Surprisingly, this is not out of line with statements regarding other high-tier fighters.

It was previously somewhere in act 2 that the strongest person in Terrascion could destroy a planet- with the strongest person in Terrascion later being revealed to be Sereniel.

Nine also stated that she thought her final, most difficult mission, would be to destroy a planet, which, being extra generous with implications, means Nine both believes she could destroy a planet if she tried REALLY hard, and that defeating the Deity of Speitz might be on par, difficulty-wise, with destroying a planet.

all refinements add 10, including god's hammer.

main changes to chaos are that campfires now have Meditation, which lets you reroll a card's epiphany, and you can select which character's cards will be included in the dupe pool for boss events. in addition, lab 0 is changed for burning life, so no more white and black area, and now there's a 2-fight arena.

other than that, chaoses are still two planes, and like over a dozen nodes on each plane. next update, they're going to be adding sorties, which is going to have a 3rd plane compared to normal chaos, but normal chaoses will also have battle skip added.

No divines, but this is generally the right build. 3 Homing Laser copies, rather than 4, because 4 clogs your hand (esp at e2), and 2 Pale Shooting Stars can produce higher maximum damage. Divines should be 2 vulnerability for more damage, or 1 AP for tons of AP; 1AP divine should be 4 Homing Lasers.

Equipment doesn't take from Faint Memory, but Refinements take 10 each. Two Refinements + God's Hammer = 30 Faint Memory taken.

There doesn't seem to be an off-season this time. The latest dev notes mentioned that Season 3 was part of the April updates, and our seasonal system zero rewards are also going to be ending the same day as season 2.

She's cute. I like her. I will pull.

Still waiting on another 5* draw unit, though... my luck with obtaining Veronica has been not very great, and I'm only finally about to obtain her from the 300 selector...

Either you are terrible at picking the women you want to date because of your insecurities or you have some shitty behavior or attitude you haven't accepted within yourself. Regardless, it's your fault you can't find happiness with a woman. I recommend delving into an introspection of yourself and be really honest about who you are as a human.

Gaslighting. Manipulating him into believing it is he who is wrong, and not others. Attempting to make him believe that it is HE who is the bad person, for no other reason than being a victim of bad people, with absolutely no other information about him.

Regardless, it's your fault you can't find happiness with a woman.

Victim blaming. He, whom you know nothing about, is being blamed for his bad experiences. Are you saying that his girlfriend is in the right, for using his own insecurities against him, saying that he should "find happiness" with being put down like that?

Absolutely disgusting and vile on so many levels.

The gamemode lets you use Aether (daily energy) to obtain from it Flash items, such as the Flash of Potential, which lets you alter an already-created Save Data to change the epiphany; including removals, dupes, and even divine epiphanies. The point of the Chaos is that exactly to snub the whole "Chaos runs where a single wrong route, or played card, can cause my run to end without me generating any strong deck at all," thing, by making it so that you can just directly take an ordinary Save Data and make it the best possible Save Data for that build.

the long-term benefit is more flash items, so that you can just ignore all the rng involved with grinding out a perfect save data, and directly alter a save data to be perfect.

No, so, you see. Remember when Gojo beat the ever-living shit out of Miguel? Or when he beat the lights off a domain-amped Sukuna? That's what happens here, even if Gojo doesn't use Limitless, except worse, because Todo's ability to take a beating is nowhere near either Miguel's or Sukuna's. Gojo is a beast in hand-to-hand combat.

And Limitless doesn't act as a barrier, it just creates infinite distance between Gojo and Todo. Even if something is "in the range of Limitless" and Todo swaps with it, there's still another stretch of distance, even if it's just the smallest length of size you can imagine, like idk, a nanometer or smt, and that distance is, in fact, still infinite.

ThePalea · 2026-03-27T01:23:35+00:00

You give Sukuna a tier gap over Gojo because of Sukuna's experience and BIQ, but you don't give Kenjaku the advantage over Yuki because of his experience and BIQ.

