🎮 Team Composition & Combat Guide
When building teams for Nefer, the core strategy is "Full Moonlight + Hydro-Dendro Bloom," with several options based on player rosters:
Budget-Friendly Setup: Nefer + Yelan + C4 Collei/Yaoyao + C6 Diona/Sucrose. Sucrose excels as an Elemental Mastery support, providing EM bonuses with skill hits.
For artifacts, "Night of the Grand Performance" is the top choice, with main stats focusing on EM/Dendro DMG/Crit, and substats prioritizing Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG.
In weapon rankings, "Tome of Secrets" leads, followed by "Spinning Night Mirror" and "Frostfall." Notably, crafted weapons are only about 20% less effective than top-tier options, making them budget-friendly.
Wish Recommendations:
Players with Lauma: Highly recommended to pull for a complete Moonbloom system.
Players without Lauma: Consider carefully or wait for future reruns.
Combat Tips:
Nefer's ascension stat provides CRIT DMG, and she has a unique 200 base Elemental Mastery, making her relatively low-investment and quick to build.
