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.
