Elysion — Start with the Maid Duo and Favorite Item Nikkes Supporters securing squad damage and survival · Attackers for Manufacturer Tower

#. Mast: Romantic Maid
A Burst II Supporter specialized in boosting squad firepower. Pairing her with Anchor: Innocent Maid allows stable buff uptime, and she also functions exceptionally as a non-Bursting buff totem in Crown squads. She pairs particularly well with damage distribution Attackers.
#. Anchor: Innocent Maid
A Burst II Supporter that increases ATK, reload speed, and distributed damage while providing healing. As a core partner who prevents Mast: Romantic Maid's self-stun, her scaling buff value grows as battles drag on.
#. Helm
A Burst III Nikke that heals allies and rapidly builds the Burst Gauge with Full Charge attacks once equipped with her Favorite Item. She offers versatile utility ranging from an enabler for Crown's healing synergy to an Attacker in Water-code boss battles.
#. Privaty
A Burst III Nikke equipped with ATK and reload speed support alongside an AoE stun. Once her Favorite Item grants attack damage buffs and increases damage taken by enemies, she excels even as a non-Bursting firepower support.
#. Miranda
A Burst I Supporter that boosts ATK and Critical Damage for the main Attacker. After equipping her Favorite Item, her support targets expand and the Critical Rate of initial attacks increases, making her valuable in one-shot burst comps like Snow White.
#. Vesti: Tactical Up
A Burst III Attacker boasting a wide blast radius and true damage that ignores defense. She is particularly effective in Story stages with large mobs of Raptures and Elysion Tower progression, while her AoE damage also shines in the Arena.
#. D: Killer Wife
A Burst I Supporter that reduces Burst Cooldown with Full Charge attacks. She is great for supporting Sniper Rifle Attackers with Pierce capabilities, and in Elysion Tower she is useful when running Rapi: Red Hood as a Burst III.

#. Naga
A Burst II Supporter whose strengths lie in healing allies and boosting Core Damage. When receiving a Shield, her support effects are enhanced, and her healing can activate Crown's buffs, creating great synergy with Crown.
#. Flora
A Burst II Supporter that gains powerful ATK support alongside healing and Shields after equipping her Favorite Item. She synergizes exceptionally well with true damage Attackers; since her Burst Cooldown is 40 seconds, she is typically fielded alongside another Burst II unit.
#. Quency: Escape Queen
A Water-code Burst III Attacker that ramps up her ATK and Hit Rate through continuous hits. She excels at dealing sustained damage to single bosses and can compensate for Missilis Tower's lack of firepower using her distributed damage Burst.
#. Tove
A Burst I Supporter that significantly increases Attack Speed and ATK for Shotgun Nikkes. She is a cornerstone of Shotgun-centric Raid teams alongside Sugar and others. Equipping her Favorite Item changes her buff triggers from chance-based to hit-count conditions, stabilizing her operation.
#. Jackal
A Burst I Nikke whose strengths are rapid Burst Gauge generation and damage sharing for allies. Her value is high in Arena, where entering Full Burst before the opponent is critical, making her well worth securing for PvP comps.
#. Ein
An Electric-code Burst III Attacker that deals true damage with Near Feather. Less restricted by enemy Defense, she is great for Story and Missilis Tower progression and serves well as an Attacker in Electric-weak boss battles.
Tetra — Highly Versatile Supporters and Favorite Items Shotgun Squad Boosts · Mint and Frica · Blanc and Rouge

#. Frica
Mint's core partner, offering continuous healing and offensive support. Triggering the first Burst with Frica and subsequently chaining Mint's Burst maintains performance while securing both survival and firepower.
#. Ade: Agent Bunny
A 20-second Burst II Supporter that increases ATK, Attack Damage, and Pierce damage. She fits flexibly into various squads without requiring a specific partner and pairs particularly well with Pierce Attackers like Alice. Additional buffs trigger when landing Full Charge attacks on enemies within optimal range.
#. Blanc
A Burst II Nikke that protects allies with healing, Shields, and Indomitable while increasing damage taken by enemies. The key is to pair her with squadmates like Rouge or Noir to reduce her long Burst Cooldown.
#. Rouge
A Burst I Supporter that reduces Burst Cooldown with Full Charge attacks while increasing allies' ATK and Max HP. She also satisfies Blanc's cooldown reduction requirement, making pairing the two an easy way to set up a solid squad backbone.
