I didn’t know what to make of Aetherium Wars when it was first introduced. I thought it was going to be some card game likeGenshin Impact’s Genius Invokation. Fortunately (or unfortunately for some), we have Aetherium Wars—an event that features battling using mobs you’ve defeated throughout your journey in Honkai: Star Rail so far. Here are the best Aetherium Wars team comps you’re able to use to struggle your way into the Championships.

Best Aether Spirits to use in Aetherium Wars - Honkai Star Rail

If you haven’t reached the point where you’ve recruited all of the Aether Spirits above, I’ll provide placeholders until you do! There’s a Humanoid spirit called Vagrant, for example, which you can only get in the fourth area. However, it’s an indispensable member in all my teams.

Best team comps to use in HSR Aetherium Wars

Aetherium Wars is actually pretty tough—and this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys the difficulty of Honkai: Star Rail (thank you,Swarm Disaster). I’ve experimented with a lot of ridiculous builds to defeat equally ridiculous teams, so I’ll share my best ones with you!

By the way, to get certainExpansion Chips, be sure you’re defeating theChallengersin all areasplustheHyperlink Matchesto get them.

Best Aberrant Team

My Aberrant team is actually my favorite. I call it the “Blaze Out Of Space nuke.” The goal is to beef up Blaze Out Of Space with specific Expansion Chips and bump it up the turn order with Vagrant. Silvermane Cannoneer is there to provide follow-up attacks whenever Blaze Out Of Space attacks the enemy.

With High Load-Low Speed and Threshold Disruption, your Blaze Out Of Space should be able to nuke non-Overlord enemies with its Ultimate. If they don’t die in one hit, it’ll take one Ult and one skill. Use Cannoneer and Vagrant to provide it with more opportunities to attack.

Best Humanoid Team

My Humanoid team is probably the most straightforward to build and the easiest to work with. It involves getting your Silvermane Lieutenant to carry all the damage dealing for you, with Silvermane Cannoneer as your sub-DPS. As long as shields are up and healers are about, you should have a drawn-out battle you can win.

If you’re up against a unit that’s buffed, with Cleansing, just throw this team at it and watch their formation break. Aside from Mechanical enemy teams, this one is good against Humanoid teams as well! Its strategy is attrition, after all.

Best Mechanical Team

I completely cackled when I made this team (and you’ll see why in a bit). It’s probably my most unconventional one—though I can guarantee its usability. It involves getting your Aurumaton Gatekeeper to summon a dozen Dragonfishes with its Ultimate and kill the enemy with stacks of DoT.

Are you seeing the picture now? Unless RNG mucks you up, it should only be Obedient Dracolion that gets attacked. It’s a spirit that can resist a fatal attack “one” time. However, Obedient Dracolion’s Ultimate reset that Talent counters. Essentially, it’s a wall that never dies. If RNG mucks you up, Aurumaton Gatekeeper has Attack Interception—a chip that will let it survive one attack.

The turn order should 100% look like this:

It’s a bit elaborate, but it works. I haven’t built a Mechanical team I liked more than this. It’s fun!

All three of these teams allowed me to clear all challenges in Aetherium Wars at the current max Equilibrium level/difficulty. Hopefully, they’ll be a big help on your Championship journey as well.
