Best Teams in Stella Sora [Ultimate Team Comp Guide]

Stella Sora is a gacha RPG where team compositions play a huge part in your performance, and if you set up your team in the wrong way, you’ll be failing stages for no reason at all. Below, we will explain how team compositions work in Stella Sora, the best teams, replacement characters, upgrade priorities, and more! Scroll down, and let’s dive in.

How Team-Building Works in Stella Sora

Team-building in Stella Sora is fairly simple: you want 3 characters that are all a different role (Vanguard, Versatile, Support), and you want them all to be of the same element (Aqua, Ignis, Ventus, Terra, Lux, Umbra). If they are not of the same element, their debuffs, mechanics, etc. won’t work together, and you’ll be missing out on DPS. Here is what each character role means:

• Vanguard: Vanguard characters should be in the Main slot on your team, and they will be your main DPS. Vanguards are the highest priority both when it comes to upgrades (because they’re the ones on the field and tanking damage) and recruitment for new characters (check out our reroll guide to learn which characters are the best early on).
• Versatile: Versatile characters can be in both the Main and Support slots, depending on what kind of skills they have. Generally, they are more often used in the Support slot.
• Support: Support characters should almost always be deployed in the Support slots, and they will provide your squad with buffs, sustain, utility, etc. However, some supports can work as Mains, depending on what kind of kit other characters of that element have. Supports are the lowest priority when it comes to upgrades.

Difference Between Main and Support Positions

In Stella Sora, your team has three slots: one Main and two Support. Where you put your characters matters a lot, as you won’t be able to switch characters while in battle. Here is what the team positions mean and how they affect the character’s gameplay:

• Main: The character in the Main slot is the one who will be deployed in battle and whose HP, Ultimate, Main Skill, and Basic Attacks you’ll have at your disposal. They should be your best DPS and carry of the whole team.
• Support: The characters in the Support slots aren’t deployed and show up only when you use their Support Skill or Ultimate. Main Skills of characters in the Support position don’t work, and you can’t use them.

Best Teams for Each Element in Stella Sora

Now that you know the basics of team building in Stella Sora, it’s time we dive into the best teams. In the tables below, you’ll find the best teams for each element, with the best-in-slot characters at the top and their replacements below. Teams with different element characters don’t perform well at all, so we won’t cover those. Also, check out our Stella Sora tier list to learn which characters are the best overall, and also our best builds guide for all the best potential builds.

Best Aqua Team

Aqua is the element in Stella Sora with the most different characters and the second-best team (after Terra). Aqua characters stack Freeze and Chill, which are both good CC effects. Here are the best possible teams and alternatives for the Aqua element:

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Chitose	Freesia	Teresa
Budget	Shimiao	Iris	Teresa

Best Ignis Team

Ignis is a beginner-friendly element with a team that you can build completely out of 4-star characters, but Chixia is a very strong sub/main DPS, and with her, you’ll have a team comp with the highest burst damage in Stella Sora. Here is the best team and alternatives for the Ignis team:

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Amber	Chixia	Flora
Budget	Amber	Kasimira	Flora

Best Ventus Team

Ventus is one of the hardest elements to make a good team for, as the gap in performance between Noya and Nanoha is quite large, forcing you to get Nanoha, as well as two 4-stars that don’t have alternatives. However, with Nanoha, it’s a very good team with a lot of AoE damage. Here are the best teams and character alternatives for the Ventus teams:

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Nanoha	Canace	Ann
Budget	Noya	Canace	Ann

Best Terra Team

Terra is the element with by far the best team in Stella Sora right now, consisting of Gerie, Ridge, and Nazuna. However, two out of those are 5-star characters, meaning that it’s extremely difficult to complete it, and you’ll probably need to reroll a lot if you want to start with a full Terra team. Here are the best Terra teams:

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Gerie	Ridge	Nazuna

Best Lux Team

Lux has a pretty decent team, with Tilia being by far the tankiest and coolest main in Stella Sora right now. She buffs Enemy Lux Mark DMG Taken while being indestructible. Shia and Minova proc the Lux Mark at an insane rate, making the whole comp pretty busted. There are also budget options, but they aren’t as good as Tilia as the main.

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Tilia	Minova	Shia
Good	Minova	Jinglin	Tilia
Budget	Laru	Jinglin	Tilia

Best Umbra Team

Umbra is one of, if not the weakest team in Stella Sora right now, with Caramel as an underwhelming DPS. So, you’ll use Coronis as your Main, and Mistique as a sub-DPS. If you need it to proc the elemental weakness, it will outperform other teams, but otherwise, it’s pretty bad. Here are the best Umbra team compositions:

Team	Main	Support	Support
Best	Coronis	Mistique	Cosette
Good	Mistique	Coronis	Cosette
Budget	Caramel	Mistique	Cosette

Stella Sora Teams / Elements Tier List

Tier	Elements / Teams
S	Terra Gerie Ridge Nazuna Aqua Aqua Freesia Teresa Lux Tilia Minova Shia
A	Ventus Nanoha Canace Ann Ignis Amber Chixia Flora
B	Umbra Coronis Mistique Cosette

In the table above, you can see the current ranking of all elements / elemental teams in Stella Sora. Note that some bad teams might be the best-in-slot options for certain stages if they can proc the elemental weakness. However, they are considered bad when their performance across all game modes is considered.
