Note: Orlea's performance will significantly improve if Growth Acceleration have a -1 cost Divine Epiphany.

Orlea's season 2 build focuses on activating Contaminated Spore's stacking multiplicative debuffs via her retain cards to burst enemies in a single turn. Due to her Will of Light, she's able to forcefully duplicate Contaminated Spores via retain effect without ending the turn.

In addition to spores, you're also stacking multiplicative buffs from retaining Softie at the same time from retain effect and with Growth Acceleration, you'll be able to stack vulnerable debuffs to enemies as well.

Her ideal Memory Fragment set are the Glory's Reign Set to give the team a permanent +15% additive damage by exhausting cards which Orlea can easily do with Contaminated spores and her equipment set is found in the Burning Life chaos zone.

DPS	Main DPS
Nine	Beryl

Nine is the best combatant to capitalize on Orlea's one big multiplicative buffs. Due to the nature of Nine's Hew card, she's able to reach a high base hit for a single cards. Couple it with multiplcative buffs and debuffs and you're able to defeat most elite enemies in a single hit.

For the 3rd combatant, Beryl is the ideal support to bring as Beryl can also stack up her own spores to ramp up the multiplicative debuffs to their target.take note however, that Beryl's Guilty Pleasurr cannot activate Orlea's retain effects but Orlea's Will of Light can to Beryl's spore if she has it in her save data.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Chizuru	Chizuru and her Shadow of the Moon synergizes with Orlea and her interaction with Contaminated Spore. Spore's damage is based on the next attack card so any combatant that can focus their damage in one big attack can capitalize on Orlea's interaction with Contaminated Spore.
Veronica	Veronica as a card draw focused combatant can work as a team member for Orlea's setup as she can draw more Will of Lights to quickly ramp up retain effects. However, her ballista can consume the debuff from the contaminated spore so its ideal to remove her ballista card if you plan to include her in the team.

Orlea Best Cards

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

Card	Explanation
Spore Harvester	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill Tags: Retain, Exhaust ・Incinerate: Create 2 Contaminated Spore ・ Retain: Create 1 Contaminated Spore
Growth Acceleration	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・Heal 150% ・Select 1 of own Cards in hand and trigger Retain effect 2 time(s) ・If that Card is a Softie, 2 Vulnerable to all enemies ]
Growing Creature	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill Tags: Retain ・Create 1 Creation ★ Card ・Retain: Change this card to Softie ★★★ and apply 2 Vulnerable to all enemies
Will of Light	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・Heal 200% ・Activate the Retain effect of all cards in hand

For her main setup, you'll remove her creation generator which is Sacred Censer as it will only dilute your hand with unnecessary creation cards. You'll want to get a card that can generate Spores and the best one to have is Spore Harvester as it can immediately give you two for no AP cost.

Once these are setup, simply continue on applying spore debuffs to enemies by using them then activating Growth Acceleration and Will of Light to reactivate their retain effect to repopulate your hand with spores again.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Nine Card	Explanation
Hew (Extreme) Lv. 5	AP Cost: 2 Type: Attack Tags: Unique, Exhaust, Retain ・1000% Defense-Based Damage ・ Incinerate: At the start of the turn, create 1 Hew (Extreme) in hand
Fighting Spirit	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・Activate 1 highest-Cost Attack Card(s) of this unit in hand, then Exhaust those cards
Fatal Strike	AP Cost: 5 Type: Skill Tags: Unique, Ignition, Retain ・Change Hew in hand to its final level
Counterblade	AP Cost: 0 Type: Upgrade Tags: Unique ・When a card is Exhausted, 1 Honed Edge
Beryl Card	Explanation
Opening Found	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade ・When own card is Retained, +150% Extra Attack to random enemies
Guilty Pleasure	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill ・Draw 1 ・Activate Retain effect on all cards in hand
Unlimited Firepower	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade ・+30% own Attack Card Damage
Spore Harvester	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill Tags: Retain, Exhaust ・Incinerate: Create 2 Contaminated Spore ・ Retain: Create 1 Contaminated Spore

This setup is focused on stacking as much Contaminated Spore against enemies via Orlea and Beryl's retain card. Nine's focus is to reach Hew Extreme level 5 to reach her highest damage potential which can be done via her Fatal Strike's epiphany 3. Once done, the team's role is to continuously stack up spore effects on enemies from their retain activation then using Nine's Hew to dish out tons of damage.

Orlea Best Partner

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Nyx	Passive Effect: Errante Hurricane - The assigned combatant's Defense, Health, and Heal Amount 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.

List of All Partners

Alternative Partners

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.
Noel	Noel is a decent partner, specially in chaos runs as it lets you dish out passive damage just by playing with Orlea's strengths which are retaining her creation cards. Noel also passively increases the team's sustain by improving Orlea's creation's healing which stacks up nicely during the entire chaos run.

Orlea Best Memory Fragments

Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

This set amplifies the majority of Orlea's stat needs while also buffing her team's damage output. With her potential stat changes, opting to defense with Tetra's Wing Set is the superior option as it lets you reach her 300 stat requirement for potential 7 which increases the entire team's critical strike chance. Glory's Reign also adds +15% damage to the entire team's damage output after exhausting 3 cards which Orlea can easily do with spores and creation cards.

Tetra's Authority and Healer's Journey are the standard 2/2 set for defensive combatants to increase the team's survivability.

Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Pale Eternal Flame	Star-Lit Cloak	Combat Drum

Pale Eternal Flame is a permanent effect for Orlea due to her ease of access to exhaust cards and Combat Drum can be activated once we start retaining cards with Will of Light. These 2 equipment combined lets Orlea ramp up her allies' damage output easily. For armor piece, there are no exact equipment that lets Orlea perform better but Star-Lit Cloak is a decent survivability equipment but can easily be slotted by any armor that provides survivability to the team.

Capitalize on Creation Card Effects


	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.

Cycle Burst With Vulnerable and Contaminated Spores

setup example but is best played with nine and a more condensed deck.

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.

she's best for raid

Anonymous 4 months

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
