Veronica's best build focuses on giving the party 0-cost draw 2 cards with multiple copies of Repose and provides end of turn free damage with her ballistas. She can fit in any team that lacks card draw and the perfect character for chaos runs if you want to build a tailored save data with a character due to the abundance of unique cards in her deck.
She is best suited with the 2/2/2 set consisting of Black Wing, Tetra's Authority and Executioner's Tool to further enhance her ballista damage and shield gain. While her favored chaos zone is Laboratory 0 to get her best equipment such as W-52 Dopamine Ejector for multiplicative buffs. Fragment of the Empty Void to get a better hard on turn 1 and Superconductive Protein that reduces a card to 0 on battle start.

Mei Lin needs to have epiphanies that helps fuel her Rising Dragon Spire to stack a lot of hits when a passion card is used. Just make sure that before you start doing it, Rising Dragon Spire is in your hand and Spirit of Aromata is played before everything else.
Mika only needs all the possible AP generation on her epiphanies to make sure that every card is played every turn. She also helps the team survive with her heals.

| Partner | Details |
|---|---|
Rosaria
|
Passive Effect: Security Team Requesting Support! - The assigned combatant's Additional Attack damage is increased by 10%. When the assigned combatant uses an Upgrade skill or Skill card, 25% chance to gain Morale for 1 turn. Ego Skill: Financial Support - Draw 1 Enhanced card If there are no Enhance Cards in the Draw Pile, Draw 1 |
Rosaria is the best partner for Veronica as she can boost her extra attack damage and a chance to give her party more morale for every upgrade or skill card. Her ego skill is also a great way to have an emergency draw 1 card if you ever need it, just make sure that all of your upgrade cards is played so you get the regular draw effect.
| Partner | Explanation |
|---|---|
Nakia
|
Nakia is the only 3-star Ranger partner that provides attack buffs when allies kill an enemy in a battle. She also gives a percentage amount of attack stat to Veronica much higher than Rosaria in exchange for morale buffs. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Black Wing Set Black Wing Set +12% Attack |
Executioner's Tool Set Executioner's Tool Set +25% Critical Damage |
Tetra's Authority Set Tetra's Authority Set +12% Defense |
Each of these sets only requires two pieces to activate their set effects, which provide simple stat boosts. The Black Wing set increases Selena’s Attack by 12%, the Executioner set boosts her Critical Damage by 25%, and Tetra’s Authority raises her Defense by an additional 12%.
| Main Stats | Recommended Substats |
|---|---|
|
Ideal: Critical Chance % Desire: Passion Damage % Imagination: Attack % |
・Critical Chance %
・Critical Damage % ・Extra Damage % ・Attack % |
For both main stats and substats, aim for Passion Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Extra Damage. Critical Chance is much preferred over Damage at the start, especially with the Executioner's Set immediately giving us Damage, and we'll want more crit chances to trigger critical strikes in the first place.

W-52 Dopamine Injector W-52 Dopamine Injector When Drawn with ability, increase Damage Amount by 20% for 1 turn (2 times per turn) |
Fragment of the Empty Void Fragment of the Empty Void At the start of battle, Discard up to 3 cards, Draw equal to the number |
Superconductive Protein Superconductive Protein At the start of the battle, change the cost of 1 card in your hand to 0 for 1 turn |
The best equipment for Veronica can only be found in Laboratory 0. Fragment of the Empty Void helps you start with a better hand and Superconductive Protein discounts a card down to 0 AP and can help you play more cards all on turn 1.
W-52 Dopamine Ejector is the best weapon for Veronica over Second Method because she constantly has access to draw 2 cards so it should always be active every turn and the buff it provides is multiplicative compared to Second Method which only has a buff that is additive.
| Weapon | Armor | Accessory |
|---|---|---|
Second Method Second Method Extra Attack damage +35% |
Brainwave-Blocking Helmet Brainwave-Blocking Helmet When you Draw by an ability, +40% Fixed Shield |
Amorphous Cube Amorphous Cube At the start of battle, +25% Damage |
If you aren't able to get the best, you can settle for these equipment that can only be found in Laboratory 0 too. Second Method gives a +30% damage to her ballistas and it is active all the time. Brainwave-Blocking Helmet gives a shield for each card drawn and Amorphous Cube gives a permanent +25% damage to all her cards.

Veronica's strongest card, Repose, makes her fit in any team that lacks any card draw. If you have the 0-cost epiphany of Repose, it is a free card that draws 2 card from other combatants. Do note though that she can't draw her own cards so a few draw cards from other party members can fix this issue.

Veronica consists of 3 out of 5 cards with a unique tag with Pendant of Resolution hidden behind an epiphany. This makes her a perfect candidate for creating a tailored save data for a single character as it will not take a spot during the copy event after killing a floor boss, increasing your chance to get the card you want to duplicate without needing to remove a lot of cards.

I’m surprised the Selena isn’t recommended anywhere as a potential teammate. She applies Passion weakness, Mark for extra damage, and has lots of skill cards to fuel Veronica’s reload. These two together decimate the battlefield. They’ve breezed through a lot of tough battles together that the other 5* struggled with.
