hello everyone! Today, we focus on the mysterious 5-star Void attribute character, Kayron. He is an amnesiac Awakened, wandering as a Drifter in search of a place of rest. His unique skills and combat style make him a key character in many players' lineups. Let's unveil the mysteries of this enigmatic character together!
Contents
Kayron Overview
Kayron is a main DPS capable of both single-target and AoE damage, with his combat revolving around his unique "Futility" card mechanic.
Core Gameplay: Generate and Exhaust Futility. Use specific cards to generate Futility cards. These Futility cards can either be used actively or trigger additional effects when Exhausted. Skill design makes the generation and Exhaustion of Futility cards key to combat.
Combat Style: Kayron's output requires careful setup. Once his Futility system is established, he can unleash a stunning "Feast of Nothingness," dealing explosive single-target or AoE damage at critical moments to instantly turn the tide of battle.
Kayron Skill & Card Analysis
The key to mastering Kayron lies in understanding how his cards interact with "Futility Cards."
Basic Deck: The initial deck contains the key card "Echo of Futility," which generates the first Futility card, serving as the seed for startup.
Core Damage Skills:
Brand of Annihilation: Deals 300% damage to all enemies. When a card is Exhausted, this card's Cost is reduced by 1 for 1 turn. Exhausting Futility cards quickly reduces its cost, enabling loops.
Black Hole: Deals 240% damage to a single enemy. Damage is increased by +40% per Exhausted Futility card. Deals devastating single-target damage instantly, used to prioritize key targets.
Echoes of True Abyss: Deals 240% damage, creates 3 Futility cards, and increases damage by +40% based on the number of Futility cards created. Deals high damage when many Futility cards are present.
Core Engine/Utility Skill
Oath of Vanity: An Upgrade skill that changes generated Futility cards into Attack cards with damage and healing effects, costing 1. This is Kayron's core upgrade skill, significantly enhancing the offensive capability of Futility cards.
Ego Skill "Rift of Nothingness"
Effect: Consumes 4 Energy, deals 250% damage to all enemies, Exhausts all Futility cards in hand, and increases damage by +80% for each Futility card Exhausted.
Strategic Significance: This is the key to Kayron's ultimate combo, enabling him to unleash his full firepower in one turn when combined with "Brand of Annihilation."
Kayron Pros & Cons
Pros:
Boundless Power: Extremely High Single-Target and AoE Burst Potential: Through his unique Futility system, Kayron can deal extremely high single-target damage, while also achieving powerful AoE damage under specific conditions, dealing devastating blows to multiple targets.
Epiphany Mechanics Drastically Alter Playstyle: Kayron's "Epiphany" mechanism adds a completely new dimension to his combat style. Once obtained, his skills and combat methods are significantly enhanced, providing players with new strategies and growth paths.
Grows Stronger the Longer the Fight Lasts: Kayron's combat ability continuously strengthens as the battle progresses. The Futility system and skill design allow him to gradually accumulate advantages during prolonged fights, culminating in a powerful burst.
Cons:
Extremely AP-Hungry Deck: Most of Kayron's skills require high Action Point support, limiting his deck's performance when AP is insufficient. Players need to carefully plan AP usage to ensure key skills can be executed smoothly.
Futility is Almost Useless Without "Oath of Vanity": Kayron's Futility cards are relatively ineffective without the enhancement from "Oath of Vanity." This can make players feel a lack of damage output in the early game or before obtaining key cards.
Base Deck Feels Weak Before Gaining Epiphanies: Kayron's basic deck performs relatively mediocrely before obtaining the Epiphany mechanism. Players need to patiently accumulate resources and trigger Epiphanies as soon as possible to unlock Kayron's true potential.
Team Compositions
Classic Trio Team
Kayron (Main DPS) + Tressa (Damage Amplifier) + Mika (Healer/AP Battery)

Role Responsibilities & Synergy:
Kayron: Kayron's Futility system enables extremely high single-target damage, and under specific conditions, can also deliver powerful AoE damage. As the absolute core of the team, he bears all damage responsibilities.
Tressa: Provides significant damage bonus to Void attribute cards, substantially boosting Kayron's damage output. Ensures that Kayron's Futility cards can achieve maximum effect when used. Provides some combat sustainability, helping the team maintain an advantage in prolonged battles.
Mika: Provides stable healing to ensure survival. Additionally, her AP generation effect provides more Action Points for Kayron and Tressa, greatly accelerating the rotation and burst tempo of Kayron's Futility system.
Note: The original Chinese text mentioned Rei in Mika's description, which seems inconsistent as Rei is not in the recommended trio. The translation for Mika's part has been adjusted to reflect the recommended team of Kayron, Tressa, Mika, removing the reference to Rei for coherence.)
AP Battery & Sustain Team
This team provides the fuel for Kayron's expensive cards and ensures survival.

|
- Kayron (Main DPS)
- Mika (Healer / AP Battery)
- Khalipe (Shielder / Utility)
Mika is nearly essential. Her potent healing and incredible AP generation from cards like Source of Water allow Kayron to play his high-cost cards and still have AP left to use Futility cards.
Khalipe provides strong shields to handle damage intake, especially in modes like Zero System. Her ability to retain your entire hand with Absolute Protection is invaluable for saving Futility cards for a big Black Hole or Rift of Nothingness turn. Many of Kayron's 2+ cost cards also trigger Khalipe's Celestial-tagged cards for free.
Memory Fragments
Set Choice: Prioritize the Offering of the Void set (4-piece) and the Black Wing set (2-piece). This combination reliably triggers the Void Offering damage bonus when Futility cards are exhausted.
You can trigger the Offering of the Void damage bonus very consistently, since Kayron's futility card always exhausts when used. For both main stats and substats, aim for Void Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Attack.
Stat Priority
Main Stats: Slot 4 - Crit Rate, Slot 5 - ATK / Void Damage, Slot 6 - ATK.
Sub-stats: Crit Rate > Crit Damage > Extra Damage > ATK%.
Conclusion
Kayron is a late-game core with unique mechanics and immense potential. Although his startup is not the fastest, once you build a mature damage rotation for him, the devastating strikes and unique operational experience brought by his fully realized form are unparalleled.
