Offensive Teams

Immune Damage

Focus: Immunity and Damage

This is a very counter lineup to the actual Meta. Tenma can get many buffs if links to Seraphina or Youma, so we may be dealing a lot of damage in second round. Thanatos can explote with enemy attacks and Youma deal the damage. The Support comes from Hasgard and Seraphina. Shura DC? If he is not under control, it will finish the bussiness.

Late Damage

Focus: Speed and HP

This is more a mixed take. Persefone debuffs the enemy HP every turn and Thanatos will do the damage. Odysseus keeps the team alive. While Cancer Deathmask makes the counter attacks and Underworld Marshal Pandora holds the team. In this lineup we don't need to be so fast, just survive the first rounds and let the damage come.

Defensive Teams

Control Teams

Ice and Fire

Focus: Speed and Status Hit

Complete enemy lockdown with blind and freezes. This one will make people hate you. Apollo needs to be really fast, while the Ice Boys make their work. The damage could come from Athena Sapuri EX or any other DPS with pasive attacks or low energy consumption. Just be careful of Thanatos.

Hidden Control

Focus: Speed and Status Hit

Here we have some control over the energy consumption. Virgo Asmita and Hakurei, they both can limit the energy use for the opposite team. Phantasos provides boost and sleep con the enemy while Oneiros blocks damage. Oneiros and Hakurei are also our main damage dealers while Underworld Shun provides some sustain and Heal. Cancer Sage is here to control in the long run and provide resurrection if needed.

Agressive Control

Focus: Speed and Status Hit

Here we use Saint with control and damage. Athena gives us the energy while Sasha the speed and support. The key is to use Virgo Shaka and make him activates his passive attacks so we can control all the field and silence the opposite team. If there is any enemy saint who attacks with the basic, Aspros can confuse them. Rhadamanthys is here to make extra damage to controlled units. Partita can protect Shaka and reflect damage.

Combos

Youma Combo

Focus: Speed, Debuff and Damage

Strong combo with fast Defteros and Youma. The key is to be fast enough to accelerate Yoma and use his DPS ability and kill everything, or at least the most. The rest units provide support and more damage if we can't finish the match in the first round.

Special Teams

Bleed Team

Focus: Bleed stacks

The bleed team has many saints, but everything is based on Surplice Capricorn Shura double turn given to 3 allies with bleed. Sadly, we can't make a full lineup of bleed saints without sustain, and until Cardinale Pisces comes to the game, we should use Seraphina or other support. Albafica could join this lineup too.

Meow Meow Team

Focus: Crit and Damage

This is a fun lineup using Leo Regulus, one of the most beloved saints in the game. The unit is good, a solid DPS, but he needs to ban some enemy saints and have a good support. This lineup focus on boosting Regulus damage with buffs, crit rate and extra turns.

PvE Teams

General DPS PvE

Focus: Shura Divine Cloth Damage

Shura Divine Cloth is the best option for PvE content, this lineup focus on high damage output with damage amplified by Seiya Bronce Saint. Aiolos Divine Cloth gives an extra turn to Seiya, while Luna gives other turn to Seiya. After the debuff on the boss, Artemis gives an extra turn to Shura to destroy things. The other unit can provide support or debuff the boss.

Extreme Damage

Focus: Shura Divine Cloth Damage

Similar to other PvE lineups, we need to make damage with Shura Divine Cloth, but, this time it comes with a friend in Regulus Leo. The key to this lineup is the use of Guilty, who can boost the damage we can make, sacrificing an ally. And get some passive boost damage from Underworld Marshal Pandora.

Multiple Damage

Focus: Shura Divine Cloth Damage and Ikki Debuffs

Another interesting PvE lineup. This one is focused on maximizing damage through multiple defensive debuffs from Phoenix Ikki. As always, Shura DC as main damage dealer, Aiolos DC to give extra turn, Marshal Pandora as buffer and Rhadamanthys and Hakurei as sub DPS.

New Players

Cheap team under lvl 35

Focus: Low investment

This is a very easy lineup to get when you are new to the game. The key is to have a balanced team with good synergy, Violatte is an AoE DPS with 0 energy cost, works nice with Luna, if we attack 2 times in first round, the enemies will get a mark which buffs Aiolia Leo, so the gold saint can make the top damage. Ikki provides energy for Shura. Hecate is a good healer with anti death.

About Team Compositions

These lineups can vary greatly in terms of characters, but it is important to understand the roles that each one plays. However, in Saint Seiya Awakening, many characters have unique abilities, so it can be difficult to replace them, especially those in the SS or EX categories.

Remember that team effectiveness can vary based on your Cosmos setup and character development. Use these as starting points and adapt them to your playstyle.
