| Flexible role

Flex roles allow flexible team customization. The characters who take on this role often play the role of compensating for the team's weaknesses or focusing on implementing a particular strategy.

Extra DPS

Secondary DPS are the second protagonists in the DPS role, complementing the main DPS and increasing output overall damage of the team.

For example, if the main DPS mainly deals single-target Damage, an ideal secondary DPS would be a character capable of dealing ATK Damage, and vice versa. This gives your team the flexibility to deal with hordes of enemies and bosses.

Consider team building

| Make the most of skill points

An important factor when building a team is how the characters use skill points. Ideally, the main DPS should use most of the party's skill points. Other characters should generate skill points and only use skills when necessary. This ensures optimal damage output.

Here are Support characters whose toolkits are effective in combat without relying entirely on skill usage, making them effective skill point generators.

| Team building based on elemental points

The enemy has a durability bar on their head, next to the health bar, which reduces the amount of damage they take. Consuming an enemy's durability bar involves exploiting the enemy's elemental weaknesses.

Having 4 elements in hand gives your team the flexibility to deal with most matches. However, for tough matches like boss fights, it's a good idea to focus on one or two elements to increase the team's damage output.

Model lineup

| Story mode

In story mode, the enemy pretty easy to beat so you can use any formation to fight.

Here is a sample lineup with two DPS characters to end the match quickly. It can deal with crowds of enemies and bosses effectively by having both Single Target Damage and Area Damage.
