That’s a big reason I really like watching Sevy’s videos. She makes things clear and easy to understand. And her talking is more fluid and she doesn’t repeat herself over and over. Which is something I can’t stand. Lol
Literally want to use everyone 😭 the annoying part most character I want to play has the same element ;-; it suck cuz I want to use the character but also don't want to double the same elements...
TBF, Star Rail seems to be much more "I wanna level up every character"-friendly than Genshin. Stuff like being able to farm Ascension materials from expeditions is bonkers, and such a quality of life feature.
@@Mrs.Ragnvindr Same! I so wanna have March 7th and Gepard in the same team because of his team-wide shield and her follow-up attack, but them both being preservation and ice makes it very awkward to do so!
My brain is so Genshin pilled that I was thinking of resonances or elemental reactions but now I got it that I need a diverse Aoe vs Single Target, diverse elements and having one good team Was feeling some type of way about Gepard but having both him and Natasha potentially allows me to have a head start on 2 teams right now
@@ryanryan4223 this is what happen to genshin when people still try to understand the mechanic. benneth = bad kazuha = bad kokomi = bad i remember when i got kokomi during genshin, everyone said she is really bad.
I got Bailu as my first 5 star and as a genshin player I didn't really fully understand the need of a dedicated healer, but now I realise I WILL get hit so bailu will be a huge lifesaver to me. there's a lot of things I need to learn, so thank you for this vid!
My first 5* was Gepard from standard banner, literally got him from the 3rd single pull - and couldn't be happier. I already like healers/shielders in Genshin and can't do without them in HSR But now in HSR I lack daaamage. Dan Heng, Arlan and Seele are my most damaging units but since I'm trying not to rush, I don't have any builds for them, so, I struggle with some elite enemies
My first 5 star is himeko and for her I'm searching for good teams which will work with her and I don't really have an abundance character so yeahh let's see
@@prudenciomangaoangiii403 No, not at all. Saying Genshin is RNG is cope. If it was I wouldn't be able to log into a friends account, and clear abyss floors they aren't able to clear with their characters so easily. Genshin rewards you for understanding how to build teams, and understanding how to maximize your output without dying. There are certain characters that can make it much much easier to stay alive. Additionally, Sevvy herself posts videos showing that people have the ability to clear the hardest content in the game with gaurenteed characters, and even Enviosity proved back in 1.0 that we could manage with decent artifacts and basic characters without them being C6 or having nasty 4 star weapons at R5 or 5 star weapons.
Eary on in Honkai it feels more like you just press the auto battle button, and the game plays itself. Genshin asks you to think, but how much is entirely dependent on whether or not you chased meta characters. If you skip meta characters you will likely find yourself thinking a bit harder. I still remember the abyss floor where people were using AMC in order to pick characters up and send them over to the other side of the room so that you could kill the hilichurl that was attacking the point while also killing the one that is attacking you. Additionally you found out that the E on AMC actually taunts enemies, or at least it will cause them to come after you for a period of time which was really important to passing that floor. This was of course assuming you did not have Venti.
@@plutotism03 It does, throughout my adventure so far my team hasn't been defeated nor backed out from enemies higher than my level. My current team is Gepard, Natasha, Dan Heng and the main character. Though I think I'm replacing my main character once I get a more useful 5 star
I've discovered this while doing simulated world. I was having a hard time surviving with just Gepard so I ended up building Natasha and used both of them. I have discovered that using Gepard as shielder to protect everyone from taking damage, makes Natasha's healing almost unused and pretty much only use her basic attack which leads to her always generating some skill points thus everyone can keep using their skills, increasing my DPS and survivability
Am maining Gepard and ehehe you really don't have to worry about his shield being tied to his ultimate coz his shield is just sooooo nuts it'll take a lot for it to break and it's party wide unlike with march where you have to guess whom the enemies might attack. also his freeze is quite handy
And March is OP with Clara! You give def to Clara enemy will keep hitting her, the more hits, the more energy Clara gains, and the more she retaliate w/ March.
March's shield comes with increased Taunt, so the enemy are more likely to attack the shielded ally. Gepard being partywide would likely helps against AoE scenarios more.
Clara works fantastic with March 7th since her shield also taunts so that it makes enemies more consistently drawn to Clara for counters. For the other two slots I typically just run Natasha (subbed out for Bailu) and a flex character - a Hunt character would work great to cover single target damage, but Tingyun could also fit well for a more hypercarry focus of Clara team.
