Build Genshin teams around the characters you actually have.
Most team-building advice assumes a roster you don't have. You read a 'best team,' realize you're missing half of it, and you're back to guessing. A team is only good if you can actually field it — leveled, geared, and on the right roles.
A good comp is four roles that cover each other
Every reliable team answers four jobs: who deals the damage, who enables it, who keeps everyone alive, and who keeps energy and buffs flowing. The specific characters change every patch — the role structure doesn't. Start from the jobs your account can already fill, not from a tier list's ideal lineup.
Investment matters more than rarity
A character you've leveled, talented, and geared will out-perform a higher-rarity one sitting unbuilt. Before you slot anyone, the real questions are: are they ascended, are their talents high enough to matter, and is the artifact set pulling in the right direction? Owning a character and being able to use them are different things.
Synergy beats raw power
Two strong characters who don't share a win condition lose to two modest characters who do. The best team for you is the one where each pick makes the others hit harder, recharge faster, or survive longer — given exactly what you've built.
How Luminary builds your team
Luminary reads your synced roster — levels, weapons, artifact stats, and constellations — and assembles teams you can field today, with the reasoning spelled out.
- Comps drawn only from characters you own and have invested in
- Each role filled by your best real option, not a generic ideal
- Plain-language reasoning for why each pick belongs
- Fresh swaps suggested as you build new characters

Questions, answered.
Start from roles, not names: a main damage dealer, an enabler who sets up their damage, a healer or shielder for survival, and a support that restores energy and adds buffs. Fill each role with the best-invested character you actually own, then check that their effects reinforce one another. Luminary does this automatically from your synced roster.
No. A meta team you can't field is worth nothing. You'll get more out of a well-built team using characters you've actually leveled and geared than a 'better' team sitting half-complete. Build around what you have, and pull to upgrade specific roles over time.
Absolutely. Many of the most consistent enablers, healers, and supports are four-stars, and a fully invested four-star beats an unbuilt five-star. What matters is investment and role fit, not rarity.
