Prune Team Summary

#1 Team Rating:

Hexerei Team

#2 Team Rating:

General Sub-DPS

#1 Hexerei Team

Tier

Optimized team for Prune in Hexerei compositions, maximizing her off-field Swirl damage and ATK buffs for the whole party.

Prune, Varka, Nicole, Durin — Hexerei Team. Prune (Sub-DPS / Buffer), Varka (Main DPS), Nicole (Support), Durin (Sub-DPS).

Core Idea

Pair Prune with another Anemo Hexerei DPS like Varka or Venti to trigger constant Swirl reactions, boosting Prune's ATK and buff efficiency. Nicole provides teamwide ATK buffs, and Durin adds off-field Electro damage for more Swirls.

Rotation

  1. Start with Nicole's Skill and Burst for ATK buff and healing.
  2. Use Durin's Skill and Burst for persistent off-field Electro application.
  3. Switch to Prune; use Skill to infuse Electro or element from teammates, then Burst for off-field damage.
  4. Deploy Varka (or Venti) as main DPS, using Skill and Burst to trigger Swirls and benefit from Prune's buffs.

        #2 General Sub-DPS

        Tier

        A flexible team where Prune acts as a standard Anemo Sub-DPS with Viridescent Venerer, viable for mid to endgame content.

        Prune, Clorinde, Fischl, Kirara — General Sub-DPS. Prune (Sub-DPS), Clorinde (Main DPS), Fischl (Sub-DPS), Kirara (Support).

        Core Idea

        Prune provides resistance shred and ATK buffs. In this Clorinde Aggravate comp, Fischl applies Electro and Kirara enables Aggravate while shielding.

        Rotation

        1. Apply Electro with Fischl's Skill.
        2. Use Kirara's Skill for shield and Dendro application.
        3. Switch to Prune; use Skill and Burst for Swirl and VV shred.
        4. Deploy Clorinde as main DPS, using Skill and Burst to trigger Aggravate.
