How would the game change if you could always have a 5 characters team?

We know a 5 characters team is something that the game can handle, in a lot of story quests we are able to get a 5th party member with no problems, I don't remember if we ever get them in the overworld or it's a domain only thing

but still the fact that this happens means that the game does support a more than 4 characters party, and now I wonder how much would the game change if we could always have 5 characters?

Overworld exploration would of course be a lot better but would combat really change that much?

Lunar reactions would probably be even stronger considering if I'm not mistaken they base their damage on all of the stats of the characters in your party, the hexarei buff would probably be pretty easy to trigger for almost any party (sucrose is basically a good universal support already) and dendro would probably have an easier time with hyperbloom and fridge teams

but I feel like for teams like vaporize or other similar reactions thing wouldn't change much

i think balancing would be a lot harder since they tend to keep in mind how many buffs a certain character can have via other characters. I’d assume enemy HP would scale pretty high.

Devs will keep the HP the same, and halve the time allowed to clear the content.

NLiLox2026-01-08 00:00

theyd half the time and double the hp lmao

I think this would be a rich-get-richer situation, a lot of the best comps would just sky rocket in viability while more niche cases would struggle to keep up. Skirk now gets Furina, Esco, Citlali, and Shenhe all on the same team at once. Mavuika gets to have Citlali, Xilonen, Bennett, and Iansan all at once. Nefer now has Ineffa, Lauma, Columbina, and Yelan/XQ. I don't even know if these would be the best ways to use a 5 slot team, but you get my point.

CryoStrange2026-01-07 07:51

Why would you be using 5 cryo/hydro, just put bennet instead of shenhe or citali. Skirk will have 170% multiplier and 55 res shred anyway.

Aegillade2026-01-07 07:57

I don't have Skirk, I just know she wants only Cryo and Hydro

Ke5_Jun2026-01-07 08:10

The only thing you really lose if your 5th party member isn’t hydro/cryo in a Skirk team is her ability to increase the party’s skill talent level by 1. The addition of an ATK buffer would probably offset this dmg loss.

The real reason Skirk is locked to hydro/cryo is Escoffier; her talent wants 4 hydro/cryo members to get 55% RES shred. However, Escoffier’s talent doesn’t actually say that **all** party members must be these two elements, unlike Nilou or Chevreuse for example. So your 5th member can be a different element.

Orpalz2026-01-08 00:00

Yeah Bennet would absolutely skyrocket her numbers here since she’s so low on attack already

Furina_Simp_692026-01-07 07:19

So now you have to roll 5 characters to form a team instead of 4. Terrible idea from the increased roll demand perspective, and even worse from a game balancing perspective.

choco_iguana2026-01-07 07:25

i'd assume the game would become less f2p friendly, if not then more grindy, because of spiral abyss, stygian and IT. I don't even have enough built characters for 3 strong teams in stygian, and a number of my teams share supports. Idk i don't think it will turn out well

NeuSkryb2026-01-07 07:26

Probably overall not good. But having a temporary event where you could have 5 characters on a team would be cool.

The_Great_Ravioli2026-01-07 07:54

It is not as useful as you would think.

Due to how particles work, ER requirements would go up across the board because particles give less energy per character.

Rotations will also end up being longer than they should be, which would just not work in some comps.

The only ways to make it work is if you use the fact you have another character to trigger effects, such as Lunar or elemental resonance effect. You can also use someone like Chiori who can ignore character switch cooldown and or takes microscopic field time which wont hurt rotations as bad.

NLiLox2026-01-08 00:03

>ER requirements would go up across the board because particles give less energy per character.

is that true? so if you have a single character in the party they get their burst faster?

PidoveEnjoyer2026-01-07 08:02

Skirk and Mavuika would be even stronger than they are

SirSpleenter2026-01-07 08:41

not unless they buff the duration of their teammate's buffs

Ke5_Jun2026-01-07 08:16

The only way I could see a 5th party member being balanced would be if they were only allowed to contribute via resonances.

So you couldn’t swap them in, couldn’t use any of their skills. They’d only count for like pyro resonance for 25% ATK for example, or count as a Hex character for resonance. It would also make Ascendant Gleam a lot more f2p friendly as you could just put Aino/Jahoda/Illuga as your 5th slot just to fulfill the 2 NK member requirement.

ramsdit2026-01-07 08:17

Imaginarium theatre would now require around 34 to 40 characters for lunar mode to account for the increased team size. I’m doomed.

Chance-Maximum-59952026-01-07 08:40

Bigger numbers

SHTPST_Tianquan2026-01-07 09:21

rotations would be insanely cumbersome. Whenever playing 5-character team segments in the story, things get very crowded.

Saiyeh2026-01-07 23:33

This needs more up votes. Most character buffs or off field damage wouldn't even last long enough to be majorly beneficial to having them on the team, you'd get partial benefit at best by the time you cycle to your main dps.

OutsideIntropid17642026-01-07 09:51

Mav would be more fucking broken without sacrificing Xilo or Iansan and Nod-Krai DPses will actually have sustain.

But most importantly, it'll make for some interesting team combinations.

nomotyed2026-01-07 11:45

I rather not. Its a mess with my fingers in 5 person teams.

Also with how short rotations are (16-20sec) you might not even get to do full setups with one of them.

Unless you extend rotations or cut an onfield's time short.

Some buffs might not last long enough after swapping more characters and doing more setups.

sesami662026-01-07 15:15

It'd be neat to have it as a passive talent for MC, so that only teams with MC can have 5 characters

OmniOnly2026-01-07 15:35

Wheelchairs everywhere.

NLiLox2026-01-08 00:01

the humble theatre that forces you to have a full party for each fight:

bpmackow2026-01-08 05:25

The main problem I have is that on a controller, switching to the fifth slot uses a completely different button combo and it throws me off. Maybe if it was permanent, I'd get used to it, but IDK.
