how to make a boss comp
Don't worry if you don't have the meta units yet.
let's skip over the introductions and go straight to the point, okay? i know what's a boss and what's a team comp.
Well fine.
For starters, since you have limited units, the general team comp you should aim for would be:
Two DPS + Oitsuki + Ushi + Bukku (currently not super recommended to raise because he got replaced everywhere)
The two DPS will be whatever you have and raised. If you don't have Oitsuki yet, use Zash as a temporary measure. Just for an example, the team will look like this:

Somewhat in this SPD order. You don't need to have Kuro Mujou and Ubume specifically. What's important is the first three supports.
Ushi - your damage amplifier towards the target. In this case, the boss.
Oitsuki - your orb provider + damage boost
Bukku - also a damage amplifier. However, he needs to be G6 for the best results + team sustain
DPS - .... you do know what a DPS does, right?
To deal the best damage to the boss, you'd want to focus your damage on the doll. Depending on the boss, you might want more multi-hit DPS or ST DPS on the team. (Usually in Songstress and Tsuchigumo, you'll want multi-hit DPSes.)

The lazy aoe team
There's sort of four variations to this.
Variation 1 - the pure DMG team, consisting 3 AoE DPS, usually multi-hit Seduc DPSes.

One size fits all, don't need to think and don't need to aim.
Variation 2 - the IDR team.
Variation 2 - the IDR team.
Relies on DEF shred to make Menreiki hit high. She's usually on a broken set with high CDMG, no crit.
Variation 3 - SP Tama is all you need
Variation 3 - SP Tama is all you need
An alternative to SP Tama is Suzuka Gozen, but now she's true AoE instead of fake AoE, so it's not as great.
Variation 4 - Since I have Orochi, why would I need to build anything else?
Variation 4 - Since I have Orochi, why would I need to build anything else?
The last two DPS can be anything - not restricted to Tamamo and Kuro Mujou. They are just there as stat sticks for Orochi's snakes. If you have difficulty surviving, consider replacing one of the Maestro or DPS as a healer. Just snake everyone and sit tight.
The next level
If you're not satisfied with the previous two teams and have a bit more units to play around, you can now go the Shira double Shu comp (also known as shirashushu).
Also, somewhat in this SPD order. You might have some questions about this comp. I'll try to address the common ones.
1. I don't have a second Shuten, who can I replace the second one with?
Kujira, Kinnara, Itsumade, and SP Shu are ok options. Itsu is a poorer option because she loses feathers when she gets hit, which means less DMG. SP Shu not recommended because his burning takes extra time.

2. What if I don't have Enmusubi? Who can I replace her with?
Similar answer to 1., except Bukku is also an option now.
3. This comp has way too many SSRs. I don't have them!
Well, back to the first two team comps you go.

Well, back to the first two team comps you go.
These teams only have 5 units. How about Songstress boss? it allows 6 slots.
Good question! Bukku is actually discouraged in Songstress because the boss gives you ATK boost in the first phase, so it's way too easy to cap his DMG. If you have nothing else, you can still use him.
Your 6th unit will be the one that will be controlled by the Songstress.

- If you have difficulties surviving = use an orbless/out of turn healer (Hana, Sakura, Ebisu are ok options. Hiyo not super recommended 'cause she can only heals when opponent moves. Songstress deals AoE DMG, your Hiyo doesn't have AoE heals.)
- If you use the SP Tama team comp (SP Tama, double Maestro, Enmu) = 6th unit is Nuribotoke Aoandon for orb consistency and DMG buff.
- If you're using Shira double Shu comp = usually you don't have problems surviving. In this case, you'll go for DMG, which is having Kuro Mujou/SP Yoto to defeat the maidens and get ATK stacks. Then they'll get seduced.
Just tell me what's the meta team comp. I mean, I'll eventually have to build it, right? Might as well start right now instead of building the shikis you mentioned in the previous comps.
Well, if you say so.
As of the making of this guide (updated 16/02/2022), the current meta team comp can be seen in this link right here (credits to Memoria). The previous versions can also be seen in this link.
In general, the meta supports you should look for are:
There's also an assist comp but that team revolves around Shokurei. Don't try it out if you don't have him.

Well tough luck. Off the previous three teams you go.
