Team compositions

Jinhsi teamUseful teammate
Main damageJinhsiLeads the damage planSetup helperZhezhiSets up the damage dealerSupport slotShorekeeperCompletes the team

Zhezhi supports Jinhsi alongside Shorekeeper. Jinhsi wants a coordinated attacker to feed her burst window. Youhu is a specialist sustain for Zhezhi or Yinlin because her Outro amplifies their Coordinated Attacks; she is not a generic replacement in every Jinhsi team.

Carlotta teamUseful teammate

Zhezhi supports Carlotta alongside Shorekeeper. Carlotta wants Skill-focused support; Taoqi and Lumi are valid alternatives because the buff type matters.

Lingyang teamUseful teammate

Simple play pattern
