Team Building Principles
Core Strategies
- •Athena + Scheherazade forms the backbone of most meta teams (immortal tank + healing/energy)
- •Faction bonuses: 2 characters = +10% stats, 3 = +15%, 4 = +20% (HP/ATK/DEF)
- •Hades reset chains: Build teams around his kill resets for PvP domination
- •Ifrit for bosses: Permanent burn stacks deal 60-80% of team damage in 3+ minute fights
- •F2P control: Nemesis + interrupt characters win through resource denial, not burst
