| TOP 5: Anaxa Solo Carry Team
Team Composition:
Anaxa + Sunday / Bronya / Memory Trailblazer + Robin / Silver Wolf / Tingyun + Huohuo / Aventurine / Lingsha
Known as the "Low-Con War God" of the Version 3.0 era, Anaxa retains her relevance in the current meta thanks to her accessible 0+0 build that achieves "endgame readiness." While her mechanics are straightforward and lack self-ATB advance, this simplicity allows her to fully capitalize on buffs from all types of supports, boasting exceptional buff utilization efficiency.
Her team compatibility is outstanding: she synergizes effectively with both top-tier supports like Sunday and Robin, and more accessible options such as Tingyun, Pela, and even Fugue. Whether tackling single-target bosses or clearing groups of enemies, Anaxa adapts flexibly by adjusting her output mode, making her viable across all content.
Though she falls slightly short of traditional powerhouses like Feixiao and Acheron in high-con builds, Anaxa's "three supports + one carry" setup often achieves effortless 0-turn clears in low-con configurations. Her irreplaceable cost-performance ratio solidifies her well-deserved spot at TOP 5.
| TOP 4: Hysilens DOT Team
Team Composition:
Hysilens + Kafka / Black Swan + Robin / Ruan Mei / Tribbie + Huohuo / Gallagher
The once-dormant DOT system has staged a strong revival in Version 3.5. The launch of new carry Hysilens, combined with Kafka's numerical buffs in Version 3.4, creates a "double buff" that restores the DOT team to its Version 3.0-era dominance.
As a core new member of the DOT system, Hysilens typically pairs with Kafka, and adding Black Swan unlocks the "triple DOT detonation" playstyle, achieving burst damage through high-frequency damage procs. For players prioritizing individual output, replacing one support with a damage booster can enhance single-target potential.
However, this team comes with a higher cost for new players, requiring at least a Black Swan to ensure system integrity. Thus, it's more recommended for veteran players who already own Kafka to pull for Hysilens and revitalize their DOT teams.
🎉 For Dot players, excelling with Dot teams clearly requires some investment in constellations. To help Trailblazers, TOPUPlive has prepared guaranteed packs for Hysilens and Kafka.

| TOP 3: Phainon "Three Supports + One Carry"
Team Composition:
Phainon + Sunday / Bronya + Robin / Sparkle / Memory Trailblazer + Tribbie / Ruan Mei / Tingyun
As the flagship character of Version 3.4, Phainon continues to thrive in Version 3.5's environment. Abundant enemy weaknesses and skill damage bonuses allow him to maintain steady performance before the arrival of his dedicated support, Cerydra.
Phainon has been a controversial character since his release: his 0+1 build delivers mediocre output, while a 2+1 build elevates him to top-tier carry status, creating a massive gap between his floor and ceiling. Thus, it's generally advised: "Either don't pull for him, or go all the way to 2+1 for a quality experience."
Excitingly, Phainon's dedicated support Cerydra will debut in the second half of Version 3.5. This will significantly boost his output efficiency, even improving the mid-tier 0+1 build—a crucial upgrade that makes Phainon's future performance highly anticipated.
| TOP 2: The Herta Erudition Team
Team Composition:
The Herta + Anaxa / Jade / Herta + Tribbie / Silver Wolf / Ruan Mei + Lingsha / Huohuo
As the core of the Erudition system, The Herta maintains top-tier strength across version updates with her comprehensive and stable output mode. Despite lacking obvious buffs in recent versions, her "fictional super meta" mechanics and all-environment adaptability keep her at the forefront of carry priorities.
Whether tackling single targets or clearing groups, The Herta secures consistent clears through sustained damage, boasting ceiling-level cost-performance. For players with sufficient budget, upgrading her to 2+1 will further elevate her capabilities, solidifying her dominance. For those seeking a "set-it-and-forget-it" investment, The Herta remains one of the best choices in the current meta.
| TOP 1: Castorice HP-Burning Team
Team Composition:
Castorice + Memory Trailblazer / Sunday + Tribbie / Silver Wolf / Ruan Mei + Hyacine / Luocha / Gallagher
Hyacine's release has elevated Castorice's team to its "complete form," and paired with Silver Wolf's enhanced flexibility, this HP-burning system has become the undisputed "meta answer" of the current version.
In team building, the ATB advance slot can flexibly use Memory Trailblazer or Sunday; with a 2+1 Castorice, even Silver Wolf (for more stable pacing) can be substituted. Among supports, Tribbie stands out as the top choice for her exceptional synergy, while Silver Wolf and Ruan Mei serve as reliable alternatives—players can adjust based on their budget.
Whether at 0+1 or 2+1, Castorice delivers top-tier performance, making her the most worthwhile carry investment in the 3.X era. If you don't own her yet, don't miss her future rerun—her versatility and strength guarantee long-term meta relevance.
| Conclusion
Version 3.5's Abyss environment embodies "transition between new and old, blooming diversity": established systems like Anaxa and The Herta persist, Hysilens leads DOT teams back to glory, and Castorice's HP-burning team claims the top spot with unmatched strength.
As more characters join the roster in future updates, even more powerful systems will emerge. Players can flexibly choose cultivation priorities based on their roster, enjoying the fun of diverse team building.
