Encore Mono Fusion Team
1. Start with Lupa: cast Starfall, then immediately use Resonance Skill twice and cast Resonance Liberation to gain Pack Hunt and Glory team-wide effects., 2.

When available, use Lupa's Enhanced Resonance Skill, then switch to a Resonator (Encore in the Changli variant; Brant in the Brant variant)., 3. On-field DPS (Brant or Encore): perform their optimal combos to maximize benefit from Lupa's Fusion DMG and Basic Attack DMG amplification. When they use their Liberation, Lupa will perform a Coordinated Attack., 4. When the on-field DPS's Outro is ready, switch to the next Resonator (Encore <-> Changli or Encore <-> Brant depending on variant)., 5. With Changli or Encore on-field, execute their rotation to deal damage while Lupa's buffs are active. Build Concerto energy and switch to Lupa when available., 6. Bring Lupa in via her enhanced Intro Skill (Nowhere to Run!)., 7. Repeat the loop until enemies are defeated.
Encore–Changli Double DPS Team
1. Start with Shorekeeper: build Resonance Liberation and charge Concerto Energy. Cast Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation to set up Stellarealm, then swap., 2. Swap to Changli: cast Intro Skill to gain a stack of Forte, then execute combos to reach 4 Forte stacks and use enhanced Heavy Attack until Changli's Resonance Liberation is ready., 3.

Repeat until all enemies are defeated.
Encore Time Stop Team
