Sustain
Hyperbloom teams always want at least one Dendro character, one Hydro character, and one Electro character. These slots are incredibly flexible with Hyperbloom dealing strong amounts of damage as long as reactions are taking place. Kuki is incredibly important in these teams with her regular Electro application reacting with Dendro Cores and dealing damage.
Nahida applies consistent Dendro marks that react with Hydro to generate a steady stream of Dendro Cores. Her on-field presence allows her to benefit from Kuki's healing while driving the team's reactions.
Xingqiu's rapid Hydro application is essential for generating the Dendro Cores that Kuki will subsequently trigger. His damage reduction and defensive utility provide a safety net for the on-field driver.
Yelan provides additional Hydro application and a ramping DMG buff for the active character. Double-Hydro resonance increases Kuki's healing and Yelan's own damage via the HP bonus.
Kuki is the lynchpin of the team, using her Skill's periodic Electro pulses to trigger Hyperbloom reactions on nearby Dendro Cores. She builds full EM to maximize Hyperbloom damage while providing consistent healing.
