This is a guide on increasing Potential in Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN). Read on to learn how to advance Potential, our recommended Potentials, and how to get the relevant materials!
Because we are using an earlier build, the actual images and data may differ.
Benefits of Increasing Potential
Increases the Number of Epiphany
With the first Potential, you can gain 1 Card with an Epiphany when entering Chaos. This is useful for clearing the early stages of Chaos and will make your completed save data even more powerful.
Enhanced Card Performance
Some Potentials can also enhance a Card's performance. Since Basic Cards in particular do not trigger Epiphanies, upgrading them through Potential is important.
Status Increases
With Potential, you can also increase stats like HP and Attack. By increasing the HP of tanks or the Attack of attackers, they become more effective in their respective roles.
How to Advance Potential
Prioritize Unlocking the First Potential
The first Potential allows you to get a Card Epiphany when entering Chaos, so it has a major impact on clearing Chaos. It also requires few materials, so when using newly obtained characters, you should prioritize upgrading just the first Potential.
Focus on Card Ability Upgrades
The nodes with large circles are Potentials that raise Card or individual character abilities. Since the benefits from upgrading are significant, aim for these nodes when upgrading Potential.
Upgrading Nodes to Level 1 is Enough
When upgrading a Potential, you need to activate the prerequisite nodes before it. Since there's no need to fully upgrade the prerequisite nodes, just upgrade them to level 1 first and aim for the nodes further on.
Limit Break at the Upgrade Cap
Potential is limited by the `Promotion Stage`. If you've reached the Potential's upgrade limit, raise your level and undergo a `Promotion`.
How to Obtain Materials
Obtain from Simulation
Potential upgrade materials can be obtained from the Simulation's Potential and from Challenges.
