* * *

Next Resonator
* In Changli's team, switch to Changli.
* In Brant's team, switch to Encore., With Changli or Encore on-field, do their internal rotations to deal damage while in Lupa's buff duration. Build their Concerto energy and switch to Lupa once available., Lastly, Lupa will enter the field via her enhanced Intro Skill, Nowhere to Run!., From here, repeat the previous steps until all enemies are defeated.

Encore-Changli Double DPS Team

This team boasts two main DPS units with Changli and Encore, with the additional effect of boosting Encore's damage through Changli's Outro Skill. Both of the DPS are going to be supported by Shorekeeper's healing and buffs. Encore will benefit greatly from Changli's Outro Skill that provides Fusion DMG buff, increasing her damage even more. Though Changli will still deal more damage in this setup, Encore can catch up using the buffs provided by Changli.

Start the battle with Shorekeeper and build up her Resonance Liberation while charging Concerto Energy. Once both are full, cast her Resonance Liberation first to set up her Stellarealm before swapping to the next Resonator., Swap out to Changli to cast her Intro Skill and immediately gain a stack of Forte., Execute Changli's optimal combos to get 4 stacks of Forte in order to activate her enhanced Heavy Attack. Do this until her Resonance Liberation is ready to use., After casting Changli's Resonance Liberation, use her enhanced Heavy Attack. At this point, the Concerto Energy should be fully charged again. Ideally, switch to Encore to boost her Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG., Swap back to Shorekeeper once Concerto Energy is full to detonate her Stellarealm for a burst of damage., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Encore-Brant Double DPS Team

This team is a similar variant of Changli-Encore dual-DPS team, that's more suited to players who don't have Changli. Generally, Encore gets Fusion and Resonance Skill Buffs from Brant's Outro Skill, which means Encore must always follow Brant swap order! Shorekeeper provides team-wide buffs and healing, to bump this team's damage to the next level.

Start the battle with Shorekeeper and build up her Resonance Liberation while charging Concerto Energy. Once both are full, cast her Resonance Liberation first to set up her Stellarealm before swapping to the next Resonator., Swap out to Brant and try to fill his Resonance Liberation gauge and max out his Bravo points. Once Bravo is full, cast, at least one Returned From Ashes., Then, swap to Encore and execute her optimal combos. Make sure to maximize her DMG output before switching him with Brant., Once Brant is on-field again, cast his Resonance Liberation and enter the Aflame state, and keep on hitting enemies before casting another Returned From Ashes to end it., Swap back to Shorekeeper once Concerto Energy is full to detonate her Stellarealm for a burst of damage., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Encore DPS-Buffed Team

This team composition focuses on buffing Encore's overall performance in battle using Lupa's multiple buffs that Encore can utilize. You may team them up with any healer you have available. Alternatively, you may also use Sanhua or Yangyang to go for a more F2P-friendly approach as Sanhua provides excellent Basic Attack DMG amplification, while Yangyang can improve Encore's Liberation uptime.

Initiate combat with Lupa and do her optimal rotations to cast her Liberation and activate Pack Hunt and Glory. Use Foebreaker afterwards and generate Wolflame to be converted into Wolfaith., Cast her enhanced Resonance Skill and switch with Encore afterwards. The Outro Skill of Lupa will amplify Encore's Fusion DMG and Basic Attack DMG simultaneously., Use Encore's Resonance Skill to deal damage. If available, use her Ultimate to enter Berserk mode where Encore deals a lot of damage. Also, use the equipped echo when it is off cooldown., Switch to the support to heal the damage taken and provide buffs. Once their Outro Skill is available, switch back to Lupa., Lupa will perform an enhanced Intro Skill that deals good damage., Repeat the steps until all enemies are felled.

Encore Time Stop Team

This team composition revolves around Encore dealing as much damage as possible while the enemy is under the Rover's Time Stop Outro Skill. This maximizes Encore's free hit chance especially after activating her Ultimate. The healer slot can be filled by Shorekeeper ideally, due to the buff she specifically grants the Rover with her Inherent Skill 2, but Verina or Baizhi will suffice if you don't have her.

Rover starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until other character's Resonator icons glow up., When Encore's is fully charged, switch with Encore. The Time Stop Outro Skill of the Rover should trigger, slowing down time for 3s., Use Encore's Resonance Skill to deal damage. If available, use her Ultimate to enter berserk mode where Encore deals a lot of damage. Also, use the equipped echo when it is off cooldown., Switch with Rover again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged. If you need healing, switch with your healer and use their healing Skill for a quick heal., Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
