Best Teams for Prune
Prune Works Best As a Support for Anemo (Hexerei) DPS
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Varka Premium Team - Varka is a better DPS to pair with Prune than Venti. His slower ATK speed allows Prune to trigger Swirl and activate her damage buff. - In this team, Prune replaces Venti as the Anemo support for Varka. |
| 2nd | ▼ Hexerei DPS Team - Although Prune is not as effective with a non-Anemo DPS, she still performs well in a Hexerei DPS team due to their ability to easily trigger reactions. |
| 3rd | ▼ Non-Hexerei DPS Team - Prune can also support non-Hexerei DPS characters, but it's recommended to include a second Hexerei support or Sub-DPS in the team. - Without a second Hexerei character, Prune will have a much higher ATK stat requirement. |
As a support, Prune synergizes best with an Anemo Hexerei DPS like Varka or Venti. While Prune provides a significant damage buff to any DPS, her utility is maximized when supporting an Anemo Hexerei character who can trigger Swirl, which activates her additional ATK buff.
When to Use Certain Equipment for Prune?
Prune's weapon and artifact choices will change depending on the team and the equipment they're using. See below for an overview of the equipment scenarios for Prune:
| Scenario | What to Equip on Prune? |
|---|---|
| No Nicole or fewer ATK buffs | Weapon should be changed to Oathsworn Eye for ATK buff. |
| No CG/VV/Scroll holder | Artifact should be Celestial Gift since it's easier to trigger and works off-field. |
| Teammate has Elemental DMG-boosting set | Use CG or VV, but avoid using the same artifact set on multiple team members. Noblesse is a good option if no one else is using it and the main DPS scales with ATK. |
Additionally, when doing team comp building, make sure the off-field characters cover different types of buffs. So it's better to use Noblesse on Prune if there's an Elemental DMG-boosting set held by someone else to avoid overbuffing.

Prune can still buff herself with ATK since she and Durin can trigger reactions and count as Hexerei characters. But without Pyro Resonance buffing ATK, Prune will still have a higher ATK requirement.
Rotation Of Non-Hexerei DPS Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Durin and use his Elemental Skill twice |
| 2 | Use Durin's Elemental Burst |
| 3 | Switch to Prune and use her Elemental Skill twice |
| 4 | Use Prune's Elemental Burst |
| 5 | Switch to Iansan and use her Elemental Skill then Normal Attack |
| 6 | Use Iansan's Elemental Burst |
| 7 | Switch to Varesa and start dealing damage using her Elemental Skill/Plunge Attack combo |
| 8 | After doing her combo twice, use her Elemental Skill before starting again |
| 9 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Varesa | NeuvilletteMavuika | - Any Pyro, Electro, Hydro, or Cryo DPS character can fill this slot. - Make sure the other teammates synergize well with the chosen Main DPS. |
| Iansan | Bennett | - Bennett is a good alternative to Iansan. - This will also activate Pyro Resonance, further increasing Prune's ATK. |
| Durin | XilonenKazuhaVenti | - Any character that boosts Elemental DMG can fill this slot. - If using Kazuha or other VV holders, change Prune's set to Celestial Gift. |
It's recommended to include a second Hexerei character so Prune can access her ATK self-buff, which lowers her ATK requirement. Aiming for Pyro Resonance can lower this requirement even further.
