Khalipe	Mika	Haru
Great AoE damage and shields Single-target nuke Easy to build AP Hungry team

Khalipe is an AP-heavy AoE damage dealer and shielder but the Celestial tag enables her Vulture Ejection card to be activated by another 2 or more AP card at no cost. Mika helps with AP generation while Haru can help trigger Khalipe's Celestial cards using her 2-cost Anchor Shot.

Khalipe Best Team

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Support	DPS
Mika	Haru

The best team for Khalipe are Mika and Haru due to their ability to recover AP and use 2-cost Cards respectively. To make full use of Khalipe's kit, you will need a good source of AP recovery as her best cards have high Energy costs that you will need to meet in order to utilize her setup.

Mika is the best support for both healing and gaining AP which Khalipe lacks, while Haru should cover Single-target Damage for the team with the use of her 2-cost Cards that synergizes well with Khalipe's Celestial effects.

List of All Characters

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Beryl	She can replace Beryl as the DPS, relying on high single-target damage and a wide selection of 2-cost cards to help trigger Khalipe’s Heaven effects. Some of her cards have Retain, which grants additional effects or increased damage, and can also be used to hold her 2-cost card, Charged Shot, until Khalipe’s Vulture Ejection is drawn.
Selena	Can replace Beryl as the Sub-DPS. You can utilize her extremely low AP usage to give room for Khalipe's high-cost cards while providing Mark debuffs for more damage.
Amir	Can replace Beryl as the Sub-DPS. Amir focuses on creating a Shield team with Khalipe through the use of Metallization and her 2-cost Epiphany Cards.
Nia	Can replace Mika as the Support. A good substitute for recovering AP and triggering follow-up attacks but has less healing and requires more time to setup.

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 ・150% Defense-based Damage to all enemies ・120% Shield ・1 Silver Veil
Greatsword Aquila	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Retrieve 3 ・150% Defense-based Damage to all enemies ・If Vulture Ejection is in hand, Cost +1, +100% Damage
Overpower	AP Cost: 2 ・200% Shield ・1 Tenacity Damage to all enemies ・For each card in hand, +40% Shield Gain
Rally	AP Cost: 2: Tags: Celestial ・150% Shield ・Draw 1 highest-cost 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 Silver Veil stacks.

Overpower is great for dealing Tenacity Damage and we highly recommend getting the Epiphany for applying Vulnerable and Weaken to further enhance the card's capabilities. Lastly, Rally with a Celestial tag pairs well with Vulture Ejection to gain more Shields and possibly draw another copy of Vulture Ejection.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Epiphany Effect
Source of Water	AP Cost: 1: ・Heal 150% ・+2 AP ・On Recover, cost of card -1 for 1 turn
Whirlpool	AP Cost: 1 ・200% Damage to all enemies ・Gain 1 Wave equal to number of targets hit
Anchor Shot	AP Cost: 2 Tags: Pulverize ・300% Damage ・+60% Damage per number of times this card has been used (Max 5) ・Create this card in Draw pile (2 per battle)
Charge Energy	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Retain ・For 1 turn, +70% Attack card Damage by number of cards in hand
Lift Anchor	AP Cost: 0 Tags: Retain ・For Anchor Shot in hand, +1 Cost, +70% Damage for 1 turn

As for your teammate's Epiphanies, Khalipe does not need them entirely but can still be good to have for maximizing her build. Take Whirlpool epiphany with the Wave buff to provide you with more AP for using 2-cost Cards.

As for Haru, her upgraded Anchor Shot, which creates additional copies of the card, is essential for increasing opportunities to trigger Khalipe’s Celestial cards. Haru’s Charge Energy and Lift Anchor both have Retain, which synergizes with Khalipe’s Overpower by providing more shield based on the number of cards in your hand when it’s played.

Khalipe Best Partner

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Zeta	Passive Effect: Undertaking the Mission - 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 his partner passives provides us with more Defense-based Damage that aligns with Instinct characters and possibly draw Vulture Ejection with his Ego Skill.

List of All Partners

Alternative Budget Partners

Partner	Explanation
Eishlen	Eishlen's Ego Skill provides a retaining Shield which can be useful for survivability, but the lack of gaining Counterattack makes her damage boost passive ineffective.
Rachel	Rachel is an excellent 4-star Partner that gives us a chance to gain Counterattack every time we gain Shields. Her Ego Skill is great for general use as well since it allows us to Draw 1 card while also providing more Shields.
Raidel	An easy to get 3-star Partner that gives us more Shields and gain Counterattack. The passive is good for general use across most Vanguard characters.

Khalipe Best Memory Fragments

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

The optimal Memory Fragment combination for Khalipe pairs the Instinctual Growth and Tetra's Authority sets, granting increased Instinct damage and additional defense, respectively. Remember to cast Khalipe's skill first to benefit from the damage increase provided by Instinctual Growth. For the main and substats, aim for Instinct Damage, Defense, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage.

Sun-Setting Bow	Fairy King's Crown	Verdant Shackles

For Khalipe's equipment, we recommend getting Sun-Setting Bow to increase the damage of her 2-cost or more cards by 30%. Fairy King's Crown is used to consistently increase her Critical Chance, while Verdant's Shackles helps in boosting her Attack and Defense.

Do note that these equipment can be obtained from the Swamp of Judgement Chaos area, which you can unlock by progressing the Chapter 4 Story missions.

Deal Damage/Gain Buffs with Vulture Ejection

Spam Greatsword Aquila for AoE Damage

Gain Silver Veil, Shields, and deal AoE Damage with Vulture Ejection

Khalipe's card setup is pretty straightforward as you want effectively make use of Vulture Ejection's Heaven/Retain effect. Do note that we want to avoid using Vulture Ejection directly as it costs too much energy and we need to Retain it in your hand to use it for free with the 2-cost Card you are using. The rotation is as follows:

Draw Vulture Ejection using Rally. If you already have it in your hand, you can skip this step.
Use any 2-cost Cards to trigger Vulture Ejection for free and gain Shields, Silver Veil, and deal AoE damage at the same time.
Rinse and repeat.

Spam Greatsword Aquila for AoE Damage

If you have the Greatsword Aquila epiphany with Retrieve 3, you can keep spamming the card to continuously deal AoE Damage. Just make sure that Mika can keep up with the AP costs and you have Vulture Ejection in your hand to maximize the damage output.
