		Dagger That Tricked The Shadow Fairy King's Crown Verdant Shackles Refinement: ・If Damage is completely blocked, at the start of the next turn, increase Damage Amount of allies by 10% for 1 turn (1 time per turn)

Cards and Epiphanies

Note: Khalipe's performance will significantly improve if Vulture Ejection has Vulnerable 2 Divine Epiphany

Khalipe's best build focuses on duplicating a lot of Vulture Ejection to deal more AoE damage, gain more shield and activate Silver Veil more frequently. Since her kit revolves around using high AP cost cards, she is best paired with characters that can activate Celestials with their own high cost cards.

She is best suited with the 4/2 set consisting of Line of Justice for more critical chance when her 2 or more AP cards activate and Tetra's Authority to get more defense stat for her shield and damage to all her defense-based attack cards.

Her favored chaos zone is Swamp of Judgment to get her best equipment such as Dagger That Tricked The Shadow for a 12% critical damage buff. Fairy King's Crown to get a 6% critical chance to her attacks and Verdant Shackles to get the best of both worlds of getting an attack and a defense buff for more damage and shield gain.

Khalipe Best Team

Main DPS	Support
Nine	Narja

As of Season 2, Khalipe's best team is Nine and Narja. Nine's job is be the main DPS of the team, capable of dealing high single-target damage while providing the party sufficient shields and can activate Khalipe's Vulture Ejections.

Narja, on the other hand, can buff the defense-based attacks of both Nine and Khalipe while providing heals through Voracity and more damage buffs with Predation.

List of All Characters

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Veronica	Can replace Narja as the Support as she can draw cards for Khalipe and give her additional free damage with her ballistas in exchange for lack of defense-based buffs and heals.
Magna	Can replace Narja as the Sub-DPS as she can provide more shield gain, counterattacks and vulnerable to the enemies but she has no access to card draw and heals.
Amir	Can replace Nine as the Sub-DPS. Amir can focus on her metallizations or synergizing with Khalipe with her Celestials too but at the cost of needing more AP to spend.
Nia	Can replace Narja as the Support. A good substitute for recovering AP and card draw using her Eternal Hunger combo however this only applies in Season 1.

Khalipe Best Cards

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Epiphany Effect
Vulture Ejection	AP Cost: 3 Tags: Celestial, Retain ・180% Defense-based Damage to all enemies ・150% Shield ・1 Silver Veil
Greatsword Aquila	AP Cost: 2 ・220% Defense-based Damage to all enemies ・If Vulture Ejection is in hand, 1 Silver Veil
Rally	AP Cost: 1 ・150% Shield ・Draw 1 Heaven card(s) ・1 Silver Veil

The most important cards for Khalipe are the Vulture Ejection and Greatsword Aquila as this will be your main way of dealing AoE damage throughout the fight. Once you have Vulture Ejection, keep it in your hand and start spamming 2-cost cards and Greatsword Aquila to trigger the Celestial effect and gain more Silver Veil stacks.

Lastly, Rally with a draw a Celestial card pairs well with Vulture Ejection to gain more Shields and draw another copy of Vulture Ejection.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Epiphany Effect
Bottomless Hunger	AP Cost: 0 Tags: Retain ・For 1 turn, +100% Defense-Based Damage
Voluntary Control	AP Cost: 1 ・If Voracity is fewer than 6 stacks, gain 9 Voracity ・ If 6 or more stacks, gain 3 Predation
Domain of Voracity	AP Cost: 1 ・100% Defense-Based Damage to all enemies ・ For 2 turn(s), +100% Defense-Based Damage taken by the target
Mealtime	AP Cost: 6 ・If Voracity is decreased decrease Cost by 1 and add +30% Heal Amount (max 10) until used ・ 160% Defense-Based Damage to all enemies ・ Heal 100% ・ 4 Predation
Hew (Ironclad)	AP Cost: 3 Tags: Unique, Initiation, Exhaust, Ephermeral ・400% Defense-Based Damage ・ 200% Shield ・ Incinerate: Create 1 Hew (Ironclad) Lv. 1
Counterblade	AP Cost: 0 Tags: Unique ・Increase Shield Gain Amount by 15%, and when Shield is gained through an ability, 1 Honed Edge
Fighting Spirit	AP Cost: 1 ・Activate 1 highest-Cost Attack Card(s) of this unit in hand, then Exhaust those cards

Nine's build in this team is to provide shields to the team while dealing damage through constant activation of Hew (Ironclad) by using Fighting Spirit. For Counterblade, you want the epiphany that also increases the shield gain for her cards while gaining Honed Edge. The rest of her cards can be removed.

