Orlea's main focus is retaining her creation cards to amplify her later turns using the same cards while also utilizing her creation's presence in her hand to activate unique effects from her other cards. This build focuses on amplifying one big damage nuke with Growth Acceleration and Softies to stack up multiplicative damage then launching one big attack on a vulnerable enemy.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support | Main DPS |
|---|---|
Rin
|
Rei
|
Rin capitalizes on Orlea's retain cards using her Dark Mist annihilation while also maximizing Softie's damage amp using her multi-hit attacks. Orlea also dislikes launching her creation cards unless its to free handspace or to burst down a target which is Rin's preference as she wants to be the only combatant launching attacks.
For the other support, Rei is the next best combatant as most of her cards are either upgrade cards to amp your damage or snack times to further thin out the deck. This lets Rin focus on drawing her own cards and keeping your hand size up to maximize her amplified Black Dance with Rei and Orlea's buffs.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
Veronica
|
Can replace Rei as a sub-DPS. Unlike Rei that focuses on upgrade and damage buffs, Veronica occupies a bit of handspace to provide further card draw. Her Ballista also doesn't affect Rin's stance which lets her further fetch Orlea and Rin's card for faster creation stacking. |
Mika
|
Can replace Rei as the support. Mika is an AP batter and healer so if your team lacks any of the two effects (either by tackling a high difficulty content or not enough ap epiphanies on skill cards). |

For Orlea's cards, you want to retain as many creation cards as possible to increase their damage and focus on creating Softie cards to maximize the damage output of Rin's attacks. This also lets you activate Growth Acceleration to apply vulnerable to enemies repeatedly.

This is a damage buff setup focusing on giving Rin as much damage burst as possible on her own cards. With Orlea, you'll grant tons of Vulnerable stacks for Rin to use while Rei amps up Rin's damage with her buffs or helping her activate stance with Strike of Darkness for her basic attack.
Once your first card rotation with Snack Time completes, your deck would only consist of Rin's cards and Orelea's creation-related cards.

| Partner | Details |
|---|---|
Nyx
|
Passive Effect: Errante Hurricane - The assigned combatant's HP and healing are increased by 8%. When the assigned combatant Draws for the first time each turn using an ability, +8% Damage dealt by allies for 1 turn. Ego Skill: Resonance - Discard up to 3 cards, then Draw +1 cards equal to the number discarded |
Nyx is the best partner for her as it solves one of Orlea's weakness which is card draw. It lets you discard cards to cycle through your deck which the creation cards can come in handy as discard options.
| Partner | Explanation |
|---|---|
Arwen
|
A defensive 4-star Partner replacement that provides Damage Reduction whenever an enemy plans to attack your team. As Orlea doesn't have an active playstyle when it comes to defending, Arwen's 3 cost ego skill and her passive damage reduction helps sustain the team. |
Yvonne
|
Yvonne is a decent partner as she gives Orlea a direct buff to her defense stat which further amplifies her shields and heals. Most often than not, you'll also avoid using attack cards which can easily activate Yvonne's passive healing as well. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tetra's Authority Set Tetra's Authority Set +12% Defense |
Black Wing Set Black Wing Set +12% Attack |
Healer's Journey Set Healer's Journey Set +12% Max HP |
This set amplifies the majority of Orlea's stat needs. Attack is a very vital stat due to Orlea's potential 7 which increases the whole team's critical strike chance after reaching 800 attack. This is also not that easy to reach as controller partners provides minimal attack stat so capitalizing on as much attack stat as needed is vital for Orlea.
Tetra's Authority and Healer's Journey are the standard 2/2 set for defensive combatants to increase the team's survivability.

Crimson Sword Crimson Sword When dealing Damage wiith a targeting Attack Card, 3 Agony (1 per turn) |
Star-Lit Cloak Star-Lit Cloak -10% Damage (1 per turn) |
Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus At the start of the turn, activate 1 random Initiative card in hand |
Crimson Sword is an easy slot in as it lets us use Annoying and Swifties to inflict agony. This will let Rin get the bonus damage from the Cursed Corpse Set. Star-Lit Cloak is a good mythic gear to chase as Orlea's healing isn't top-notch and its multiplicative damage reduction will let Orlea's bits of healing be able to sustain a team. Lastly Multifaceted Parallele Universe Nexus is a slot in to use Sacred Censer to let us get a smoother turn 1 curve and the ability to slot in other lead cards such as Sadism to our card pool.

| Retain | Use | |
| Swiftie | Strengthens Swiftie's attack. | Launches an attack, the longer Swiftie is retained, the higher the multiplier. |
| Softie | Strengthens the next attack card used. The buff stacks additively and its effect can be collected for a huge damage burst. | Provides a 1 turn buff for all attack card used this turn. Stacks with its passive effect. |
| Sturdy | Heals the party. Unlike the other 2 creation cards, Sturdy's effect do not stack and its only best retained if you need the healing or wish to increase your hand size. | Shields the party. |
Orlea needs to activate her Sacred Censer upgrade but it costs 2 AP if Lead does not activate. With Multifacted Parallel Universe Nexus and Rocket-Adorned Cape, we'll be able to use most of our starting hand while also immediately activating Orlea's upgrade card in the first turn. This lets us ramp up our creation cards faster.
Orlea can quickly setup vulnerable and one big damage nukes. This damage bonus is applicable on the next card's total damage. Try to use the biggest damage and multi-hit card to stack its damage bonus with Orlea's Softie and the vulnerable debuff from enemies.

Have to COMPLETLY disagree on Orlea being B tier. She is very easily SSS. She can solo any difficulty of any boss completely solo. Challenge, Codex, or Chaos. You don't need any gear or cards. I suggest her, Mika, and Haru. Mika only needs one epiphany (-5 stress) and you can get two 3* toughie for 100% x2 heals per turn and just hold out as long as you want to have as many swifties in hand with 4000%+ damage. The -5 stress prevents he from status and she can solo any content. 0 gear required
