Staple Pilgrim team with the most meta units available in the game at the moment. Last spot can be filled with either another damage dealer or a healer depending on your roster.
SWHA can be replaced with
Neon: Vision Eye
Neon: Vision Eye
since all the new Counters squad have huge synergy together.
B1 alternatives
With the 3.5th anniversary,
Little Mermaid
Little Mermaid
becomes the second priority (or you can use them together).
The only other real option here is
Dorothy
Dorothy
if you don’t have Siren, since
Rapunzel
Rapunzel
is a 60-second cooldown.
B2 alternatives
Nayuta
Nayuta
is the closest unit to
Crown
Crown
in terms of buffs and utility while having really good damage herself.
Grave
Grave
can be used as a buffer if you don’t have the other two. The rest of options are not great sadly.
B3 alternatives
A bunch of nice options here depending on the stage and element you are facing.
- Electric weak
Cinderella
Cinderella
- Iron weak
Snow White
Snow White
or
Red Hood
Red Hood
- Fire weak
Mihara: Bonding Chain
Mihara: Bonding Chain
- Water weak
Dorothy: Serendipity
Dorothy: Serendipity
- Wind weak
Liberalio
Liberalio
and
Scarlet: Black Shadow
Scarlet: Black Shadow
Maids are the most popular choice for B2 units here while using
Rapi: Red Hood
Rapi: Red Hood
as the main damage dealer.
Last spot has to be a burst 3 if you are using this composition to have proper rotations.
B1 alternatives
Emma: Tactical Upgrade
Emma: Tactical Upgrade
can be a good pick ONLY if used with her squad members.
Both
Zwei
Zwei
(Treasure) and
Miranda
Miranda
(Treasure) are also popular options depending on your damage dealers and offburst CDR.
Label
Label
(a bit copium) can be used for Iron weak stages.
Lastly,
Soline: Frost Ticket
Soline: Frost Ticket
is a great offburst CDR unit.
B2 alternatives
Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade
Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade
can be a good pick ONLY if used with her squad members.
Brid: Silent Track
Brid: Silent Track
is a really strong debuffer for Fire weak stages, while
Helm: Aquamarine
Helm: Aquamarine
is similar but for Iron weak stages.
B3 alternatives
Both
Helm
Helm
(Treasure) and
Privaty
Privaty
(Treasure) are among the best buffers in the game and a great option as your last spot unit.
Vesti: Tactical Upgrade
Vesti: Tactical Upgrade
is a pretty nice since her true damage helps a lot under big combat power deficit.
Other alternatives could be
Diesel: Winter Sweets
Diesel: Winter Sweets
for Fire weak stages or
Maiden: Ice Rose
Maiden: Ice Rose
for Electric weak ones.
With
Anis: Star
Anis: Star
, this tower went from the weakest to one of the easiest to progress after the 3.5 anniversary.
With
Moran
Moran
treasure there is no problem surviving, so you only have to worry about adding another burst 3 unit for more damage and proper rotations.
B1 alternatives
If you don’t have the main B1 girls, you can still run bunnies with
Rouge
Rouge
and
Blanc
Blanc
, they are still powerful and provide everything you need (heals, CDR, and buffs).
Volume
Volume
can still be used but it’s slowly losing more and more usage as new units get released.
B2 alternatives
Rosanna: Chic Ocean
Rosanna: Chic Ocean
is a nice option to run as main B2 buffer if you don’t have bunny girls.
Velvet
Velvet
is a great offburst option, while
Viper
Viper
(Treasure) can be used on Water weak stages.
B3 alternatives
- Iron weak you can run
Soda: Twinkling Bunny
Soda: Twinkling Bunny
or
Milk: Blooming Bunny
Milk: Blooming Bunny
only if you are willing to manual her - Water weak you can run
Ludmilla: Winter Owner

or
Bready
Bready
(if paired with
Crust
Crust
) - Wind weak you can run
Sakura: Bloom in Summer
Sakura: Bloom in Summer
- Electric weak
Anis: Sparkling Summer
Anis: Sparkling Summer
is a great DPS and buffer
Since day 1
Liter
Liter
still is carrying here as the best B1 unit, with
Naga
Naga
providing heals and both overspec damage dealers being more than enough on most stages.
B1 alternatives
Nothing lol.
N102
N102
if you have nothing else for the ATK buff or even using
Tove
Tove
(Treasure) if you have shotgun B3 units.
B2 alternatives
If you don’t have
Naga
Naga
, your only real options are
Admi
Admi
for the reload speed buffs or
Trina
Trina
since at least she provides great buffs on her burst.
B3 alternatives
Drake
Drake
(Treasure) is the best option here for her buffs and damage.
Quency: Escape Queen
Quency: Escape Queen
or
Ein
Ein
are also really popular picks depending on the stage element.
If you don’t have any of those units, you can still use “niche” characters depending on the stage like
Laplace
Laplace
(Treasure),
Maxwell
Maxwell
,
Elegg: Boom and Shock
Elegg: Boom and Shock
or even
Julia
Julia
(Treasure).
