Stealth Hunter
A budget-friendly Charge triple-cycle team built around Skia as the F2P main DPS. Skia's Stealth mechanics enable Suppression to chain free Remora procs, keeping the team's Charge generation high while he occupies field time. Nanally provides persistent off-field Pistil damage during Skia's Stealth windows. Limited by Skia's A-rank stat ceiling.
Team Composition
Stealth-based on-field DPS. Suppression: inflicts a free additional Remora on any Fang Thrust target already in Remora state — chains Remora for near-permanent Charge energy generation. Shadow Hound Chase activates Stealth + multi-hit Fang Thrust combo. Baicang Passive synergy: switching to Baicang while Skia is in Stealth triggers an immediate Baicang attack + Power Word Silence.
Insta-Cycle: 100-pt Support Skill resets rotation during Skia's Stealth windows. Appraiser doubles Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle. Bridges Lakshana (Skia) → Cosmos → Anima (Nanally) for both Remora and Blossom reactions.
Substitutes
Full F2P Cosmos anchor. Gentle Edge: 120 Ultimate Energy burst when Charge fires via Support Skill. Loses Insta-Cycle reliability, gains healing. Keeps the top-trio intact.
Anima anchor completing the top-trio for Blossom and Charge. More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils as persistent off-field damage while Skia occupies field time in Stealth — Nanally deals significant damage without needing field presence.
Substitutes
Full F2P Anima anchor. Transform! Super Mint! expands Pistil AoE. Maintains the top-trio. Substantially lower output than Nanally but requires zero pulls.
Replaces Nanally for a more CC/support oriented build. Seize the Moment raises Bud cap but adds Jiuyuan's sustain. Less raw off-field DPS than Nanally.
Off-field healing without disrupting the top-trio rotation. Provides survivability for Skia's aggressive on-field positioning. It's Friendship! adds passive ATK buff when Nova triggers on adjacent elements.
Substitutes
F2P shielder alternative. Temperance applies random debuffs (-20% ATK, -10% Esper RES, or +10% Break Efficiency) on Scorch procs. Provides shields instead of healing. Note: Incantation element breaks the pure top-trio for Charge — only use if survivability is critical.
Esper Reactions
Triple Cycle
Charge Triple Cycle Cosmos Anima Lakshana
Cosmos Anima Lakshana Grants the active character 10 additional Ultimate Energy when Vita Pistils hit targets affected by Remora.
Resonance
Appraiser
Creation Enhancement: Each "Creation Flower" will split into 2 flowers that fly together towards the target within range and explode.
Gentle Edge
Charge Enhancement: Grants 120 Ultimate Energy instantly when a character triggers Charge using a Support Skill. Disables Ultimate Energy gain from Vita Pistils when hitting Slowed targets afterward. Cooldown: 30s.
In this team: Grants 10 Ultimate Energy per Pistil hit on Remora-marked targets. Zero's Appraiser passive doubles every Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle setups.
Duo Cycles
Remora Duo Cycle Lakshana Cosmos
Lakshana Cosmos The target enters Remora for 5s after triggering Esper Cycle, slowing their movement and attack speed. The effect decays over time, and will have a shorter duration if repeatedly applied.
Triggered by: Skia → Zero swap
In this team: Skia's Suppression passive: inflicts an additional free Remora on targets that Fang Thrust locks onto while already in Remora state — near-permanent Remora uptime during Stealth.
Blossom Duo Cycle Cosmos Anima
Cosmos Anima Generates 1 Vita Bud near the target after triggering Esper Cycle, which blossoms 5 Vita Pistils.
Vita Pistils then fly toward targets within range, exploding every 2s and dealing DMG to an area.
Up to 3 Vita Buds can exist on the field at once.
Resonance
More Than Passionate
Blossom Enhancement: Fires 10 Vita Pistils with Vita Bud, reducing the interval between each shot to 1s.
Ghost Orchid Crest
Blossom Enhancement: Prevents Vita Bud attacks from pausing during Time Stop.
Seize the Moment
Blossom Enhancement: Spawns 1 additional Vita Bud and increases Vita Bud limit on field to 6.
Triggered by: Zero → Nanally swap
In this team: Zero's Insta-Cycle forces Blossom on demand. Nanally's More Than Passionate fires 10 Pistils per Bud as off-field damage while Skia is on field in Stealth.
Why It Works
Skia's Suppression passive chains Remora continuously during Stealth (Fang Thrust locks onto Remora-marked targets and re-applies Remora for free), keeping Charge energy generation active throughout his long on-field Stealth windows. Zero's Insta-Cycle prevents the rotation from stalling when Skia repositions. Nanally's Pistils deal persistent off-field damage while Skia is in Stealth, so the team never loses DPS during repositioning phases. The Lakshana+Cosmos+Anima top-trio fires Remora, Blossom, and Charge every rotation.
Key Synergies
Suppression Passive + Remora Chain
Skia's Suppression passive inflicts a second free Remora on any target already in Remora state when Fang Thrust connects. Since Fang Thrust attacks continuously during Stealth, this keeps Remora active near-permanently — ensuring Charge energy generation continues for every Pistil hit throughout Skia's field time.
Stealth + Nanally Off-Field Pistils
During Skia's Stealth windows, he dominates field time for repositioning and multi-hit combos. Nanally's More Than Passionate fires 10 Pistils per Vita Bud continuously off-field — so the team never loses DPS output while Skia positions himself.
Zero Insta-Cycle + Stealth Coverage
Zero's Insta-Cycle resets the Esper Meter instantly when Skia's Stealth repositions prevent natural meter fill. This ensures Blossom fires at least once per rotation regardless of how long Skia spends in Stealth.
Charge Triple-Cycle Energy Loop
The full Lakshana+Cosmos+Anima top-trio generates 10 Ultimate Energy per Pistil hit on Remora-marked targets (boosted by Zero's Appraiser doubling flower count). This keeps the entire team's Ultimates in rotation even with Skia's lower base multipliers.
Rotation Tips
-
1
Maintain Skia's on-field uptime in Stealth until the Stain/Remora reactions have fully procced before initiating swaps
-
2
Use Zero's Insta-Cycle only when Skia's Stealth window has ended and the Esper Meter hasn't naturally refilled
-
3
Pre-fill Zero and Haniel Esper Meters via parrying during Skia's attack animations before entering the swap rotation
-
4
If running Baicang as an optional flex: swap to Baicang during Skia's Stealth to trigger Moderate Working — free Power Word Silence without requiring Baicang's full rotation
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Most F2P-friendly Charge triple-cycle team — Skia, Zero, Mint, Haniel, Edgar, and Adler are all obtainable without limited banners
- Suppression passive makes Remora near-permanent during Skia's Stealth — Charge energy flows constantly
- Nanally as off-field sub DPS fills the damage gap while Skia repositions
- Low mechanical friction compared to Baicang or Chiz teams — Skia's Stealth is straightforward
Cons
- Skia's A-rank stat ceiling caps the team's damage floor — cannot match T0 teams in high-difficulty content
- Weak vs. bosses that counter Stealth or deal unavoidable AoE damage breaking Shadow Hound Gnaw
- No dedicated Break specialist — stagger bars are a significant bottleneck in endgame bossing
- Lacks Lakshana-cycle supports (no dedicated Scorch/Stain enabler for Skia's element) limiting his personal scaling
