Party Comp - Formation: Defense-Type

FREE

Hayeon

Free Slot

Sunran

Good options for the Free Slot include Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Lu Bu, and Karl Heron. Thanks to Hayeon's Attack Reduction passive, Sunran's Upper Hand is easier to trigger when the enemy doesn't have Hayeon or Clemyth, which works in your favor.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Hayeon
Sunran

Sunran should run Vanguard to maximize Attack whenever possible. For Hayeon, pick the Tuning that suits your needs: Orchestrator to avoid being locked down by debuffs, Paladin for more healing, or Gatekeeper if you want to focus on durability.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt
Jeo	Eirin

Jeo is a strong pick to keep Sunran's Attack ahead even in mirror matchups. If you haven't built up Jeo yet, Eirin works as an alternative.

Sunran & Hayeon Comp Counter Points

• A Durability Team is effective if you can stack enough Resilience
• Diaochan can strip the Upper Hand, which is also effective

Rudy

Clemyth

Free Slot

If you can stack Resilience with each hero's Dedicated Equipment and properly boost HP, Defense, Block Rate, and Damage Taken Reduction through gear, a Durability Team works well as a counter. Keep in mind that weak gear may not be enough to survive.

Good options for the Free Slot include Aris, Alice, and Lina.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Rudy
Clemyth

You need to withstand the enemy's damage output, so equip everyone with durability-focused gear to raise their survivability.

Clemyth tends to survive until the end in most cases, so the Ring of Immortality isn't essential. If you're short on rings, a Rare ring with an HP Boost Refine will also work fine.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt
Ruu	Pike	Karam

Surviving until the end is what matters most, so Ruu is the best choice to boost Defense. If the enemy has Buff Duration Reduction or debuff-focused heroes, Pike is also an option.

Diaochan

Tanjiro Kamado

Sunran

Diaochan's Skill 2 strips the enemy's Sunran's Upper Hand, then this comp finishes them off with your own Sunran. If your Sunran's Attack is higher than the opponent's, the fight is easier, but there's still a path to victory even if you can't out-damage them.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Diaochan
Tanjiro Kamado
Sunran

For Diaochan, Spellweaver works well to boost your Sleep and Buff Duration Reduction success rate, while Sunran should run Vanguard to raise Attack.

Give Diaochan the Ring of Authority or Ring of Immortality to boost her survivability, so she can land a Cooldown Reset after Sunran has used up her skills.

Best Pets

Tips!	When using Dongyoung, placing Dongyoung and Yoongun in the back row under the Balance formation gives Yoongun Damage Immunity.

Tanjiro Kamado

Free Slot

Sunran

This comp pairs Tanjiro Kamado, who can boost Physical Attack with his Delay buff, with Sunran, whose Upper Hand synergizes well with that boost. Good Free Slot candidates include Attack-reducers like Hayeon or Clemyth, or Attack-type heroes like Zenitsu Agatsuma or Karl Heron.

Best Equipment & Rings

Jeo	Eirin

Jeo is a strong pick to keep Sunran's Attack ahead even in mirror matchups. If you haven't built up Jeo yet, Eirin works as an alternative.

Sunran & Tanjiro Comp Counter Points

• Taking the Upper Hand with a mirrored Sunran is effective
  └ Attack buffs/debuffs are useful if the enemy doesn't have Hayeon or Clemyth

If the enemy doesn't have Attack-reducing heroes like Hayeon or Clemyth, adding one of your own makes Sunran's Upper Hand easier to trigger. If there's no Transcendence difference against the opponent's Sunran, bringing Lu Bu, who has a high Physical Attack boost, is also a solid pick.

Tips!	If the Transcendence gap is too wide, the Upper Hand may not trigger even with Hayeon or Clemyth in your comp, so try to attack opponents with a similar Transcendence level whenever possible.

  └ Crowd Control Immunity/Camouflage/Upper Hand/Debuff Removal, etc.
• Delaying skills with Cooldown Increase is also viable

Skuld's strength is countering Shock with Debuff Removal, and Silvesta's strength is countering it with Crowd Control Immunity. To make sure Skuld's Cooldown Increase lands, be sure to include Melia or Dongyoung, a Magic Vulnerability hero like them.

Tips!	Keep in mind that Dongyoung's Magic Vulnerability unlocks at 6th Transcendence and only lasts for 2 turns.

Juri

Shinobu Kocho

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Juri
Shinobu Kocho

Use Spellweaver on Juri to raise Souldeath's success rate. For Yoongun, Bounty Tracker or Assassin is ideal for finishing off enemies while Souldeath is active.

Best Pets

Sun Wukong

This team wins through attrition using Giyu Tomioka and Sun Wukong's healing. Universal-type heroes like Gelidus, Eileene, or Aris are candidates for the free slot.

