Acheron team

Lightning · NihilityPlays Sustain

Acheron charges her Ultimate off debuffs other characters apply, so the team runs two more Nihility units and a sustain that never needs a Skill Point.

Feixiao team

Wind · Follow-upPlays Sustain

Feixiao converts ally attacks into her own follow-ups, so the other three slots are a follow-up partner, a Harmony unit that advances her, and a sustain.

Gilgamesh team

Lightning · UltimatePlays Sustain

Gilgamesh gains a stacking buff every time a teammate uses an Ultimate, and shares a joint follow-up with Saber, so the team is built around Ultimate frequency.

Rin Tohsaka team

Quantum · EruditionPlays Sustain

Rin turns Skill Point traffic into CRIT DMG for whoever spent it, and her joint follow-up needs Archer on the field, so the last two slots are picked for Skill Point economy.

Elation runs on Punchline the whole team feeds, so a second Elation character is worth more here than a stronger buff from another Path.

Ashveil marks one enemy as the Bait and follows up whenever an ally hits it, which makes a second follow-up character worth a slot on its own.
