attack.
The Herta	Jade Herta	Pela	Lingsha	A team with The Herta, who needs an Erudition character, as this boosts not only her, but also the rest of the team. The optimal addition to the build will be a buffer/debuffer, spreading useful effects or debuff enemies. In addition, it is worth noting that the heroine values ​​​​frequently attacking allies who are able to accumulate stacks of "Interpretation", which means that such units are suitable for the support position.
Castorice	Tribbie Cipher	Pela	Gallagher	Build with Castorice from the summoning of the memosprite. The heroine is distinguished by high damage, but constantly spends the health of her partners, which is why a well-leveled healer is a must in the team. Supports with universal buffs are placed in the remaining positions. For example, Tribbie/Cipher and Pela will greatly boost Castorice and her creature.

Conclusion

Pela is a versatile character with no critical weaknesses. She is capable of demonstrating high efficiency in almost any situation. The heroine's useful and unique ult reduces the defense of enemy targets. The skill removes buffs from enemies, which becomes even more relevant with the release of each new boss.

The strength of the intelligence officer is not in her own damage, but in the resulting increase in damage of the entire team. Another advantage of the girl in an inexpensive and variable build: the best light cone is an epic weapon, and the options among the relics are approximately equal in strength and usefulness. The girl is economical in relation to skill points and quickly accumulates the ultimate. Thus, a simple rotation in combination with strength and requirements for leveling make the heroine one of the best supports for beginners.
