#1 Hexerei Team

Tier

                    Tier A

                    Prune's best team when placed in Hexerei comps. Varka and Venti are premier DPS options that increase Prune's ATK with Swirls, feeding back into more damage. Nicole and Durin amplify each other's buffs.

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

                    Core Idea

                    Use multiple Anemo/Hexerei characters to stack ATK buffs, creating a feedback loop that boosts the entire team's damage.

                    Rotation

                    1. Start with Nicole's Skill or Burst to apply buffs.
                    2. Switch to Prune and use Elemental Skill to trigger Swirl, then Burst.
                    3. Swap to Varka or Venti to unleash their high-damage abilities while Prune's off-field damage and buffs are active.
                    4. Use Durin's abilities off-cooldown for additional off-field damage and Hexerei synergy.
