Since the Shadowblood Queen mainly runs an enfeeblement deck, we recommend using a deck that thrives on a board filled with enfeebled positions.

To win against the Shadowblood Queen, use the pre-built "Strength in Weakness" deck and then replace Cavestalker, Adjudicator, and Reapertail with 2 Chimeras, Titan, Alexander, and Gi Nittak.

Get Gi Nittak

Gi Nittak ultimately makes the Shadowblood Queen's fight more consistent and easy to pull off. To unlock Gi Nittak, you need to finish the Curse of the Gi challenge in the Card Carnival found in Costa del Sol during Chapter 12!

The challenge can be hard, so use the video provided above as a reference on how to finish it!

How to Beat the Shadowblood Queen

Counter Shadowblood Queen's Game Plan

How to Beat the Shadowblood Queen


The duel will start with the Shadowblood Queen already set in the middle. Her effect lets her scale with +3 power with every enfeebled card on the board, so she will put legendary cards on other lanes to push her pawns to your side and inflict enfeebles.

To win the duel against the Shadowblood Queen, all you have to do is to scale off Shadowblood Queen's strategy. Do so by following these strategies.

Use Mid as a Set Up Lane

FF7 Rebirth - Set Up Mid Lane
Shadowblood Queen will likely win the middle lane due to her scaling effect. Play Chimera in the mid-lane to scale off her enfeebles and counter her game plan. Chimera will grow to 14-16 in power, which will be the prime target for Gi Nittak.

Contest Top and Bottom Lane

FF7 Rebirth - Contest Top and Bottom Lane

While Chimera is scaling in the middle lane, push and contest pawns in the top and bottom lane by playing scaling cards such as Rictus, Chimera, and Alexander. Ensure more points through this part of the strategy to guarantee the last play.

If you are losing pawns, use Yin & Yang to replace a card and reclaim lost pawns.

Use Gi Nattak to Distribute Points

FF7 Rebirth - Play Gi Nattak
During the end game, replace the Chimera set in the middle using Gi Nittak to distribute 14-16 power, assuring you will have 20+ points in both the bottom and top lane. You should be able to win by 10-20 more points.

Shadowblood Queen Rewards

The Shadowblood Queen Card

FF7 Rebirth - Shadowblood Queen Card #145 | Shadowblood Queen
Raise power by 3 for each other enfeebled allied card and enemy card.

You will obtain her card and be able to slot it in any of your decks. This card is undeniably one of the strongest cards in the game as it is capable of winning a single lane when multiple enfeebles are on the board.

Blood Champion

Defeating the Shadowblood Queen signals the end of the storyline of Queen's Blood, thus you are promoted to the final rank of Blood Champion. This is a title reserved only for the masters of Queen's Blood.

I beat her with a tonberry king on the top row and midgardsormr on the bottom row. Used bomb, Marlboro, Yuffie, replace cards and fodder like heat seeker etc. I played the special witch card on the middle square as this helped but I don’t think it’s needed. She won mid with about 24, and I scored about 30 across top and bottom.

I managed to beat her by getting a sephiroth beneath the shadowblood queen card. I destroyed the card that was beneath her, then kept replacing this card to get my pawn to lv3 and use seph. Without the queen card her deck falls apart since all cards keep lowering the others.
