Team Party Basics
A Balanced Team Setup Is Ideal

A solid starting team is an Attacker, a Healer, and a Shield. If you’re new or unsure about your setup, try this combo first.
Sample Party Formation
| All Around Team Composition | ||
TressaAttacker | MikaHeal | MagnaShield |
Combine your starter Attacker and Healer with a Shield character such as Magna or Maribell. This easy-to-build team works well in the early game and is perfect for new players.
| Note! | If you don't have a Shield character, it's also recommended to use a 5-star character obtained from the Rescue as a substitute. |

Party Formation Tips
Key Points for Team Building
- - Include at least one Attacker
- - Include one Healer or a character with strong healing abilities
- - For the final slot, choose a sub-damage dealer, Shield, or support character
Include a Main Damage Dealer

When setting up your party, make sure to include a DPS unit with strong Attack output. If your damage feels insufficient, check your Save Data enhancements and character growth progress, then optimize accordingly to boost your overall damage efficiency.
Check the Enemy Attribute Weakness

Use an Attacker that exploits the stage’s Weak Attribute to deal more damage. This also helps you gain more AP when breaking the enemy’s Tenacity, making battles more consistent and easier to clear.
Best Attacker Characters
| Character | Recommendation |
Tressa | [★4] Owned from the start - Excellent additional damage from Agony - Low Cost |
Haru | [★5] Obtained from Rescue - Can deal high damage with Anchor Shot - Also has Upgrade and Search Cards |
Mei Lin | [★5] Obtained from Rescue - High single-target damage - She has many moves and is easy to use |
Include Combatant with Healing Ability

Include Combatants such as Orlea or Mika who have multiple Heal (Recovery) Cards. This lets you restore HP when it’s low, helping secure a more stable clear.
Best Healer Characters
| Character | Recommendation |
Mika | [★4] Owned from the start - The Combatant with the highest healing performance - Can also recover AP |
Orlea | [★5] Obtained from Rescue - She can contribute as a sub-damage dealer in addition to healing - Can apply a retain effect to Cards |
Nia | [★4] Obtained from Rescue - In addition to healing, she can also draw and manipulate the deck - Can Upgrade allies' Extra Attacks |
Adjust the Final Slot to Fit Your Team

For the last slot, select a sub-damage dealer, Shield, or support Combatant. The best choice depends on your formation, so consider synergy with your Attacker and Healer units to build a well-balanced team.
Best Support Characters
| Character | Recommendation |
Owen | [★4] Owned from the start - Increases damage dealt by applying Vulnerable - Well-balanced performance |
Khalipe | [★5] Obtained from Rescue - Can contribute to damage while providing a Shield - Has abundant AoE Attacks |
Magna | [★5] Obtained from Rescue - Can continuously provide a Shield - Can also contribute damage with Counterattacks |
Best Team Compositions
Weakness-Exploiting Setups
These are compositions that prioritize including characters of the Weak Attributes to deal damage efficiently. It's easy to aim for Ravage and secure AP, allowing for stable gameplay.
| Note! | In CZN, there are no effects for increased damage taken or reduced damage dealt based on Weak Attributes. |
Passion-Attribute Team Party
| Passion Team Composition | ||
Mei LinMain Damage | SelenaSupport | MaribellShield |
A formation composed of Passion-attribute Combatants. If you don't have Mei Lin, it's also recommended to use Veronica as the main damage dealer.
Void-Attribute Team Party
| Void Team Composition | ||
KayronMain Damage | ReiSupport | MikaHeal |
A formation where Rei and Mika support Kayron. Although Mika is a Justice-attribute character, she is included because her high healing performance can stabilize the team's durability.
Instinct-Attribute Team Party
| Instinct Team Composition | ||
KhalipeShield | OrleaMain Damage | NiaHeal + Support |
A formation composed of Instinct-attribute Combatants. This composition focuses on outputting damage by taking advantage of Orlea's damage-up effect, so be sure to adjust her Save Data with content that makes it easy to increase her damage.
Order-Attribute Team Party
| Order Formation | ||
HugoMain Damage | MikaHeal | AmirShield |
Currently, there are few Order-attribute Combatants, making it difficult to build a balanced formation. We have Amir in the Shield slot, but it's also recommended to replace her with Magna or Maribell, who can provide higher Durability.
Justice-Attribute Team Party
| Justice Formation | ||
BerylMain Damage | MagnaShield + Sub Damage | MikaHeal |
A formation composed of Justice-attribute Combatants like Magna, Beryl, and Mika. If you have Haru, you can achieve even higher damage by replacing Beryl with her.
Team Synergy Setups
These are formations that emphasize synergy between Combatants. In the early stages of the game, there are many situations that can be cleared sufficiently with just a composition mindful of synergy effects, making it an easy party-building method for beginners.
Celestial Synergy Formation
| Haru Attacker Team Party | ||
HaruMain Damage | MikaHeal | KhalipeShield + Synergy |
A team setup with Haru as the main Attacker. Since Haru's Cost is high, it's also easier to activate Khalipe's Celestial.
Commence the Hunt Synergy Formation
| Commence the Hunt Synergy Team Party | ||
HugoMain Damage | MikaHeal | TressaSub Damage + Synergy |
A formation that combines Hugo with Combatants who can use many 0-cost Cards. You can aim for high damage by utilizing the "Commence the Hunt" synergy. Besides Tressa, it's also recommended to use other Combatants who can create 0-cost Cards, such as Mei Lin.
Bullet Synergy Formation
| Bullet Synergy Team Party | ||
LukeMain Damage | MikaHeal | LucasSub Damage + Synergy |
A formation that combines Luke and Lucas, who can both create Bullet Cards. Since both of them possess Cards with bullet-related effects, they can exhibit high synergy while buffing each other.
