Best Team Compositions
Tips For Team Composition
DPS should be Physical, Wind or Imaginary Type
Stellaron Hunter: Kafka is resistant to Lightning DMG and Frozen debuffs. However, she has three weaknesses: Physical, Wind and Imaginary. You can stop her powerful attacks by triggering a Weakness Break, so we recommend including multiple characters with her weakness type.
Remove "Dominated" Debuff
Stellaron Hunter: Kafka will inflict the "Dominated" debuff in each phase, forcing your character to attack their ally. In the 2nd phase this debuff will change to "Psychological Suggestion" which gives you more time, however this debuff will be inflicted on multiple targets so you will want to include a character that can remove it.
Multiple Debuff Removal Team
 Welt |  Bronya |  Sushang |  Natasha |
| DPS Toughness DMG | Support Debuff Remover | DPS Toughness DMG | Healer Debuff Remover |
Team that prioritizes removing the "Dominated" debuff. With multiple debuff removers, you can still get rid of the debuff even if one of them gets inflicted. This will also make it easier after the 2nd phase.
DPS Replacements
We recommend Welt and Sushang since they can deal toughness damage but Sampo can also replace them. Dan Heng is also a good match since he can slow the enemy down with high damage output.
Stellaron Hunter: Kafka Boss Battle
| 1 | Keep attacking while triggering a Weakness Break |
| 2 | Defeat the weaker enemies first |
| 3 | Remove the "Dominated" debuff quickly |
| 4 | Save your Skill Points |
1. Keep Attacking While Triggering A Weakness Break
Kafka deals a lot of damage and inflicts the "Dominated" effect. Keep attacking her with her weakness type to trigger a Weakness Break and to stop her attacks.
2. Defeat The Weaker Enemies First
Kafka starts the battle with 2 Cloud Knights Patrollers. The Cloud Knights Patrollers do not respawn once you defeat them, so defeat them first to concentrate on Kafka.
3. Remove The "Dominated" Debuff Quickly
▲ "Dominated" characters are forced to attack other allies
Kafka will use the "Dominated" debuff. When a character is Dominated, they cannot take action and will attack their ally every turn. We recommend you include a character that can remove debuffs to remove them quickly as possible.
"Psychological Suggestion" effect can also be removed
Starting from the 2nd phase, Kafka will inflict the "Psychological Suggestion" effect. This effect changes to "Dominated" after "Revalation", which activates later, but you can also remove this debuff before it activates so try to do so quickly.
4. Save Your Skill Points
Kafka will inflict the "Dominated" and "Psychological Suggestion" debuffs multiple times and you need to remove them quickly. In addition, you won't gain Skill Points on your "Dominated" characters turn, so keep your Skill Points at 2 or more starting from the 2nd phase.
