• Premium Team: Starlight Billy + Dialyn + Lucia
• Alternate Team: Starlight Billy + Zhao + Astra Yao
• F2P Team: Starlight Billy + Nicole + Pan Yinhu

Premium Team: Starlight Billy + Dialyn + Lucia

Dialyn is the standout partner here. She extends stun duration—critical for Billy’s long skill animations—and converts Chain Attacks into Ultimates, giving him more frequent damage spikes. Her universal DMG buff rounds out her role as a hybrid stunner/damage dealer/support.

Lucia is the best support for Rupture characters; her kit directly amplifies Billy’s Sheer Force and survivability. If you lack Dialyn, alternatives like Ju Fufu (stun/buffer), Trigger (off-field stun), or Qingyi (high daze multiplier) can work, though Qingyi demands more field time which can cut into Billy’s uptime.

Alternate Team: Starlight Billy + Zhao + Astra Yao

This semi-F2P option uses Zhao (free from story) and Astra Yao (a top universal support many players already own). While Rupture DPS scale primarily on HP, the ATK buff from Astra Yao still converts to Sheer Force, so it’s not wasted. Astra Yao can equip Astral Voice Drive Discs, and Zhao can use Bunny in Wonderland, both boosting Billy’s damage.

Both Zhao and Astra Yao bring healing, adding safety. Zhao provides DMG bonus and minor HP/ATK boosts. This comp is more accessible than the premium setup while still delivering strong synergy.

F2P Team: Starlight Billy + Nicole + Pan Yinhu

Nicole offers excellent DEF shred, increasing Billy’s effective damage against stunned enemies. Pan Yinhu is an A-Rank Defense agent who can hold Bunny in Wonderland and trigger additional procs. Alternatively, swap Pan Yinhu for Zhao if you prefer a more offensive off-field option.

Other budget substitutes for Pan Yinhu include Pulchra, Koleda, or Anby. While not as optimal, they provide stun support that still enables Billy’s burst windows.

Should You Build Starlight Billy?

Starlight Billy is a strong Rupture DPS with clear team requirements. If you have Dialyn and Lucia, he can rival top-tier compositions. For F2P players, the Nicole + Pan Yinhu core is functional but may struggle against high-end content. Consider your roster: if you already have invested supports like Astra Yao and Zhao, the alternate team is a cost-effective upgrade. Billy himself is a budget-friendly choice for Rupture teams.

Takeaway

Starlight Billy rewards focused team building. Prioritize stunners who extend stun duration (like Dialyn or Ju Fufu) and supports who amplify Rupture damage (Lucia, Nicole, Astra Yao). Even without premium agents, F2P options can clear most content, though you’ll see the biggest returns with the premium core.