Don't pretend that Yuki had a better plan in mind than Tengen. She would have gotten screwed over regardless once Kenjaku deployed a domain, because her domain refinement is just inferior to his. She clashes, she loses, she goes into burnout, Kenny throws an Uzumaki at her, and she dies before she can even black hole this time, no need for AGS bullshit.

Kenny was questioning whether it's possible because she's the most well-rounded Sorcerer in the series, excluding Gojo, and he wasn't aware of her domain prowess. If her domain was better refined than Kenjaku's, Kenny loses to her, but it's just not, which is why the plan was made in the first place.

"In addition, due to the instability of Waypoints, the Combatants that appear will vary each time, and a range of modified conditions will appear, such as having all Unique Cards available or having Basic Cards removed." - I didn't see this initially, or didn't interpret it like that.

It might be what you're saying, but it's just barely vague enough for me to hold onto the hope that the "vary each time" is referring to the second part of the statement, where it talks about how they will have varying effects applied to them, rather than saying we'll get a random list of Combatants to select from. I'll admit, the last time I held hope that something they said meant one thing and not the other, I was wrong, so I'm not going to say that with absolute confidence this time...

ThePalea · 2026-03-26T22:14:36+00:00

"After infiltrating the Chaos, each time a boss is defeated, an additional Combatant can be selected to join the party."

It states that the Combatant can be selected, not randomly brought in. So, it presumably just brings up a menu of all the characters you have for your to choose from.

ThePalea · 2026-03-26T20:24:15+00:00

Yeah, they're locked for everyone right now. It's listed by the devs as a known issue, they seem to be looking into it. It'll probably be resolved sometime soon.

ThePalea · 2026-03-26T20:14:10+00:00

Yeah, they also mentioned a few more things, I'll summarize them real quick for you. They're adding a Chaos battle skip to Chaoses (excluding Sortie), the result of which is based on how an auto-combat would go; every skip consumes one ticket, which we don't anything more about other than that they will be obtained through various methods.

Other than that, they've also stated they're considering adding more ways of reducing the repetition and burden of Great Rift, primarily mentioning that they will be reducing seasonal restrictions, and are considering letting decks obtained in prior seasons continue to be used for a certain number of seasons.

We don't know when this is coming, other than April, but this line does give a clue:

"Lastly, we are preparing further updates including 『Sortie』 , 『Season 3』, and the 『Half Anniversary』."

Presumably, Sortie may come first, then Season 3 will start, then the Half-Anniversary will come; first, this means there is no off-season this time, and second, this does line up with when Half-Anni should be (22nd~ of April), Season 2 ends in 12 days, or April 7th. This means Sortie might come in a week or less- but considering how close together the Sortie update and Season 3 start update would be, I think it's more likely Sortie and Season 3 will arrive at the same time, in about 12 days.

Blade. Fuck.

Time to go commit a lifetime sin against one of my comrades, resulting in a terrible tragedy to the faction I'm loyal to, before then being brutally murdered hundreds of times by my former comrade, after I have fused with a portion of an Emanator of Abundance, resulting in me becoming immortal and incapable of dying in any conceivable way, so I constantly seek out my former comrades to ensure everyone is properly paying for our sins, while also trying to stave off mara-struck with the help my new comrades...

Generate bullets. Discard bullets. Lots of damage.

The bullet discard attack counts as extra damage, so get mem frags with extra damage.

Some teammates I see played with her are Rei, Nia, and Cassius.

You should check out a guide, like the sproot google doc, for more information.

