Chaos Zero Nightmare: Comprehensive Analysis of the Launch UP Character 'Haru'

Hello everyone! LDShop is here today to provide an in-depth analysis of Chaos Zero Nightmare's first launch UP character—Haru. With her high damage multiplier and outstanding performance, is she truly worth your resources? Let's find out!

I. Role Positioning: Main DPS

As a Justice attribute Striker, Haru's greatest strength lies in her straightforward, extremely high numerical damage. Through the synergy between "Anchor Pointer" and "Anchor Shot," she can deliver impressive damage numbers in medium to long battles. However, this character also has clear strengths and weaknesses:

 Highlights:

Skill multipliers are among the best at launch.

Clear and logical gameplay, easy for beginners to pick up.

Damage becomes more impressive the longer the battle lasts.

Usage Notes:

Requires careful management of Action Points (AP).

Needs a sub-DPS when facing enemies with high damage reduction.

II. Core Skill Analysis

Anchor Shot (2 Cost)

Core damage card. Deals 240% base damage, with damage increasing by 60% each time it's used this turn (max 5 stacks). This is the key to Haru being a "stats monster"! Under ideal conditions, a fully stacked Anchor Shot can deal a terrifying 540% multiplier.

Anchor Pointer (0 Cost)

Cycling core card. Returns an Anchor Shot from your Draw Pile or Graveyard to your hand. It is the engine for Haru's sustained damage output. Epiphany choices are crucial:

Epiphany 2 (Retain): Can be used again next turn, enabling rapid Anchor Shot stacking.

Epiphany 1 (Retrieve): Further improves cycling speed.

Epiphany 3 (Retrieve): Tailor-made for Haru's E2 (2nd Manifest Ego)

Power Charge (2 Cost)

Deals 180% damage to all enemies. Deals 80% extra damage to a single target. Recommending choosing the "Combo" Epiphany, which reduces its cost to 1 under certain conditions, allowing you to unleash 300% high-value AoE damage.

Charge Energy (1 Cost)

Support damage boost card. Increases damage of Attack cards by 30% for 1 turn. Its "Retain" property makes its timing more flexible.

III. Epiphany Build: E0 Complete Guide

For Haru at E0 (0 Manifest Ego), prioritize Epiphanies as follows:

1. Anchor Pointer (Retain) > Anchor Pointer (Retrieve) > Others
2. Anchor Shot (Combo) (preferred for short battles) > Anchor Shot (Multiplier) (works with double Anchor Pointer) > Anchor Shot (Generate Card)

Pursuing AP-related special Epiphanies is not recommended. A reasonable Epiphany build is far more important than relying on luck. There's no need to repeatedly farm Chaos in the early game; wait until after Level 40 to deeply optimize your saves.

IV. Team Composition Ideas: Three Mainstream Choices

1. Robust All-Rounder: Haru + Magna + Mika

Magna provides consistent Shields and Counter, while Mika supplements damage, forming an offensive-defensive system. Magna's Freeze and Counter effectively protect Haru while also applying Vulnerable to amplify Haru's damage.

2. Burst Damage Focus: Haru + Khalipe + Mika

A choice for pursuing extreme damage output. The core idea is to "end the battle before the enemy can act." Khalipe provides substantial damage bonuses, but survival pressure is higher, requiring precise AP management.

3. Cycling Efficiency Team: Haru + Cassius + Mika

Utilizes Cassius's cycling mechanism to enable frequent skill usage. While lacking in burst damage, it excels in stability and endurance, suitable for strategic players.

V. Growth Plan: Guide from Beginner to Mastery

Gear Choice

The 4-piece "Justice" set and 2-piece “Executioner’s tool” set is undoubtedly the top choice. Prioritize Attack in the early game; later, as Critical Rate increases, gradually transition to a Critical Damage focus.

Partner Configuration

The exclusive partner Asteria provides a significant boost, but the freely obtainable Ritochka is also fully capable. For resource-limited players, skill can fully compensate for this 20-30% gap.

Manifest Ego (Constellation) Suggestions

Haru at E0 already possesses complete combat capability. While E2 can provide an emergency solution, for the average player, staying at E0 is sufficient to handle the vast majority of challenges.

The above is the in-depth analysis of the launch UP character Haru. Her advantage lies in solving battles in the most direct way, making her particularly suitable for the early game. However, note that as game content updates, a single damage-dealing pattern may encounter bottlenecks. It is recommended that while building Haru, you also pay attention to diversifying your team composition.
