Campaign is nothing but a CP (combat power) check.
You can clear up to mid-game without having to worry too much about team compositions, but this changes late game and for hard mode.
After you reach chapter 20-ish or if you want to push hard mode, you will have to start putting some thoughts on your team and how they work together.
When it comes to the current best team compositions for campaign, there are a few pilgrims, but we’ll include alternatives below.
Crown Crown is the strongest burst 2 and buffer in general in the game. Not only she provides support for all your damage dealers, but invulnerability for herself on skill 2 and a shield for everyone in the team on her burst.
Little Mermaid Little Mermaid is a fantastic burst 1 and sub DPS character. She provides buffs for the team (attack damage), debuffs for the enemy (damage taken increased), great cooldown reduction AND increased burst generation.
Helm (Treasure) Helm (Treasure) has replaced 
Naga Naga as the best healer / support for Crown Crown in the game. She provides constant heals, attack damage on burst and extra burst generation.
Rapi: Red Hood Rapi: Red Hood has made herself a staple pick for any type of content regardless of element because how strong she is. Perfect synergy with Little Mermaid Little Mermaid for easier rotations and amazing damage output.There are A LOT of options for damage dealers. Personally I like using 
Scarlet: Black Shadow Scarlet: Black Shadow and 
Liberalio Liberalio but this depends on your account investment and what element you are facing in the current stage.
Here are some recommendations of strong and staple Burst 3 units used in clearing campaign, both normal and hard, at high deficit:
Special mention here for Nayuta Nayuta , since she’s a mix of DPS and support unit and 100% worht using.
Crown Crown skill 2 “Royal Attire” last part gives Attack Damage to everyone in the team only when recovery effect takes place, meaning when she gets any form of active healing (or life leech). This buff last 7 seconds so you need someone who can consistently provide heals for Crown Crown to maintain her buff.
There are a lot of options for heals, but Helm (Treasure) Helm (Treasure) is the best one since it’s consistent enough and also gives the team extra buffs, making them the most broken combination of support units at the moment in the game.
After the synergy mentioned above, it’s also important to remember positioning in this game matters when it comes to get buffs. Let’s put the next scenario, everyone in the team is 100% HP, when Naga Naga heals 2 allies with the lowest HP percentage, who gets the heal first?
If everyone is 100% HP, NIKKE will apply the recovery effect (and buffs in general) from left to right. This means if you want to consistently proc Crown Crown skill 2 for extra Attack Damage, just to be safe, put her always on the first position of your team.
This doesn’t matter if you are using Helm (Treasure) Helm (Treasure) since she heals everyone rather than just one or two units, but it’s important to remember.
Red Hood Red Hood is (for now) the only unit in the game that can burst at any position, making her the most versatile unit by far. This can also be confusing for new players since they don’t know when to burst with her, but as a general rule of thumb:
There are two type of weapons in the game you can either spam or full charge; sniper rifles and rocket launchers. Unless the character you are manually playing has a skill that activates when “fully charges the attack”, it’s always better to spam attacks as fast as possible.
This has two reasons behind it: over a 3-minute fight the DPS is higher, generally speaking, and you can generate more burst this way.
It used to be mandatory to manual a sniper rifle to generate burst, but nowadays you can completely ignore them if you don’t like destroying your wrist (and your mouse) since rotations are so fast with recent units.
