Mari Makinami Illustrious

K· Anis: Sparkling Summer· Mari Makinami Illustrious· Maiden: Ice Rose

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] Basic Electric Bossing Team for commanders who are not lucky enough to get Cinderella. Substitutions: Maiden: Ice Rose can be replaced by Ein, with Summer Anis going in the off-burst slot and Ein becoming main B3. Mari can be replaced with Crown, Grave, Blanc (with Rouge), or Summer Rosanna. (Element: Electric)

Cinderella· Rouge· Mana· Mari Makinami Illustrious· Maiden: Ice Rose

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] Also a popular choice for Raids. She can heal and provide support in the form of being the Wind element unit to clear elemental QTEs in Solo Raids quite often. Substitutions: Anis: Sparkling Summer can replace Maiden: Ice Rose (Element: Wind)

Miranda· Mari Makinami Illustrious· Snow White· Helm· Dolla

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] In this version, Snow White Bursts first and easily gets her final extra 7th Burst off, compared to the rush you have to deal with in the Snow White-Yulha combo. Delaying the first Burst to get both Mari's and Dolla's ATK buffs is a valid strategy to min-max damage. S. Helm substitutes Dolla against Iron-Weak for even more damage! Mari and Helm provide enough Burst gen for the team. (Element: Iron)

D: Killer Wife· Mari Makinami Illustrious· Red Hood· Alice

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This team has everything: 2 strong DPS who scale stupidly hard with Mari's buffs, a CDR, a B2 buffer, and one more slot reserved for healing/protection or Off-Burst DPS/support. If you use Privaty and Dorothy instead of D here, you can have a budget Crown Naga team. Asuka may also fit in but will be less effective compared to the above mentioned units. It is also worth mentioning that Alice is a better fit with Crown and is even better fitted alongside her best buddy, Scarlet: Black Shadow, who needs her Charge Speed to drastically increase her already insane DPS. Hence, we might not see Alice together with Mari unless it is in Campaign and you do not have Crown or Tia-Naga. Since it is possible to use Mari as an Off-Burst buffer, you can also insert Crown here and use Crown's Burst Skill instead. This strategy might be effective against Ultra, where you need to reach Stage 4 before or right upon destroying the Boss's first Core (time gated).

Rei Ayanami· Mari Makinami Illustrious· Rosanna· Centi· Jackal

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] Mari is used as a simple damage buffer for nukes. Scarlet or Rei can be replaced by any fast nuker DPS. Red Hood is used as a B1 unit to buff both Mari's and the nuker's AoE. The special assist from Mari comes when she uses her Burst Skill!
