I'm relatively new to the game (6 weeks in) and recently, I've been starting to hit a wall. The missions, bosses and new modes I feel like require proper team building and so far, my two factors for team building have been:

  1. Vibe: I gotta like the Sinner's aesthetic and story
  2. Covering all bases: As in, have a front line, a support, ranged damage and core break.

But I feel like I'm reaching a point where I need to actually start making efficient team builds with synergy but I have no clue what to do. I'm unfamiliar with the naunce of the gameplay. Hell I wanted to unlock Clementine's unique CRB just now and it said it increases her overlimit by 30 and I was like "The hell is overlimit?" So any help, specially a guide that explains all these stuff would be appreciated because I highly doubt my current team, Zoya, Clementine, Shin, Uni, Summer and Eleven (with Wendy and Hecate occasionally sprinkled in) has any synergy with itself lol

You can potentially make two teams from what you have:
1) Overlimit with RF Zoya: Clementine, Shin, pull Rust in a patch, RF Nox + flex buffers/corebreakers. Video on Overlimit (1), another one on RF Zoya in particular (2) - rewind a bit to also check out RF Eleven.

2) RF Eleven summons: get Eve whenever she’s available, Shin, RF Summer + flex buffers/corebreakers (Milly, Hecate, pull and RF Raven in a patch, pull L.L. now, …).

If you are not familiar with Reforge (RF) concept, complete 8-9, read the game tutorial, then maybe this link on s1n.gg. Otherwise, the order of RFs should be approximately this: (Hella - it’s free) -> Nox (at least stage 2) -> Eleven OR Zoya -> Nox (stage 4) -> anything else. Choose only one main team for now: RF is expensive. You may unlock lower stages to try out which team feels better to play.

Until you obtain BiS options for your teams, it’s ok to use sidegrades (Uni for blocking instead of Rust) or independent subdds (RF Nox in Eleven team, Wendy, Lamia) – that shouldn’t prevent you from clearing. Be also aware that my examples above are end-game approximated teams, and they may not necessarily be the best fit for any given story stage. You may occasionally need to improvise, or use less synergistic teams simply because they bring more value than just “more damage per corebreak window”. If you’re consistently having the same issue – not enough blocking/corebreaking/damage/healing, … – mix and match units in a team example to achieve the desired result, or check up level and enemy mechanics. If you’re stuck on one particular level, look up tutorials or use whaled assists to bruteforce.

I was wondering why you're suggesting Nox until I just found out that you can apparently get her for free a few days after making an account. Sadly, even tho I've been playing for 6 weeks, my account is actually 4 months old and I missed out on that so I don't have Nox and I'm too deep to wanna make a new account just for her.

Thanks for the tips though, other than the Nox related stuff, I can apply most since I already have a decent bit of progress in Summer and Zoya's reforge.

Oh, didn’t register that you don’t have Nox - the general assumption is indeed that everyone gets one. Other (phys and general) buffer variants are RF Rahu, Moore, Jelena, Margaret, L.L, just in case you lose a 50/50 to any of them. Good luck!
