Tenebria Skill Kit & Playstyle Analysis

Chaos Zero Nightmare Tenebria

Tenebria Playstyle Analysis

Tenebria’s main gameplay revolves mainly around her unique Rhythm cards, which can be create by exhausting the entire team’s basic attack cards with her powerful Opener Card.

Tenebria’s gameplan and combo starts with her important Upgrade Card Music, Start!, which is automatically activated at the start of the battle thanks to its Opener Tag. Upon activating, the card will exhaust all Basic Attack Cards of the entire team to generate 2 Rhythm cards for each character, to a maximum of 6 Rhythm cards. These Rhythm cards acts as basic attack cards with different effects depending on which type of Rhythm card they are: Green is for card spamming, Purple is for high cost playstyle, Red is for Discard and Link playstyle, Yellow is a draw engine and Blue is for Tenebria main DPS playstyle.

Tenebria’s other cards revolves around moving these Rhythm cards into the hand for players to use them in order to trigger special effects, allowing Tenebria to spam these Rhythm cards as much as possible within the same turn to deal Basic Attack Card damage to enemies and triggers special additional effects from her other attack cards.

One of the most important thing players should take note when using characters in the same team as Tenebria is that since her gimmick revolves around exhausting allies’ basic attack cards, players won’t need to delete Basic Attack Cards from the characters’ decks before entering the battle, allowing players to save previous Save Data value when building characters.
