Is the strongest lineup for common players in Shanhai Zhi Jian a topic that many new players are discussing together? As a strategy card mobile game themed around the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the configuration of characters in a team is quite important, having a significant impact on the battle, and sometimes even directly affecting the outcome of the fight. A reasonable and powerful team setup can also make everyone's battles much easier. Next, I will share with you some useful and powerful lineups.

I. Houyi Team
Houyi + Ying Zheng + Dragon Girl + Pixiu
The Houyi team is currently one of the most suitable for common players. This lineup takes Houyi as the core damage dealer. The advantage of this setup lies in its fixed-damage mechanism, which is not affected by attribute constraints, allowing for stable output during battles. It becomes even stronger if upgraded to 5 stars, gaining the 3rd skill of Heavenly Fate, which, when combined with ally flanking, can deal very frequent basic attacks, making the damage more stable. For common players, upgrading to 7 stars is already very stable; 9 stars are not necessary.

The teammate who forms the "flank" with him is very important. First is Ying Zheng, who, at 5 stars plus the 3rd Heavenly Fate, can provide stable flanking. His skills are relatively simple and do not require extra investment. Dragon Girl only needs to be 3 stars initially to meet the requirements, helping to trigger the flank by controlling the enemy's positioning. After reaching 5 stars, her energy burden is reduced, significantly improving the feel, and she has a 0-cost, no-CD ultimate, making her an excellent support role. Seven stars can also be a goal for further cultivation.

Pixiu is a very strong purple card, capable of reaching Heavenly Rank 4 or 5 with the initial skill books provided, making it very useful and easy to obtain. Although Jiang Ziya does not stand out early on, his effect in boss fights becomes noticeable after reaching higher stars, though it requires a bit more investment. Meng Po is also a flanking character but can be cultivated later. The selection of Meng Po depends on the situation; if one of the three flanks is missing, choose her. Finally, pair with a healer with stable healing, and you will have an efficient, fixed-damage output lineup, suitable for most PVE scenarios, and with relatively low cultivation costs.

II. Jinwu Team
Jinwu + Hanba + Fox + Dragon Girl/Ying Zheng + Xi Shi
This Jinwu lineup is a mainstream combination in late-game PVE. Its damage output is based on igniting the "burn" status, creating a high-burst effect. Jinwu's mechanism involves applying burn to enemies through basic attacks, then triggering "Flowing Light" to ignite. This mechanism works well with Hanba, achieving multiple effects such as "weakening, burning, and igniting." Its advantage is a certain self-acceleration effect, combined with the flanking mechanism, making it usable at 3 stars, with better results at 5 stars, including energy reduction.

This system does have some flaws. Applying burn is not 100% guaranteed, and if faced with a team with attribute advantages, a failed burn can break the ignition chain, significantly reducing damage. It also heavily relies on Hanba's weakening and igniting mechanism, making teammate coordination crucial. When the stats are insufficient, the chance of mistakes increases, and in PVP, where enemies have high evasion, it can be challenging.
Therefore, in the team, Hanba is the key role. "Weakening" cannot be dispelled or resisted, significantly lowering the enemy's attack and evasion, making it the core support of this system. Fox, after 7 stars, can provide stable burning, acting as a necessary "lighter." Choose either Dragon Girl or Ying Zheng, both offering good compatibility as flanking supports. Xi Shi is the core role for adding negative effects, providing extra turns and energy reduction, which is crucial for clearing higher levels with this lineup later on.

III. Balanced Team
Shan Gui + Zhu Que + Bai Hu + Kun Peng + Xuan Wu
This lineup is characterized by its balanced offense and defense, suitable for prolonged battles. In the team, Zhu Que and Bai Hu are the main damage dealers, combining area-of-effect and counter-attack to continuously suppress the enemy. Shan Gui mainly handles purification, ensuring the team's output environment while preventing enemy buffs. Kun Peng and Xuan Wu primarily serve as auxiliary control, protecting the safety of allies.

These are the recommended strongest lineups for common players in Shanhai Zhi Jian. These teams are suitable choices for common players, each fitting different combat environments. They don't require as many resources, so common players can confidently build and cultivate them, with very nice battle effects.
