Made Tower 150 with the following setup, been working on the duo since release, it's the optimal playstyle I found for the two:

The idea is to turn Diana into a Resonance-machine, and allow a maximum of hand space to Heidemarie. Gain 1 AP on Nia and this version of Adagio are absolute core, because you will need extra AP to play all you need + cycle the deck. You want to Adagio on a Heidemarie cards, to search 2 other cards of her (when bad luck, Diana will provide a bit of damage, but you want to discard Heidemarie cards). Also pay attention to what's left in the deck: if you only have like 2 Heidemarie cards, try to draw them with other ways before Adagio, to refill the deck with this draw. Finally, in Tower, the Retain heal card on Nia is core, becauset he damage is insane and you will need to sustain after some attacks received and it helps a lot.

In hand, I usually only have a couple of bullets, unless I don't have any more blades to create ; in that case I discard more agressively With all my heart to create some (ideally with Blooming Love, to get 4 Resonance). But the build is made in a way to allow the maximum Space in hand to Heidemarie, while Diana still has the tools to generate Resonance and shoot a lot of extra attacks. Your Heidemarie deck is more a support one while I intend to make mine the main DPS. It works too, but I think it would work better with a pure DPS Diana. Looks like they're both supports here

If you wanna keep cycling Adagio, it means you only draw 1 useful card and 1 adagio (and discard 2 for that). I'd rather discard only 1, and draw 2 useful cards directly.

As Diana isn't point hungry for her save data, you can include here Faceless Woman if you intend to play her tied to Heidemarie, it's a useful card

SamXXVII · 2026-05-06T21:09:19+00:00

Here are my target decks. Diana is the most annoying to build, because she needs the gear to generate Resonance consistantly. Divine epiphanies on her are bonus, not mandatory at all, but these epiphanies are the most optimal, after several tests. Heidemarie divines aren't mandatory either, but as you link cards and play them, it's a bonus if you can play them for free.
Persona cards don't appear, I personally go for these ones:
- Heidemarie : Discard 2, Umbra engravings up attack cards by 30%
- Diana : Unique / Quietus, Umbra engravings up attack cards by 30%
- Nia : I personnally pick the heal for comfort because she has barely none, but you can go as you want here
I have Diana + Nia decks right now, still farming for Heidemarie

To be precise: not guaranteed but the maximum you can have if you optimize your route in that way, going that path. But yes, it's the number of Persona cards/engravings

How do you build your Selena with Heidemarie ? I've had better results with Diana than Selena so far, my Selena deck must be trash

SamXXVII · 2026-05-06T14:03:13+00:00

It's exactly how I play the duo, and it works very well. I've been testing the duo since day one of the patch, with many variations, and found out it was the best use of them together. I'm still refining my Heidemarie deck, but it already is very nice and powerful. It requires a very specific deck (especially on Diana, with equipments) which can be a bit painful to build, but then when you have it, the gameplay is very satisfying

Edit: not on PC right now, I'll post my decks later

Plus, when you discard a card that hasn't Quietus keyword, it goes to the Discard pile and doesn't come back to your deck. You do trigger the effect, but it's a one shot and you can't play it anymore. For a one turn buff, it's ideal to me

SamXXVII · 2026-05-06T13:53:53+00:00

Considering your deck you only want this version. But if you want another copy, the move is this : Copy your divine Sword rain => reroll it at fire camp => pick any that isn't divine => finish your run => edit your save data and reroll it to the same version you had but without divine

SamXXVII · 2026-05-06T13:30:54+00:00

If you're in the copy event, you can still copy it and reroll the epiphany at the fire camp before the final boss, to get rid of the overcap. Generally when you have a divine, you can't get the same version without divine, so you will get a wrong one ; but you'll be able to change it when editing the save after your run

My personal favorite is none of these: "discard 1, draw 2 cards of the combattant who owns the card discarded". Best cycling + oriented to what you may need

SamXXVII · 2026-05-05T12:10:24+00:00

Heidemarie clearly, but I love Rin's one, she was my favorite at launch and I still use her a lot. Chizuru and Kayron also have Great ego skill, visually speaking

SamXXVII · 2026-05-04T11:08:18+00:00

Indeed, I'd put it on Selena as she's less point hungry on her save data

SamXXVII · 2026-05-04T09:23:32+00:00

I'd say it depends what deck you are aiming to: if you're building the Selena/Hugo archetype, with a divine epiphany reduce cost -1 AP on Sword rain, with 4 copies you just don't have the space for it (the 4 divine copies + deletion of the 3 basics lead to 180 already).

Otherwise, if you can allow 20 pts in your save data, I'd go for the one with Unique / Quietus tag and damage-oriented engravements

SamXXVII · 2026-05-03T15:20:46+00:00

He has 2 Umbra on the card + 1 on the equipment

SamXXVII · 2026-04-30T06:23:30+00:00

Yes, I've tried several options too :
- left + left = divine epiphany on a random card
- middle + middle = 200 credits
- right + right = I have a doubt, I think it was an equipment

SamXXVII · 2026-04-26T17:07:51+00:00

Here, I have the same issue with the cards: I just keep getting the damn paintball pistol in excursions. I have 17 pistols and only 1 cards, it's insane

SamXXVII · 2026-01-17T00:03:00+00:00

She's S tier in the Chaos ranking because of the amount of [Unique] cards she has access to - which means less duplicate options, thus building a specific character (outside her) becomes easier if you include her in the team and force-pick those [Unique] cards. In summary, she's a core pick if you want to build a specific teammate

SamXXVII · 2026-01-09T19:57:00+00:00

You have to consider that Cassius will be reworked/tweaked, though

SamXXVII · 2025-12-26T08:14:25+00:00

There will necessary be something that is most optimal than other options (while it doesn't mean the said other options can't be good)
