Choosing the right characters and partners in Chaos Zero Nightmare makes the difference between a smooth climb and endless frustration. This launch meta tier list gives you an overview of the best combatants and top support partners to prioritize across all content, including PvE and PvP.

S-Tier Combatants (Must-Build for Every Roster)

  • Khalipe: The current meta queen, massive AoE, consistent Tenacity break, and synergy with most teams. Her cards are easy to set up, giving her strong offense and defense every turn (Game8 2025 tier list, LDShop tier list).
  • Renoa: King of boss fights; huge single-target burst with Bullet playstyle, though she needs careful setup for maximal output.
  • Mei Lin: Best-in-class support, apply Passion weakness, heal, AP acceleration, and Tenacity break. Solid core for all teams.
  • Kayron: High-impact DPS, super flexible main/sub-carry, excels in both AoE waves and bossing.
  • Cassius: Ultimate card draw machine, reshuffles, fetches key cards, and enables high-end combo play.
  • Selena: Dual DPS who marks, supports, and applies Passion weakness, crucial for Passion teams, great Mark carrier.

A-Tier Combatants (Strong, Flexible, Meta-Dependent)

  • Magna: Counterattacking tank who scales damage with defense. Great for F2P teams and pairs with shield supports.
  • Lucas: AoE Bullet DPS, applies Mark, and supports Passion comps.
  • Nia: Excellent for multi-hit support, extra attack damage, and passive healing.
  • Mika: Pure healer/AP battery, outperformed in late game but amazing for safe progression.
  • Hugo: Combo follow-up, thrives with multi-hit DPS main carries, buffs attack windows, and offers chain potential.
  • Tressa: Poison/DoT debuffer, shines in Follow-up teams; easy access for F2P.
  • Rei: Jack-of-all supports, AP cycling and Void synergy, good starter.

B-Tier Combatants (Niche or Early-Game Picks)

  • Maribell: Tank, shield and counter, simple but scales into lategame teams.
  • Beryl: Burst DPS, mostly solo, can “hold” big attacks but needs careful card saving.
  • Veronica: Ballista summoning, auto-damage, and card cycling support; sub-DPS for some comps.
  • Owen: Easy-to-play DPS filler, solid but lacks raw numbers in endgame.
  • Orlea: All-around support, shields, healing, damage hybrids, but hard to optimize.

C-Tier and Fill-in Units

  • Amir, Rin, Luke (low investment), Narja: Budget tanks or experimental DPS for early clears, replace as you pull higher metas.

Top Partner Rankings (As of October 2025)

  • Best Universal Partners:
    • Amir, Mika, Magna, Veronica: AP gain, healing, shields, and counter support, synergize well with almost all S/A-tiers (YouTube Overview, Gamezebo partner tier list).
    • Cassius, Kayron, Mei Lin: Boost main DPS chains and card cycles; top picks for boss and auto content.
    • Lucas, Maribel, Tressa: F2P-friendly, good for bullet/DoT/Mark teams or boosting lower rarity carry units.

Key Tier List Principles

  • Prioritize S-tier DPS/carry units with easy combos and high AP cycling.
  • Pair with partners that naturally match element and boost main skill rotations.
  • Swap out early supports for better AP, healing, or card draws as your roster deepens.

Meta teams in Chaos Zero Nightmare are built around S-tier main carries, supported by AP, healing, and card cycling partners. Khalipe, Mei Lin, and Renoa headline the core picks, but every S/A-Tier listed here will let you clear all content and stay competitive at launch.
