TL;DR

Mongil: Star Dive is one of the most F2P-friendly launch gachas of its generation. Two Supporter slots (Bonnie / Wind + Francis / Earth) are FREE at launch with craftable signature artifacts. The 12 SR characters cover every elemental role gap (Brawler / Slayer / Destroyer / Supporter), and 8 of them have craftable SR signature artifacts + craftable Mountain Peak / Frenzied White Wolf / Green Nightmare / Devourer Stance 4pc sets that compete with SSR set 4pcs at ~70-85% efficiency.

The F2P team-comp framework: every elemental core needs a Carry (Brawler / Slayer / Destroyer SR) + a Supporter (Bonnie / Francis / Daisy) + optionally a second carry slot. Wind teams use Bonnie + Sangun (if pulled) + Francis. Fire teams use Verna + Leeho + Francis with Angel as bench DPS. Earth teams use Ellie + Francis + Daisy. Ice teams use Cloud + Sera + Francis. Lightning teams use Reina + Benjamin + Bonnie + Francis.

Pull-priority for F2P: nothing. Your launch SR roster + Bonnie + Francis is enough to clear every launch dungeon boss at recommended level (Custos / Amon / Avardan / Duoxini / Hahnul). The pull priority becomes 'opportunistic' rather than 'required' — pull when you see a banner you actually want, not because the meta forces you to.

  • Wind F2P coreSBonnie + Sangun + Francis is the most accessible F2P clear comp (Bonnie + Francis free, Sangun banner-gated but standard-pool obtainable). Or Bonnie-only with off-element carries.
  • Fire F2P coreAVerna + Leeho + Francis + Angel covers Hahnul slowly but reliably. The hardest F2P endgame ceiling — requires Equipment ~Lv60+.
  • Earth F2P coreSEllie + Francis + Daisy. Triple-Earth support coverage + Snacks bench DPS. Cleanest F2P element.
  • Lightning F2P coreAReina + Benjamin + Bonnie + Francis. Lightning Conquest tier 3+ requires C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin.
  • Ice F2P coreSCloud + Sera + Francis. Both Ice SRs have craftable signatures + craftable Green Nightmare 4pc bridge. Easiest F2P launch beginner comp.

F2P pros

  • Bonnie + Francis FREE at launch — Supporter slots solved without gacha.
  • 12 SR launch characters cover every Brawler / Slayer / Destroyer / Supporter role slot across all elements.
  • 8 of 12 SR have craftable signature artifacts (Tiger Hunter's Resolve, Hawk's Flight, Dreaming Adventurer, Forest Fragrance, Overflowing Love, Unrelenting Chivalry, Key for Locks, Sugar Spike, Shadow Lotus, Upright Sword of Fire, Military Band's Marcher).
  • Craftable SR 4pc sets (Devourer Stance Wind, Frenzied White Wolf Earth, Mountain Peak Majesty Fire, Green Nightmare Ice, Spirit King SR-bridge Lightning) compete with SSR sets at ~70-85% efficiency.
  • Every launch dungeon boss has a documented F2P clear comp — Custos / Amon / Avardan / Duoxini all F2P-clearable, Hahnul F2P-difficult but accessible.
  • Daily routine + Season Pass + login bonus + Conquest tickets accumulate ~60-100 pulls between major banner cycles — F2P upgrade path stays open.

F2P cons

  • F2P Lightning core requires C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin for endgame Conquest viability — dupe RNG-dependent.
  • F2P Fire core is the hardest F2P ceiling — Verna + Leeho + Angel + Francis clears Hahnul slowly (~6-7 minute fights).
  • Wind F2P comps need Bonnie + Sangun ideally — Sangun is banner-gated, so pure-F2P Wind requires off-element second carry.
  • Equipment ~Lv48-60+ realistic requirement for endgame F2P teams — gear-grind heavier than pull-grind.
  • C0 SR characters perform ~70-85% of their SSR equivalents — playable but speed-runs require investment.
  • Mono-element F2P comps don't always exist (e.g. F2P Wind has only Bonnie SR + Sangun SSR-bannered + no SR Wind carry until 1.1).
TL;DR

Top F2P comps

The cleanest F2P comps + element-by-element F2P teams + Spirit King 4pc bridge for Lightning.

Cleanest F2P startSF2P Earth core (cleanest start)Ellie (SR Earth Destroyer ranged) + Francis (FREE Earth Supporter healer) + Daisy (SR Earth Supporter HoT, banner-gated). All craftable signature artifacts (Sugar Spike, Overflowing Love, Forest Fragrance). Frenzied White Wolf 4pc craftable on Ellie. Clears Duoxini at recommended level via Earth Affliction stacking.
Simplest beginner compSF2P Ice core (simplest beginner)Cloud (SR Ice Destroyer ranged) + Sera (SR Ice Brawler dual-gauge) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). Cloud signature Dreaming Adventurer craftable. Sera signature Key for Locks Yet to Come craftable. Green Nightmare 4pc craftable (bridges SSR Arbiter at ~70%). Clears Custos cleanly at recommended level.

