Best Build per Character

5 Star Combatants

Character Build Details
Chizuru Chizuru
Team: Cassius Rei

Chizuru is best used against single-target enemies because she is capable of stacking hits to her signature card to deal massive damage after a few turns. Therefore, her best team is Rei and Cassius, as both can help her draw cards, thin her deck, and boost her multi-hit attacks to further enhance her damage output.
Haru Haru
Team: Mika Cassius

Haru's best team consists of Mika and Cassius, who support her by providing AP and cycling her cards so she can use Anchor Shot as often as possible. This team is focused on dealing as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time, while maintaining decent survivability.
Hugo Hugo
Team: Mika Tressa

This team synergizes well with Hugo's Commence the Hunt mechanic, dealing extra damage each time an attack card in used. Use Mika's skill cards to increase the stack of Commence the Hunt, then use Tressa's Shadow Daggers to make Hugo do extra attacks as long as there are stacks of his mechanic.
Kayron Kayron
Team: Mika Rei

This team can utilize card and epiphany combinations from each character to create 2 builds. The first card combination relies on Kayron's 1 Cost cards to deal damage, while the second card combination aims to increase Kayron's Black Hole damage through card exhaustion.
Khalipe Khalipe
Team: Mika Beryl

This team synergizes well with Khalipe's Vulture Ejection card due to Mika's high AP recovery and Beryl's 2-cost Cards. Make sure to always use 2-cost Cards whenever you have Vulture Ejection in your hand to freely use the Shields, Silver Veil, and AoE Damage it provides.
Luke Luke
Team: Mika Lucas

Luke's best team makes full use of his Bullet cards by providing damage boosts and AP recovery to help executing multiple Bullets in a single turn. Lucas will help cover AoE damage, while Mika focuses on supporting the team with heals and more AP.
Magna Magna
Team: Haru Mika

This is a well-rounded team capable of dealing with any scenarios. Magna's role in this team is for AoE damage and shields. Mika sustains the party with healing, stress reduction, and AP recovery. Haru's only job is to wait for all of her cards until she can use her Anchor Shot at its full power, taking the role of a boss killer.
Mei Lin Mei Lin
Team: Veronica Mika

This is the best team in the game and also for Mei Lin once you got all the necessary cards and epiphanies on all characters. Veronica has free damage and draws while Mika provides survivability and AP generation. Once online, this team can deal up to more than 30k+ damage.
Orlea Orlea
Team: Maribell Beryl

Orlea's best team makes use of Beryl's Retain effects to further boost damage output while Maribell provides shields for the team for survivability. Orlea works best in long fights due to her infinite stacking Retain effects that can help you deal more than 1000% damage.
Renoa Renoa
Team: Cassius Rei

Renoa's team allows her to keep on stacking Dirge Bulelts from her hand or her discard pile to use with her Last-Ditch Assault or Black Thorn. This team composition is ideal for dealing high single-target damage, but can also work for normal enemy groups.
Rin Rin
Team: Orlea Cassius

Rin's team makes full use of Orlea's various Skill Cards and Cassius' target draws to easily activate Dark Cloud Stance and deal huge single-target damage throughout the fight.
Veronica Veronica
Team: Magna Nia

Veronica's best team is with Magna and Nia. She can deal a ton of damage every end of turn once she can create a lot of ballistas in hand with the help of Nia and her Epiphanized Sir Kowalski card. Magna helps with party protection and AoE damage. She can also fit in any team as a Sub-DPS thanks to her Repose and Sir Kowalski capable of drawing more than 3 cards per turn.
Yuki Yuki
Team: Veronica Cassius

Yuki excels in dealing high AoE Order Damage, but needs characters that help her draw cards and cycle the deck fast to play around her Inspiration mechanics. Veronica and Cassius are the best team for Yuki as both excel in providing draws while dealing significant damage and survivability.

4 Star Combatants

Character Build Details
Amir Amir
Team: Khalipe Mika

Amir's best team consists of Khalipe and Mika, and it revolves around the celestial tag to chain-activate high-cost cards, where Amir aims to do single-target damage with Metalize and AoE damage plus shields to help activate Metalize with Khalipe. Mika helps with AP recovery to help mitigate the high AP cost of the celestial cards.
Beryl Beryl
Team: Orlea Mika

Beryl's best team consists of Orlea for her ability to activate the retain effect on Beryl's attack cards to boost their damage further, while Mika acts as the support for HP and AP sustain.
Cassius Cassius
Team: Mika Tressa

Cassius has the ability to draw cards and lets you choose a specific card from the draw pile, opening up more opportunities for combos. His best team is Mika and Tressa that perfectly profits off his Triple 0 quest resulting to near infinite 0 cost attack cards, scaling damage and high amounts of agony stacks.
Lucas Lucas
Team: Mika Selena

The best tea for Lucas makes use of Selena and Mika to help cover Single-Target Damage and AP sustain, which Lucas lacks. This well-rounded team is capable of abusing Passion weakness to break enemies and gain even more AP.
Maribell Maribell
Team: Magna Mika

Maribell's best team consists of Mika with her Blessing of Waves shield based on healing epiphany and Magna with her shield gain from crystallization and AoE counterattacks. Maribell has two path, accumulating shields for Shelter Strike or stacking counterattacks, then using Maribell Shelter Mk.II
Mika Mika Team: TBD
Mika has a wide selection of cards that can restore the team’s HP and sustain their AP, making her one of the best supports in game.
Nia Nia
Team: Renoa Rin

Nia can fit in any team however, she can be built based on her gimmick, Decibel and Discards. Renoa and Rei is the best for her because of how well they synergize with her due to how Dirge Bullet works.
Owen Owen
Team: Mei Lin Mika

Owen acts as a Sub-DPS to Mei Lin as his Wind Charge is utilized to increase the attacks of Mei Lin's Rising Dragon Spire. The setup is completed by Mika that allows the build to use up to 4 AP.
Rei Rei
Team: Renoa Mika

The best team for Rei consists of a main DPS and healer to enable her Attack Buffs and maximize the damage output of our team. Renoa will make use of Rei's damage buffs, while Mika will help sustain the team through healing and AP recovery.
Selena Selena
Team: Mei Lin Mika

Selena’s best team composition includes Mika for her AP sustain and healing, and Mei Lin as a Passion-type ally who synergizes with Selena’s upgraded card effects, triggering a Coordinated Attack whenever a Passion Attack card is used.
Tressa Tressa
Team: Mika Rei

Tressa's best team consists of Rei for increased damage and Mika for her heals to generate Shadow Daggers. She'll stack a ton of Agony on her targets, dealing damage over time when the turn ends.