@@SunSun-sk4si thanks! I've been using March, Nat and Asta with her (don't have tingyun yet). It's been working well, though I don't really need healing for just regular fights so I may expirment with trading Nat out for another dmg dealer/ more elemental coverage for non-boss fights 😊
@@erinarcher2483 I use both Asta and Tingyun to buff Clara so she could one-shot everything lol. I didn't like March 7th's kit at first but I realized she works so well with Clara. Now I don't have the urge to get Gepard anymore.
im so happy my favorite characters, march and asta, are so good as supports and can basically slot in any team. currently, my team is mc, march, asta, and my 1st five star who is thankfully himeko who synergizes well with asta's light cone
Of all the Honkai Star Rail vids that I've watched for building a team. This is the one that made more sense. Thank you sooooo much. Such a life saver.
I hope more people will come out with videos to help me design my teams. Your video advice was very helpful. I like your genshin videos I always find them really informative so I look forward to content for this game as well
Thanks for the video, it was truly helpful! As a huge fan of Himeko, I plan on maining her. I’m currently playing her alongside Pela, Bailu and Asta/Dan Heng.
My team right now is Dan Heng, Serval, Asta and Bailu and honestly im loving it ! i was kinda disappointed bailu was my 5* but since using her?! im really glad i have her 😭🙌🏻
One thing I'd like to add is also consider how your team manages the skill points. If your damage dealer ends up not maximizing their skills cos someone else always keeps using up the skill points then you're probably doing something wrong. Typically the damage dealer should be using the skill points most of the time since their skills provide more damage and effects compared to just normal attacks. So having a team composed of primarily skill point users instead of skill point generators is a huge oof
This! Everyone says have a tank/healer, damage dealer and debuffer/buffer and I find that frustrating, because ALL of those use skill points. I use March+Natasha most of the time, and March is self-shielding tank in my teams. That leaves Natasha rarely using her skill and being an emergency healer and skill points stacker. This way I can use Asta's skill all the time.
So far, I have a team composed of the Trailblazer Trio (MC, M7 & DH) and Himeko. It works for me since the follow up attks helps ping the enemy's health. Whatever works for your playstyle matters as well. Thanks for the guide!
I have never played a turn-based game, however this one made me fall in love with it, after playing it for several hours it's like genshin isn't good enough, I don't know how to explain it
Thank! Just started watching and I think this will be helpful for me 😅. I've played HSR since the release and sticked to 1 Tank 1 Healer 1 Harmony to funnel my dps for brute force, And I always wondered why I can't deal any damage 😅. I think this vid is or will be great 🤩!!
Keep up the amazing content, your tips are are great I hadn't realized that putting a destruction character between others could be bad. I just organized the team based on aesthetics 😅. I hope they alow you to personalize wich slot is on the background on the future so I can keep on showcasing my favorite chars, but that's just nitpicking
His damage is also really surprisingly good. He’s definitely better at single target damage, making him a pseudo-hunt character while also giving everyone in the party more turns. Despite both being level 50 with a 4* level 40 light cone, he’s out-damaging Himeko’s ult on 5 enemies with just his skill.
Thanks a bunch for the video! Absolutely love Natasha! Once I tried team with her I knew she will be main-stay right next to MC. Really happy that I pulled her so soon.
Was waiting for this. Been ruminating about my team combos because I want to retain MC as much as possible, but I think I've reached a point where I can be more flexible with the teams I play. Welt and Dan Heng are my mainstays, though. Thanks, Sevy!
Very helpful! Thanks! In between gensgin content and new to hsr. Blessed with some great early characters and in depth gamers content such as yourself to learn. Thanks so much! Namaste and blessings.
Okay, first, a massive, and I mean massive thank you for doing this breakdown. I'm recently new to this game or type of game. I'm having tons of fun. The way you explained everything made since. Did I watch this video 3 times? Yes, I did, and did I take notes? You bet I did. Now I have a good base to go off from when building my teams.
Personally my favourite team for now is Welt/Selvar/Tingyun/Natasha Welt is great for breaking weakness and bounding enemies, Tingyun generally helps with both buffs and survival, by charging Nat's Healing. Tho she herself is very squishy.
Once you get Gepard up to level 40-50 you can get a trace on him that makes enemies target him a lot more which will build his ult, and as well if you manage to get lucky and pull just his FIRST eidilon, his skill gets 100% chance to freeze, which I feel is pretty huge to consider.
Didn't knew about Destruction / DPS class "hidden taunt"... Only arrange my team so they can look great on the screen (Tall ones being 3rd slot, in the back, while small ones at the front, 2nd slot) Thanks for the info, easy to understand as usual
so far Ive been finding a lot of success with welt, natasha, pela, and asta. I know there arent any dps characters but they all still deal a pretty consistent amount of dmg and along with the buffs and debuffs it just great to play around
Thank you very much for this Sevy!! I really needed these tips, now I can carry on with the game with an easy mind about elements, classes and team comps. Gonna start right now! ;3
its because they have more freedom since the combat is not like genshin, hsr genre allows them to go crazy with both character designs and ultimates bc the clipping issues arent a problem edit: forgot to mention that i agree with you, genshin is my first hoyo game and even tho i like HI3rd a lot and enjoy HSR, genshin will always have a special place to me despite some of its problems, because it's my first game that i give my whole attention to since my childhood lol
So far it's nice seeing a return to classical RPG comps. I think being turn-based and not having iFrames from a dodge mechanic is letting the HSR healers and shielders have more of a presence. Who knows though... that might change in the future and we might have ungabunga sub-DPS characters once again :)
It would depend on how Hoyo designed the enemies. AoEs, multi-hit attacks, special effects, plenty of things healers and shielder can deal with (dead DPS is 0 DPS).
@@dojiz7242 yeah I think that with HSR they'll have an easier time balancing the content and making roles relevant. Genshin struggles a bit with that because too much of the design borrows from action games where healing or tanking isn't necessary and it feels overly oppressive when it becomes necessary.
@@fredxu99 Yep, plus I didn't see any other options for healing mid-battle like Genshin's food pouch (unless they add that later in HSR?), so healers and shielders will still have a place for HP management.
i’m really hoping to get Bronya as my guaranteed 5 star from the departure warp!! she seems like a really good buffer for a variety of team comps and will be future-proof for a while… as for a main DPS i’m currently saving all my special passes and stellar jade for when Jing Yuan debuts! i wasn’t in any of the closed betas so idk if this team will have good synergy lol but my dream team rn is Jing Yuan, Bronya, Asta or Tingyun, and Natasha! 🥰✨
9:40 you are thinking of it in a defensive way the way i thought about it is that if we put clara in the middle if our squishier units do get hit and the enemy does a splash damage so clara is hit as well she will do her follow up attack resulting in more damage
Great video. I got Yanqing as my free 5 star and got really lucky and got his “weapon” from standard banner after only 20 pulls. Wish I had that kind of luck in Genshin.
Great video as always, thanks! I'm currently running Qingque/Nat/Asta/Herta and it's been pretty smooth sailing. I hope to pull Bailu to swap into Nat's place, because that would be 4 characters I really like (Qingque is one of my 2 favs). My other fav is Pela so I want to figure out a good team with both her and Qingque. I'm only just now learning that having just 3 elements in a team is still fine, which is very relieving to know.
Thank you so much for the build video!! My current team is destruction/abundance/erudition/nihility, which is Mc/Bailu/Herta/Sampo respectfully. I got lucky and pulled Bailu from the 8x sale on launch and now she carries my team through healing so well that im not really worried about any battle. It seems I've been following your tips by PURE chance and trial/error lol but im happy with what I have. Honkai Star Rail is soooo nice for f2p players that I'll probably continue to be f2p. That being said, though I'd like to try the synergy for Sampo or Herta, being f2p will limit my options. But in a way I kinda like strategizing with the cards I've been dealt ^^ If you are looking for more build content, I'd love a video on allocating correct Relics and Light Cones (because IK I have that wrong haha). Thanks again.
the unit i would love to run is seele and bronya. i really love that they actually work amazingly well together in a team on top of their lore relations. praying to god i get them both !!
@@Cheerwine091 thank you !! i actually just got seele a few days ago, but i'm still trying to get bronya, bc she didn't come in the beginner pulls sadly 😔
This video has made me realize that even though I made a super tanky team with amazing sustain that I enjoy playing (Clara, March 7th, Gepard and Natasha), it is wiser to diversify my team a bit more. Thanks for the amazing video
Tdlr you want a Preservation/Abundance + Nihility/Harmony + Hunt/Destruction/Eridition + Anything. Or other words Sustain + Support + Main DPS + Flex. Really great guiide Sevy, I wish i had this when i was first starting out, my brother was of no help haha. I would like to add though putting Clara in the middle would make her more likely to be hit by blast type attacks(attack hitting up to 3 targets) witch would let her do more dmg with counter attacks. so it's just do you want to take a more defensive or offensive stance. To clarify if you are using Clara, Natasha, Asta and Don Heng, putting Clara on the far left would allow your party to take less dmg with only natasha taking aoe dmg when clara is hit, but if someome besides Clara gets hit by this blast type attack, only if Natasha is targeted would Clara receive aoe dmg, enablingg her counter attack. Though if you switch Clara and Natasha now if anyone but whoever is on the far right gets targeted by this blast type attack, clara will counter attack.
I think I’m pretty happy with my current team of March, Dan Heng, Serval, and Welt. I got this game yesterday but they are doing really well, I plan on replacing serval soon with a healer as Welt is currently doing enough AOE, but the gacha’s been ruthless and the only 5* I got (Welt) was from the beginners pity. I’m getting pretty annoyed with all the light cones piling up in my inventory from the draws that I’ll never use but my next 5* can’t be too far away!
This makes things make SO MUCH MORE SENSE!!! lol I wish I had seen this before I started playing but to be honest I haven't done much because I'm not a gamer and most of this game doesn't make sense to me. I started it because I love Genshin but have been SO confused by this game with the terminology.
i got bronya from the beginner banner, so im using her, and natasha as my "core", and swapping between herta/serval and dan heng/sushang for weakness coverage as needed
This video makes me realize that you need supports to make your DPS more powerful. At first, I was using 3 DPS and 1 healer namely Serval, Dan Heng, Himeko and Natasha. I struggled clearing the Equilibrium trial. After watching this video, I realize my BIG mistake. Thanks Sevy!
me with my destruction/2xhunt/erudition team trying to end all the enemies before they end me 😎 also wow i had no idea team arrangement also mattered! :0
Seele gets so many turns and is fast enough that even if he she is technically a Single Target dps she is also good at multi target damage. If she is paired with Bronya, she goes off with Bronya constantly forwarding her turn.
Worth noting that beyond character paths, especially for the 5*s they can excel in other team roles. For example, Welt is a debuffer that slows enemies, but also his skill and ult do ridiculously high amounts of damage, even just using a 3 star light cone (the one that increases damage dealt to slowed enemies).
Just a word of appreciation for Sevy and the way she makes information easy to absorb
That’s a big reason I really like watching Sevy’s videos. She makes things clear and easy to understand. And her talking is more fluid and she doesn’t repeat herself over and over. Which is something I can’t stand. Lol
I absolutely second this. I could just put her videos on like a podcast while driving and I’ll have a complete understanding of a character lol.
Soo true that I like her guides so much.
Yup, she's easy to understand and clear in her speech!
Loved the video you really helped me out especially with role placements

so far Ive been finding a lot of success with welt, natasha, pela, and asta. I know there arent any dps characters but they all still deal a pretty consistent amount of dmg and along with the buffs and debuffs it just great to play around
Exactly the guide I was waiting for! Very pog Sevy
Thank you very much for this Sevy!! I really needed these tips, now I can carry on with the game with an easy mind about elements, classes and team comps. Gonna start right now! ;3
Animation feels like an upgrade from genshin but I can't bring myself to love it more than genshin
from what i heard gemshin and honkai is make by a different team, so that why it better
its because they have more freedom since the combat is not like genshin, hsr genre allows them to go crazy with both character designs and ultimates bc the clipping issues arent a problem
edit: forgot to mention that i agree with you, genshin is my first hoyo game and even tho i like HI3rd a lot and enjoy HSR, genshin will always have a special place to me despite some of its problems, because it's my first game that i give my whole attention to since my childhood lol
It’s two early to know if I love it more Genshin. If it keeps me coming back everyday for at least a year we can see
Still 100x better than most other gacha games
@@lamiazmey wdym since childhood..it just came out in 2020
Don't tell me 💀
Very big help as usual Ms. Sevy! Thank you so much ❤
So far it's nice seeing a return to classical RPG comps. I think being turn-based and not having iFrames from a dodge mechanic is letting the HSR healers and shielders have more of a presence. Who knows though... that might change in the future and we might have ungabunga sub-DPS characters once again :)
It would depend on how Hoyo designed the enemies. AoEs, multi-hit attacks, special effects, plenty of things healers and shielder can deal with (dead DPS is 0 DPS).
