Heidemarie is a Limited 5-star Character of the Passion Element and Ranger Class. She specializes in dealing massive amounts of damage by discarding cards through her special Linked cards that automatically discard all cards that are linked together to activate their effects thanks to the Quintus effect. The more cards are discarded, the more powerful Heidemarie will become.

Chaos Zero Nightmare Heidemarie

Heidemarie’s playstyle and cards revolve around 2 main effects: Linked and Quintus. She specializes in discarding as many cards as possible in a row with her special Linked Ability to activate the Quintus effect and deal damage to enemies.

The Quintus effect is an effect that was previously introduced with the Combatant Diana where whenever a card with the Quintus effect is discarded, their effect will activate, allowing players to trigger their effect without having to use AP. The Linked Effect is a brand new effect exclusive to Heidemarie where cards with the Linked tag are linked together and upon using 1 of the linked cards, all other linked cards will automatically be discarded. These two effects synergize together perfectly to allow Heidemarie to activate 1 single card but gains the effects of multiple cards at the same time.

Heidemarie’s main gameplay revolves around linking as many cards as possible within a turn to discard all of them by activating 1, triggering all of the cards’ Quintus effects, allowing her to deal powerful damage to enemies, draw multiple cards at once and triggering her special nuke card: Effulgent Compression. Upon Effulgent Compression being discarded 3 times, it will be turned into a powerful nuke card, allowing Heidemarie to deal massive amounts of damage to enemies.
