Duplicate Priorities
Dark Mist Secret Art: Destruction > Dark Mist Inner Art

Rin's best build focuses on playing Annihilation and Black Dance multiple times using copies of Destruction that can redraw it to her hand. She is a selfish DPS that does not want any party members that has attack cards used so make sure that most of your cards are skill or upgrade cards so that her Dark Cloud Stance is always active.

She is best suited with the 4/2 set consisting of Conqueror's Aspect and Executioner's Tool to further boost her overall damage with her 1-cost cards. Her favored chaos zone is Laboratory 0 to get her best equipment such as Mutant Predator Spike for more damage buff if there are 4 more cards in your hand. Wings of Freedom to get more damage buff after getting hit 3 times and Emblem of an Exceptional Entity for additional damage amount added to all her attack cards.

Sub-DPS	Support
Rei	Veronica

The resources Rin needs the most are her own cards, followed by damage buffs. Rei can provide both with Snack Time and her several void, basic, and morale buffs. Veronica has cards that allows her to an quickly cycle through the deck, and deals Extra Attack damage through her Ballista cards.

List of All Characters

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Orlea	Can replace Rei as the Support. You can utilize her creations to further buff Rin's damage and give more hits for her multi-attacks while providing heals and shields.
Nia	Can replace Rei as the Support. You can utilize her ability to provide Morale and manipulate your Draw cards to easily set up Rin's Stances as early as possible.
Mika	Can replace Rei as the Support. Mika is an excellent Support healer that works well with most team compositions for recovering AP efficiently.

Rin Best Cards

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Explanation
Drawing Slash	AP Cost: 0 Type: Attack Tags: Haste ・150% Damage ・Obtain Dark Cloud Stance ・Dark Mist Blade Art: +1 Damage count
Dark Mist Secret Art: Destruction	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill ・Move Dark Mist Secret Art: Annihilation and Dark Mist Secret Art: Black Dance from Draw Pile or Graveyard to hand
Dark Mist Secret Art: Annihilation	AP Cost: 1 Type: Attack Tags: Haste ・50% x2 Damage ・Dark Mist Blade Art: +2 hits
Dark Mist Inner Art	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade ・If in Dark Mist Stance state, +50% Rin's Attack Card Damage
Dark Mist Secret Art: Black Dance	AP Cost: 1 Type: Attack ・80% damage ・Dark Mist Blade Art: +1 Damage count according to the number of Skill cards in hand (Max 5 times)

Rin is a selfish stance and combo-focused DPS character that utilizes her Dark Mist stance to activate her card's secondary effects. This opens up multiple combos, especially if you have her potential 3-1 that lets you activate stance on basic attack cards.

You should try to duplicate Destruction so you can extend the combo further, since Destruction lets you redraw your two highest dealing damage cards, Annihilation and Black Dance without needing to get multiple copies of those two cards.

With the recent update on December 3, 2025, Inner Art now stacks with each other so it is also viable option to duplicate because each copy will increase all of Rin's attacks by +50% and it will thin the deck as it is only a one time use upgrade card.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Explanation
Repose	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill ・Draw 2 other combatant's card(s)
Sir Kowalski	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・Choose 1 Ballista in Hand, +150 % Damage until used ・Draw 2
Pendant of Resolution	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade ・When another combatant uses a Skill Card, 1 Reload ・50% chance to gain additional 1 Reload
Snack Time	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill Tags: Exhaust ・Select up to 2 card(s) from hand to Exhaust, then Draw that many
Dark Condensation	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・For 1 turn, +50% Damage to Void attack cards
Resonating Darkness	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade Tags: Unique ・+60% Damage of cards with cost 1

Overall, your goal is to get Rin's card into your hand, which can be done by exhausting unwanted cards, card draws, and shuffling the discard pile back to the draw pile.

