You can increase your duo's effectiveness by using a Dendro Resonance character that grants Elemental Mastery. Also, any Anemo hero will be a good addition, as the Scatter reaction will be added, causing additional damage.

2. The squad is based on the interaction of Hu Tao, Ye Lan and Dendro Traveler.

The first two characters create the strongest standard reaction — Steam, and together with Dendro elements Blossoming and Budding. All this allows you to deal a large amount of elemental damage. Hu Tao in this team is the main DD. Ye Lan — minor DD establishing a stable Hydro status. Dendro Traveler acts as a pocket damage dealer, providing Dendro status with his abilities.

A good addition to the above characters would be:

  • Bennett — restores health to an ally through an elemental explosion, and causes a Pyro resonance that increases the attack power of all party members by 20%;
  • Zhong Li — forms a strong shield and reduces the elemental resistance of enemies with the help of a skill;
  • Tom — creates a medium shield and causes Pyro Resonance.

3. Assembly built on the interaction of Electro and Dendro, creating constant reactions Catalysis, Proliferate and Intensify.

The main liaison in this squad is Collei, who imposes a Dendro status on enemies. You can put any two Electro characters in a squad for her, causing area damage, these are:

  • Ke Qing;
  • Lisa;
  • Kuki Shinobu ;
  • Bei Dou;
  • Fischl;
  • Yae Miko;
  • Shogun Raiden.

A mandatory factor is the presence of Kazuha, Venti or Sucrose. These characters will be able to control enemies in one point, as well as increase the overall team damage due to Disperse.

There is also a modified version of this build. For strengthening, you need to add Hydrocharacter with massive AoE abilities. Worthy candidates will be Ayato, Mona and Kokomi. The Budding and Blossoming elemental reactions will significantly increase the effectiveness and versatility of the squad, as they deal high damage to Pyro targets.

4. The squad, like the second one, is based on the interaction of Pyro, Hydro and Dendro elements. However, the emphasis in this case is on defeating a predominantly large group of enemies.

Toma, Dendro Traveler, Ayato and Venti are taken as the basis. These characters form the reactions Vapor, Blossoming, Budding and Scattering. Master DD — Ayato, the others are support as they can only do a little extra damage.

Ayato in this pack can be replaced with any Hydro character that can keep a stable Hydro status on enemies, these are:

  • Mona;
  • Kokomi;
  • Xing Qiu.

Venti can be replaced with Kazuha or Sucrose, the screed will be less effective, but this will not destroy the concept of the detachment.

5. Eimiya, Toma and Xing Qiu are a stable base, which is complemented by the Dendro element in the face of Collea.

The reactions formed by them are Blossoming, Budding and Steam inflict enormous damage both on a single target and on a group of enemies. When pumping a squad, give preference to the strength of the attack, crit. Eimiya's damage and crit chance. The rest of the characters provide stable statuses and only attack when her elemental skill is on cooldown.

Tom, if necessary, can be replaced by Bennett. In this case, the shield will be replaced by the restoration of health from the ult, which also increases the attack power of all squad members standing in the area. Instead of Kollei, you can put Dendro Traveler. This way, Dendro status will be on enemies even more often, but the overall damage of the unit will be slightly reduced.
