Team Compositions
Good F2P Starter
Uses 3 free Operators + Akekuri. Endministrator and Chen synergy is really good and a solid Physical Core for any team.
Cryo-Physical Hybrid
Estella applies Cryo Infliction for Alesh to solidify enemies, while Estella needs this to trigger her Combo Skill that applies Physical Susceptibility, increasing both Chen and Endmin's damage output.
Premium Physical Team
Uses Pogranichnik to consume Vulnerable stacks and generate more SP. Da Pan consumes Vulnerable every other rotation for big damage. Lifeng should use his Battle Skill against enemies with no Vulnerable Stacks to apply Physical Susceptibility.
