Stella Sora mixes twin-stick arena action with gacha RPG systems. You field one Main Trekker in real time while two Supports jump in via skills and ultimates. Because most bosses carry two elemental weaknesses and one resistance, the right trio matters far more than raw rarity.

Below you’ll find the best teams for every element, then a practical framework to create (and future-proof) your own squads as the roster expands.

How Team-Building Works in Stella Sora

Before chasing banners in the Stella Sora Gacha, learn the fundamentals. Here’s the quick primer, then you’ll see it applied in each element section.

• Roles & layout: Most lineups want one Vanguard/Versatile as your on-field carry (Main slot) and two Supports that bring damage amps, shields, CC, or off-field DPS. You cannot swap characters mid-fight, so your Main must comfortably handle pressure.
• Mono-element synergy: Running three of the same element (Aqua/Ignis/Ventus/Terra/Lux/Umbra) lets marks, debuffs, and passives stack reliably. Off-element supports can work for a specific utility, but mono wins most boss checks.
• Upgrade priorities: Funnel levels/skills into your Main first, then supports whose dupes or passives grant teamwide ATK/crit/element-damage buffs. Gear that enhances your Main’s attack loop and crit consistency is high value.
• Flow & timing: Fire support skills to seed marks/debuffs; unleash your carry’s skills, and time ultimates when enemies cluster or bosses stagger for maximum results. In Monolith runs, draft perks that extend mark uptime or speed up your carry’s cycle.

Master these basics and every team below will make more sense—and be easier to tweak later.

Best Aqua Team in Stella Sora

Chill and Freeze control, wide AoE marks, safe and consistent clears.

• Main: Chitose — fast multi-hits to stack Chill and Aqua Marks, frequent Freeze.
• Support 1: Freesia — AoE field, mark spreading, can berserk to fight alongside Chitose.
• Support 2: Teresa (shield + team damage with dupes) or Iris (free; big AoE ult + marks).

Chitose’s hit frequency turbo-charges Freeze; Freesia adds off-field damage and mark uptime; Teresa/Iris stabilize fights and boost team DPS. You can also use Shimiao as a budget main if you’re missing a 5-star DPS.

Best Terra Team in Stella Sora

Detonating Terra Marks for explosive bursts and sturdy single-target control.

• Main: Gerie — leap strike, Iron Cage link, detonates marks; huge line-shot ult.
• Support 1: Nazuna — plushies that heal or deal damage, applies marks, big post-ult ATK buff.
• Support 2: Ridge — AoE Terra damage, marks, Earth Veins; dupes grant team ATK.

Nazuna’s ATK window lines up with Gerie’s detonation cycle, while Ridge keeps marks rolling. This is the most complete late-game team when assembled.

Best Ignis Team in Stella Sora

Long-range pressure with accessible, high-impact 4-star supports.

• Main: Amber — free 4-star; safe range, scales hard with dupes.
• Support 1: Chixia — crimson dragon summons for constant off-field Fire DPS.
• Support 2: Flora — top-tier 4-star support; Crit Rate/Crit Damage buffs + bonus Fire damage.

Amber snipes while Chixia/Flora stack passive damage and crit multipliers, creating huge burst windows.

Alternative: Kasimira can main if Amber is under-duped; you can also try on-field Chixia at some cost to peak DPS.

Best Ventus Team in Stella Sora

Forgiving AoE, clone/halo damage, and great autoplay performance.

• Main: Nanoha — performs well on or off field; clones/shurikens tick constantly.
• Support 1: Ann — wind wall for mitigation + ATK/skill/Ventus-damage buffs (scales with dupes).
• Support 2: Canace — wind halo around your carry; cyclone ult; dupes add team ATK.

Nanoha’s background DPS keeps pressure while Ann/Canace layer safety and teamwide multipliers.

Budget start: Noya can main early; swap to Nanoha when obtained.

Best Lux Team in Stella Sora

Stuns and front-loaded melee damage; fantastic early/mid-game tempo.

• Main: Minova — powerful early/mid melee carry.
• Support 1: Tilia — frequent stuns + team ATK; dupes add Ultimate/Skill Damage buffs.
• Support 2: Jinglin — Lux Marks + Qilin spirit for sustained AoE; first dupe adds team ATK.

Tilia pins packs so Minova can stick; Jinglin sustains marks and passive damage.

Alternative: Laru mains early then pivots to support once Minova arrives.

Best Umbra Team in Stella Sora

Summons, debuffs, and crowd control; situational but shines into weakness.

• Mistique (Main) + Cosette + Caramel — Mistique’s summons carry; Cosette debuffs/stuns; Caramel adds safe ranged DPS.
• Coronis (Main) + Mistique + Cosette — prefer Coronis on-field? Mistique shifts off-field with minimal loss; Cosette remains mandatory for damage amps.

Umbra relies on Cosette’s debuffs to hit respectable numbers; choose your main based on dupes and comfort.

Build Your Own Squad (That Stays Good After Meta Shifts)

Power creep happens, new Trekkers land, and balance nudges numbers, but good process outlives any patch. Use these tips to keep lineups relevant even as the meta evolves:

• Scout weaknesses first: Most bosses have two vulnerabilities and one resistance—start there to lock your element.
• Favor mono-element trios: Stacking marks/debuffs and passive bonuses is a bigger lift than a single flashy off-element pick.
• Pick a durable Main: Range, dashes, shields, or self-peel make auto and hard modes less punishing.
• Layer enablers, not just stats: Supports that apply marks, amplify ATK/crit/element damage, or add off-field DPS scale better than flat healers in most content.
• Bring one safety valve: A shield, wall, stun, Chill/Freeze—any tool that buys your Main time to work.
• Draft smart in Monoliths: Perks that extend mark uptime, shorten cooldowns, or speed attack cycles usually outperform generic stat bumps.
• Invest with intent: Main’s levels/skills first, followed by dupes that unlock teamwide buffs on supports, and lastly gear that tightens your Main’s rotation (crit, ATK, speed).

Keep iterating with that checklist and you’ll swap units in and out without breaking your core game plan. When a new banner drops, ask: does this unit seed more marks, open a stronger damage amp, or give my Main better uptime? If yes, it’s an upgrade; if not, it’s a sidegrade.

Stella Sora rewards clean fundamentals more than chasing every new face. Anchor around one or two elements you enjoy, invest in a carry you like piloting, and surround them with supports that multiply their best moments.
