Shotgun teams have been a staple composition on all raids since Tove Tove Tier 3Treasure: Tier 2MissilisWaterBurst 1Assault RifleSupporter came out.

There are multiple variations of this team depending on what supports you have available, and Shift Up has released a few burst 3 options to be the main damage dealers depending on the element.

Core units

Drake

Tove

The only hard requisite to use the shotgun team is having an invested Tove Tove Tier 3Treasure: Tier 2MissilisWaterBurst 1Assault RifleSupporter . If you invest in her treasure it’s even better, but her base version already works really good for both Solo and Union raids.

The reason why she’s so important for this composition is the Attack Speed buff on skill 2, fixing one of the core issues shotgun units have (they’re kinda slow).

Of course Tove Tove Tier 3Treasure: Tier 2MissilisWaterBurst 1Assault RifleSupporter also provides other buffs, but this is the main reason SG teams can work on raids.

Drake Drake Tier 4Treasure: Tier 2MissilisFireBurst 3ShotgunAttacker (Treasure) is the sub DPS and buffer here. Even when switching your main DPS, she usually stays as the second best option to further increase the damage of the team.

Burst 3 DPS options

Dorothy: Serendipity

Privaty: Unkind Maid

Soda: Twinkling Bunny

Dorothy: Serendipity Dorothy: Serendipity Tier 1PilgrimWaterBurst 3ShotgunAttacker is the main damage dealer of this team nowadays. Even off element she will out DPS other shotguns since she’s the one that benefits the most from Attack Speed buffs.

Soda: Twinkling Bunny Soda: Twinkling Bunny Tier 2TetraIronBurst 3ShotgunAttacker was the queen of shotgun DPS until Doro arrived. She’s still a great option and for elemental content can be used over the other alternatives.

Privaty: Unkind Maid Privaty: Unkind Maid Tier 4ElysionElectricBurst 3ShotgunAttacker is the least priority nowadays as damage dealer but still a nice option. She works best with characters that increase pellet count like Leona Leona Tier 4TetraWaterBurst 2ShotgunSupporter .

What about buffers?

Arcana: Fortune Mate

Blanc

Brid: Silent Track

Grave

Leona

Arcana: Fortune Mate Arcana: Fortune Mate Tier 2ElysionFireBurst 2ShotgunAttacker has become the main B2 buffer for the shotgun team. On fire weak raids, you could use instead Brid: Silent Track Brid: Silent Track Tier 2ElysionFireBurst 2ShotgunSupporter .

Blanc Blanc Tier 2TetraWindBurst 2Assault RifleDefender and Rouge Rouge Tier 2TetraElectricBurst 1Sniper RifleSupporter (or Noir Noir Tier 3TetraWindBurst 3ShotgunAttacker ) are still a popular pick since it allows people to not worry about sustain, while still getting plenty of buffs.

Grave Grave Tier 2PilgrimFireBurst 2Assault RifleSupporter is the best buffer ONLY if you are using Dorothy: Serendipity Dorothy: Serendipity Tier 1PilgrimWaterBurst 3ShotgunAttacker since her “sniper” shots will benefit from the increased pierce damage.

Leona Leona Tier 4TetraWaterBurst 2ShotgunSupporter was the main buffer for this team initially, but she is the least popular option nowadays since pellet mechanics are not fleshed out.

About cooldown reduction (CDR)

Shotgun teams are pretty flexible when it comes to damage dealers, but they all have the same problem, since Tove Tove Tier 3Treasure: Tier 2MissilisWaterBurst 1Assault RifleSupporter is your burst 1, you are lacking proper rotations.

Soda: Twinkling Bunny Soda: Twinkling Bunny Tier 2TetraIronBurst 3ShotgunAttacker fixes this by increasing burst full time duration, making your rotations better even without CDR.

This is one of the few teams in the game where running no cooldown reduction is common.

Recently, Shift Up introduced Soline: Frost Ticket Soline: Frost Ticket Tier 2ElysionWaterBurst 1ShotgunSupporter which fixes most problems for shotgun team rotations at the cost of eating one slot (offburst) in your team.

Dra‎ke burst

Drake Drake Tier 4Treasure: Tier 2MissilisFireBurst 3ShotgunAttacker burst has to be manually aimed, if you are not careful while playing on manual, you can miss it since it will go where the cursor is aiming.

The layer system of this game is weird since technically is 2D but they’re using 3D elements within Unity, so just make sure you take your time to properly aim her burst.
