Story-Mode Team Building: Lineups That Beat 90% of Stages

Team-Building Principles

1. Type coverage: at minimum cover Water, Fire, and Grass.
2. Mix offense and defense: don't run all glass cannons.
3. Speed spread: mix fast and slow attackers to control turn order.

All-Purpose Story Template

Core Trio

• Slot 1: High-speed attacker (move first, finish weak threats)
• Slot 2: Off-type secondary attacker (covers slot 1's weaknesses)
• Slot 3: Tank / support (soaks damage, heals)

Example Lineup

Huoshen + Molimao + Shengshui Shouhu

• Huoshen leads as a fast attacker.
• Molimao adds Grass coverage and flexible move pool.
• Shengshui Shouhu absorbs incoming damage.

What to Do When You Hit a Wall

1. Check the enemy team's types first.
2. Swap in a spirit that resists or counters their main type.
3. If the enemy is 5+ levels above you, grind a bit before retrying.
4. Audit your move loadout — make sure you're carrying high-power skills.

No team is universal. Adjust per-stage rather than chasing the "perfect" lineup.
