CZN Build - Pro High Sustain and Shields

CZN Build - Pro Can capitalize on Metallize easily

CZN Build - Con High card costs

This Amir team focuses on Amir being a Sub-DPS by activating her Metallize via shields and utilizing other unit's high cost cards to activate cards that gains Heaven from epiphanies. She works well with other shielders to activate her Metallization that lets her deal damage when gaining shields as well which Khalipe can easily do while dishing out damage herself.

Amir's best team is Khalipe and Mika for celestial cards synergy and wave accumulation for AP recovery. Amir will stack metalization and spending it using her Full Metal Hurricane card to a single-target enemy while maintaining valuable buffs and debuffs. Khalipe provides constant shield gain to activate metalization and AoE damage with Vulture Ejection and Silver Veil. Mika's only job is gathering a lot of wave to give the party AP to spend sacrificing her healing output.

Alternative Team Members

Character Explanation
Magna Magna Can replace Khalipe as another DPS. Magna also provides shield and AoE damage but you lose more celestial cards. Her crystallization effect doesn't trigger metalization.
Maribell Maribell Can replace Khalipe as the Sub-DPS if you don't have Magna. Maribell also provide the same amount of shield but lose access to AoE damage in exchange for more single-target damage.

In this build, Amir wants epiphanies that gives her unique cards the celestial tag and provide more metalization stacks. Hovering Metal and Metal Extraction are the only cards that can gain the celestial tag. Full Metal Hurricane should have the epiphany that adds more damage and hit to the metalization effect to deal more single-target damage which this team lacks.

Khalipe's choice of epiphanies should be more shield and silver veil gain. Vulture Ejection and Overpower has epiphanies that adds more shield gain based on how many cards you have in hand while Greatsword Aquila and Rally can gain more stacks of silver veil.

Mika must focus on getting more wave stacks in exchange for less healing. The tradeoff of less healing is fine with this team as both Amir and Khalipe can provide enough shield to not take any damage.

Wilhelmina is the only partner that boosts Amir's defense and more if she strikes a vulnerable enemy. She is also a 4-star Vanguard partner and getting a single copy of her should be easy enough.

Wiki - Bullet of Order SetBullet of Order Set Wiki - TetraTetra's Authority Set

Bullet of Order provides Amir additional order damage if she used an attack card. She only has 2 attack cards and most of the time she only uses 0-1 attack cards per turn and never 2 or more but this is still the best 4-set as the other 4-sets are useless for her. Tetra's Authority for her 2-set to boost her defense. For the substats, make sure to get as much defense as possible.

Stat Priority

Main Stats Recommended Substats
Ideal: Health%
Desire: Order Damage%
Imagination:Defense%
・ Defense
・ Defense%
・ Health
・ Attack

As Amir does defense based damage, we highly recommend focusing on defense stats followed by Health so you can take chip damage if possible. Attack is the least priority as it does still add some damage to defense based attacks but with a lower percentage rate.

Wiki - Blood Giant ClawBlood Giant Claw Wiki - Contaminated HelmetContaminated Helmet Wiki - PalasiaPalasia's Orb

Palasia's Orb increases damage to vulnerable enemies. Amir will almost always use her Metal Pierce card first to apply vulnerable. Blood Giant Claw is the only choice that is fit for Amir as she deals multiple instances of damage so breaking an enemy is much easier. Contaminated Helmet is generally good for characters that scales off defense. All of these gear can only be found in The City of Mist.

Only Use 2-Cost Non-Celestial Cards

Celestial cards will automatically activate when another card that costs 2 or more was played. It can also chain with each other that is why in this build a lot of cards are more than 2 AP to play and has the celestial tag. For this reason, cards such as Full Metal Hurricane, Overpower and Greatsword Aquila are best to use first in that order of importance with Full Metal Hurricane as the first card to play if all three are present in the hand..

Use Shield Cards After Full Metal Hurricane

Amir's metalization effect activates whenever the party gains an instance of shield. Full Metal Hurricane improves metalization by adding either an AoE effect or buffing the damage for 1 turn. Make sure to play Full Metal Hurricane first before playing shield cards to deal the most damage with her metalize.

Do note that shield gain outside of playing cards from the hand such as Magna's crystallization or Nia's G Chord card activating a card from your draw pile will not activate metalization. However, celestial card counts so Khalipe's shield gain celestial cards will activate metalization.

Always Go For Event Nodes

Random Events
Amir's best team and build requires a lot of card removal and epiphanies. Always aim for event nodes during a chaos manifestation run for a chance to remove cards or duplicate celestial cards.
