Chizuru's best build focuses on stacking hits using multiple copies of Tsukuyomi on her Shadow of the Moon card after a few turns to deal massive damage in one turn after Rei and Cassius help boosts her damage.
She is best suited with the 2/2/2 set consisting of Black Wing, Seth's Scarab and Executioner's Tool to further enhance her damage output. While her favored chaos zone is Laboratory 0 to get her best equipment such as Mutant Predator Spike and Emblem of an Exceptional Entity that adds 30% damage amount to her cards.

Rei
|
Cassius
|
Chizuru's best team is Rei and Cassius. Rei can help Chizuru deal more damage due to how low the multipliers of her attack cards in exchange for more hits. Cassius can help draw cards for Chizuru to ensure that she can cycle through her deck to help stack more hits for her Shadow of the Moon. He can also provide more Will-O'-Wisp stacks with his Triple 0 or Triple 1 and provide more damage buffs with Straight.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
Veronica
|
Veronica can substitute Cassius or Rei as a Support/Sub-DPS. She can provide more card draw at the cost of losing damage buffs if you swap her as a Sub-DPS or make card draw consistent at the cost of slow stacking of Will-O'-Wisp if you swap her as a Support. |
Tressa
|
Tressa can substitute Rei as a Sub-DPS but only if Mika is included as a Support. She can help Chizuru with Will-O'-Wisp stacks using her Shadow Daggers. |
Mika
|
Mika can substitute Cassius as a Support but only if Tressa is included as a Sub-DPS. She can provide healing for Tressa for more Shadow Dagger generation. |

Chizuru's build revolves around stacking a lot of hits for Shadow of the Moon when using Tsukuyomi while dishing out decent damage with Oni Hunt during downtime. Ideally, she only needs to use one Shadow of the Moon to defeat most boss in one turn once she stacked enough hits.
Karmic Flames with the exhaust tag ensures that it will thin her deck and helps draw more Tsukuyomi in future turns. While Bound at Dusk can be useful for card discounts, if you built your other characters with AP recovery on their cards it is better off removed from her deck.
Your target for duplication is Tsukuyomi for more stacks of hit, decreasing the amount of turns needed to setup her Shadow of the Moon. Oni Hunt is a viable alternative but make sure to have enough AP recovery to use multiple copies of it.

Rei's cards and epiphanies should focus on buffing Chizuru's multi-hit attack cards to help deal more damage per hit and eventually provide a massive damage boost to Shadow of the Moon once it has enough hits stacked. You should look to copy either Dark Condensation or Predator's Blade for more damage boosts every turn.
Cassius' should pick epiphanies that lets him draw cards for free and activate the quest plus Dice Trick combo to get more card draw and sometimes morale buffs if you get the Straight quest card. He should have multiple copies of Dice Trick to get more quest cards that can either help with card draw, more attack cards or morale buffs.

Bound at Dusk will always inflict a status called Inhibit to your team every turn. It stops your team from gaining AP outside of the natural 3 AP at turn start or 1 AP from ravaging an enemy and provides 1 more additional hit to her Sword of the Moon cards.
If you have cards that restores AP when used, make sure that Bound at Dusk is never used, removed or exhausted especially by Rin to be able to gain AP.
Even if you don't have Sword of the Moon in your hand, draw pile, discard pile or exhaust pile, it will still keep track of all the added hits given by Tsukuyomi and will apply to future Sword of the Moon when it is created after.
Chizuru's Karmic Flames inflicts Cursed Shackles to one enemy making it possible to get 1 stack of Will-O'-Wisp for every 1 instance of damage the enemy receives. For example, if an ally has an attack that hits twice, Chizuru will gain 2 stacks of Will-O'-Wisps.
The in-game tooltip implies that Cursed Shackles will only work on ally attacks however, Chizuru's attacks will still stack Will-O'-Wisp per hit.
One of Chizuru's builds revolves around stacking hits across multiple turns then buffing its damage amount as much as possible before using it to deal massive amounts of damage to a single-target. To do this, you need to have these requirements first:
