Best Team Compositions

Position	Character
Main DPS	Mei Lin
Sub DPS	Selena
Support	Mika

Mei Lin is the ideal damage dealer to pair with Selena because she inflicts Passion Weakness on enemies, which allows Selena to exploit this vulnerability through her bonus attacks on Marked targets. Selena excels at placing Marks on opponents, and Mei Lin can take full advantage of these Marks to unleash devastating combo sequences.

Mika completes this trio by keeping the team healthy while constantly generating AP (Action Points). This AP generation is crucial since both Mei Lin and Selena are card-hungry characters who need resources to maintain their aggressive playstyles.

Selena's core strength lies in her ability to trigger frequent follow-up attacks and break through enemy defenses using Tenacity Damage combined with Passion Weakness. Since she attacks so often, she benefits tremendously from damage buffs and Morale bonuses. Her Mark mechanic naturally synergizes with teammates who spam attack cards, exactly what Mei Lin provides.

In essence, this team creates a cycle:

1. Selena Marks enemies
2. Mei Lin exploits those Marks with rapid attacks while applying Passion Weakness
3. Selena triggers additional attacks on weakened targets
4. Mika keeps everyone fighting with heals and AP
5. repeat

The synergy between these three characters maximizes damage output while maintaining sustainability throughout battles.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Lucas	Lucas can step in as the primary damage dealer instead of Mei Lin. Since he's a Passion-element character, he naturally benefits from Selena's Drone Bombing ability, which inflicts Passion Weakness on all enemies at once. This lets Lucas deal amplified damage across multiple targets while Selena continues setting up Marks and triggering her follow-up attacks.
Veronica	Veronica offers exceptional value through her card-drawing capabilities, which are both cost-effective and plentiful. This helps Selena cycle through her deck much more quickly, ensuring she can consistently access the cards she needs to maintain her Mark applications and trigger her additional attacks. The faster deck cycling means more frequent access to key abilities, keeping Selena's aggressive tempo going throughout the fight.

Playstyle Tips and Strategy/How to Play

Selena's gameplay centers around two key mechanics: Mark stacks and Breaking enemies. Her flexible Epiphanies let you customize her approach, but the basic strategy stays consistent across builds.

Core Gameplay Loop

1. Apply Marks to enemies using her various abilities
2. Use Attack cards frequently to trigger bonus shots at Marked targets (each Attack card fires an extra 100% ATK hit)
3. Wear down enemy Tenacity gauges through direct damage and Passion Weakness
4. Capitalize on Break states for enhanced damage

Key Mechanics Explained

• Mark System: When enemies have Mark stacks and anyone plays an Attack card, Selena automatically fires additional shots at those targets. More Attack cards = more bonus damage.
• Break Focus: Selena excels at depleting Tenacity gauges and gains extra benefits when enemies enter Break state (making them vulnerable to all attacks as if they're Passion-weak).
• Response Cards: Certain cards trigger special effects automatically when drawn.
