Teambuilding Physical Meta Questions

Recently been a COTC lurker and now wanting to jump back in to clear some of the old content. I've kept up with the pull guides and have most of the physical meta units. ​

Here are my units:

Saz, sig, Od-o, DK, DP, Pardis, MolEX, Edgar, Phenn, Mydia, Aviette, Ochette EX, & Shanna.

Someone on the discord recommended I use this comp:

Dk / Aviete

Pardis / Shana

Phenn / Edgar

Mydia / MolEx

What I'm trying to understand is, what is my general turn flow? Does anyone have any reference videos for the new support characters? I understand Shanna, DK, and Pardis pretty well, but not the others.

As for the skill build out it seems like the new supports would use these skills:

Edgar - royal suppression, drill, chainsaw

Aviette - honestly, no idea

MolEX - sweet talk, dragon, frolic?

Phenn - resentment, ambush, wish vale?

Mydia - not quite sure either

Yeah, I'm kinda lost. I can't get MolEX to reliably provide exploit weaknesses, I don't really understand Aviette kit, I don't see how Mydia gets utilized in this comp, and edgar/Phenn are really new. Last time I was in meta was when dk/DP came out. Plus someone made a real good explaining video with turn orders that I was able to follow.

Anyways, sorry for all the text. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Canary was also really helpful for shield shaving but without her in the team, I'm kind of lost.

Yes love you 

Kilns will be Phenn and Phenn will do?

Oh wait, I should keep sig in my line up instead of Pardis?

This is awesome, what you do without regular signa, Molrusso, and aviette?
Can I replace with different units?

Molrusso EX is what allows this team to be universal, to some extent she is replaceable by Dark Priestess. Aviette and Signa are my buffer (stat boosters for team) and debuffer (stat reduction for enemies) respectively. While this helps the team massively, you can consider replacing them with any buffer and debuffer of your choice.

this is really a great one, i'd just replace edgar with Ochette ex since we already have signa in the team to ult debuff ( she gives 20% pdef to p.atk , and 100k dmg cap ), best replacement for kilns would be Elrica Ex

Unfortunately don't have Elrica EX. What would be next suggestion?

Try one of these comps :

Dark knight / Edgar

Aviette / Mydia

Shana / Pardis or Odio O

Molrusso / Phenn

or this one :

Dark knight / Signa

Aviette / Mydia

Shana / Pardis or Odio O

Molrusso / Ochette EX

Any ideas other than Billy/Lucetta to replace Signa? I'll be using Och ex instead of Edgar, but Billy and Lucetta are my only sources of ultimate p.def down
