| Note: Tiphera's performance significantly improves if her card has Draw 1 Divine Epiphany. | ||
Tiphera's best build focuses on generating Archetype: ○ and exhausting cards to help Kayron scale much faster while providing him enough AP to use his expensive cards. This will ensure that if you can use all your cards then you can at least exhaust up to 9 Futility per turn and still have the AP to use his Black Hole.
For her Memory Fragments, our setup works best with a 4/2 set using Glory's Reign to provide a 15% multiplicative damage buff to the party after generating or exhausting skill cards for and Tetra's Authority for more healing and shield she provides for the team alongside increasing the damage of her defense-based attack cards.
Her favored chaos zone is Burning Life to get her best equipment such as Tentacles of Chaos for an 8% additional attack stat to all her allies but can only be obtained after defeating Senectus. Vine Lord's Mask to get 80% fixed shield up to 2 times when drawing exhaust cards and Shining World Tree Stem to increase her healing output on all her cards by 25% multiplicatively.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Support |
|---|---|
Kayron
|
Veronica
|
Tiphera's best team is Kayron and Veronica. Tiphera helps exhaust Futility for Kayron so he can scale much faster while providing AP for him with Archetype: ○. Veronica will help draw cards for the team as both of them lack it especially if they don't have a divine epiphany.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
Orlea
|
Orlea can replace Veronica as a Support. She offers a consistent amount of multiplicative buffs for Kayron but she lacks card draw and hand space due to the amount of retain cards she creates. |
Nine
|
Nine can replace Kayron as the Main DPS. She can deliver the same high single-target damage with her Hew and can synergize well with Tiphera's cards depending on if she needs more AP, more damage or exhaust support. However, unlike Kayron, her damage will not scale and after a few turns Kayron will start doing more than her. |
Beryl
|
Bery can replace Veronica as a Support. She can draw cards with Guilty Pleasure and can synergize well with Contaminated Spore which helps Kayron deal more damage. |
Nia
|
Nia can replace Veronica as a Support. Her main goal in this party is to draw cards from a specific character and discard to help give space in your hand. However, she cannot buff Kayron's damage aside from her manifest ego and her most powerful build, Eternal Hunger, cannot be used for Season 2 content. |
Cassius
|
Cassius can replace Veronica as a Support. He can provide card draw with his quest cards and help ease your hand with discards. He can also heal and give additive damage buffs through Morale however he is incapable of AP recovery and multiplicative damage buffs. |

Tiphera can easily generate her creation cards through Quantum Seed but is inconsistent. To lessen it, she can choose epiphanies for it especially the second epiphany so that you have the ability to select any of the three cards and create two copies, one in your hand and another in your draw pile.
Next is Form Covergence, this card helps her draw her created archetype cards but for this build, the best epiphany is the one that exhaust cards and draw that many based on how many you exhausted which is perfect for this build.
As for Dual Creation, the best epiphany for it is the upgraded version that only adds the Initiation tag. This will help Tiphera guarantee to create 1 more Archetype: ○ in the discard pile whenever she uses Quantum Seed and will also help activate it much earlier.
Lastly, it is best to remove Creation and Destruction rather than keeping it as she is best used in this build for support. You can replace it with Ebony Lumen for more card draw and another card you can select to exhaust.

Kayron needs specifics number of cards so that Tiphera can make use of it perfectly. For that, you need the epiphany for Echo of Futility that reduces its costs to 0 AP but can still scale and generate two futility and make sure you have 3 copies of this card. Next is Brand of Annihilation, either the epiphany that has a 7 AP original cost or the 1 AP version that scales on how many cards you exhausted for that turn.
For Black Hole, he needs to have the epiphany that increases its base damage based on how many Futility you exhausted alongside having two copies. This is your main source of high damage. Lastly, Oath of Vanity must be the epiphany that provides the highest amount of damage and healing for your Futility for more survivability options. You can also remove it if you are confident with Tiphera's healing output.
As for Veronica, all you really need on her is the 0 AP Repose to draw 2 cards from other combatants and a draw 2 epiphany for Sir Kowalski but not the epiphany that also creates a ballista after drawing a skill card to make sure that you do not clog your hand.