For Veronica, your main goal is to capitalize on her non-attack card cycling abilities, such as Repose and Sir Kowalski. You should aim to obtain Divine Epiphanies for them that reduce their AP cost to 0. The Pendant of Resolution allows Veronica to gain Reload stacks each time Rin or Rei uses a skill card, further boosting the damage of her Ballista cards.

Rei can do card cycling with Snack Time while also thinning out your deck, but her main goal is to provide damage buffs to Rin by providing morale and additional void damage.

Partner

Details

Scarlet

Passive Effect:
Binding Knot - If a card used immediately before was from the assigned combatant, +15% attack card damage. Stacks up to 2 times and is removed if another combatant's card is used. When the assigned combatant uses 2 or more cards, they gain Focus. Focus: Attack card damage of the assigned combatant is increased by 20%. Remove Focus when another combatant's card is used.

Ego Skill:
The Path to Mastery - 250% Damage +10% assigned combatant's attack card damage per buff owned

The best partner for Rin would be Scarlet since she benefits from Attack cards that only use one character. As long as you are solely using Rin Attack cards, you can get up to 30% Attack Card Damage to help maximize your damage output.

List of All Partners

Alternative Budget Partner

Partner	Explanation
Lillian	Lillian can increase your overall damage whenever you use cards with less than 1 cost, which is the majority of Rin's attack cards. She can also draw her attack cards with her ego skill.
Douglas	An excellent 3-star Partner that increases your damage output by providing more attack stat especially at max manifest ego and gives Rin an AoE damage option for its ego skill.

Rin Best Memory Fragment

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

The Black Wing Set further boosts her Attack stat, while the Executioner’s Tool Set increases her Critical Damage, especially useful since she has many chances to deal critical hits through her Extra Attack damage. The Tetra’s Authority Set helps improve the team's survavibility by boosting her Defense.

Stat Priority

Main Stats	Recommended Substats
Ideal: Critical Chance % Desire: Void Damage % Imagination: Attack %	・Critical Chance % ・Critical Damage % ・Attack ・Attack%

For both main stats and substats, aim for Void Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Attack. Void damage is a direct multiplier, and you'll want to prioritize Critical Strike chance as much as possible to capitalize on our critical damage sets and be our main set's damage activator.

Rin Best Equipment

Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Mutant Predator Spike	Wings of Freedom	Emblem of an Exceptional Entity

We highly recommend getting damage-focused equipment for Rin to help bring her closer to one-shotting enemies.

These sets can be obtained from the Laboratory 0 Chaos area, and having both Mutant Predator Spike and the Emblem of an Exceptional Entity will further enhance Rin’s statline by increasing her damage as long as you have more than 4 cards in hand. The Emblem of an Exceptional Entity is also a valuable accessory on its own, providing an additional 30% damage boost for Rin.

List of All Equipment

Alternative Budget Equipment

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Obsidian Sword	Incomplete Carapace	Amorphous Cube

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 multi-hit attacks. Incomplete Carapace for shield if you have 5 or more cards in hand at the end of turn but can only be found in Laboratory 0 and Amorphous Cube gives a permanent +25% damage to all her attacks.

Activate Bonus Effects with Dark Cloud Stance

Maximize Morale Buffs Before Using Attacks

Activate Bonus Effects with Dark Cloud Stance

Before you start dealing damage, you first have to activate your Dark Cloud Stance as early as possible. Once the Stance is activated, any of Rin's cards that have Dark Mist Blade Art under their effects will trigger essentially making her damage output higher.

Using Other Combatant's Attack Card Will End Dark Cloud Stance

Do note that if you use any Attack card aside from Rin's, Dark Cloud Stance will be immediately removed and all the bonus effects from Dark Mist Blade Art will not trigger. So, make sure to have a card that can activate Dark Cloud Stance before you use any other attack cards first.

Maximize Morale Buffs to Combo With Her Multi-Hits

Most damage buffs in the game are additive to the card's total damage, such as Morale, basic damage bonus, etc. You'll want to activate buffs before starting her multi hit combos at most, as several epiphanies for her cards add additional hits, which lets Rin capitalize on these buffs multiple times with each card use.
