Team Building Guide for 7DS: Origins | Best Heroes for Each SSR

Team building in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin revolves heavily around elemental synergy, and getting it right from the start makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly you clear content. Each SSR character has multiple weapon options that change their role entirely, so knowing which build to run and which characters to pair them with is just as important as pulling them in the first place.

In this guide, I will break down the best team compositions for each SSR so you can build around whoever you have and stop leaving damage on the table.

Best Teams For All SSR Characters

Currently, there are a total of 8 SSR characters available in the game, and I will be providing a couple of team compositions built around each of them. The core principle behind all of these compositions is elemental synergy, specifically building teams that can charge the Elemental Burst gauge on enemies as quickly as possible. The Elemental Burst is one of the most powerful mechanics in the game, granting various benefits depending on the element triggered, such as increased damage, barriers, and more.

Having at least three characters of the same element in your team is the key to charging the gauge efficiently, which then allows your main DPS to come in and absolutely devastate the enemy while the burst is active.
