Chaos Zero Nightmare: New characters Yuki and Chizuru and new endgame content!

In the recent livestream, Chaos Zero Nightmare revealed key details for Season 1: “Forbidden Catalyst.” The long-awaited new character Yuki made her debut on November 12, serving as the first featured UP character of the new season. At the same time, the official website also unveiled another upcoming character, Chizuru, from a major faction, hinting that the next main storyline will centre around the “Special Investigation Department” and the “110 Company".

The livestream also showcased a new chaos and exclusive rewards and events. Today, LDShop will provide an in-depth analysis of both Yuki and Chizuru, followed by an overview of endgame content coming in this version.

Yuki

Character Role and Core Mechanics

The first featured UP character, Yuki, is an Order-type Striker who specializes in the Inspiration mechanic. In combat, Yuki excels at wide-area Striker-style attacks, dealing consistent AoE damage while maintaining strong combo potential.

Her core gameplay revolves around “Inspiration”, a unique effect that activates whenever cards are drawn. This can increase damage output or reduce skill costs, allowing her to maintain a high-efficiency combat rhythm.

Mastering Yuki’s combo timing and skill sequencing enables players to quickly eliminate bosses and enemies, making her a powerful choice for both burst damage and sustained battles.

Character analysis and player recommendations

Yuki is a fighter who wields giant sword in battle. Her skill set is expected to include three attack moves, one buff ability, and one core skill, all with low energy costs (no more than 2 per card). This gives her a fast-paced combat rhythm and strong sustained damage output, ideal for players who enjoy fluid, combo-driven gameplay.

According to her promotion material, Yuki is the head of the Special Investigations Department, hinting at her key role in introducing a new faction storyline and potential ties with Chizuru, another newly revealed character. She will most likely be teamed up with characters that can cycle or search specific cards in the deck such as Nia or Cassius to activate inspiration all the time.

For players considering resource management, it’s recommended to save pulls and wait for Yuki’s banner. As the first UP character of Season 1 and a core member of the Terrascion faction, her strong narrative connection to the main story suggests high long-term value. Spending resources early on other banners may cause players to miss out on Yuki’s early-season advantage.

Yuki's new partner

Yuki’s new partner, Westmacott, is five-star partner available for characters to equip. Her exclusive EGO Skill, “Clue Spotted” allows her to move one card to the top of the deck and draw another card from pile, helping Yuki maintain smoother combos and consistent Inspiration triggers during battle.

As a Rate Up Partner, Westmacott have an increased appearance rate. Every 10 rescues you are guaranteed to obtain a four-star higher Combatant support. Attack Cards of the assigned Combatant drawn by their Ability have their Damage increased by 25% for 1 turn.

Release Schedule: Westmacott will be available after maintenance on November 12 and will join the standard banner on December 3.

Chizuru

Character Role and Core Mechanisms

In Chaos Zero Nightmare, Chizuru is five-star Void Striker and member of the Peltion faction. It is shown on the video that Chizuru will likely play an antagonistic role to Yuki's storyline. By mastering her skill sequences and timing, players can maintain steady burst output in both dungeon runs and boss battles.

Character analysis and player recommendations

Although Chizuru has not been officially confirmed as an UP character in the first phase, she remains one of the most anticipated new members of her faction, with strong potential recognized by many players.

In the official site, she's listed as a character under the Peltion faction together with the already released character Cassius. Her cards also show the void element, on the left border of her cards.

Her current skill setup includes three offensive skills, one enhancement, and one core ability, suggesting a design that leans toward pure damage output. Players speculate based on the previous banner’s elemental lineup and current gaps in faction attributes.

In terms of appearance and combat style, Chizuru stands out for her unique identity: she wields a sword through a mechanical arm rather than her own hands, giving her a distinct half-human, half-cybernetic aesthetic that shapes both her personality and fighting flair.

Since her official stats, gear options, and combat power have not yet been revealed, it’s advisable to leave room for growth and refinement in any early analysis or creative writing, allowing future updates to naturally fill in her details.
