Teams
Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer (MPS) is a valkyrie, so she has to be supported by AR valkyries with Harmonized Shadow Star trait, otherwise her potentials aren’t fully unlocked. However, using Rite of Oblivion valkyries CAN work until you get Harmonized Shadow Star valkyries, as they provide general buffs.
As a support, MPS can support Wheel of Destiny and valkyries.
Kindly check the infograph below to know who can be her best supports and which valkyries she can support.

Support Capability
Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer (MPS) can apply buffs relatively quickly, doesn’t need QTE to apply them, and can start the battle. Consuming is a long process for MPS, though, unless she can hit enemies with ultimate which temporarily stops time.
MPS has better shieldbreaking abilities thanks to her skills. She also tends to be the best supporting valkyrie for Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo against QUA enemies (aside Vita LP).
