CZN Build - Pro Can deal high burst damage

CZN Build - Pro Easy card pulls due to deck thinning with exhaust

CZN Build - Con Requires multiple buffs to truly reach efficient DPS.

The Blackhole Kayron build works through Mika and Rei acting as supports to mitigate teh AP cost of setups and further buff the insane damage that Kayron can deal. The build can deal high burst damage and has easy card pull, with the only downside is that the setups may require a few turns before completion.

Main DPS Support
Rin Rin Mika Mika

The best team for Rei consists of Rin and MIka, who act as the Main DPS and Support, enabling her role as an Attack Buffer for the team. This allows Rei to buff most of Renoa's 1-cost Cards to deal as much damage as possible from either increasing a specific Card's damage, or gaining the Morale buff for the entire team.

Tressa Tressa Can replace Renoa as the Sub-DPS. You can utilize her Shadow Daggers to consistently apply Agony at a low cost while also giving Rei space to deal damage as well.
Cassius Cassius Can replace Mika as the Support. Cassius helps with Target drawing useful cards whenever possible to help setup the team more efficiently.

The most important cards for Rei are her attack buff cards such as Strike of Darkness, Resonating Darkness, and Dark Condensation. These cards allow her to boost further the damage of our main DPS attack cards to comfortably deal huge damage, especially for Void characters.

On the other hand, Snack Time lets Rei target draw specific Void cards of your choosing so you can setup our main-DPS as early and consistently as possible.

Lastly, make sure you have Predator's Blade in your deck so that you can make use of the Morale buff further increase the damage output of the team. Since you will surely get the Sleeping Memory Manifest Ego for free, this allows you to have 4 Morale to reach a total of 80% increased damage in a single use.

As for Rei's teammate cards, we recommend focusing on getting Wave buffs for Mika so you can easily recover AP and continue buffing Attack cards with more damage. For Renoa, make sure to prioritize getting more Dirge Bullets so Rei can keep buffing them for that extra damage boost.

Wiki - Offering of the Void SetOffering of the Void Set Wiki - SethSeth's Scarab Set

The best Memory Fragment sets for Rei are the Offering of the Void and Seth's Scarab for Void Damage and Basic card damage. This should allow Rei's Void team composition to maximize the damage output of her main DPS comfortably.

For your sub-stats, make sure to aim for getting Void Damage on your Desire slot, and Attack for the rest of your equipment slots to further increase the damage that Rei can provide for the team.

Rei's kit focuses on providing buffs but to use these, you'll still rely on using attack cards such as Predator's Blade and Strike of Darkness. Having more attack let's Rei scale as an extra source of damage.

Apply Damage Buffs to High-Value Cards

Apply Damage Buffs to High-Value Cards

The main focus on Rei's role is to apply short Damage buffs to your main DPS Attack cards and deal the highest amount of damage possible in a single turn. This is especially useful for Void characters such as Renoa and Kayron as Rei has a ton of epiphanies that specialize on buffing Void cards.

Although it is viable for Rei to use her own Attack cards, we only recommend doing that if you get a bad Draw where you only have Rei Attack cards in your hand. Make sure to always prioritize the main-DPS Attack cards to fulfill Rei's role as an Attack Buffer.

Use Snack Time for Target Drawing

Snack Time is an essential card in Rei's kit as it allows you to Exhaust cards in your hand so you can avoid drawing a specific card in your coming turns. With the Epiphany that allows you to select a Void card to draw, this enables Rei to target draw specific Void cards for your main-DPS to setup their Attack cards at the right moment and maximize their damage output.
