Team Guide
f2p f2pbeginnerlow_investment
A free-to-play friendly team where Ardelia acts as both healer and buffer. She applies Corrosion with her Combo Skill to reduce enemy resistances, then consumes it with her Battle Skill to amplify Physical and Arts damage taken. Akekuri provides SP regeneration and extra support, while Chen Qianyu adds further debuffs and Endministrator serves as the main damage dealer. This team ensures survivability while boosting overall damage output for early- to mid-game content.
Explanation
Ardelia leverages Corrosion to lower enemy defenses, making them more vulnerable to Physical and Arts attacks.
After applying Corrosion, her Battle Skill triggers twice, spawning more healing sheep and applying a debuff that increases incoming damage.
Endministrator benefits from the Physical Susceptibility debuff, and her Combo Skill can be triggered by Ardelia’s attacks.
Chen Qianyu’s Combo Skill applies Vulnerability when Endministrator uses her Ultimate or Battle Skill, further increasing damage taken by enemies.
Akekuri can use her Combo Skill on staggered enemies to restore SP, allowing quicker rotation repeats.
Strengths
- Strong sustained healing from Ardelia’s sheep ensures team survivability.
- Double debuff (Corrosion + Vulnerability) greatly amplifies Endministrator’s damage.
- Akekuri’s SP generation helps maintain consistent skill rotations.
- Affordable and accessible for new players, using free or easily obtained characters.
Weaknesses
- Heavily relies on Endministrator as main DPS; replacement may lower overall damage.
- Corrosion application depends on timing and skill cooldowns.
- Limited crowd control outside of stagger procs.
Rotation
- 1 Perform Endministrator's basic combo until the Final Strike, which triggers Ardelia’s Combo Skill and applies Corrosion. This also triggers Endministrator’s Combo Skill.
- 2 Immediately use Ardelia’s Battle Skill to consume Corrosion, applying Physical and Arts Susceptibility and spawning healing sheep.
- 3 Use Endministrator’s Ultimate (if available) or Battle Skill to pop the crystal, which triggers Chen Qianyu’s Combo Skill and applies Vulnerability.
- 4 Use Endministrator’s Battle Skill to consume the Vulnerability debuff, dealing increased damage.
- 5 If the enemy is stunned or staggered, switch to Akekuri and use her Combo Skill to recover SP for the team. Use her Ultimate if available to further restore SP and restart the rotation.
Start with Endministrator basic attacks → trigger Ardelia’s Combo Skill → consume Corrosion with Battle Skill → use Endministrator’s Ultimate/Battle Skill to trigger Chen Qianyu’s combo → consume Vulnerability → recover SP with Akekuri on stagger.
elemental heat_teamelemental
A Heat-focused team where Ardelia provides healing and Corrosion debuffs while Wulfgard and Akekuri apply Heat Infliction to enable Laevatain. Once Heat stacks are built, Laevatain gains Melting Flame stacks and unleashes devastating Arts damage. Ardelia’s ability to increase Arts damage via her debuffs synergizes perfectly with Laevatain’s burst.
Explanation
Wulfgard and Akekuri work together to stack Heat Infliction on enemies, setting up the reaction.
Laevatain consumes the Heat to gain Melting Flame stacks, which enhance her next skill’s damage.
Ardelia applies Corrosion with her Combo Skill and then uses Battle Skill to apply Arts Susceptibility, further boosting Laevatain’s burst.
Her healing ensures the team stays healthy while setting up the combo.
Strengths
- High burst damage from Laevatain after Heat reaction.
- Ardelia’s healing and debuffs increase both survivability and damage output.
- Akekuri provides SP management for smoother rotations.
Weaknesses
- Reliant on Heat application; if enemies are resistant to Heat, damage drops.
- Rotation may feel slow if SP generation is insufficient.
- Less effective against multiple enemies due to single-target focus of the Heat reaction.
Rotation
- 1 Use Wulfgard and Akekuri skills to quickly build Heat Infliction stacks on the target.
