Skia works in any team that requires Lakshana and doesn’t have access to Hathor. As well as teams that need a F2P defensive option, without sacrificing DPS.
Hathor Hyper Carry Budget Team
Hathor,
Skia,
Zero,
Haniel
A version of Hathor Hyper teams, that focus on applying several instances of Remora, to slow enemies to a crawl. Hathor can deal extra instances of damage when applying Remora to an enemy already inflicted with Remora. Then Skia adds some DPS, so he’s an upgrade over a pure defensive character.
Zero’s instant Esper Meter refill works best for this team to trigger more Remora. Haniel is a general ATK buffer, and her Psyche element enables Stain to shred enemies Psyche and Lakshana resistance.
Nanally Budget Charged Team
Nanally,
Jiuyuan,
Zero,
Skia
Nanally doesn’t require Charged, but since her core team has 2/3 of elements required for Charged, it’s an easy option to go for. Skia replaces Hathor if she’s unavailable, while taking less field time and dealing less damage, but adding strong CC to help the team survive.
Nanally and Jiuyuan trigger Blossom with Zero, while Skia is there to trigger Remora and complete the Charged requirement. He can also hold the “Speedy Hedgehog” support set for the team, to free both Jiuyuan and Zero to use a DPS set.
Aurelia F2P Stain Team
Aurelia,
Skia,
Zero,
Jiuyuan
As a Psyche Main carry, Aurelia's best team requires Stain (Psyche + Lakshana) to maximize her DPS. If Hathor is unavailable or used on the other side in Beyond the Rail, Skia can slot in as a backup.
His very short field time works in Aurelia’s favor, as she takes a long time on the field. And with Zero’s instant Esper Meter filling, Skia can proc Remora and Charged.
Chiz Hyper Carry Budget Team
Chiz,
Zero,
Jiuyuan,
Skia
Chiz is another character that can play Hyper Carry and utilize Skia short cooldown and Lakshana element for reactions. More than Nanally’s team, Chiz prefers a Charged team, as her passive greatly enhances Charged. Without Hathor, Skia is your only Lakshana option.