A setup with Radgrid in the front row and Giyu Tomioka in the back row is also viable.

Tips!	If your gear is too weak, your heroes risk getting taken down, so make sure to stack Resilience along with HP, Defense, Block Rate, and Damage Taken Reduction.

Best Equipment & Rings

This comp pairs Magic Vulnerability from Melia or Dongyoung with Skuld, slowing down the enemy's skills with Cooldown Increase. Besides DPS picks like Silvesta and Yoongun for the Free Slot, you can also go for a war of attrition with Clemyth or Shinobu Kocho.

Tips!	Keep in mind that Dongyoung's Magic Vulnerability only unlocks at T6 and lasts just 2 turns. If you use Clemyth, switch the formation so everyone is in the Front Row.

Best Equipment & Rings

Merparrow	Kree	Yeonji

Merparrow is the best pick since she raises the Cooldown Increase success rate. Kree, who boosts Effect Hit Rate, is a solid second choice, and Yeonji works too if you want to lean into damage.

Skuld Comp Counter Points

• Cooldown Increase Countermeasures are effective
  └ Camouflage, Upper Hand, Cooldown Increase Immunity, etc.
• A Tank and Sustain party aiming to win via HP difference

Best Equipment & Rings

Vanguard is the standard set for Sunran, but you can also boost her ATK to make sure Upper Hand triggers, then run Seasoned Assassin to lean into damage.

Jeo is generally the best pick for a Sunran team. That said, Eirin is worth considering if your gear already gives you an ATK edge, and Yu, who lowers healing from Silvesta or healer-type heroes, is also an option.

Sun Wukong

Pallanus

Protection

This comp fields a Protection hero in the Free Slot, such as Radgrid, Hellenia, or Giyu Tomioka, and grinds out a win with Sun Wukong's healing. Skuld's Awakening skill, which inflicts Unable to Recover, is handled by Pallanus's Buff Removal at 30% HP or below.

Tips!	If you want to trigger Pallanus's Defense/Support team comp effect, swapping Sun Wukong out for a Support-type hero like Alice or Clemyth is also an option.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Sun Wukong
Pallanus

Choose whichever you prefer for Sun Wukong and Pallanus — Gatekeeper to lean into bulk, or Bounty Tracker/Seasoned Assassin to lean into damage. Pallanus is hard to take down thanks to HP Swap, so depending on the enemy's damage output, a Legendary ring isn't mandatory.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt	Alt
Pike	Ruu	Karam	Jeb

Being able to dodge Cooldown Increase makes the fight easier, so Pike is Best here. Ruu or Karam for more bulk, or Jeb for more healing, are also options.

This comp whittles down the enemy's HP with Aris's on-Block effect while aiming to win via HP difference. Giyu Tomioka has Cooldown Increase Immunity and Debuff Removal after taking 4 hits, making him Best against Skuld.

Put a Healer like Clemyth or Shinobu Kocho in the Free Slot.

Tips!	Shinobu Kocho doesn't receive Cooldown Increase while under Camouflage, making her especially effective against Skuld.

Yeonji for a Magic Attack Boost or Yu to lower DEF and healing are both good picks. Use Yu if you want to focus on durability, or Yeonji if you plan to use this pet in other teams.

Yoongun & Dongyoung Comp Counter Points

Zenitsu Agatsuma

This comp uses Eileene and Zenitsu Agatsuma's Shock to lock down the enemy while you attack. If you run Sunran, put her in the back row; if you run Tanjiro Kamado, put Zenitsu in the back row instead.

After inflicting Shock on Yoongun with Zenitsu's Skill 1 or Eileene's skill, using Zenitsu's Skill 2 Buff Duration Reduction to strip his Crowd Control Immunity makes it easier to capitalize on the Shock.

Tips!	Zenitsu's Skill 1 has a higher Shock infliction rate, but since it's a single-target attack, it's only effective if you have 100% Weakness Hit Chance and can act first.

Best Equipment & Rings

Eileene

If you want to specialize in Shock, Spellweaver is best for Eileene and Zenitsu. For Tanjiro and Sunran, Assassin is best for raising damage, but make sure to stack enough Attack on Sunran to trigger her Upper Hand.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt	Alt
Merparrow	Kree	Jeo	Eirin

Merparrow is the best pick if you prioritize Shock success rate, and Kree is also useful if you want to balance in some damage too. If you want to prioritize damage even more, Jeo or Eirin are also options.

This comp is built around Hayeon, whose Below-Half HP healing and HP Swap are useful, and Gelidus, who locks down enemies with Ice Extreme.

Putting Trude or Eileene in the back row, or reducing the front row to a single hero to draw single-target attacks when the enemy has O'Mok, are also good options.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Ring (Refine)
Hayeon
Gelidus

Eileene

To survive Yoongun's high-damage attacks, it's best for everyone to use durability-focused equipment. In many cases you won't survive without Hayeon's Revive and Immortality, and Gelidus's Revive and Ring of Authority, making this an advanced comp.

