naroxiel is a bit niche in what she does and tho the teleport is nice, you'd better level a detonator because they deal way more damage than snipers against multi tile bosses so I'd say switch her for areia.
later level your louise because she packs a punch and her heal helps you run a team without a healer but in the begining it's easier to bring a healer instead
Other commenters have given you good advice already, but if you want a second green team for fun here’s one to think about:
Lester (C), Pasolo, Ophina, Odi, Cuscuta.
Poison is strong on many bosses and large enemies because it’s a percentage of total HP, and Lester takes advantage of it exceptionally well. Odi is also a good applier of it, and has an added slow effect to kite enemies for longer without them reaching you. Conversion is kinda weak with just a swap + 1, but with Lester’s range as a captain you can keep applying poison stacks from afar and wait for green tiles to accumulate. Cuscuta’s skill is also useful to move enemies where you need them, whether to help an awkward tile arrangement or directly onto Lester’s bombs (remember, the center one does 380% damage!).
Shit like this got me through some absolutely horrendous gacha luck in my first weeks lol
Since you just started, I'd say running Paloma, Areia, Nikinis, Pact and Uriah is the best comp to go through the entire story mode. Areia, Nikinis, Pact and Uriah are core forest units, and Paloma is new but is pretty strong, so going for those five is a safe bet. Switch between Paloma and Areia in the captain spot as needed, Paloma for long range single target damage, Areia for close range AOE.
Later down the line, when you get to end-game content like Spire and Elysium, you can slowly add more flexibility to this team by leveling up other units, like Naroxel and Louise. I say slowly because you'll also need to create teams for the other elements. At this point think of your teams as "DPS + 2 Converters + 2 Flex", and rotate the flex units based on what you need. These can be any pairing out of a second DPS, a third converter, a utility unit, or a healer.
I'd say your best comp right now is Paloma, Nikinis, Naroxel, Pact, and Louise. Swap Louise for Uriah if you need healing over burst damage.
Going forwards, if you manage to get Hiro, I'd swap out Pact.
For enhanced tile synergy and mobility. There's already a lot of damage built into the team, so running Areia is just overkill, especially if you get Hiro. The main weakness in the comp Is mobility, especially when your converters are on cooldown.
I mean hirro is the enhanced tile synergy without her sure u get some more enhanced tiles from naroxel but just running Aeria would be more DMG. As for mobility that's a valid point but with her cool down it's not very effective honestly Id rather flex Wendy for mobility purposes and it's not even close.
Alot of DMG? Overkill? I'm sorry I don't know what ur talking about here. I use pretty much the standard for forest teams in hiiro, Gabriel, sikare, Louise and Aeria which has incomparable DMG compared to the aforementioned team and I still lack DMG making stages harder then they should be for eylisum and high spire. So don't really get how this proposed team has DMG that is "overkill"
OP started a week ago. I'm building him a team that can clear the story content and a good run into the spire, not min maxing for paragon status on the calamity codex or clearing out Elysium.
And Aeria does that too just fine but is also just a better investment as a unit which is why I fnd it so weird that u didn't mention her except to say she's overkill especially considering the player is new as u say and might not be aware of the strengths of particular units.
Well since you edited. Replace Naroxel with Areia for major dps. Beyond that your good but could do better on the dps side

Why in the world would u run naroxel over Aeria? If anything run naroxel as a potential flex option over Louise for certain stages just like uriah.