Narja wants epiphanies that buffs her allies with defense-based attacks and this can be achieved by Bottomless Hunger and Domain of Voracity. As for Voluntary Control, make sure to pick the improved version of the base card which gives more Voracity and Predation stacks. As for the rest of her cards not mentioned, it is better removed for better deck cycling.

Khalipe Best Partner

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Zeta	Passive Effect: Undertaking the Mission - The assigned Combatant’s Defense is increased by 8% The Defense-Based Damage of the assigned combatant's Instinct cards is increased by 15%. +25% the assigned combatant's Celestial card Defense-based Damage and Shield Ego Skill: Deadly Poison - 200% Defense-Based Damage Draws 1 highest-cost card(s)

The best partner for Khalipe is Zeta since her passive provides her with multiplicative defense-based damage that aligns with Instinct characters and possibly draw Vulture Ejection with her Ego Skill. As of the Season 2 Balance, she also gets a defense stat boost for Khalipe.

List of All Partners

Alternative Budget Partners

Partner	Explanation
Wilhelmina	Wilhelmina can provide Khalipe more defense stat and an additive defense-based damage boost if the enemies has vulnerable on them. She can also provide morale and fortitude buff on her ego skill.
Raidel	An easy to get 3-star Partner that gives Khalipe more Shields and gain Counterattack. The HP increase is generally good but this makes Raidel a less desirable option as what Khalipe needs is more defense stat.

Khalipe Best Memory Fragments

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

The best Memory Fragment combination for Khalipe pairs the Line of Justice and Tetra's Authority sets, granting increased critical chance for 2 or more AP cards and additional defense, respectively so that she can deal more damage and provide more shield to the party.

List of All Memory Fragments

Stat Priority

Main Stats	Recommended Substats
Ideal: Critical Chance % Desire: Instinct Damage % Imagination: Defense %	・Defense ・Defense % ・Critical Chance % ・Critical Damage %

For both main stats and substats, aim for Instinct Damage, Defense, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage. Defense is much preferred over Damage as all of her attacks scales off of her defense. Giving her more critical chance and critical damage is also good so that she can deal more damage.

Khalipe Best Equipment

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Dagger That Tricked The Shadow	Fairy King's Crown	Verdant Shackles
Refinement: ・If Damage is completely blocked, at the start of the next turn, increase Damage Amount of allies by 10% for 1 turn (1 time per turn) ・Increase Damage Amount of 2-Cost or higher Attack Cards by 25% ・At the start of battle, if owning 18 or less cards, increase Damage Amount of Attack Cards by 30%

Khalipe's best equipment can only be found in Swamp of Judgment with Dagger That Tricked The Shadow giving her 12% more critical damage for all of her attacks. Fairy King's Crown for a 6% critical chance buff. Verdant Shackles so that Khalipe can gain both attack and defense stat for a higher damage boost and more shield gain.

As for refinements, this build can easily block most enemy attacks therefore it is best to have the refinement that boosts the damage of attacks by 10% multiplicatively after you block all attacks on the previous turn. Another significant refinement is the 30% multiplicative damage buff as long as you have 18 or less cards at the start of battle.

List of All Equipment

Alternative Budget Equipment

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Obsidian Sword	Titan Combat Suit	The Golden Rule

If you aren't able to get the best, you can settle for these equipment that some can be found in any chaos zones inside shops. Obsidian Sword to boost the damage amount of her attack cards. Titan Combat Suit for a heal after getting hit once per turn and The Golden Rule gives a permanent +20% additive damage and shield gain to all her cards.

Vulture Ejection Combo

One Card Can Activate Multiple Vulture Ejection

Activated Cards Does Not Activate Celestials

Vulture Ejection Combo

Khalipe's main goal is to have her or someone else use a 2 AP or more card to activate her Vulture Ejection. That's all her gameplan but thanks to the retain tag, she can hold it off for a few turns. Here are the steps to execute this combo:

Make sure that you have Nine's Counterblade activated
Keep playing Nine's Fighting Spirit to use her Hew (Ironclad) while trying to get all Nine and Khalipe's cards in hand
Once Nine's Hew (Ironclad) is at level 3, make sure you have Bottomless Hunger, Domain of Voracity and a few Vulture Ejections in hand
Use all the Bottomless Hunger and Domain of Voracity then play Hew (Ironclad) for 2 AP to activate all Vulture Ejections and deal a lot of damage.

One High AP Card Can Activate Multiple Vulture Ejection

If you have two or more Vulture Ejection in hand and you use one card that costs 2 AP or more, it will activate all the Vulture Ejection in your hand at once from left to right.

Activated Cards Does Not Activate Celestials

When a 2 AP cost or higher card was activated to bypass its cost, it will be considered as a 0 AP card therefore it will not activate the celestial effect of Vulture Ejection. Make sure to spend 2 AP or more to play a card so you can activate Vulture Ejection.
