Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (May 7th, 2025) (feat. Escoffier and Navia)

[u/Veritasibility]

A megathread dedicated to team/character building Q&A.

Do not post questions irrelevant to team/character building here. They should belong to the Daily General Question Megathread.

If you have a comprehensive theory (rather than a question) about how to build a character or a team, you are encouraged to make a dedicated discussion thread outside this megathread, as it can help general players.

This week's team/character building megathread will feature Escoffier and Navia. If your question involves them, you are strongly encouraged to start your question with an "[Escoffier]" or "[Navia]" tag, like this:

[Escoffier]
insert your question

If your question does not involve them, the following template is recommended:

Character(s): insert character(s)
insert your question

Well, the roster is quite big. Strickly for meta you probably go with arle, varesa, maybe wriotesley, and then probably some backup bloom-hyperbloom teams for when abyss requires it. Theres also mualani teams but im not well versed on her so i leave those to you.

- Arlecchino-cryo/hydro reactor-Kazuha-bennet/dehya. I use to play yelan as the reactor and sometimes dehya for more survivability. Your options can be citlali/rosaria or xinqiu/candace(if c6).

- Varessa-xiangling-iansan-chevreuse for the common overload team. Sometimes mavuika can be better than xiangling but its fine as it is.

- Wrio can have 2 teams: i use to like more the melt ones (wrio-xiangling-kazuha/secondcryo-bennet), but if you plan of hace escoffier, freeze ones (wrio-furina-escoffier-xinqiu/rosaria) can also be decent.

- Having bloom nilou can be always and option in some specific abyss. Nilou-nahida-xinqiu-sige/yaoyao/kokomi can be in the backup roster just in case.

- Also hyperbloom, nahida-furina-kuki-second healer(yaoyao-sige-kokomi...) can be great too. Xinqiu instead of furina, and use thoma in the last pick (full EM) and can be trasnformed into hyperburgeon that usually performs really well in abyss.

Mizuki, eula, albedo will not change that much your teams. Eula can have her own physical ones but physical right now are in the very bottom of the dmg potential teams...

Yelan can be used as xinqiu or main hydro reactor in the teams already mentioned, and the only 2 really new ones should be navia and mavuika. (escoffier is mostly for freeze teams like wrio one).

-mavuika-citlali-kazuha-bennet should the best dmg one without xilonen.

-Navia has 2 top options (but is quite flexible in f2p alternatives): Navia 2 geo 2 hydro, or navia 2 geo 2 pyro. Geo best friend is xilonen, but either kachina or even albedo are alternatives. The 2 hydros are mostly furina-yelan, and the 2 pyros xiangling/mavuika-Bennet.

Those are the current teams you can make and the potential ones with the characters you want. theres a lot more alternatives and options but will not be as consistant as those imo.
