Chaos Zero Nightmare Partner Synergy Guide: Best Pairings and Combos for Each Class
Maximizing your power in Chaos Zero Nightmare means pairing combatants with the best possible partners, matching by class, attribute, and skill synergy. Here’s how to optimize every slot, whether you’re aiming for endgame clears or a smooth F2P climb.
Core Synergy Principles
- Always match a Partner’s attribute to your Combatant’s class/element for extra bonus stats (e.g., pairing a Passion Striker with a Fire-based Partner increases speed/damage) (LDPlayer guide, Game8 Partner System).
- Class synergy: Certain Partner skills (healing, damage boost, defense, AP generation, shield, control) work best with specific Combatant roles.
Best Synergy Combos By Class
Striker (Physical & Burst DPS)
- Top Partners: Scarlet, Priscilla, Marianne, Bria
- Synergy Tips:
- Prioritize Partners with crit rate/crit damage passives (e.g., Scarlet’s “Path to Mastery”).
- Priscilla or Marianne enhance multi-target or follow-up attacks.
- Bria is excellent for skill cycling and extra turns.
- Match element, e.g., Fire Striker with Priscilla for attack speed/damage buff.
 
- Example Combo: Main DPS (Renoa) + Scarlet (crit boost), or Renoa + Bria (skill chains).
Vanguard (Tank & Sustain)
- Top Partners: Eishlen, Zeta, Wilhelmina, Erica
- Synergy Tips:
- Look for shield/healing effects (Eishlen’s “Arcane Wave” or Erica’s “No Speeding”).
- Zeta gives poison and skill disruption; Wilhelmina is strong for tactical support and shield stacking.
- Prioritize partners with defensive ego skills for boss fights and PvP.
 
- Example Combo: Mei Lin (Vanguard) + Eishlen (max shields).
Hunter (Crit/Range DPS & Utility)
- Top Partners: Kiara, Akad, Serithea, Janet
- Synergy Tips:
- Kiara gives “Analyze Weakness” for elemental burst; Akad enables reflect/counter builds.
- Serithea and Janet are strong for control and debuff stacking.
 
- Example Combo: Kayron (Hunter) + Kiara or Akad for burst and multi-hit synergy.
Controller (AP, Stun, Utility Support)
- Top Partners: Nyx, Noel, Alyssa, Arwen, Yvonne
- Synergy Tips:
- Nyx is extremely meta: boosts team HP/Healing and increases damage after draws, currently considered best universal support (YouTube breakdown).
- Noel offers team stuns/buffs for safer play, while Alyssa excels in resource regeneration.
 
- Example Combo: Support Controller (Mika) + Nyx.
Psionic (DoT/Burst, Special Effects)
- Top Partners: Anteia, Eloise, Bria (again), Zatera
- Synergy Tips:
- Anteia for clairvoyance/evasion
- Eloise if you want reliable defense module activation
- Zatera for unique status effects and flower combos
 
Ranger (AoE & Support Hybrid)
- Top Partners: Solia, Tina, Marin, Rosaria, Daisy
- Synergy Tips:
- Solia and Tina offer spacetime and communication skills, perfect for AoE and buff stacking.
- Marin supports with shields and counterattacks; Daisy is budget but can shine early game.
 
- Example Combo: AoE clear Ranger (Lucas) + Solia (spacetime control).
Universal Meta Picks (Great With Any Class)
- Nyx: 8% HP/healing teamwide buff, extra team damage on draws, fits nearly every comp.
- Scarlet, Priscilla, Bria: Flexible skill activators for most DPS builds.
- Eishlen, Wilhelmina: Defensive tanks for any boss or simulated mode.
Leveling & Upgrading Partners
- Partners use their own XP, gained via Simulations and Ark City events.
- Prioritize partners who offer the best synergy with your main and support, duplicate pulls upgrade passive effects and can further boost their combat value (Game8 Partner List).
True Chaos Zero Nightmare mastery means more than rerolling top DPS, it’s about best-in-class partner pairings. Mix and match for attribute bonuses, match partner passives to your playstyle, and constantly upgrade for max power. Don’t ignore S/A-Tier support partners, a perfect combo can carry even average combatants to the endgame.
