The original tester confirmed that the performance difference between the two team compositions is minimal, but this can vary depending on the enemies. Previous beta leaks have revealed that Mydei will be a powerful DPS character who follows the Path of Destruction, which usually features characters with high damage output and decent sustain. Overall, fans seem satisfied with how Mydei performs in these team compositions, and some have pointed out that this test further proves Gallagher is one of the best four-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

Some comments also point out that Mydei's go-to support choice will probably be Sunday.

Some players also claim that they will probably wait to see the beta leaks for Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 to see if any additional future roster additions will work well with this Destruction character.

Luckily, the fact that Mydei will be featured in the second part of Honkai: Star Rail update 3.1 means that players will have plenty of time to see similar beta leaks featuring Mydei and some of the 3.2 playable units. While Mydei and Tribbie are yet to officially join the roster, credible Honkai: Star Rail leakers have already started hinting that Version 3.2 will feature two new roster additions: Castorice and Anaxa.