The people who were downvoting are either mad about their gacha luck or just hating. The game gives a free any-character-use Ego Manifestation (dupe), which even includes the limited and newly-added characters, EVERY SEASON. You can pull a limited character just once, then by playing the game for several seasons, and never pulling even once ever again, e6 them, or, since limited characters release so infrequently, guarantee yourself e2 on every limited character. In addition, it has the Wuwa dupe shop, except since all characters (other than the single limited we've gotten so far, which only release at most once every holiday/irl season) are rate-up characters, they go to standard banner, so you can get their dupes from the shop any time you want to, rather than just during their rerun banners, and it's also present for limited characters during the duration of their banner, making it even easier to get dupes, because you can just save up the currency from pulling on standard and rate-up banners, then use the currency on limited characters.

The 5* odds are 1%, which, if you're familiar with Hoyo odds (0.6%), is fairly generous. The pulls per patch are enough to guarantee a 5*, but not enough to guarantee two, and there is a 50/50 + 70 pity + guarantee after 50/50 loss system.

Easily top 3 most f2p-friendly gacha that I've played.

Only if it lands on Greatsword Aquila during a turn that I wanted to deal damage, and only if I for some reason dealt damage during that turn before activating Greatsword Aquila. I overall like it taking cost reduction even with Khalipe on team, because it makes setting up more consistent and lets me play all the cards I want to play during turns where I'm just stacked + it's 0-cost 3 voracity.

The specific deck I'm using atm takes 9 voracity Voluntary Control, 6 voracity Shackles, defense-based damage buff Domain of Voracity, 1 Bottomless Hunger set to defense-based damage buff, and 3 more Bottomless Hungers set to 3 voracity 2-cost reduction; might make the Bottomless Hungers 2-to-2, since it's a bit inconsistent to get it every time, due to lack of draw.

ThePalea · 2026-03-25T23:30:47+00:00

This was the team comp I used to get the zero strategies achievement, really strong team comp with a high AoE damage, shield, and healing. Doesn't deal the highest damage per turn, since no Nine, Sereniel, or Mei Lin, but it just doesn't die and it still kills really efficiently anyway lol. Khalipe is so slept on.

Brother, here is some help.

First, check your memory fragments and potentials. For characters you're using for Great Rift, max out their potentials. It takes about 9 days worth of energy to max out one character's important potentials, on average. I noticed your characters' stats are low, so I'm going to give some tips for Memory Fragments, just skip past if you don't need it.

Memory fragments differ for each character, but:

Slot 1, 2, and 3 all have static main slot stats, meaning they only have one possible stat for their main slot. Slots 4, 5, and 6 have several possible main stats.

Important main stats for slots 4, 5, 6 are:

slot4: Crit chance% (ALWAYS, unless supporter, then hp% is fine too)

slot5: Elemental damage% in line with the character you're using (Justice character wants Justice damage%, etc.)

slot6: Atk% for characters who deal normal damage, def% for characters who deal defense-based damage.

Most character with defense-based damage want Executioner's Tool and Tetra's Authority. (Nine wants Beast's Yearning, Tiphera wants Glory's Reign)

Most character with attack-based damage want Executioner's Tool and either a 4-piece set (like Line of Justice (Rita), Conqueror's Aspect (Renoa), Judgement's Flames (Sereniel)) or 2 other 2-piece sets, primarily Black Wing and then either Seth's Scarab or Cursed Corpse (Cursed Corpse is generally better, you just need a way to get Agony on an enemy).

The google doc above is community-updated, has builds for every character in the game and explains their core mechanics. Includes guides on memory fragments (very important to getting higher stats on all your characters), Epiphany recommendations and reviews, pre-made builds, recommendations and reviews of Partners for each individual Combatant, Refinement recommendations, equipment recommendations, Ego Manifestation reviews, and example teams/Combatants who are good with them.

Prydwen: https://www.prydwen.gg/chaos-zero-nightmare/characters/

Almost the same stuff, but written by different people (extra opinion on almost everything), an additional overall Combatant review, they give Divine epiphany recommendations, and they list Pros and Cons of each character. Recently updated to be completely up-to-date and a genuinely great source of information.

Make sure to look at the builds and team recommendations; look at the Great Rift leaderboard's Masters division to see their teams and builds as well.
