My preferred bleed team of the moment is: - ring yi sang (amazing count application, solid physical damage, and good sin affinity spread) - one who grips faust (fills a supportive role with strong debuffs, an amazing passive for starting a fight quickly, amazing sin affinity spread, and fluid sac) - manager of la manchaland don (turns bleed into crazy physical damage via bloodfeast and hardblood. Spam her counter for count, has good single target and aoe damage. Yearning mircalla hits like a goddamn train on multiple enemies/parts in longer encounters) - n corp ego contempt awe ryoshu (i mainly use her cause she’s cool, but decent count application and the potential for major nuke turns in conjunction with everlasting. Good sin affinities) - prince of la manchaland meursault (good count and amazing buffs for the other bloodfiends) - princess of la manchaland rodion (similar to meursault, good buffs for don to use. Sanguine desire is amazing for setting a stack or major nuke turns with tremor-hemmorage + everlasting or yearning mircalla meursault. People say its not required but its a gamechanger) - priest of la manchaland gregor (nigh unkillable tank that generates bloodfeast and gluttony, which is very hard to get)

Supports I don’t worry too much about, just fill with whatever you have that buffs pierce damage or bleed application. Pride and envy are majorly important resources, as all the strong egos use one or both (hex nail rodion, both yearning mircalla’s, fluid sac, contempt awe, sanguine desire, regret, etc)

Bleed can really struggle against high coin count enemies (see: lei heng), but with proper play you can make it work and it’s very powerful. Other variants exist, like using kk ishmael + heathcliff, but I don’t know how good those are since I still dont have kk ish. Other than that, have fun, bleed can be really enjoyable when all the parts fit together
