Recommended Team Compositions
Your team in Arcana Historia consists of 3 heroes (one per class is recommended), 1 active pet, and 2+ bench pets. Here are the optimal team setups.
F2P Meta Team (Best Overall)
| Slot | Hero | Build | Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tank | Warrior — Taunt ( Marshal) |
Taunt Build |  Rock Dragon (★4) |
| DPS | Archer — Poison Arrow (Shadow Lurker) | Poison Build |  Forest Queen (★4) |
| Healer | Mage — Heal (Bishop) | Healer Build |  Boar King (★4) |
Pet Setup:
| Slot | Pet | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Active | 小蝙蝠 (Bat) | Team heal on auto-attack |
| Bench 1 |  迅猛龙 ( Raptor) |
+25→55% ATK Speed for team |
| Bench 2 | 洞穴蜘蛛 (Cave Spider) | -15→45% enemy Poison Resist |
Why this works:
- Taunt Warrior holds aggro → enemies ignore your DPS and healer
- Poison Archer melts everything with DoT (bypasses DEF)
- Healer keeps Warrior alive; Boar King boosts CDR and skill DMG
- Cave Spider + Poison Archer = enemies have negative poison resist
- Raptor ATK speed benefits all three heroes

Team Building Principles
- Always have a tank — Someone needs to take hits
- Always have a healer — Sustain > burst for Abyss progression
- DPS can flex — Pick based on available cards and pets
- Bench pets are team-wide — Choose passives that benefit all 3 heroes
- Card synergies matter more than raw quality — A ★3 card that matches your build beats a ★4 that doesn't
