How to Play Nia in Chaos Zero Nightmare?
Nia's gameplay revolves around her Decibel mechanic. Decibel stacks trigger Extra Attacks from all team members when your deck shuffles. Each stack of Decibel increases the Extra Attack damage, so you want to reach 5 stacks before shuffling.
Build Decibel by using Soul Rip combined with your discard effects. Soul Rip has Retain, so hold it until you're ready to discard multiple cards in one turn. Then use Mute Accent, Nia's Curiosity, or Adagio to discard cards while Soul Rip is active, gaining Decibel for each discard. Your Ego Skill provides 3 Decibel instantly and empties your Draw Pile, forcing a shuffle next turn.
G Chord activates the top card of your Draw Pile without paying its AP cost. Combine this with Adagio to play expensive cards cheaply. First use Adagio to discard a high-cost card, moving it to the top of your Draw Pile. Then use G Chord to activate it for only 1 AP total. This lets you play 3+ AP cards for much less.
Nia's Curiosity filters your deck by letting you see 3 cards, pick one to draw, and discard the other two. This helps you find combo pieces faster and cycles your deck toward a shuffle. With E1, this becomes free, making it one of the best filtering tools in the game.
Nia works best with characters who benefit from Extra Attacks or have high attack stats. Renoa's Dirge Bullets trigger damage when discarded, so Nia's discard effects activate them for free. Characters with mark mechanics like Selena also work well since marks trigger on Extra Attacks.
