- Zek — Nyrada's Dark Mercy heals the team whenever Dark Explodes, and Dark Overflow adds extra Dark plus bonus Shadow damage on the explosion, so she sustains and amplifies Zek's Dark-bomb core. [16][15][13]
- Bernard — Bernard's poison lowers enemy Dark/Shadow resistance, letting a Dark/Shadow-focused Nyrada keep landing her explosions and shadow finishers. [10]