Tiana
|
Passive Effect: Phase Alignment - Increase the assigned Combatant's Defense by 8-16% When the assigned Combatant creates 3 Exhaust cards, increase Damage Amount of the next Attack Card of allies used by 15-30% (max 2 stacks).

Tiphera's best partner is Tiana her twin sister! Not only can she increase Tiphera's defense stat, she can also provide various buffs such as multiplicate damage after exhausting 3 cards and a critical chance buff when you specifically used a shield and a heal order card. Her ego skill can also be used to draw more exhaust cards and give other ego skills a discount.
| Partner | Explanation |
|---|---|
Nyx
|
If you do not have access to Tiana but can buy a battlepass, then Nyx is your next choice. She can provide defense, health and heal amount to Tiphera and can give the team an additive damage buff after drawing a card per turn. Her ego skill can also provide discard and draw for the party. |
Alyssa
|
If you don't have both 5 star Controller partners, your next best choice is Alyssa. She can provide the highest defense stat at max manifest ego and can give the party healing at battle end. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Glory's Reign Set Glory's Reign Set When generating or using Exhaust Skill Cards, +5% to Damage Amount of all allies (max 15%) |
Tetra's Authority Set Tetra's Authority Set +12% Defense |
Tiphera's best memory fragment sets are Glory's Reign which is perfectly built for her so that she can provide a 15% multiplicative damage buff after generating or exhausting a skill card up to three times. Your next best choice is Tetra's Authority for more defense stat to gain more shield and heal more HP as she doesn't really do any attacks in this build.
| Main Stats | Recommended Substats |
|---|---|
|
Ideal: Health % Desire: Health % Imagination: Defense % |
・Defense
・Defense % ・Health ・Health % ・Ego Recovery |
Her main and sub stats choices must all be defensive such as Health, Defense and Ego Recovery due to how all of her cards in this build are entirely supportive. Try to reach at least 300 defense so that you can activate the requirement for her last node to give your party a 10% critical damage buff which is a powerful buff to obtain.

Some of Tiphera's best equipment can only be found in Burning Life with Psionic Combat Suit providing 30% fixed shield after exhausting cards. Shining World Tree Stem to increase the healing output of her cards by 25% multiplicatively including her Archetypes to increase her survivability options.
Lastly, Tentacles of Chaos is great for her as it will give 8% attack stat to her allies. However, this equipment can only be obtained after defeating Senectus.
As for your choice of Refinements, your best choice for her revolves around drawing exhaust cards or increasing the amount of her shield gain and heal amount so that she can protect the party on her own.
| Weapon | Accessory |
|---|---|
Harp of Conflict Harp of Conflict For 1 turn, when each of Damage, Shield, and Heal has been activated through cards by allies, increase Damage Amount of allies by 15% for 1 turn |

This will let you increase the party's damage by 15% multiplicatively after doing a heal, damage and shield in one turn and enhance the next attack card you use by 20% multiplicative after Tiphera generates 5 skill cards which she can easily achieve.
| Weapon | Armor | Accessory |
|---|---|---|
Flashbang Flashbang At the start of battle, apply 3 Weaken to a random enemy |
Titan Combat Suit Titan Combat Suit When taking Damage, Recover 2% HP (1 per turn) |
Absolute Zero Tetrahedron Absolute Zero Tetrahedron At the start of battle, +20% Shield |
If you aren't able to get the best, you can settle for these equipment that can be found in any chaos zones inside shops. Flashbang to inflict three stacks of weaken to the enemies at the start of the battle. Titan Combat Suit for a small healing after getting hit once per turn and Absolute Zero Tetrahedron for a +20% additive shield gain to all her shield cards.
