Inspiration is a keyword in Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN) that activates after being drawn via an ability outside of natural draw at turn start. See what Inspiration means, how it works and how it relates to combat!

List of Contents

How Does Inspiration Work



Activates After Being Drawn by a Card, Ego Skill or Passive Effects

Inspiration effects activate when drawn via a card such as Veronica's Repose, drawn via Ego Skill like Lillian's or drawn via passive effects such as the Dark Grip enemy attacks.

Does Not Activate When Naturally Drawn at Turn Start

Inspiration will not activate if the card was drawn at turn start. The only way to activate it in the same turn is to either discard or move the card back to the draw pile and redraw it again.

Multiple Inspiration Activation Does Not Work

Yuki's Trickery Strike card can activate an inspiration effect in hand. However, it will not activate a card that already has an Inspiration activated. For example, Flash Slash has an inspiration effect of reducing its cost by 1 AP. Since it has already been activated, the cost now is 1 AP but if you use Trickery Strike to try and reactivate, it will stay at 1 AP.
