• Hyoga (Cygnus): His freeze abilities are unreliable and his damage is lackluster.
• Shun (Andromeda): Offers limited support and his ultimate is easily interrupted.
• Ikki (Phoenix): His self-revival is not enough to compensate for his low stats and unreliable damage.

Team Building Strategies: Synergies and Compositions

Choosing the right Saints is only half the battle. Understanding team synergies and building effective compositions is crucial for success. Here are a few examples:

• The “Immortal” Team: Athena, Shion, Aldebaran. This team focuses on survivability and outlasting the opponent.
• The “Burst” Team: Hades, Saga, Aiolia. This team aims to quickly eliminate key targets with burst damage.
• The “Control” Team: Poseidon, Kanon, Dohko. This team focuses on controlling the battlefield with crowd control effects.
• The “True Damage” Team: God Cloth Miro, Shura, Aiolos. This team is build around the effect that ignores the defense.

Experiment with different team compositions and find what works best for your playstyle and the available Saints.

Investing in Your Saints: Leveling, Skills, and Equipment

Even the strongest Saints require investment to reach their full potential. Focus on:

• Leveling: Increasing your Saints’ levels will significantly boost their stats.
• Skills: Upgrading skills will enhance their effectiveness and unlock new abilities.
• Equipment: Equipping your Saints with the right gear will further improve their stats and provide additional bonuses. Prioritize equipment that complements their strengths and addresses their weaknesses.
