Notes

Alocasia can help him stack his EVA-related skills more quickly, but this only applies if your EVA is increased enough to allow you to dodge enemy attacks.
El can help with survivability a little bit, but it's not that great.
Bari is ok just to protect him from random bursts and give him back some HP%.
Bergamot is also a decent option, especially if you are playing at an ACC deficit.

Unit Synergies

Yirang Yeon

Great Family

Inieta often pushes enemies away, so having a reliable grouper is a nice addition.

Alphine

Shadow Girl

Alphine groups a little bit, but most importantly, she provides a useful ACC decrease on the enemies and extra Survivability.

Ha Yura

FUG Executive

Ha Yura can help Inieta to keep a good uptime on his Active Skill buffs, while also boosting his Damage and Survivability.

Hockney

Future Sight

Hockney's EVA buff can help a lot if you are in the latest stages of Hard Mode and the enemy ACC is insanely high. (Cherry also provides a similar buff)

Hwaryun

Red-Haired Witch

Hwaryun has a great synergy thanks to her guaranteed evasion, it obviously only works against enemies that cannot remove her buffs.

Basic Teams

These are just example teams and are by no means the best possible combinations. We avoid using units that are not easily obtainable or common.

Mono-Color Team

Khun

Flame of Yeon

Arie Inieta

Genius Swordsman

Ha Yura

FUG Executive

Anna

Soul Guardian

Ha Yura

Idol

This team lacks in grouping, but the overall support lineup is solid enough to make him a reliable carry.

Multi-Color Team

Yirang Yeon

Great Family

Bam

Black March

Arie Inieta

Genius Swordsman

Hwaryun

Red-Haired Witch

Evan

Fast Ship

This team is pretty simple, Yirang groups enemies, Hwaryun helps with survivability, with Evan to cover for buff removal enemies, and Bam is just allowing the team to spam their Special Moves a bit more.
If the damage is not enough, Bam can be replaced with a sub-dps unit.

If your ACC is lower than the enemy EVA, a Slot 1 upgrade might be needed if you care about whether this unit hits or not.
If upgrading Slot 3 can get your EVA to be higher than the enemy ACC, upgrading Slot 3 could be worth it.
If your Deficit is higher than 300 / 350, Slot 4 Resistances are pretty much ineffective and can be left to +0.
The flat ATK, DEF and HP stats are useless.

Recommended Substats:

Notes:

For Slot 4 both Effect Hit and Effect Res are valid options, I just prefer Effect Hit because of the amount of debuffs he has.
ACC and EVA are good substats for him.
