Galbrena handles the main setup while Mornye completes the team. Galbrena, Lupa, and Mornye are the current best premium Fusion route when Mornye is available: Lupa supplies the full Mono Fusion buffs while Mornye lets Galbrena stay the hypercarry. Brant plus Lupa is a demanding quickswap alternative, and Galbrena plus Qiuyuan with universal sustain is the simpler Echo Skill route.

Main damageAemeathLeads the damage planSetup helperLupaSets up the damage dealerSupport slotMornyeCompletes the team

Lupa supports Aemeath alongside Mornye. Aemeath's modes are kept separate: the current Chems DPR Fusion Burst sheet places Denia with Chisa first and Denia with Lupa close behind, while Lynae with Mornye remains the established Tune Rupture route. Lupa with Mornye or another Fusion partner belongs to the separate Mono Fusion route. Suisui's applicable Negative Status cap increase and DMG buff apply directly to the Fusion Burst route, so keep her with Denia rather than Aemeath's other modes.
