GUIDETeam Building and Rotation

At a Glance

A team built from Identities that apply and maintain Bleed. Choose a Ring variant with 5 Ring members, or a Bloodfiend variant that cycles Bloodfeast through La Manchaland Identities.

Strengths

Ring Identities combine strong Bleed application with strong physical performance, making sustained Bleed practical.
Many skills scale with the number of enemy negative effects, so stacking debuffs raises the whole team's damage.
The Ring Pointillist Student is a near-priority pick in both Ring and Bloodfiend variants.

Choosing a variant

Ring: With at least 5 Ring members, the Corporist Ring Nursefather and Ring Apprentice start with 10 Corpus Ingredient for a stronger opening. Best against single targets, though the Nursefather's area S3 also handles groups.
Bloodfiends: The Manager of La Manchaland enhances S3 using Bloodfeast accumulated through other La Manchaland Identities and Bleed damage. The One Who Grips's Whistles quickly raises SP. Play on the assumption that enemy Bleed will not build very high.

Rotation

In the Ring variant, stack at least 5 Mauled Color from The Ring Fauvist Docent, then land The Ring Fauvist Student's enhanced S3.
Fill remaining slots with Bleed Identities. Night Awls Capitano and Hornet【Alteration】 are excellent at accumulating negative effects.
The Priest of La Manchaland fuels Bloodfeast in the Bloodfiend variant. Often, guarding to focus on enabling Whistles is better than trying to deal damage with his skills.
Haute Couture:: The Crimson God of Le Rouge Sinclair and Haute Couture:: Boutique du Rouge Ishmael also make a strong pair. The Crimson God's S2 and S3 hurt allies, but Le Rouge Identities take priority for those hits and endure through self-healing. More Le Rouge Identities make the package stronger.
Healing mainly comes from these two.
- Rodion's Hex Nail
- Faust's Fluid Sac
The Bloodfiend variant can aim for a large burst through Don Quixote's Yearning-Mircalla.

Weaknesses and answers

The Ring variant has a largely fixed lineup. Without all 5, the Corporist members have a weak opening.
Fluid Sac is hard to fund in Regular Encounters starting with zero resources.

Team Builds

Example lineups: 7 deployed Sinners

Ring (standard)

Deploy 5 Ring Identities that grow stronger with the number of enemy negative effects, fighting while maintaining Bleed. Best against single targets, but the Ring Nursefather's area S3 also handles groups.

E.G.O

Bloodfiends (La Manchaland)

Use La Manchaland Identities to collect Bleed damage on the field as Bloodfeast and enhance the Manager's S3. The One Who Grips's Whistles quickly raises SP. Focus on cycling Bloodfeast rather than building enemy Bleed.

The Manager of La ManchalandDon Quixote · Season 5
The core unit: spends Bloodfeast to reach at least 15 Hardblood and enhance S3.
The One Who GripsFaust · Season 1
Whistles quickly restores allies' SP through Lust Resonance. Can also use Fluid Sac.
The Princess of La ManchalandRodion · Season 5
S2 grants Attack Power Up to herself and allies for reliable clashes from the opening.

The Prince of La ManchalandMeursault · Season 6

E.G.O

Pairs and trios

Groups that work well together through affiliations and other synergies

Ring package

With all 5 together, the Corporist Nursefather and Apprentice start with 10 Corpus Ingredient for a stronger opening. Unlike the other Ring members, these 2 scale with their own Corpus Ingredient, so plan around 5 Ring members.

The House of Spiders: The Ring NursefatherHong Lu · Season 7
A Corporist Ring member with area S3.
The House of Spiders: The Ring ApprenticeFaust · Season 7
A Corporist Ring member that sustains Bleed Count.
The Ring Pointillist StudentYi Sang · Standard

Bloodfiend package (La Manchaland)

The Manager's skills strengthen alongside other La Manchaland Identities. The Priest's self-damage fuels Bloodfeast, while the Princess and Prince support allies. Including the Barber alongside the Manager makes Bloodfeast harder to cycle.

The Manager of La ManchalandDon Quixote · Season 5
The core unit that spends Bloodfeast to enhance S3.
The Princess of La ManchalandRodion · Season 5
Distributes Attack Power Up while applying Bleed and Rupture.

The Barber of La ManchalandOutis · Season 5
An attacker that develops Scissorblades through Bloodfeast. The Manager makes Bloodfeast harder to accumulate.

Le Rouge pair

After awakening Noble Dignity, the Crimson God has exceptional damage and Bleed application, but S2 and S3 also hurt allies. Le Rouge Identities take priority for that damage and have strong self-healing, so pairing him with Boutique reduces this drawback. More Le Rouge Identities make the package stronger.

Haute Couture:: The Crimson God of Le RougeSinclair · Season 8
Spend roughly 3 turns healing and buffing allies in Childhood, then awaken Noble Dignity to attack through Bleed and L'Abject.
Haute Couture:: Boutique du RougeIshmael · Season 8
Uses self-damage to enter the Changing Room and transform into Full Makeover. Prioritizes taking the Crimson God's attacks and endures through self-healing.

Priority picks

The team's core: include these Identities where possible

The House of Spiders: The Ring NursefatherHong Lu · Season 7

The Ring Pointillist StudentYi Sang · Standard
A Pierce attacker whose damage rises with the number of enemy negative effects. S2's chain of Coin reuse is his main attack, making him a near-priority pick even in Bleed teams outside the Ring.