Element-specific comps

  • F2P Lightning core (Conquest tier 3+ requires C2) — Reina (SR Lightning Destroyer HP-scaling) + Benjamin (SR Lightning Slayer Nightmare Sprint) + Bonnie (FREE Wind Supporter) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin recommended for endgame Conquest. Clears Avardan at recommended level. Spirit King 4pc SSR-gated — bridge with Ice Heart 2pc SR.
  • F2P Fire core (Hahnul-capable, slow) — Verna (SR Fire Brawler simplest kit) + Leeho (SR Fire Slayer single-target burst) + Angel (SR Fire Slayer off-field auto-proc) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). Clears Hahnul slowly (~6-7 min fights). Mountain Peak Majesty 4pc craftable. Hardest F2P endgame ceiling.
  • F2P Wind core (Bonnie carry partner) — Bonnie (FREE Wind Supporter) + any Wind carry (Sangun if banner-gated obtained, else off-element second carry via Verna / Reina / Cloud / Sera) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). The only F2P comp dependent on banner pulls for a second SR Wind carry slot.
Wind F2P comps

Wind — Bonnie + carry + Francis

Wind support is FREE at launch (Bonnie). The carry slot needs at least one Wind pull.

Best F2P Wind comp

Bonnie (Wind Supporter, FREE) + Sangun (Wind Brawler SSR, banner-gated) + Francis (Earth Supporter, FREE). The launch Wind F2P clear comp. Sangun requires a pickup banner clear — the only F2P Wind comp that needs a banner pull. Without Sangun, the F2P fallback is cross-element.

Cross-element fallback (no Sangun)

Bonnie (Wind Supporter, FREE) + any non-Wind SR carry (Verna Fire, Reina Lightning HP, Cloud Ice) + Francis. Loses elemental synergy (Wind teams compound via Bonnie Encore C2 + Devourer Stance 4pc) but provides a working F2P comp until you pull a Wind carry.

Best for Amon (level 30 Dark boss, weak Wind)

Sangun + Bonnie + Francis works at recommended level. Without Sangun, the fight stretches to 5-6 minutes via cross-element comp. See [amon] boss guide.

Fire F2P comps

Fire — Verna + Leeho + Angel + Francis

The hardest F2P endgame core. Clears Hahnul slowly. Requires Equipment ~Lv58+.

Best F2P Fire comp

Verna (Fire Brawler, simplest SR kit) + Leeho (Fire Slayer single-target burst) + Angel (Fire Slayer off-field amp) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). The only 4-character launch F2P core — Angel rotates in via off-field Wanted auto-procs while Verna or Leeho hold the field.

Best for Hahnul (level 60 Lightning endgame, weak Fire)

Verna + Leeho + Angel + Francis clears Hahnul at recommended level but expects ~6-7 minute fights. Equipment ~Lv58-60+ realistic threshold. Hahnul's Roar 4pc SSR-gated — bridge with Mountain Peak Majesty 4pc SR (~70% efficiency). See [hahnul] boss guide for the meta-defining Fire farm loop.

Best for Duoxini (level 50 Fire boss, weak Earth)

Switch to Earth core for this fight — Ellie + Francis + Daisy. Fire core wastes elemental matchup against Duoxini. See [duoxini] boss guide.

Earth F2P comps

Earth — Ellie + Francis + Daisy

Cleanest F2P element at launch. Triple-Earth support coverage.

Best F2P Earth comp

Ellie (Earth Destroyer ranged + Snacks bench DPS + heals teammates passively) + Francis (FREE Earth healer, ATK-scaling Drug Field) + Daisy (Earth Supporter, HoT specialist + Mr. Flower's Aid Earth RES). Triple-support sustain comp — almost impossible to wipe. Earth Affliction stacking via all 3 characters compounds Frenzied White Wolf 4pc.

Best for Duoxini (level 50 Fire boss, weak Earth)

Ellie + Francis + Daisy at recommended level. Daisy's C4 (Always Together) +10% All Elemental RES helps survive Duoxini's high ATK output. ~4-5 minute clears with Frenzied White Wolf 4pc craftable on all 3 characters. See [duoxini] boss guide.

Best for Custos (level 30 Earth boss, weak Ice)

Switch to Ice core for this fight — Cloud + Sera + Francis. Earth attacks are wasted against Earth-resist Custos. See [custos] boss guide.

Ice F2P comps

Ice — Cloud + Sera + Francis

Easiest F2P beginner comp. Both SR Ice signatures + 4pc craftable.

Best F2P Ice comp

Cloud (Ice Destroyer ranged, Crystal-stack Rapid-Fire dump + Glacier Zone Freeze with C1) + Sera (Ice Brawler dual-gauge Freeze Ult) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). Cloud signature Dreaming Adventurer craftable, Sera signature Key for Locks craftable, Green Nightmare 4pc craftable. Easiest beginner-friendly F2P comp.