- 2 Switch to Ardelia and use her Combo Skill to apply Corrosion, then Battle Skill to consume it and apply Arts Susceptibility.
- 3 Bring in Laevatain and use her Skill/Ultimate when Melting Flame stacks are maxed to deal massive Arts damage.
Build Heat → debuff with Ardelia → unleash Laevatain’s burst.
elemental cryo_teamelemental
A Cryo-based team utilizing Ardelia’s sustain and debuffs. Perlica and Arclight apply Cryo status and buffs, while Avywenna deals heavy Cryo damage. Ardelia’s Corrosion reduces enemy resistances, and her Battle Skill increases both Physical and Arts damage taken, amplifying the team’s overall output.
Explanation
Perlica and Arclight provide consistent Cryo application and support buffs.
Avywenna benefits from Cryo reactions and Ardelia’s Arts Susceptibility debuff.
Ardelia’s healing ensures the team can sustain through prolonged fights.
Her Corrosion helps overcome enemies resistant to Cryo.
Strengths
- Good synergy between Cryo application and Avywenna’s DPS.
- Ardelia’s broad debuffs work on any element, making the team flexible.
- Arclight’s support abilities provide additional utility.
Weaknesses
- Damage output may be lower compared to pure elemental teams without proper reactions.
- Requires careful timing to maximize Avywenna’s burst window.
- Cryo application may be inconsistent without high investment.
elemental electric_teamelemental
An Electric-focused team with Ardelia as the healer and debuffer. Alesh and Xaihi apply Electric status, enabling Yvonne’s powerful Electric attacks. Ardelia’s Corrosion and subsequent Arts Susceptibility amplify Yvonne’s damage, while her sheep keep the team alive during engagements.
Explanation
Alesh and Xaihi provide reliable Electric application and buffs.
Yvonne capitalizes on Electric reactions to deal high burst damage.
Ardelia’s debuffs scale all damage types, making this team effective against a wide range of enemies.
Her healing is crucial in longer fights where Yvonne needs time to set up.
Strengths
- Strong Electric synergy boosts Yvonne’s already high damage.
- Ardelia’s universal debuffs mean she fits easily into different elemental compositions.
- Decent crowd control from Electric reactions.
Weaknesses
- May struggle against enemies with high Electric resistance.
- Relies on Yvonne as the sole DPS; if her damage is insufficient, the team lacks alternatives.
- Xaihi’s support may not be as impactful as other dedicated buffers.
Team Insights
Ardelia is a highly flexible sustain character who excels at keeping teams alive while debuffing enemies. Her ability to apply Corrosion with her Combo Skill and then consume it with her Battle Skill to inflict Physical and Arts Susceptibility makes her a universal amplifier for any damage dealer. She fits into both budget and premium teams, often replacing a dedicated healer. Optimal teams pair her with DPS characters that can quickly capitalize on the resistance reduction, such as burst-oriented units like Laevatain or Endministrator. Her healing sheep also provide consistent recovery, reducing the need for another healer.
Synergy Patterns
- Pairs well with DPS characters that have high burst windows (e.g., Laevatain, Avywenna) by applying susceptibility before their ultimate.
- Works alongside support characters like Akekuri or Chen Qianyu who can further debuff enemies or generate SP for smoother rotations.
- Can enable elemental reactions by reducing enemy resistances, making it easier to trigger reactions like Heat Infliction or Cryo.
- Her healing complements teams that lack innate sustain, allowing more offensive support choices.
Tips
- Always use Ardelia’s Combo Skill before your main DPS rotation to apply Corrosion, then immediately follow with Battle Skill to trigger the susceptibility debuff.
- If possible, pair Ardelia with characters that have SP regeneration or cooldown reduction to use her skills more frequently.
- Her sheep can heal over time, so position aggressively if the team is not in immediate danger.
- In teams with Akekuri, use the SP from stagger procs to quickly cycle through Ardelia’s skills.