@@dojiz7242 yeah I think that with HSR they'll have an easier time balancing the content and making roles relevant. Genshin struggles a bit with that because too much of the design borrows from action games where healing or tanking isn't necessary and it feels overly oppressive when it becomes necessary.
@@fredxu99 Yep, plus I didn't see any other options for healing mid-battle like Genshin's food pouch (unless they add that later in HSR?), so healers and shielders will still have a place for HP management.
i’m really hoping to get Bronya as my guaranteed 5 star from the departure warp!! she seems like a really good buffer for a variety of team comps and will be future-proof for a while… as for a main DPS i’m currently saving all my special passes and stellar jade for when Jing Yuan debuts! i wasn’t in any of the closed betas so idk if this team will have good synergy lol but my dream team rn is Jing Yuan, Bronya, Asta or Tingyun, and Natasha! 🥰✨
I got lucky and got bronya as my guaranteed she’s good
Theres that youtube channel called Uncle Jing with lots of Jing videos with that team pretty much
@@permin9533 oh really? i might have to check him out then, thanks for sharing! :) ✨
I got Bronya myself. Best of luck to you my friend!
Thank you very much. I find your guides easier to digest. Please do more!
the team arrangement tip is so smart!
This is exactly the video I had been searching for
Thank you Sevy!
You have no idea how helpful this videos was, thnxs luv.🎀
Much needed! Im getting the basic of the game now I want to dig into how to build and combo properly
shoutout sevy for giving the info so easily consumable
thank you savy for always keeping us updated
Best teamcomp guide i watch so far!! Thanks a lot i understand now😆
9:40 you are thinking of it in a defensive way the way i thought about it is that if we put clara in the middle if our squishier units do get hit and the enemy does a splash damage so clara is hit as well she will do her follow up attack resulting in more damage
Thank you Sevy 😊 this makes team building easier ❤
Thank God , someone i know finally making a guide video that i can use , tnx a lot
I started playing again and this video really helped me with building teams. Its easy to understand and helps me alot :D
Good vid mate . Informative and to the point
Great video. I got Yanqing as my free 5 star and got really lucky and got his “weapon” from standard banner after only 20 pulls. Wish I had that kind of luck in Genshin.
please know that you're a great content creator when I also follow your HSR tutorials. keep up the good work, Sevvy!
Great video as always, thanks!
I'm currently running Qingque/Nat/Asta/Herta and it's been pretty smooth sailing. I hope to pull Bailu to swap into Nat's place, because that would be 4 characters I really like (Qingque is one of my 2 favs).
My other fav is Pela so I want to figure out a good team with both her and Qingque.
I'm only just now learning that having just 3 elements in a team is still fine, which is very relieving to know.
an amazing guide. very detailed and straight to the point. love it
This is one of the best teambuilding videos.
Great content as usual! Thanks❤
As someone who came from Genshin and a confused HI3 player.......you got an instant sub for this.
TY FOR THE GUIDE SEVYY ♥
Thanks for making this easy to understand
I’m doing Clara, March, Asta and Dan Heng! It’s working pretty well for me so far and I have no complaints!
Thank you so much for the build video!! My current team is destruction/abundance/erudition/nihility, which is Mc/Bailu/Herta/Sampo respectfully. I got lucky and pulled Bailu from the 8x sale on launch and now she carries my team through healing so well that im not really worried about any battle. It seems I've been following your tips by PURE chance and trial/error lol but im happy with what I have. Honkai Star Rail is soooo nice for f2p players that I'll probably continue to be f2p. That being said, though I'd like to try the synergy for Sampo or Herta, being f2p will limit my options. But in a way I kinda like strategizing with the cards I've been dealt ^^ If you are looking for more build content, I'd love a video on allocating correct Relics and Light Cones (because IK I have that wrong haha). Thanks again.
As a person who is having their first contact with this type of RPG game now, this was actually really helpfull and easy to understand!
the unit i would love to run is seele and bronya. i really love that they actually work amazingly well together in a team on top of their lore relations. praying to god i get them both !!
May the gacha gods be benevolent! Good luck!
