The yet to be completed Bazi app is designed to solve 4 major problems and two of them are the combinations/clashes domains. One of them is to allow beginners to key in the dates and presto, determine the day master strength, interactions within the branches and life domains, annual and 10 year luck pillar happenings.
For example, we know combinations precede clashes, penalties, harms, break within a natal chart. Ideally a Bazi app should show all the combinations, clashes etc, but a better approach will be to show the effect of combinations on all interactions. This is often the missing dimension when determine the day master type.

Hence the defense or idea that 3 pillars are enough or just as good as 4 pillars may break down when combinations play an important role. It is only good enough when the hour pillar is missing or the customer wants to be difficult and withhold the hour pillar.
In this yet to be completed app, using present date time, we can see branches combine and form water frame, hence the wood day master is boosted by the water. I have drawn the lines to help beginners visual how the branches interact with each another.
Therefore the day master is rather strong and favourable elements may be fire and earth.
The next update will expand the combinations/clashes with the annual and ten year luck pillar. This is the main trick used by experienced old Bazi hands to deduce the happenings within the present/past luck pillars.
