Best Team Compositions
| Position | Character |
| Main DPS |  Haru |
| Support |  Mika |
| Shielder | Magna |
Magna works best as a shielding unit who protects the team while building up counterattack stacks for burst damage. She applies Vulnerable to enemies and uses Crystallization for passive protection each turn. Her main weakness is high card costs without proper energy management or specific Epiphanies.
Magna excels at defense and area damage through accumulated counterattacks, but she lacks focused damage output and energy generation. Haru fills the first gap with powerful focused attacks like Anchor Shot, while Mika solves the second by supplying energy to the entire party. This AP support allows Magna to deploy her expensive defensive tools like Ice Wall more consistently, while Haru can execute high-cost finishing moves.
Together, they create a balanced team where Magna handles protection and crowd damage, Haru delivers precision strikes, and Mika keeps everyone's resources flowing smoothly.
Alternative Team Members
| Character | Explanation |
 Tressa | Tressa can substitute as a damage dealer, providing steady damage through Agony stacks. She works well with Magna because Tressa needs time to ramp up her damage-over-time effects. Magna's strong defenses keep the team alive during this setup period. |
 Maribell | Maribell can replace Haru as the primary damage dealer. She builds huge shields and converts them into massive damage with Shelter Strike. She pairs well with Magna because both benefit from shield generation. |

Playstyle Tips and Strategy/How to Play
Magna works best when she’s protecting the team, blocking big hits, and turning damage into free counterattacks. Only use her shield cards when enemies are about to strike, don’t waste too much AP on shielding every turn. Her Ice Wall is especially useful for surviving AoE attacks while adding even more counterattacks and extra shields for the team.
When it comes to damage, her Ego skill, Absolute Zero, is her real nuke. It hits one target extremely hard because it scales with her Defense and the number of counterattacks she has built up. The longer the fight goes, the stronger it becomes. Save Absolute Zero for boss stages or after stacking several counterattacks, especially if her Potential 3-1 is unlocked.
In short: Shield smartly, build counterattacks, and unleash Absolute Zero when it matters most.
