Mastering Chaos Zero Nightmare’s PvE endgame means more than pulling meta units, you need synergy, smart deck upgrades, and tactical boss-fight mechanics. This guide covers elite team building, Breakdown and Mental Stress management, advanced card/combo chains, and critical boss tips for 2025!

Team Building & Synergy

  • Core Roles: Always run a dedicated main DPS, a synergistic support/healer (Mika, Serithea, Janet), and a utility/flex partner for AP cycling or buff stacking.​
  • Attribute Matching: Partner and combatant attributes should be matched to squeeze out bonus passives (e.g., matching Void, Instinct, Passion).​
  • Universal F2P Builds: Tressa + Mika are fantastic for sustain/DoT, Maribell for beginner tank, and Cassius or Selena for draw/chain builds.​

Key Combat Mechanics

Breakdown Gauge:

  • Fill the gauge with multi-hit, Tenacity Break, Bullet, or Void skills.
  • Once the gauge breaks, all damage is amplified, always time nuke attacks for this window.​

Mental Stress (MS) & Epiphany:

  • Stack low-cost chains to ramp MS; carefully trigger Epiphany just before unleashing boss bursts for doubled passives and special effects.​
  • Avoid Overload, excess stress triggers harsh penalties (lost turns, reduced healing/defense).

Card Strategy & Deck Optimization

  • Rotate draw-heavy decks (Bria, Cassius) with cost-reduction partners for constant hand cycling and minimal downtime.​
  • Use controller-class discard/redraw mechanics to gain Epiphany faster and chain burst skills in Breakdown windows.
  • Prioritize deck upgrades evenly; a weak deck undermines burst potential even with strong units.

Boss Fight Tips

  • Wailing Prodigal:
    • Always hit the boss as many times each turn as he gets “Flem stacks.” Each stack reduces damage, stack hits to clear, then go all out once he becomes vulnerable.​
  • Soul Collector:
    • Prioritize AoE to clear adds quickly; bring antidotes or debuff cleansers for bleed/poison fights.​
  • General Tips:
    • Save ultimates and highest-damage cards for Breakdown phase.
    • Use defensive skills and partner AP cycling to manage stress and avoid Overload during prolonged battles.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t run triple DPS, lack of healing means wipes on long bosses.
  • Don’t ignore partner synergy; always choose buffers/cyclers that amplify your main DPS.
  • Don’t waste cards during Epiphany; manage hand size for efficient chains and combo timing.​