Best Pets

If the enemy is running a Hayeon / Dongyoung / Yoongun comp, it's effective to first use O'Mok's Skill 1, which can HP Alteration the highest-DEF enemy, to trigger Hayeon's Guts, then finish her off with Yoongun.

Best Equipment & Rings

This is a durable party that can grind out fights thanks to Radgrid's protection and Sun Wukong's healing. Since Debuff Removal only triggers when Aris's Awakening Passive activates, the comp is vulnerable to Death effects, so it's better to raise Effect Resistance across the board.

Radgrid & Sun Wukong Comp Counter Points

• Death is effective since Debuff Removal is limited

Amelia

Lina

Diaochan

If the opponent's Aris is wearing durability gear like Gatekeeper, this comp can aim for an HP-lead win. If Aris is wearing damage gear like Bounty Tracker, this comp often can't survive, so it isn't a good choice in that case.

Lina
Diaochan

To avoid being taken out by Aris's on-Block effect, raise everyone's Block Rate and Damage Taken Reduction as much as possible. Diaochan in particular is easy to take down and has no Revive passive, so equipping a Ring of Resurrection is best for her.

Tips!	Lina doesn't need a Legendary ring if she can survive the enemy's attacks.

Radgrid

Trude

Free Slot

The Free Slot is usually filled with a Universal-type hero, with Aris, Gelidus, and Eileene being the main options. Since Trude has Debuff Removal, this is a tanky comp that's still relatively resistant to Death, which is a nice bonus.

Best Equipment & Rings

Radgrid
Trude

For Radgrid, Paladin is best for boosting HP and healing, though Guardian is also an option. For Trude, choose between a damage-focused or tankier build depending on your preference.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt	Alt
Ruu	Pike	Karam	Merparrow

If you're running Radgrid, Ruu is best for boosting survivability. For Death countermeasures, go with Pike; when running Aris, Karam boosts Block Rate; and if you want to lock enemies down with Trude's Concussion, Aris's Stun, or Gelidus's Absolute Zero, Merparrow is also an option.

Trude Comp Counter Points

• Pushing through with raw damage is best
• Trude's Debuff Removal makes Death a tough pick
• Going for an HP-difference win is also tough if Trude deals heavy damage

Build a 3-hero Attack-type comp centered on second-string attackers like Lu Bu and Dellons. For the Free Slot, Randgrid, Karl Heron, and Orkah are good options.

Tips!	You could also swap out Lu Bu or Dellons for Sunran or Zenitsu Agatsuma.

Bounty Tracker gear is the standard pick here — aim to get Crit Rate and Weakness Hit Chance as close to 100% as possible. With dedicated equipment giving Crush on top of that, getting Crit Damage to around 200% is ideal.

Yu	Eirin	Jeo

Since you need to cut down Radgrid's and Trude's healing, Yu is the best pick for this pet. Eirin and Jeo also work as alternatives, but your attacker will need considerably more damage to compensate.

Party Comp - Formation: Basic-Type

Rudy

Clemyth

Aris

With Rudy's Link making everyone share incoming attacks, this comp makes it easy to keep Aris's Awakening Passive active for longer, which is its main strength. Make sure to raise everyone's Effect Resistance so the Link doesn't get stripped.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Rings (Craft)
Rudy
Clemyth
Aris

Choose whether to build Aris for pure damage or lean tankier, based on your preference.

Clemyth tends to survive until the end in most cases, so the Ring of Immortality isn't mandatory. If you're short on rings, a Rare-grade ring enchanted with an HP Boost effect works fine too.

Best Pets

Ideal	Alt	Alt	Alt
Pike	Ruu	Karam	Merparrow

Pike is the best pick here, since its Effect Resistance boost helps keep the Link from being stripped. If you want more durability, Ruu (Defense Boost) or Karam (Block Rate Boost) are solid picks, and Merparrow is also an option if you want to boost your Stun success rate.

Rudy & Aris Comp Counter Points

• Death is effective, but harder to pull off than against the Radgrid comp
• Aim for 100% Crit Rate to counter Aris's Block
• If Aris is running tanky gear, going for an HP-difference win is also viable

When using Death against a comp with Aris, it's ideal to get everyone's Crit Rate to 100% so her On-Block effect doesn't trigger. This is especially effective if the enemy hasn't boosted their Effect Resistance.

Best Equipment & Rings

Get everyone's Crit Rate to 100%. For Rosie, prioritize durability by boosting Block Rate and Damage Taken Reduction, while Knox and Mist should focus on Effect Hit Rate and Damage Taken Reduction.