Best for Custos (level 30 Earth boss, weak Ice)

Cloud + Sera + Francis at recommended level. Clears in ~90s once geared. Custos is the launch difficulty checkpoint — easiest F2P clear in the boss pool. See [custos] boss guide.

Best for non-Ice bosses

Switch element. Cloud + Sera + Francis is Ice-locked for max value via Arbiter / Green Nightmare 4pc Ice Affliction payoffs. Off-Ice comps deal neutral damage.

Lightning F2P comps

Lightning — Reina + Benjamin + Bonnie + Francis

Conquest tier 3+ requires C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin. Spirit King SSR-gated.

Best F2P Lightning comp

Reina (Lightning Destroyer HP-scaling Neutralization, anchors stagger natively) + Benjamin (Lightning Slayer Nightmare Sprint burst) + Bonnie (FREE Wind Supporter, Encore C2 team Crit DMG) + Francis (FREE Earth healer). Cross-element comp — sacrifices mono-Lightning Spirit King 4pc payoff for Bonnie's universal Crit DMG buff.

Best for Avardan (level 40 Earth boss, weak Lightning)

Reina + Benjamin + Bonnie + Francis at recommended level. Clears via Reina HP-scaling stagger break + Benjamin Nightmare Sprint burst window. C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin recommended — pure-C0 SR Lightning teams struggle at endgame Conquest tiers. See [avardan] boss guide.

Spirit King 4pc bridge

Spirit King SSR Lightning set drops from SSR shard pool — not F2P-craftable at launch. F2P bridge: Ice Heart 2pc SR (+3% Lightning Attack Neutralization, scales off Reina HP via Superconductive Body) + Sticky Gorger 2pc SR (+3% ATK generic). ~75% efficiency vs Spirit King 4pc.

Quick answers

FAQ

Is Mongil: Star Dive F2P-friendly?
Yes. Bonnie (Wind Supporter) and Francis (Earth Supporter) are FREE at launch with craftable signature artifacts. 8 of 12 SR characters have craftable signature artifacts. SR 4pc sets (Devourer Stance / Frenzied White Wolf / Mountain Peak / Green Nightmare) are all craftable. Every launch dungeon boss has a documented F2P clear comp.
Can I clear Hahnul (endgame boss) F2P?
Yes, slowly. Verna + Leeho + Angel + Francis is the F2P endgame Fire comp. Expects ~6-7 minute fights at recommended level (Equipment ~Lv58-60+). Hahnul's Roar 4pc SSR-gated — bridge with Mountain Peak Majesty 4pc SR at ~70% efficiency. See [hahnul] boss guide.
Which element is easiest F2P?
Ice (Cloud + Sera + Francis, easiest beginner comp) + Earth (Ellie + Francis + Daisy, triple-support sustain). Both elements have craftable signatures on all SRs + craftable 4pc sets. Wind is also easy via free Bonnie but requires at least one Wind carry pull.
Which element is hardest F2P?
Fire. Hahnul (the endgame Fire-weakness boss) demands real damage output, and the F2P Fire comp (Verna + Leeho + Angel + Francis) clears slowly. Lightning is second-hardest — requires C2 Reina or C2 Benjamin for Conquest tier 3+.
Do I need to pull any SSR for F2P clears?
No, technically. Every launch dungeon boss has a documented F2P-clearable comp using only the 12 SR + Bonnie + Francis. The fights take longer than SSR comps but they clear at recommended level. Pull SSRs opportunistically for speed-up, not for capability.
How do I build F2P substats?
See [substats] guide. Default role priorities work for ~70% of the F2P roster. The 5 exceptional builds (Reina HP, Daisy HP, Yeonhwa Lightning DMG, Francis ATK, Bonnie Crit Rate) need attention — building them wrong loses 20-30% of kit value.
What's the easiest F2P launch team?
Earth core: Ellie + Francis + Daisy. Triple-support sustain (Francis ATK-scaling heal + Ellie Snack heals + Daisy Flower Field HoT), almost impossible to wipe. Earth Affliction stacking compounds Frenzied White Wolf 4pc. Clears Duoxini at recommended level.
Can I run mono-element F2P comps?
Mostly. Earth (Ellie + Francis + Daisy) + Lightning (Reina + Benjamin + Yeonhwa) + Fire (Verna + Leeho + Angel) all have 3-character mono-element rosters. Ice (Cloud + Sera) is short by one — need Francis cross-element. Wind has only Bonnie + Sangun (banner-gated).
How long until I can clear all launch bosses F2P?
Custos / Amon / Avardan typically by week 2-3 of daily play (Equipment ~Lv30-40). Duoxini by week 4-5 (Equipment ~Lv48+). Hahnul by week 6-8 (Equipment ~Lv58+ + Mountain Peak 4pc craft). Daily routine + Conquest tickets sustainable.
Should I save SSR pulls or use them on banners?
See [pulls] guide. F2P-recommendation: save until you have 90 pulls (hard pity guaranteed featured SSR). Then pull for the element you lack a carry in. Esther > Mina/Penny/Gabi/Ophelia as first SSR for cross-comp value.
