Honkai Star Rail 4.3 Best Team Comps Guide
Best team compositions for patch 4.3 - covering FUA, Elation, Remembrance, DoT, and Break archetypes for MoC, Pure Fiction, and Anomaly Arbitration.
Meta UnitMortenax Blade
Elation CoreSW999 + Sparxie
Best for PFFUA Team
MBlade Value9.5/10
Core Goal
Build flexible teams for MoC, Pure Fiction, Apocalyptic Shadow, and Anomaly Arbitration. Mortenax Blade is the patch's standout unit - a universal debuffer who boosts Acheron and Ashveil FUA significantly. Elation teams dominate bounce content. Use the mode coverage guide below to deploy the right team per stage.
Team Compositions
FUA Team
Best for PF
Ashveil
Mortenax Blade
Tribbie
Hyacine
Mortenax Blade applies debuffs on his own turns and enables faster FUA chains. Players report jumping from 37k to full 40k PF score with cycles remaining after adding him. Best team for AoE and Pure Fiction content.
Acheron Team
Strong MoC / AS
Acheron
Mortenax Blade
Sparkle / Welt
Hyacine / Cyrene
Mortenax Blade provides the debuff stacks Acheron needs, reducing reliance on her signature LC. E0S1 clears well. A strong replacement if you lack Jiaoqiu or dedicated Nihility supports.
Elation Team
Best for Bounce Content
Silver Wolf LV999
Sparxie
Yao Guang
Huohuo
Bounce damage excels in current modes. SW999 shines in PF after 4.3 updates. Pull Yao Guang only if committing to the full team.
Budget alternative: Evanescia + Elation Trailblazer (EMC) + Huohuo
Remembrance Team
Good for Castorice Owners
Castorice
Cyrene
Evernight / RMC
Hyacine
Cyrene provides large damage and consistency boosts for Castorice. Good for players already invested in Remembrance. Note community concerns about future powercreep for this archetype.
DoT Team
Stable Fallback
Kafka
Hysilens
Black Swan
Huohuo
Reliable general team for players without new 4.3 units. Consistent in MoC and Apocalyptic Shadow content.
Break Team
Strong in Break Modes
Firefly
Fugue / The Dahlia
Ruan Mei
Sustain
Still strong in Super Break and Anomaly Arbitration. Adjust sustain choice based on required weakness coverage for each stage.
Mode Coverage
Pure Fiction
FUA Team (Ashveil + MBlade) and Elation Team (SW999). AoE and bounce damage excels here.
Memory of Chaos
Acheron team on one side, FUA or DoT team on the other. Balance your two teams across both sides.
Apocalyptic Shadow
DoT and Break teams perform well. Acheron team for single-target burst stages.
Anomaly Arbitration
Match teams to each Knight's weakness. FUA/MBlade for Fire stages, Elation for bounce stages. Check weaknesses before deploying.
Anomaly Arbitration tip: Always check each Knight stage's weakness type before choosing your team. Deploying by habit instead of weakness coverage is the most common cause of failed clears.
Pull Decision Points
Should I pull Mortenax Blade?
Yes for most accounts (rated 9.5+/10). Universal debuff support revives Acheron and Ashveil FUA teams. E0S1 is strong; higher eidolons add more. Skip only if you have zero interest in either of those carries.
Should I pull Yao Guang?
Only if you already own or plan to build the full Elation core (Silver Wolf LV999 and Sparxie). Pulling her without the team wastes her value and you will wait a long time for the team to come together.
Should I pull Cyrene?
Prioritize if you own Castorice or want Remembrance flexibility. She also provides useful boosts for Aglaea teams. Lower priority if you are not invested in either archetype.
Full team vs. high eidolons - which is better?
Community consensus: a full E0 team outperforms a partial high-eidolon lineup in most content. Build the complete team first, then invest in eidolons for the unit you play most.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Running Acheron without Mortenax Blade - her damage ceiling is significantly lower without the debuff stacks he provides.
- Pulling Yao Guang without having the Elation partners in place - you will be stuck waiting with an incomplete team.
- Ignoring mode-specific weaknesses in Anomaly Arbitration - deploy teams by weakness type, not by familiarity.
- Neglecting sustains like Hyacine and Huohuo - they enable aggressive DPS plays that would otherwise end runs early.
- Treating early 4.3 tier lists as final - MBlade synergies shift rankings quickly as the community optimizes. Test your own roster before making major pull decisions.
