Main (Competitive)
This composition shows the recommended investment to compete at higher levels. Investment recommendations will not be available to the majority of players. Refer to Main (Budget) for a more accessible setup.
Rotation playstyles with No.21: Feral offer significant benefit, investment into Feral Scent should not be overlooked.

Blue
Leader
Crimson Weave
Leader. Recommended investment: SS3-Rank, Signature Weapon
Crimson Weave may switch placements with Feral Scent in Phantom Pain Cage.
Crimson Weave is set on Blue as she can only access Red and Yellow Orbs while in Odachi Stance. Blue Orbs will only be used to gain energy to perform Weave: Splashing Thunder during her initial rotation and to quickly trigger a QTE in Phantom Pain Cage. This requires Crimson Weave to switch placements.
SS3-Rank allows for optimization of Crimson Weave's rotation, allowing consistent use of Weave: Karmic Inferno twice per rotation by providing bonus energy on the first use of Resolute Blow when switched in. Signature Weapon greatly improves damage output by increasing the rate at which Aphotic Points are gained, allowing for much quicker gain of a high stack count. Weapon Resonances can also serve to greatly improve damage and rotations through extra Orbs and direct damage improvements.

Red
Garnet
Starter. Recommended investment: SS-Rank, Signature Weapon
Garnet should be set on Red to allow consistent activation of her QTE as Crimson Weave can only access Red and Yellow Orbs while in Odachi Stance, while Feral Scent's Red Orb is her strongest.
Garnet should switch to Crimson Weave to set up Victorious War Flag with her SS-Rank Passive. Garnet may also use a Blue 3-Ping to close the gap or trigger a quick Lightning Fall in Phantom Pain Cage.
SS-Rank allows Garnet to set down Victorious War Flag when switched out, providing immediate application of Lightning Resistance reduction for Crimson Weave. Signature Weapon also provides access to Weapon Resonances, which can drastically benefit Garnet's rotations through extra Orb generation and further increase her debuffs.

Yellow
Feral Scent
Recommended investment: SS3-Rank, Signature Weapon
Feral Scent is set in Yellow as Crimson Weave can only access Red and Yellow Orbs while in Odachi Stance, while Garnet is better set in Red for overall team synergy. Feral Scent remains viable in rotation playstyles even if a Rank lower than Crimson Weave, assuming SS-Rank as the baseline. S5-Rank triggers all available QTEs when performing Nightcleaving Flash or entering Deceleration Zone. SS-Rank grants bonus energy when performing Dusklight and doubles the base DMG buff applied to Nightcleaving Flash from Critical Arclight points. SS3-Rank allows for optimization of Feral Scent's rotation by decreasing time spent in Unleashing, potentially allowing use of 2 set Cottie which can enable the use of Nightcleaving Flash multiple times per rotation. Signature Weapon drastically improves rotations by providing a 3-Ping on switch in. Signature Weapon also doubles the effect of Feral Scent's Lightning DMG Bonus buff and provides access to Weapon Resonances and Harmonization. Harmonization can provide significant improvements to Feral Scent's support through various sets depending on situation. Resonances further improve buffs and are necessary when using 2 set Cottie for extra Orb generation.

Main (Budget)
This composition serves as a more budget friendly version of the Main (Competitive) composition. Unless explicitly stated as otherwise, players should invest based on what can be reasonably afforded before using investment recommendations as a guideline. (For example, obtaining SS-Rank despite Signature Weapon being recommended, as SS-Rank can be obtained through Phantom Pain Cage.)

S5-Rank triggers all available QTEs when performing Resolute Blow at maximum Blade Aura. SS-Rank significantly improves potential damage output by doubling the Aphotic Point gauge and increasing Aphotic Point gain when using 3-Pings and Resolute Blow. Weave: Splashing Thunder will also trigger Matrix if available.

Recommended investment: Signature Weapon
Feral Scent is set in Yellow as Crimson Weave can only access Red and Yellow Orbs while in Odachi Stance, while Garnet is better set in Red for overall team synergy. If attempting to use Feral Scent in a rotation playstyle, SS-Rank should be considered necessary. Signature Weapon drastically improves rotations by providing a 3-Ping on switch in. Signature Weapon also doubles the effect of Feral Scent's Lightning DMG Bonus buff and provides access to Weapon Resonances and Harmonization. Harmonization can provide significant improvements to Feral Scent's support through various sets depending on situation. Resonances further improve both gameplay and buffs.

Blue
Hyperreal
Recommended investment: SS3-Rank, Signature Weapon
Hyperreal may also occasionally be set as Leader in War Zone.
As Hyperreal can not access Blue Pings during Hypermatrix, he should be set on Blue.
Hyperreal's Signature Weapon drastically improves gameplay by triggering Matrix when performing Realm Travel and generating an extra Sight Point, cutting down on Orbs needed to maximize Collapsing Realm's damage. SS3-Rank indirectly improves damage output greatly by allowing Hyperreal to switch his 2 set Memories, as he no longer requires 2 set Cottie.

Empyrea should switch to Epitaph.
SS-Rank allows use of multiple Core Passives with Matrix, drastically improving rotations and grants a Fire DMG Bonus buff on heal. Signature Weapon improves damage and generates 50% Prayer Gauge on switch-in, further streamlining rotations and cutting down on wasted Orbs. Signature Weapon also provides access to Weapon Resonances which greatly improve gameplay through Orb generation and improve buffs.

Leader. Recommended investment: SS3-Rank, Signature Weapon
Epitaph should be set on Yellow as Hyperreal can only access Red and Yellow Orbs during Hypermatrix, while Empyrea is better set in Red.
SS3-Rank increases Epitaph's Fire Resistance reduction debuff. If affordable, SSS-Rank drastically improves overall performance of Epitaph and his team. SSS-Rank increases maximum stack count of Thermal Superconductivity and increases the buff provided by each stack by 5%, increases animation speed of Thermal Erosion, grants an extra Blaze Orb when parrying for the first time on switch in, further increases Fire Resistance reduction, and reduces switch cooldown by 3 seconds. Signature Weapon allows use of Flaming Purgation multiple times per rotation by granting a Red 3-Ping when Epitaph enters Paradigm: Assault twice per switch in.
