| Bennett | He is a healer that can provide ATK thru Burst & Noblesse Oblige x4. He is also the best candidate to applying Pyro to the active character without any setback. |

| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Bennett's Burst for ATK buff & Pyro application |
| 2 | Switch to Jean |
| 3 | Use Jean's Burst for sunfire effect |

| 8 | Use Xiao's Burst for infusion & higher jump |
| 9 | Use Xiao's plunge attack until the Burst duration ends |
| 10 | Repeat from step 1 |

Jean's C4 can reduce the Anemo RES of enemies by 40% and this can substantially increase the damage output of sunfire effect & Xiao's Anemo DMG.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Jean | KazuhaSucroseSayu | - For Anemo, you can choose Kazuha & Sucrose for Pyro-swirl damage & crowd control - Sayu's ability to trigger Pyro-swirl may not be as frequent as Jean but she can heal |
| Layla | GanyuRosariaDiona | - For Cryo, you can choose Ganyu or Rosaria for consistent Cryo application - Diona is a good option if you do not have both Jean & Bennett and you need a healer |
| Bennett | XianglingDehyaKlee | - Possible substitutes for Pyro cannot heal but can consistently apply Pyro thru Skill & Burst - Xiangling can decrease the Pyro RES of enemies & provide an ATK buff thru Guoba's chili - Dehya's AoE can increase the active character's resistance to interruption - Klee's C2 can decrease the DEF of the enemy when stepping on her mines |
Since the team utilizes sunfire effect & melt, it is logical to include characters who can consistently apply Pyro, Anemo, & Cryo even when off-field.
