Best Acheron Team Build

Acheron Best can be built in different ways. Down below are a few best team-build options that you can choose. 

Team 1

AcheronSparkleBlackswanFu xuan

Acheron (Main DPS): Acheron builds power by watching others weaken enemies. Whenever someone applies a debuff to a foe, she gains a "Slashed Dream" point. She also marks that enemy with a "Crimson Knot". After 9 points, she can unleash her Ultimate. The more "Crimson Knot" stacks on the main target, the harder her Ultimate hits.

Blackswan (SUB DPS)Black Swan shines against enemies already burning, bleeding, or shocked (DoT effects). Landing attacks on these foes triggers "Sacrament," a special buff. The more you attack these weakened enemies, the more "Arcana stacks" you build. Having at least 7 stacks makes Black Swan even stronger, and her ultimate attack can extend how long these stacks last!

Sparkle (Support): Sparkle is a support character who helps her allies use more powerful skills. She can give them extra skill points and make sure they have room to use them. Sparkle's special ability gives allies extra power for a short time and lets them act faster in battle.

Fu Xuan (Support): Fu Xuan is a protective character who specializes in keeping her team safe. She can reduce the damage her allies take, making them much harder to defeat. Her ultimate skill is powerful – it hurts all enemies while also healing her teammates. This makes her a versatile fighter who can both protect and attack.

Welt (SUB DPS)Welt brings the pain! This damage dealer (DPS) can also control the battlefield.
