Foreword

In this guide, we’ll go over some factors of building a late-game team. We’ll focus on PVP, and by extension PVE, as we already have guides specific to Dream Realm.

If you're looking for beginner teams, check our other guide:

PVE team or PVP team?

Generally speaking, there is no clear distinction between the two. A team that is good in PVP, will also be good in PVE, unless you are tackling extreme deficit stages. At which point the standard high damage teams fail to kill enemies fast enough and we require sturdier stall units such as

Brutus,
Antandra
Antandra
and
Koko
Koko
to buy enough time to kill the enemy units.

Standard Team Setup

Even though there are many possible teams in this game, more often than not, they will follow the same style of building when deciding between which characters to use.

  • Pick a Tank. Tanks are the key figures in a team, even if their presence doesn’t often decide the other characters that will make up the team. Tanks have an exceedingly small roster, so be careful with who you pick to build around the faction bonus.
  • Pick 2x DPS. At the time of writing this, there is no real reason to run just 1 DPS. There aren't enough characters that can support that kind of playstyle, so most teams opt to run at least 2 DPS.
  • Pick a Support Supports are often the backbone of a team. Though most Supports (depending on the character) can provide enough sustain on their own, sometimes their kits trade raw healing output for things like buffs or debuffs.
  • Flex spot. Pick a Specialist, a second Support
    • Specialists are either characters with quirky kits, or characters that focus on multiple roles at the same time. A key observation you may have is that the “good” Specialists often provide something in terms of buffs, debuffs or enhancements for your other characters. Due to this, there’s also the option of running a second Support.

But we are in the late game now, which opens up new and exciting options! Below we’ll briefly describe some prominent archetypes. Keep in mind that all those teams require characters ascended to at least Mythic+ as their EX weapons often are core for the team to work.

Advanced team - Eironn Nuke Team

In this team, your strategy is to kill the enemy before they kill you, through overwhelming burst damage potential.

Comments: This is THE meta team you will see everywhere in the endgame. Everyone builds around Eironn, and countering Eironn. The overwhelming burst damage wins fights right from the start.

Advanced team - Mauler Rush

An Anti-Eironn team, taking advantage of the faction bonus to survive long enough to kill the Wilder units in the enemy team.

Comments: Anti-Eironn team. Might be harder to build due to Maulers having many priority units and the average player not raising all of them. Will perform well as long as Shakir survives long enough to get his ult out.

Advanced team - Dionel Hypercarry

This is technically another type of nuke team, if your Dionel is invested enough, that is.

Comments: Very high burst damage potential, can survive Eironn’s nuke as long as you use the ATK SPD artifact to keep Dionel safe. This team is sometimes used by whales who had the spare resources to invest in Dionel rather than the more utility-focused Celehypos. Requires very high investment on Dionel to be competitive with other meta teams.

Other picks
  • Support: You can mix and match supports as long as you can guarantee Dionel gets 3 buffs. Anyone who can provide a stat-boosting buff, be it an offensive buff or defensive buff.

Advanced team - Heal Stall Team

A powerful stall team that can also work on attack. Defense focused.

Comments: This is the best defense team in arena, often beating people above its power level by killing their units with Scarlita or just waiting out the timer. Can also work in attack if the enemy happens to have low sustain so you dont run out of time