@@Cheerwine091 thank you !! i actually just got seele a few days ago, but i'm still trying to get bronya, bc she didn't come in the beginner pulls sadly 😔
This video has made me realize that even though I made a super tanky team with amazing sustain that I enjoy playing (Clara, March 7th, Gepard and Natasha), it is wiser to diversify my team a bit more. Thanks for the amazing video
Been fairly lucky so have been running Bailu / Gepard / Seele / Pela been working great so far.
This is amazing! Could u please make a video about which characters fit together synergy wise as u touched upon at the end of your video!
Hi sevy!! I love your vids😭❤️
This was really helpfull, thank you!
Tdlr you want a Preservation/Abundance + Nihility/Harmony + Hunt/Destruction/Eridition + Anything. Or other words Sustain + Support + Main DPS + Flex.
Really great guiide Sevy, I wish i had this when i was first starting out, my brother was of no help haha.
I would like to add though putting Clara in the middle would make her more likely to be hit by blast type attacks(attack hitting up to 3 targets) witch would let her do more dmg with counter attacks. so it's just do you want to take a more defensive or offensive stance. To clarify if you are using Clara, Natasha, Asta and Don Heng, putting Clara on the far left would allow your party to take less dmg with only natasha taking aoe dmg when clara is hit, but if someome besides Clara gets hit by this blast type attack, only if Natasha is targeted would Clara receive aoe dmg, enablingg her counter attack. Though if you switch Clara and Natasha now if anyone but whoever is on the far right gets targeted by this blast type attack, clara will counter attack.
I think I’m pretty happy with my current team of March, Dan Heng, Serval, and Welt. I got this game yesterday but they are doing really well, I plan on replacing serval soon with a healer as Welt is currently doing enough AOE, but the gacha’s been ruthless and the only 5* I got (Welt) was from the beginners pity. I’m getting pretty annoyed with all the light cones piling up in my inventory from the draws that I’ll never use but my next 5* can’t be too far away!
I might give this a swing. BTW Sevy..time for a Banner review! New banners are ups.
A small note is March’s shield taunt only works if the unit you put it on is above a certain amount of Hp :3
Seems like both harmony and nihility lean into break more than other classes. I think that hunt/harmony/nihility core works well
This makes things make SO MUCH MORE SENSE!!! lol I wish I had seen this before I started playing but to be honest I haven't done much because I'm not a gamer and most of this game doesn't make sense to me. I started it because I love Genshin but have been SO confused by this game with the terminology.
i got bronya from the beginner banner, so im using her, and natasha as my "core", and swapping between herta/serval and dan heng/sushang for weakness coverage as needed
I main starter team & I love Herta. She plows through enemies like a monster. It's just bonus attack after bonus attack & suddenly everyone's dead.
This video makes me realize that you need supports to make your DPS more powerful.
At first, I was using 3 DPS and 1 healer namely Serval, Dan Heng, Himeko and Natasha. I struggled clearing the Equilibrium trial. After watching this video, I realize my BIG mistake. Thanks Sevy!
Loving my Clara team rn.
Clara/ March 7th/ Natasha + flex element
Just found your channel. I love HSR and my wife is from Cebu! 🇸🇽
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you. This was perfect.
It never really clicked to me about how to actually position each member in the team
me with my destruction/2xhunt/erudition team trying to end all the enemies before they end me 😎
also wow i had no idea team arrangement also mattered! :0
Thanks for this video! :D
Seele gets so many turns and is fast enough that even if he she is technically a Single Target dps she is also good at multi target damage. If she is paired with Bronya, she goes off with Bronya constantly forwarding her turn.
Worth noting that beyond character paths, especially for the 5*s they can excel in other team roles. For example, Welt is a debuffer that slows enemies, but also his skill and ult do ridiculously high amounts of damage, even just using a 3 star light cone (the one that increases damage dealt to slowed enemies).
What team mates are you using with Welt?
I am so glad you are covering this game, your videos help a lot. When in doubt watch a sevyplays videos.
For that fight against Svarog I ran a "Keep the Main DPS alive" team with Natasha for healing, March for shielding, and Serval as a sub DPS
My current team is Dan heng, Asta, Bailu and Pela
ty sevy for the video also i like your hair color, looking nice 😊☺
I got extremely lucky last night and pulled bronya from beginner banner, and Seele in first ten pull. Together they're amazing
