Best Team Builds
Hyper Carry Team
A team where three Supports focus on boosting the Attacker. They increase the Attacker's damage with multiple buffs and raise Ultimate usage by boosting SPD.
| Tip! | In the example above, Kikoru is placed as the Attacker, but this is only one option. Build your team based on enemy Plates or use your strongest Attacker. |
|---|
Resonance-Focused Team
This team uses 4★ Supporter Hoshina’s buff to boost the ATK and SPD of 5★ Hoshina (United Front). Higher SPD lets him use his Ultimate faster and quickly enter Resonance depending on enemy count. Narumi is here to inflict Core Exposed.
| Tip! | If you can get 4★ Hoshina to A1, he also grants a CRIT Rate UP buff, which pairs perfectly with No. 10 Hoshina’s high CRIT DMG! |
|---|
Sagan + 2 Attackers Build
This build makes use of Sagan's durability and counter damage, paired with Ryo Ikaruga who provides a party-wide buff. Since her counter's Burn also deals ATK-scaling damage, Ryo Ikaruga is highly effective. You can replace the Attacker slot with any leveled character that can inflict Core Exposed.
| Tip! | Sagan relies on counters after Taunting, so she has poor synergy with Kaiju No. 8, who also Taunts. If you use them together, avoid using Kaiju No. 8's Normal Attack. |
|---|
Reno Ice Crystal Build
This team focuses on maximizing Reno’s Ice Crystal damage. ★4 Mina can buff ATK of Reno boosting Ice Crystal damage, and Narumi is there to trigger Core Exposure. Upon triggering, Reno can follow up dealing additional damage.
Mina Anti-Boss Build
This team is built for boss battles against giant-class Kaiju, centered around the high-damage of 5-Star Mina. To capitalize on her guaranteed Critical Hits, 4-Star Hoshina is included for his CRIT DMG buff. Since bosses frequently use AoE Attacks, Isao Shinomiya is added to protect the team with his shield.
AoE Anti-Small Monster Build
This build is designed for stages with multiple small enemies, stacking characters with Blast or AoE attacks. Since this team runs 3 Attackers, you can viably swap one of them with a Support like Ryo.
Hoshina Nuker Build
This team comp utilises Hoshina's powerful Passive Skill and 1st Ascension, which increases Battle Buddy's CRIT Rate and SPD. Pair Hoshina with a powerful attacker, such as Reno Ichikawa (5-Star), Gen Narumi, or Mina Ashiro (5-Star), for the best results, and Isao and Kikoru as a tank and finisher.
Recommended Low-Rarity / F2P Teams
Kafka Main Build
A team centered around Kafka, who anyone can max out by progressing the Beginner's Guide. Once he transforms into Kaiju form, he can perform on par with ★5 characters. If you’ve obtained Kaiju No. 8 from the ★5 exchange, you can swap him into Kafka’s slot.
Beginner's GuideHow to Build a Team & Tips
Always Have at Least One Defender
With the exception of some content, it’s best to include at least one defender to tank damage. In particular, Akari Minase is valuable for her rare healing skill, making her one of the most recommended ★4s.
Akari Minase (4-Star) GuideSupporters Are Buff-Oriented Characters
Depending on the team, you can run 0–1 supporter. Characters like Mina Ashiro or Ryo Ikaruga, who boost your team’s overall damage, are especially recommended.
| Recommended Supporter | |
|---|---|
| Ryo Ikaruga | Mina Ashiro |
Pay Attention to the Buddy System
In Kaiju No. 8, slots 1 & 2 and slots 3 & 4 become Partners. Some characters have effects that only trigger with their Partner, so always keep positioning in mind when building your team.
