Competitive (High Investment)
Luminance's optimal team slot is Blue for optimal synergy with her team, as Stigmata can rearrange and effectively manage her orbs with Matrix.
Luminance acts as the starter of this team to set up for future rotations with the Level 18 effects of her Signature Move’s Leap. Luminance should swap to Stigmata as soon as possible.
Luminance's Leap is required for her to be an effective Physical Support. SSS-Rank is unnecessary, but sees use in Phantom Pain Cage to allow quick usage of her Signature Move to set up a high CRIT rate buff as quickly as possible. Signature Weapon is a waste of resources unless players plan on giving Luminance Weapon Resonances. If so, players should obtain Type Zero instead of Dragon Wind, as Dragon Wind is sub-optimal despite being her Signature Weapon.
As Stigmata can rearrange her orbs in order of Red-Blue-Yellow, Rigor's optimal spot is in the Red slot of the team. This allows for consistent use of Rigor's QTE for Stigmata and effective use of Double QTE Triggers with Luminance.
Rigor's Leap should be considered a minimum investment for this team as it increases her DPS by a significant amount. Rigor should be at least SS-Rank in this composition, as the ability to reapply her Defense reduction debuff from off-field can greatly improve the team's potential output. SSS-Rank is not necessary, but is highly recommended for the increase to her Defense reduction debuffs. Signature Weapon serves as another increase to Rigor's maximum Defense reduction and allows for Weapon Resonances.
As Stigmata's QTE brings nothing to the team beyond off-field damage and other slots are better used by other members, she takes the remaining position in the team.
Stigmata's SS3-Rank is currently unnecessary, but will become significantly stronger in the future with the release of Alisa: Echo. If players wish to prepare for this eventual increase in power, SS3-Rank is very important to obtain. Before Echo's release, SS3-Rank may see use during certain War Zone Full-Realm Support buffs and for certain situations in Phantom Pain Cage. Her Signature Weapon is strongly recommended for consistently high amounts of Stigmata Will stacks to improve her Signature Move's damage. Weapon Resonances are not currently relevant to Stigmata if below SSS-Rank but will also become significantly more important in the future, as her SS3-Rank does.
