Best Exploration Team
Great For Exploring The Open World
In this guide, you can see various characters that are great for exploring the open world. Each character in the team has a specific role for exploration. Build an exploration team based on the available characters in your roster.
General Exploration Team
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
 Wanderer | Yelan | Zhongli | Sayu |
Why Is General Exploration Team The Best?
Wanderer Can Temporarily Fly
Wanderer's Skill enables him to float for a brief period. It does not consume stamina since the Skill has its own "stamina" gauge.
Yelan & Sayu Skill
When holding the Skill of Yelan & Sayu, the movement speed is temporarily boosted. It does not consume stamina which is great to use whenever available to conserve stamina. In addition, Sayu enables Anemo resonance with Wanderer which is helpful for exploration.
Zhongli As A Support
As a Geo character, Zhongli can easily break multiple ores. Holding Skill conjures a shield that protects the active character while reducing the elemental & physical resistance of nearby enemies and a monolith that can give a buff if Tenacity of the Millelith x4 is used. Burst can petrify the enemies for a short period which is helpful in combat.
Free-To-Play Exploration Team
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Razor | Amber | Sucrose | Barbara |
| Substitute Characters | |
|---|---|
| HeizouKaeya | Main DPS Similar to Razor's passive talent, Heizou & Kaeya can conserve stamina while sprinting. |
| AloyFischl | Sub DPS It is good to have at least 1 bow user in the team in case you encountered Bloaty Floaty & floating Anemo Slime. |
| Anemo TravelerXiangling | Support The role of support is to amplify or synergize with the DPS for better damage output. Usual supports have crowd control, debuff, and off-field element application |
| DoriNoelle | Healer Besides combat, HP can also decrease when falling from certain heights which is why healers are vital when exploring. Also, it is good to have at least 1 claymore user in the team in case you encounter ores. Claymore users can break ores with Normal Attack. |
Why Is Free-To-Play Exploration Team Good?
Razor's Abilities
Razor can deal heavy physical damage to enemies. As a claymore user, he can easily break multiple ores. He can also decrease stamina consumption while sprinting.
Amber's Abilities
Amber is useful in combat, especially when hitting the weak points of Ruin enemies. As a bow user & Pyro character, she can apply Pyro from afar which is required to solve some gimmicks & puzzles. She can also decrease stamina consumption while gliding.
Sucrose's Abilities
Sucrose has great crowd control that can be convenient when fighting against hordes of lightweight enemies. Her Burst can also compress the drops of defeated enemies.
Barbara's Abilities
