HSR – March 7th (Hunt): best teams

March 7th (Hunt) will be a powerful addition to anyone’s roster. As we’ve mentioned above, her kit is versatile enough to fit two different types of teams, which is great for team-building in the title’s endgame modes.

• March 7th (Hunt) (Main DPS), Topaz (Sub DPS), Robin (Support), Aventurine (Support)

You can play March 7th (Hunt) as part of a follow-up team, since her Eidolon 2 (which you will be able to get for free through a permanent event) adds such a move to her kit. In this set-up, March can switch between Topaz as her Shifu for extra damage and Aventurine to reduce the enemy’s Toughness more quickly. Robin is a powerful support character for follow-up teams, but you can easily slot characters like Sparkle, Tingyun, or Bronya into this party.

• March 7th (Hunt) (Main DPS), Trailblazer (Harmony) (Support), Ruan Mei (Support), Gallagher (Support)

In her Break configuration, March 7th (Hunt) can act as a free-to-play stand-in for Firefly. Thanks to Ruan Mei and Trailblazer (Harmony) providing Break Effect and Toughness Reduction boosts as well as the ability to deal Super Break Damage, March will have a high damage output. Since he synergizes with this set-up, Gallagher is the perfect healer for this squad. He’s also a great candidate to be March’s Shifu in this configuration, since he’ll allow her to stack Charge quickly.

If you don’t have Ruan Mei, you could add Xueyi into this team for extra Toughness Reduction.
