Personal suggestions on Pardis-Kaine duo DPS team comps
Was aware that Pardis is out for GL today and wanted to suggest some pretty universal team comps with him and Kaine that I personally use. With these two broken DPS you'll see multiple DPS meta starting to take shape. Note that some of these comps may require U20 or units to be released in the near future.
Comp 1: Tiziano and Rique can give P.atk, damage up, and damage cap up to the two DPS very efficiently (+30% P.atk and +30% damage up in 1 turn). Bargello or Alrond for ult replenishment.
Pardis / Bargello or Alrond
Kaine / Billy or Signa
Tiziano / Kilns
Tatloch EX / Rique
Comp 2: This is to add much more shield shaving. Elrica EX's mechanism allows her to constantly switch to backrow whenever she acts, activating Tatloch EX's passive every turn, which can be a huge thing in Cascade Log where your actions can mess up your positions at the start of each battle.
Pardis / Bargello or Alrond
Kaine / Billy or Signa
Emil / Tiziano
Tatloch EX / Elrica EX or Canary
Both comps assume that enemies do not have weaknesses that Pardis and Kaine can hit, which is super rare to begin with. Tiziano implants for Kaine, and Tatloch EX implants for Pardis, thus achieving both universality and fire power. Billy (or Signa) and Kilns are basically necessary because how easily they can provide 30% P.def down and P.atk up. Kilns' ult also works perfectly with Pardis because the burst heal can make up for the HP loss from Pardis ult, keeping your team alive. The chunky 30% crit chance bonus also means that you might not need dead aim from Tiziano in certain situations, allowing him to use other buffing skills.
I do not suggest putting either Billy/Signa or Kilns behind Pardis because Pardis always acts last on 3BP, and if you let his row partner ult from backrow on the same turn, Kaine cannot benefit from the buff/debuff. But of course in certain situations you can just ult one turn in advance.
Also the comps are more biased towards Cascade Log, because you'd want multiple ults. If you're fighting adversary log, replace Bargello or Alrond with units like Lucetta, Sigrid, or Sarisa, but do make sure you always have 4 thieves for that juicy 1.4 crit multiplier.
Lastly, if Odio O gets buffs in the future, you can slot him in the 4th row to make a three DPS team.
