Weapons

For Expert, at a minimum, adventurers should be equipped with at least a max-unbound (MUB) 5 Chimeratech tier 2 (CT2) weapon; these weapons are in fact required before you're able to craft Agito weapons in the first place.

• Support adventurers such as and can get by with a MUB CT2 without issue.
• For DPS adventurers, while it is possible to clear with a CT2, it is highly suggested to use a MUB 5 High Dragon tier 2 (HD2) instead.
• The 6 0UB Agito weapon you may have crafted from first clear rewards after clearing the Standard difficulty, is in a similar boat to the CT2. AT 0UB, the 6 is only a marginal improvement to the MUB CT2, and it only surpasses the HD2 when the 6 itself is MUB. Therefore, DPS will still heavily prefer the MUB High Dragon Tier 2, until their 6 is MUB.

Dragons

Everyone should ideally be equipped with a max-unbound 5 Wind-attuned dragon for Expert. This includes even healers and supportive adventurers, due to the higher difficulty of the quest compared to Volk's Wrath: Expert and Kai Yan's Wrath: Expert.

Adventurers	Dragons
Standard DPS - Most DPS adventurers use these standard DPS dragons. Hawk signficantly prefers Vayu due to his exceedingly high skill damage totals, and most other adventurers prefer Vayu anyway under most circumstances. Ariel can assist with skill uptime or make certain strategies easier to execute, and is practically equivalent to Vayu for Gala Leif, though otherwise she technically is a bit inferior than Vayu for most DPS adventurers. AC-011 Garland can provide extremely high strength as long as the adventurer does not take any actual damage; s and s combined with high amounts of and buffs may help with meeting this.
Big Crits Kung Fu Master - Lin You can reach a critical rate high enough for Long Long to pull ahead of most other dragons, and hence Long Long becomes a highly suitable choice for Lin You. Other DPS dragons will still function just as well as they do on other adventurers, though.
Hybrid DPS - Sylas and Valentine's Melody want to have as much uptime on their buff/debuff/poison skills as possible, so Ariel is a perfect fit, though other DPS dragons will also work.
Support - These support adventurers have low personal DPS, so prefers having abilities. Freyja grants higher amounts of skill haste, and carries a potent skill that also instantly grants 5 stacks of , instantly energizing all teammates. She is ideal for Tobias, and is required for 4DPS runs anyway. Ariel increases damage output especially when in dragon form, and is ideal for Melody, Noelle, and Dragonyule Xainfried if someone else can heal significantly.
Healers - Healers will prefer to increase their healing output and buff uptime under most circumstances. Freyja provides the highest amount of , a ability, and carries a strong regen heal with her dragon skill, and is usually the best pick for healers. Garuda provides a higher amount of HP boost compared to Freyja, but provides no skill haste. She is ideal if you need a big heal over faster heals. Ariel provides slightly less skill haste, but grants instead of HP Up. She may be used in place of Freyja if you prefer having slightly more DPS without going off-element, or are playing in public co-op and need to meet might requirements, though your healing output burst/ticks will be lower than Freyja or Garuda. Also has a pretty good dragon form damage should you opt to use it. Pop-Star Siren's and buffs can be extremely strong if timed correctly, though your healing will also be at the weakest.
Auto Enabler Hope - Templar Hope is not a good choice for normal solo or co-op use (unless your other three teammates are all Louises), but he is required should you opt for clearing the quest in auto battle mode. Freyja provides the highest amount of and a ability, ensuring that Templar Hope can fire off defensive buffs as quickly as possible. Garuda provides a higher amount of HP boost compared to Freyja, but provides no skill haste. Templar Hope also benefits from her by becoming significantly tankier.
Off-element Grace - If using Grace for life shields, she really wants HP dragons above all else, so her choices are much more limited than standard healers.

Wyrmprints

Most adventurers should equip their standard wyrmprints.

Party Roles

DPS

These units will be doing the majority of the DPS. They can fill all 4 team slots, or fill 3 and leave the last slot for a healer.

• Don't bring more than two Patias in the whole composition, or more than two adventurers that inflict (preferably only 1 non-Patia bleeder, or two Patias at most).
• Due to the low difficulty of the quest, almost every adventurer, including off-element adventurers, will work for this quest. This lists only the more notable adventurers for the quest, known for their very high damage output or extremely strong supportive effects, with short descriptions.

Healer

The healer keeps the team alive and provides support.

Adventurer	Notes
	Lowen has low personal DPS, but has high healing output, can , provides Bog relief, and grants some defensive support with both and buffs.
	Grace provides a very large which can protect adventurers from being afflicted and blocks knockback while the shield is not completely destroyed. Her buff is much higher, at 100%, but also lasts significantly shorter than Lowen's, making it more suitable for mitigating severe damage. Also s.
	If Lowen is a defensive support healer, then Akasha is an offensive support healer. Although she is not an offensive healer in the sense of that is a disguised DPS, she instead has access to , which can significantly speed up skill cooldowns on other teammates when used strategically. She will appreciate having access to high amounts of , and pairs especially well with for even more effective SP gain. Cannot dispel innately.
	Wedding Xania is somewhat similar to Lowen, but instead of bog cleanse, she provides Freeze relief, and doesn't have access to buffs. Her SP costs are also markedly inferior to Lowen's or Akasha's (healing wise), though at least she has innate freeze resistance, and hence will never be disabled in Ciella's Wrath. Cannot dispel innately.

General Party Setup

There are two general variations of compositions in Ciella's Wrath: Expert. There are also two specialty compositions that have unusual requirements and not compatible with normal co-op.

General Composition
A sample standard 4DPS composition.
A sample standard 3DPS composition.

Specialty Composition
Defense doublebuff spam composition.
Auto battle composition. Templar Hope must be the leader. and may replace Louise safely, and can substitute Louise but reduces reliability. can replace Lowen.

Attacks and Patterns

On Vulnerability

is a special effect that behaves differently on adventurers or Ciella.

• On adventurers, Vulnerable will reduce defense by 15% for 90 seconds. This effect can be stacked up to 3 times at once.
• On Ciella, resistance to all afflictions will be reset to their base amounts.

Hence, it is crucial to mitigate the significant amounts of Vulnerability that Ciella inflicts upon adventurers by raising defenses where possible, and try to avoid getting hit unnecessarily.

On Freeze and Graphic Settings

Main article: Performance Guide#Graphic Settings

Some of Ciella's attacks inflict Freeze. On the Basic graphics setting, the ice block on frozen adventurers will not appear. Players using Basic graphics should pay attention to other teammates and/or the combat log and be prepared to attack seemingly stuck or unresponsive adventurers.
