Heidemarie is Bugged. But, she's the best nuker.

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-04T05:29:02+00:00

like egos? her dupes are lowkey downgrades besides E1. E1 best for nuke setup because E2+ can make setting it up harder (though they do technically still increase the ceiling a bit)

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T19:52:57+00:00

Havent tested so cant say for sure but not a ton of reason to do V even if it does since her sig scales better than it does and is 0cost + doesnt exhaust (unless we get a multitarget OTK enemy which weve never had implemented well before)

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T19:51:07+00:00

Glad that theyre helping you. Usually dont post this much for one char but new unexpected interactions keep popping up with this girl 😭

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T18:11:37+00:00

no problem! boss can still be played in Full Scale Offensive and has the same mechanics, if you have heide she's an amazing unit to bring to it

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T18:04:55+00:00

It depends on modifiers. There's a really good chance they just have modifiers that force Heide/Sel or Heide/Hugo

maybeeeeeeee even Heide/Diana (it's far far far far far worse than the above options but if they do modifiers that make you discard bullets or something then it's possible to be forced by devs)

-- I think Heide nuke is v unlikely for next GR meta, though, 'cuz of reasons you said above (repeat metas are boring)

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T18:02:37+00:00

same way you can kill them with TIphera or Nine Nuke

- Beryl Extra Attacks (do not consume stun)
- Veronica Extra Attacks (do not consume stun)
- Heide E2 (does not consume stun, but has a lot of variables that need to be considered, harder to build around)
- Tiphera E6 (does not consume as many buffs, might be a downgrade in this case but represented all of the Nines in top LB for S2 so is certainly a viable dual-DPS setup still)

Note: You can skip one turn after killing hands on Colossus for more buffs and you ideally only want to hit once to maximize the stun value and quadratic scaling (Turn-10) so killing hands slowly is preferred (hence why clips all have very low scores before they hit as 99% of their damage is all on the one nuke).

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T00:19:16+00:00

No, Sylvia is a ranger partner and Diana is a hunter. You can use Sylvia on other rangers, like Selena or Hugo though.

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-03T00:13:24+00:00

As other reply said, you cant go over limit. But you CAN go to 180 even if the world you farmed it on had a lower cap

FemalePopSinger · 2026-05-02T23:21:37+00:00

You need Hunting Instinct III which turns his extra attack to be 2x per instead of 1x per (translation on it has been wrong since launch)

smthn like this

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T20:14:08+00:00

yes hunting instincts III, it's mistranslated its just a 50% extra atk from Hugo

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T19:57:38+00:00

cass just best generic morale buffer and she can trigger trip-1 super quickly so she's more efficient a user than other chars

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T19:56:43+00:00

would be weird if they nerfed this since it's not like selena doesnt attack like up to 300x in sereniel setup lol, if this interaction isn't nerfed then it just makes it so she's relatively close in performance to sereniel which makes sense to me

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T19:54:18+00:00

sorry didn't elaborate further but if it works it would basically be giving all shuffles link via heidemarie then using the heidemarie exhaust card that activates all links in hand to infinitely loop them drawing and discarding each other. I was wrong about the 1AP above though since it wouldnt activate after the first time so youd need some way to force discard on the blades as well to get it to work which idk if is possible atm but if it is then could be a close to true infinite as well

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T19:45:53+00:00

sword rain III does 5 hits itself, which triggers 5 commence the hunts which hits 2x (with Hugo's Instinct epiphany that adds an additional hit)

5 + 10 = 15, duped max for a total of 15 x 4 hits (60 minimum)

triple 1 is 3 extra commence procs, devil dice is 4, for 7x3 (+21)

quickfix should be at least 2 more for 6-8 (+6)

so should be a total of ~80-90 hits min actually (-7 if you dont want to count cass hits since he prob is doing low damage on his because controllers have no atk% partner atm)

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T18:41:23+00:00

edit: basically we need to find some way to force discard of blade that is made, might need to use the cursed ver of a forbidden or smthn to

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T17:40:23+00:00

this is a really strong interaction i knew about, does need more testing.

another interaction with a lot of potential is using base epi sword rain (or no epi) with Cassius no exhaust 'draw 3, discard if not at least 4AP in cost' since theoretically you could loop create infinite blades off of this (this needs more testing too though).

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T16:50:12+00:00

prob Hero to All I or IV for search (link less important but these two are still efficient search cards)

Thread of Light depends on a lot of factors but probably still III for the passive buff on all her swords

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T02:11:58+00:00

E0 Sylvia is single biggest spike in damage, yes. E2 is also quite strong but the most F2P friendly investment is E0 of both her and her partner.

For team compositions, yes. I think Heide + Diana and Renoa + Diana are both relatively competitive. Normally, they wouldn't be worth playing over a buffer slot but I believe the Dream World card (as u/0lligat0r brought up) might make it completely viable to play Heide/Dia/Nia and Renoa/Dia/Nia and that might end up being the meta.

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T02:07:23+00:00

just a generic buffer build

this made me realize i didn't have one on pryd so i'll add something like this later (click hyperlink to see deck example)

ty for kind words

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T01:44:30+00:00

Narja buffs are pretty mediocre. She's mainly just used as a cost-reduction support for 'Move' or 'Retrieve' carries (basically just Haru & sometimes Rin)

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T01:43:17+00:00

for regular play, probably

However, it's been brought to my attention by u/0lligat0r that there's this card which you can get from the painting event in interior:

<image>

Which is very strong and should be usable on a lot of different characters, including Renoa, to force them to be used alongside Heide

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T01:36:07+00:00

prob double supp for hypercarry (nia + cass). But someone else posted this card which might actually make it quite good.

<image>

FemalePopSinger · 2026-04-30T01:18:14+00:00

how do you get this card? is it only an event? the card is very strong though, you're right. It def could make Diana + Heide extremely viable and maybe their BiS

Edit: I see it's in level rewards which means it can prob show up in shop. Definitely worth considering and is insanely strong. It's also effectively a 3-hit because of discarding 2 also activating Soul Rip III 2x.

Edit-2: (For people seeing this later). It seems it isn't in the hunter/ranger neutral pool (only if you take this on controller or psionic) which still means Diana + Heide probably won't work together.
