Chaos Zero Nightmare Card Deck Building Guide

Craft powerful card decks tailored to each character in Chaos Zero Nightmare. This guide covers deck building principles, best decks by character, and optimization strategies.

Deck Building Principles

Card Ratio (Attack/Defense/Support)

Optimal ratio: 50% attack, 30% support, 20% defense. Adjust based on content (more defense for bosses, more attack for farming).

Curve Optimization

Balance energy costs. Include low-cost cards (1 energy) for consistent play and high-cost cards (3 energy) for power spikes.

Deck Size

12-15 cards is optimal. Smaller decks cycle faster, larger decks offer more variety.
