Genshin Best Teams 7.2: Stellar, Lunar and F2P Comps

The best teams in Genshin Impact 7.2 are built around the newest reactions: Stellar-Conduct (Mitya or Sandrone), Stellar Swirl (Vesna), and the three Lunar reactions led by Flins, Nefer and Zibai. Older cores like Mavuika Vaporize or Melt and Skirk Freeze still clear endgame. Every new reaction team needs an enabler, so the first step is checking you have one. This guide lists ten team comps with each slot's job, swap options, free-to-play versions, and which teams fit the 7.2 Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater.

Checked against HoYoverse's Version 7.2 Update Details and the Genshin Impact Wiki's reaction, Moonsign and character pages on November 12, 2026.

Reaction rules and character kits below come from official patch text and the wiki. The team lineups are editorial suggestions built from those rules and current community rankings (see the 7.2 tier list), not official recommendations. Exact rotations depend on constellations and gear.

How do Stellar and Lunar teams work?

Both families replace an existing reaction with a stronger version, but only if the right character is in the party:

When Stellar-Conduct triggers, the area becomes a Polestar Field, and characters with Stellar kits inside it enter a Radiance state that strengthens their skills. For Lunar teams, two Moonsign characters raise the party to Ascendant Gleam, which unlocks stronger Moonsign talents and lets any non-Moonsign teammate add up to 36% Lunar Reaction DMG for 20 seconds after their Skill or Burst. That buff scales with ATK for Pyro, Electro and Cryo, Max HP for Hydro, DEF for Geo and Elemental Mastery for Anemo and Dendro.

What are the best Stellar-Conduct teams?

Stellar-Conduct needs Cryo and Electro plus an enabler. These are the two strongest shells:

Mitya turns every Stellar-Conduct reaction into a Gradient Beacon that follows the active character and widens the Polestar Field, then spends Beacons for extra Stellar-Conduct damage. Sandrone enables Stellar-Conduct herself, so she can also fill the Cryo slot of a Mitya team. Give one off-field member the Heart of the Furnace 4-piece: it raises Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG for the whole party by 50% and works off-field. These teams fit the November 16 Spiral Abyss, whose blessing rewards Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct, and Floor 11's +60% Electro DMG.

What is the best Vesna Stellar Swirl team?

Run Vesna, a Cryo Stellar Jubilee enabler (Odette, Sandrone or Cryo Traveler), a second Cryo applier, and a healer or shielder. Vesna converts Cryo Swirl into Stellar Swirl and increases its base damage with her ATK. She enters Radiance: Stellar Swirl for 8 seconds after a party member triggers it, and her stats adapt to her teammates. This team is the pick for the December 16 Spiral Abyss, where Floor 12's first half gives Stellar Glimmer DMG +75%, the second half gives the active character +75% Anemo DMG, and the blessing rewards Stellar Swirl.

What are the best Lunar teams in 7.2?

Each Lunar team wants two Moonsign characters for Ascendant Gleam. Columbina is the most flexible piece because she converts all three reactions.

For the Lunar-Charged team, the High Voltage resonance (two Electro characters) also generates an Electro particle on Lunar-Charged reactions. Silken Moon's Serenade (4-piece) gives the party Elemental Mastery and Lunar Reaction DMG and works off-field, which makes it a good set for a Moonsign support.

Which older teams are still strong?

Three pre-Snezhnaya cores remain top choices:

• Mavuika Melt: Mavuika, Citlali, Xilonen and Bennett. Mavuika ranks SS, is strong in both Melt and Vaporize, and flexes between on-field and quick-swap play, and Citlali and Xilonen are Natlan characters, which speeds up Nightsoul Bursts (every 9 seconds with three or more Natlan members).
• Skirk Freeze: Skirk with Escoffier and Hydro or Cryo supports such as Furina or Citlali. Skirk is very strong in her best Freeze teams and weaker outside them.
• Varka Hexerei: Varka with at least one more Hexerei character, such as Venti, Fischl or Sucrose. Two Hexerei members activate Hexerei: Secret Rite, which enables extra talent and constellation effects for those characters.

Which artifacts and weapons do these teams use?

The new reaction families come with their own sets. Their effects, from the wiki:

Two Gleaming Moon effects from different sets in the same Lunar team stack the party's Lunar Reaction DMG bonus (+10% per different effect), so split Night of the Sky's Unveiling and Silken Moon's Serenade across two members.

What are the best free-to-play teams in 7.2?

Two strong shells use only free and 4-star characters:

Aino, a 4-star Hydro Moonsign character, is the free-to-play Hydro partner for Flins and a Lunar-Bloom piece next to Nefer and Lauma. The Grand Defense event in 7.2 lets you invite one 4-star of your choice for free; details are in the Genshin 7.2 version guide.

How do you build a team around the character you have?

1. Find the reaction. Check which reaction your main character's kit is built around (Stellar-Conduct, Stellar Swirl, a Lunar reaction, or a classic one such as Melt).
2. Add the enabler. New reactions do nothing without a Stellar Jubilee or Moonsign Benediction character. If you lack one, the Cryo Traveler covers Stellar reactions for free.
3. Reach Ascendant Gleam for Lunar teams. Two Moonsign characters unlock it; Aino and Illuga are 4-star options.
4. Fill the last slot with survival. A healer or shielder (Valeriy for Electro teams, Bennett for Pyro) keeps rotations clean in Spiral Abyss.
