Best Team Compositions

Position	Character
Main DPS	Khalipe
Support	Mika

Amir works best with Khalipe and Mika, thanks to their strong celestial card synergy and reliable wave generation for AP recovery. Amir’s playstyle centers on stacking Metalization and then unleashing it with Full Metal Hurricane on a single target, all while keeping important buffs and debuffs active.

Khalipe supports this by constantly providing shields to trigger Metalization and offering solid AoE damage with Vulture Ejection and Silver Veil. Mika’s role is simple, generate as much wave as possible to keep the team’s AP flowing, even if it means sacrificing her healing output.

Best Memory Fragments

Bullet of Order is still Amir’s best 4-set, even though the bonus only triggers when she uses an attack card. She only has two attack cards, and most turns she’ll use zero or one of them, but the other 4-sets don’t benefit her at all, so this one remains the strongest choice. Pair it with Tetra’s Authority as her 2-set for a clean Defense boost. For substats, stack as much Defense as you can.

Since Amir’s damage scales entirely with Defense, you’ll want to prioritize Defense first, then Health, so she can survive chip damage more comfortably. Attack is your lowest priority, while it still adds a bit of damage, the scaling is much weaker compared to Defense.

Playstyle Tips and Strategy/How to Play

Amir’s gameplay revolves around gaining and spending Metalize stacks to deal damage, apply debuffs, or boost her defenses. Her main sources of Metalize are Hovering Metal and Metal Extraction, so focus on picking epiphanies that give the most stacks. If possible, duplicate these cards to speed up her setup.

Try to play Full Metal Hurricane before you start consuming Metalize stacks. This lets you take advantage of its extra effects, like increasing Metalize damage or making Metalize hit all enemies. It’s the best way to maximize her burst potential.

Amir can spend her Metalize stacks using cards like Metal Pierce (to apply Vulnerable) or Iron Skin (to gain damage reduction). Metalize also triggers whenever she gains a shield from a played card.

Just remember: Metalize won’t activate from shields gained outside of cards, such as equipment bonuses or passive effects. Only shield gained directly from playing cards will trigger it.
