Build Overview

DPS Party List
Magna	Haru	Mika
Access to both single-target and AoE damage High vulnerable stacks and shields Lacks card draw

Magna can fit in any team because of her ability to protect allies with shields while dealing damage with counterattacks that can turn into an AoE attack. She can also apply a lot of vulnerability stacks that Haru can utilize with her Anchor Shots and Mika helping both gain more AP to spend on their expensive cards.

Magna Best Team

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Main DPS	Support
Haru	Mika

Magna's best team is Haru and Mika since she excels in maintaining shields and accumulating counterattacks that can turn into devastating AoE damage which both character lacks. However, what she needs is single-target damage and AP recovery, which Haru and Mika can provide.

Haru's cards revolve around dealing heavy-single target damage and Mika's cards can provide AP for the party letting either Magna setup her shields and Ice Wall or Haru's Anchor Shot.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Maribell	Can replace Haru as the Main DPS. Revolves around accumulating massive shields and dealing massive damage with Shelter Strike.
Amir	Should be paired alongside Magna and Maribell as the Sub-DPS. Provides damage reduction and follow up damage when gaining shields.
Tressa	Tressa can replace Haru as the team's Sub-DPS, as she provides consistent damage through her Agony stacks while Magna sustains the team during the ramp-up time needed for Tressa's Damage Over Time effects to defeat the enemy.

Magna Best Cards

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Epiphany Effect
Ice Fragment	AP Cost: 0 Tags: Initiation ・2 Crystallization ・At the start of the turn, 1 Counterattack
Glacial Iron Fist	AP Cost: 2 ・315% Defense-based Damage ・50% Damage dealt as Fixed Shield (Does not exceed 20% of Max HP)
Ice Wall	AP Cost: 2 ・150% Shield ・3 Counterattack ・For 1 turn, Counterattack applies to all enemies
Frost Charge	AP Cost: 1 ・150% Shield ・2 Vulnerable to all enemies ・+50% Shield gained per enemy

Magna needs Ice Wall fast so aim for epiphanies as much as possible early in the run to get it as soon as possible. Ice Wall at its base form can already clear fights with multiple enemies in 2-3 counterattacks.

Gaining counterattacks is easy for Magna as long as her Potential 3-1 is unlocked therefore, aim for epiphanies on her cards that lowers counterattack gain in exchange for more shield, more damage or lower cost. Also, avoid getting Storm of Bitter Cold from your deck as it is useless for her.

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Epiphany Effect
Source of Water	AP Cost: 0 ・Heal 150% ・+1 AP ・-2 Allies Stress
Blessing of Waves	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Retain ・Heal 150% ・+30% Healing equal to number of AP ・Shield equal to Healing amount exceeding max
Tactical Analysis	AP Cost: 0 ・2 Wave ・For 1 turn, +100% own Healing
Anchor Shot	AP Cost: 2 Tags: Pulverize ・280% Damage ・Combo: +1 hit
Anchor Pointer	AP Cost: 0 ・From Draw Pile or Graveyard, move Anchor Shot to hand, +25% to Critical Chance of that card for 1 turn
Charge Energy	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Retain ・For 1 turn, +70% Attack card Damage by number of cards in hand

Mika's goal as a support is to sustain the party with healing, stress reduction and ap recovery so focus on epiphanies that grant those especially in the Blessing of Waves card. Haru's main job is to provide single-target damage that Magna cannot provide therefore, pick cards that boosts the multipliers of her Anchor Shot without needing to play multiple copies of it because this team is not specialized on card draw.

Magna Best Partner

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Eishlen	Passive Effect: Innos's Guardian - The assigned combatant's Health and shield gain are increased by 8% When the assigned combatant gains Counterattack, +15% Defense-based Damage. Ego Skill: Arcane Wave - 100% Shield. At the end of the turn, retain 50% of Shield

Eishlen is a 5 star Vanguard Partner that provides health and shield gain plus a damage buff to counterattacks. Her ego skill gives more shield and transfers 50% of your current shield next turn, making her viable for survivability and damage boost.

Alternative Budget Partners

Partner	Explanation
Rachel	Rachel provides shield gain and a 20% chance to get 1 counterattack. Her ego skill gives shield and 1 card draw. She is the only 4-star partner that can boosts shield gain so the card draw and counterattack is only a bonus.
Raidel	Raidel is the only 3-star partner for Vanguards that boosts your health and counterattack damage. His ego skill provides shield and counterattack which is perfect for Magna.

Magna Best Memory Fragments

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

We recommend using three 2-piece sets for Magna, as no 4-piece set truly fits her playstyle, particularly with our recommended setup. Tetra's Authority increases overall defense and damage (since Magna is Defense-based), while Seth's Scarab enhances the shields from your Frost Shield starter card. Healer's Journey is a solid additional 2-piece set to improve your team's overall survivability.

The main and substats you should aim for are Defense, Justice Damage, Critical Chance, and Critical Damage.

Equip Cursed Corpse as an Alternative While Using Tressa

If you have Tressa as your sub-DPS, you can replace Healer's Journey with Cursed Corpse to enjoy a consistent 10% increase to all of your damage.

Shield Gain Equipments

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Singing Sword	Chains of Obsession	Corrupted Core

Vulnerable Stacking Equipments

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
The Flower of Life	Mask of Flames	Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus

Magna can use two types of equipments. The first is about shield stacking with Corrupted Core storing some of your shield in the following turns. Chains of Obsession and Singing Sword for stat boosts as there aren't any better equipment for her. All of these equipment can only be found in The Foretold Ruin.

Second is focused on vulnerability and making advantage of that with Mask of Flames, The Flower of Life and Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus to automatically play her lead cards. Do note these equipments can only be found in Swamp of Judgment.

Focus On Shield Gain For Single-Target Enemies

AoE Counterattack Damage with Ice Wall

Consistent Counterattack Gain With Her Base Cards

Focus On Shield Gain For Single-Target Enemies

Magna's role in fights with only one enemy is to gain shields as much as she can. Use Glacial Iron Fist, Frost Shield and Frost Charge to help your team survive attacks and counterattack at the same time.

AoE Counterattack Damage with Ice Wall

Magna's card, Ice Wall, can easily turn fights with multiple enemies a cakewalk. You want to play Ice Wall as soon as possible in these fights to start dealing AoE damage to every enemy.

Consistent Shield and Counterattack Gain With Her Base Cards

Chaos Zero Nightmare - Magna Potential 3-1
Thanks to Ice Fragment and Frost Shields, Magna consistently gets the right amount of shield and counterattacks in a fight if you have her Potential 3-1 unlocked. Get it as soon as possible to make her kit complete.
