Acheron Best Teams

F2P: Acheron + Asta + Trailblazer (Fire) + Lynx

Free-to-play starter team. Asta and the Fire Trailblazer supply Burn and Taunt debuffs respectively to help Acheron stack her Slashed Dream. Fire Trailblazer can equip Trend of the Universal Market to apply Burn. Since Acheron scales with Nihility units, replace supports with dedicated debuffers (Nihility) when available.

Eidolon 0–1: Nihility Core (Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Cipher + Aventurine)

Acheron's best early-game team (E0–E1) uses two other Nihility units to max the DMG buff from her Bonus Ability. Jiaoqiu and Cipher supply debuffs to build Slashed Dream stacks; Cipher can run relics that increase debuff application. Aventurine offers shields and an implant debuff; preservation units often benefit from Trend of the Universal Market when Jiaoqiu isn't present.

Eidolon 2+: Nihility + Harmony (Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Sunday + Aventurine)

Once Acheron reaches Eidolon 2, you can swap the second Nihility slot for a Harmony unit and still activate the full Bonus Ability DMG buff. This allows flexible builds that keep one Nihility debuffer (e.g., Jiaoqiu) plus a Harmony buffer (e.g., Sunday, Sparkle, Bronya) while retaining sustain from Aventurine.

Talent
Enhance

When Slashed Dream reaches 9 point(s), the Ultimate can be activated. During the Ultimate, reduces enemies' Toughness regardless of Weakness Types and reduces all enemies' All-Type RES by 0.1%, lasting until the end of the Ultimate. When any unit inflicts debuffs on an enemy target while using their ability, Acheron gains 1 point of Slashed Dream and inflicts 1 stack of Crimson Knot on a target. If debuffs are inflicted on multiple targets, then the 1 stack of Crimson Knot will be inflicted on the enemy target with the most Crimson Knot stacks. This effect can only trigger once for every ability use. After an enemy target exits the field or gets defeated by any unit while Acheron is on the field, their Crimson Knot stacks will be transferred to the enemy target with the most Crimson Knot stacks on the whole field.
