What is the standard team structure in Wuthering Waves?

A common structure is Main DPS + Sub-DPS (outro buffer) + Support/Healer + Flex. The key is chaining Outro skills so the next unit enters with a buff.

Do I need the signature weapon for a team to work?

No. Most teams function with a strong 4★ or alternative 5★ weapon. Signature weapons improve ceiling, not viability.
