If you’ve gone through the fundamental team composition guide, you should have a good grasp of each operative’s role and how to combine them for an effective team setup. Nevertheless, there are instances where you require advanced knowledge about activating particular abilities or dealing with specific boss encounters. This guide serves as a customizable reference manual, offering detailed insights into various operative types or optimal choices when facing specific bosses.

Bosses

DPS Operatives

• Low Endurance operatives have a limited period of time to deal damage before they run out of resources, typically only being able to perform a single damage rotation.
• Short Range operatives have to be close to enemies to deal maximum damage.
• Ultimate Reliant operatives require access to their ultimate skill in order to deal maximum damage.

Ballistic DPS

Operatives specializing in ballistics inflict twice the usual damage to shields, and they often aim for vulnerable points to deliver a critical blow and cause maximum damage.

Skill DPS

Operatives with proficiency in skill-based attacks usually don’t necessarily need to target vulnerable points, yet striking those areas can still offer additional advantages.

Hybrid DPS

These operatives come in two varieties:

• Mixed damage: the operative deals both ballistic and skill damage, but in separate instances.
• Dual mode: the damage the operative deals is treated as both ballistic and skill damage.

Sub-DPS

In simpler terms, the function of Sub-DPS agents is primarily to bypass defense mechanisms that make targets invincible for a short period, and these roles are best filled by agents who can inflict massive damage with a single strike.

Support Operatives

• Low Endurance operatives have a limited period of time to be effective before they run out of resources, typically only being able to perform a single skill rotation.

CC Support

Managing to inflict control effects on bosses can simplify battles as they enable you to block certain attacks and create opportunities for increased damage (DPS). Moreover, some bosses possess health thresholds that can be bypassed with a skillfully timed control effect. Nevertheless, for players who deal sufficient damage, control effects are often less crucial unless specifically required to cancel a trigger.

• Control effect is applied via support skill unless otherwise indicated.
• Operatives use the Navigator Squad logistics set unless otherwise indicated.

Healer

Parts Break

Operatives shoot to break parts unless otherwise indicated.

Elemental Resistance Shred

These agents can lower the resistance of specific elements for their opponents, which they accomplish using their support ability.

U-Energy Battery

Specialized Roles

Agents who can fulfill any of these roles may prove particularly useful when dealing with bosses exhibiting such traits. However, merely having an agent capable of these roles doesn’t automatically mean they are the best fit for that specific boss. Always trust your own discernment in making a final decision!

Damage Reduction

These operatives have the ability to circumvent damage reduction barriers, or facilitate the primary attacker in doing so.

Enhanced Weak Spot

Operatives skilled in ballistics can exploit vulnerable areas for increased damage, just like these other operatives can too.

Mobile

These agents possess abilities that make it efficient for targeting mobile leaders, thus enabling the primary damage dealer to focus on them as well.

Additionally, consider a CC support to immobilise the boss.

Multi-Target

These operatives can take advantage of enemies with multiple targetable parts to deal extra damage.

Shielded

All ballistic operatives overpower shielded foes because they inflict twice the normal damage on shields. Moreover, these hybrid operatives, who deal substantial ballistic damage or whose damage is considered as ballistic, will also reap this benefit, gaining an edge against shielded enemies.

• Chenxing – Ethereal Cloud
• Lyfe – Infinite Sight
• Chenxing – Jade Arc

No Weak Spot

Operatives specialized in dealing damage are typically more successful when facing bosses without vulnerable spots, as they don’t necessarily need to score critical hits to inflict damage. Interestingly, certain operatives specializing in ballistics or hybrid tactics can either consistently land critical hits or don’t require them, making it possible to bypass the absence of a weak spot on the target.