Merparrow is the best pick for boosting Effect Probability. If it's not trained up yet, Kree (Effect Hit Rate Boost) works as a substitute.

Amelia

Lina

Diaochan

If the enemy's Aris is running tanky gear like Gatekeeper, this comp can go for an HP-difference win. If Aris is running damage gear like Bounty Tracker, you likely won't be able to outlast them, so this isn't a great fit there.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Rings (Craft)
Amelia
Lina
Diaochan

To avoid getting taken out by Aris's On-Block effect, everyone should boost their Block Rate and Damage Taken Reduction as much as possible. Diaochan in particular is easy to take down and has no Revive passive, so equipping the Ring of Resurrection is a great idea for her.

Tips!	If Lina looks like she can tank the enemy's attacks, a Legendary ring isn't strictly necessary for her.

Best Pets

Ideal	Ideal	Alt	Alt
Pike	Jeb	Ruu	Karam

Pike is the best pick to raise Effect Resistance so you don't get locked down by Stun or similar effects. Since you're going for an HP-difference win, Jeb — which boosts healing — is also effective.

Giyu Tomioka

Free Slot

Aris

This comp centers on Giyu Tomioka and Aris, who pair well thanks to Protection and increased Awakening Gauge gain. For the Free Slot, Universal-type heroes like Gelidus, Sun Wukong, Eileene, and Trude are good candidates, as are Clemyth and Shinobu Kocho, who's a great healer that can also double as an attacker.

Best Equipment & Rings

Hero	Equipment	Rings (Craft)
Giyu Tomioka

Build Giyu Tomioka with Guardian gear to boost his Defense. For Aris, the standard approach is to raise Block Rate so her On-Block effect triggers, though Bounty Tracker is an option too if you also want her to deal damage.

Best Pets

Ruu	Karam	Pike

For simple survivability, Ruu is best; if you want to raise the trigger rate of Aris's On-Block effect, go with Karam. Both Giyu Tomioka and Aris have Debuff Removal, but Pike is also an option if you want to be extra cautious about Death.

Giyu Tomioka & Aris Comp Counter Points

• If the enemy has no Sun Wukong, a Radgrid + Ace comp is effective
• O'Mok or Yoongun's HP Alteration is effective too
• Depending on the enemy's bulk, pushing through with a Physical team is also possible

Build up Radgrid's and Ace's bulk through gear. For Sun Wukong, since the goal is to whittle down the enemy's HP, Bounty Tracker or Gatekeeper gear is best to get Weakness Hit Chance to 100%, while also raising Attack to increase healing output.

Getting stalled out by healing is a problem, so bring Yu to stack Incoming Healing Reduction together with your hero's own effect. Eirin and Jeo work as alternatives, but your attacker will need considerably more damage to compensate.

Guild War Team Building Tips

Just Build 3-4 Strong Defense Teams

In the Major League, a guild can place up to 115 defense teams, but 20 of those go to the Main Castle, where the outcome is often already decided by the time it's reached.

That means each of the 30 guild members only needs to build around 3.2 core teams. Rather than spreading your rings and combat power thin across 5 teams, it's best to start by building 3 strong teams.

Build One Physical, One Magic, and One Tank Team

If you're building 3 strong teams, you'll generally end up with a stronger lineup by building a Physical team centered on Attack-type heroes, a Magic team centered on Magic-type heroes, and a Tank team centered on Universal- or Defense-type heroes.

Tips!	Attack- and Magic-type heroes tend to have deeper rosters, so advanced players who can build 5 teams should add extra Physical and Magic teams.

Death Teams Aren't Suited for Defense

Guild War is fundamentally about reacting after seeing the enemy's comp, which makes Death teams a poor fit since they're easy to counter with Death Immunity and similar effects. Even though Mist can strip Death Immunity with Buff Duration Reduction, from the second match onward the enemy can predict your Speed, making it unreliable.

When Attacking, Bring a Favorable Comp

A classic example: Death teams are effective against Radgrid comps that are light on Debuff Removal. Also, if the enemy's Sunran isn't paired with Hayeon, bringing both yourself makes it easier to outdamage them.

In short, the basic approach on offense is to pick a team that matches the enemy's comp.

Mirroring Is a Last Resort

Being able to see the enemy's comp and respond with a favorable team is the attacker's biggest advantage, so mirroring their exact comp should only be a last resort.

In a mirror match, the outcome depends heavily on luck — not just gear and Transcendence differences or who moves first, but also the chance of losing purely due to skill order.

Check Speed, Rings, and Skill Order Against Strong Teams

Once you've challenged a team even once, other guild members can see a rough idea of its Speed, its skill order, and any Legendary rings that were spotted.

If you have attacks left but no team ready, it's best to first challenge a strong-looking team with a team around 250 Speed. This will provide valuable reference information for your guild's top members.
