User blog comment:Linathan/Squad Spotlight: Essential Squad Compositions/@comment-36.84.66.61-20151222043810

Best squad i build that excel in both survivability and offense is this:

Chrome (lead) - Spark buffer, spark vulnerability, and boost dark elemental weakness

Aurelia - Heal, Convert Rec to Def, HoT, DoT, negates, cure ailments and BC/turn

Nadore - Boost atk, def, rec, boost BC when atked and boost light elemental weakness

Semira - BC/HC drop rate, all status ailments, negates and cure ailments

Shera - Mitigate, BC/turn and boost atk

Haile (friend) - Boost BB damage, boost BC, BC/turn, atk/def down and boost atk, def and rec

With Chrome and Haile as lead, I will have 60% HP boost, then from Haile 30% to ATK, DEF and REC. Chrome's LS gives spark damage and BB fill on spark, while Haile give BB damage boost and boost fill rate. Those 2 leads will give high survivability, damage and also constant BB fill.

I usually use that squad to do trials, even on single enemies I am still able to maintain BB fill. This is because of Shera's high combo and easy to spark. Cuz of Shera I can fill the BB gauge from the spark and then then Haile's boost fill rate will do the rest.

What this squad lack are the elemental buff like Ciara, Griff, Shida and etc. Probably the only elemental buff that can be put in is light, dark, which is by swapping Shera with Krantz. Another problem is there is no Crit buffer, tho it doesnt matter since I use this squad for trials and most trial bosses are immune to crit.
