6. Team Compositions: Hiyuki Premium Glacio Team

Premium Meta Team

Hiyuki + Lucilla + The Shorekeeper / Verina

• Hiyuki: Main Glacio DPS, the centerpiece of the Frostgrad system, responsible for massive on-field burst windows.
• Lucilla: Glacio Support/Sub-DPS, handles off-field Glacio application and provides substantial Glacio DMG buffs, completing the Frostgrad puzzle.
• The Shorekeeper / Verina: Healer/Buffer. The Shorekeeper delivers prolonged buffs and invaluable Crit Rate amplification, while Verina functions as a highly reliable universal team-wide DMG buffer.

This is Lucilla's absolute best team composition. Her off-field setup and Glacio amplification synergize flawlessly with Hiyuki's primary damage output, making even an S0 Lucilla highly effective. Currently, this team boasts the highest performance ceiling within the Frostgrad system, offering seamless shield/healing uptime and incredible Vibra Armor depletion—making it ideal for challenging endgame content like the Tower of Adversity.

Summary & Pulling Advice

1. Pulling Advice: Players who already own Hiyuki should absolutely secure at least an S0 Lucilla. If you want to push the team's ceiling to the absolute limit, aiming for her S2 power spike is highly recommended. Pulling her without owning Hiyuki is generally discouraged due to her specialized niche within Frostgrad setups. Her signature weapon holds higher priority than her early Resonance Chains; thus, an S0+R1 setup offers the highest value. If you need extra Astrite or Lunites to secure this perfect setup, utilizing a reliable platform for a wuwa top up is an excellent way to fast-track your team's completion.
2. Forte Upgrades: Level 90 > Core Fortes 8/8/10 > Resonance Efficiency to 120% > Farm Whisper of the Falling Snow Echoes with double Crit lines.
3. Final Verdict: Lucilla stands as the definitive, irreplaceable core support for the Frostgrad system. At S0, her entire supportive toolkit—including Res. Shred, team DMG buffs, and Frostgrad application—is fully unlocked. Her S2 introduces a massive boost to her personal off-field damage. Balancing stellar support utility with sub-DPS capabilities, she is easily one of the most valuable system-defining units to invest in for the 3.4 patch.
