Teresa’s kit and role

Teresa occupies a Support / Utility position in team compositions. Key aspects:

• Utility focus — provides diverse combat applications beyond simple damage buffs
• Team flexibility — adapts to various team compositions and strategies
• Complementary pairing — works well alongside Ann for layered support strategies
• Rate-up window — notably easier to acquire during the Eleanor banner

Why Teresa matters beyond the surface description

Teresa’s value lies in her flexibility rather than raw numbers. While Ann amplifies damage directly, Teresa creates conditions that make your existing investments perform better. This means she is not a “win more” character — she is a character who prevents your other characters from underperforming due to tactical constraints.

In the current v1.15 meta, the distinction between buffer and utility support matters because Eleanor’s weapon-switching mechanic demands timing precision. Teresa’s utility applications can create windows of opportunity that raw damage buffs cannot. If your current team struggles with enemy phase transitions, buff uptime during crowd control, or maintaining pressure during boss phase shifts, Teresa addresses these indirectly in ways that Ann cannot.

Artifact recommendations for Teresa

Build Teresa with utility-focused artifact sets. Prioritize artifacts that extend buff duration, reduce cooldowns on utility skills, or provide team-wide resilience bonuses. Since Teresa’s strength is flexibility, artifact choices should preserve that flexibility — avoid locking her into pure damage or crit artifacts, as these undercut her utility-first design. The best artifact sets for Teresa are those that do not pigeonhole her into a single role. Artifact sets that grant energy to allies, extend beneficial effect durations, or provide team-wide shields align with her core utility positioning.

Pull vs save decision framework

Teresa is not a flashy pull, but she rewards strategic thinking. Before spending tickets:

1. Do you have heroes who underperform in specific combat phases? Teresa’s utility may shore up their weaknesses.
2. Are you running dual-support compositions already? Teresa + Ann together create layered coverage that is greater than the sum of parts.
3. Do you plan to pull for Eleanor? The combined Ann + Teresa rate-up on the Eleanor banner means pulling for Eleanor naturally increases your chances of building a support ecosystem.
4. Is your current roster balanced toward damage and light on utility? Teresa may be the missing piece that lets your damage dealers operate at full efficiency.

Team composition with Teresa

Teresa pairs well with:

• Eleanor for wind-element focused team strategies
• Ann for layered support coverage
• DPS characters who benefit from utility debuffs or crowd control
• Compositions that struggle with phase transitions or burst windows
