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 - Prune also works well supporting DPS characters with the Hexerei alignment. - This allows Prune to activate her ATK self-buff, making her easier to build. |
| 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 Hexerei 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.

Prune can support any Hexerei DPS with a damage buff, even those who are not Anemo. Supporting a Hexerei DPS allows Prune to activate her own ATK buff, which in turn enhances the damage buff she provides to the team.

| Durin | XilonenVentiKazuha | - Any character that buffs Elemental DMG or shreds Elemental RES can be used in this slot. - However, since Prune is Anemo and can equip the Viridescent Venerer set, it's better to use non-Anemo characters for this role. |
| Nicole | BennettZhongli | - Bennett can be used as an ATK buffer and healer. - Zhongli can be used for his shield and Elemental RES shred. |
The Sub-DPS characters' artifact sets can change depending on what support sets are already equipped. If VV or Scroll set is already held, use Noblesse set but if it's already held too, use Emblem of Severed Fate if the character is reliant on their Burst.

When supporting a non-Hexerei DPS, Prune requires a significantly higher ATK stat. While her ability to use the Viridescent Venerer set and provide a damage buff is valuable, her high ATK requirement makes building a non-Hexerei team composition more challenging.
