Sereniel is a 5-star Instinct elemental character that specializes in dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies to put them in the Ravaged state to move all her attack cards back onto the hand and bombard them with attacks even more. She is the game’s first ever Seasonal Character.

Chaos Zero Nightmare Sereniel

Sereniel’s main gameplay revolves around the special effect Ravage, activates whenever an enemy’s tenacity bar reaches 0 and allows you to deal more damage to enemies. For Sereniel, she takes full effect of the Ravaged state by being able to move her 0 cost cards onto the hand and bombard the enemy with as many attack cards as possible within a short period of time.

Sereniel’s play style revolves around creating as many Homing Laser L cards as possible, cards that will be exhausted after 2 usage and that can automatically move themselves onto the hand whenever the enemies are ravaged. This allows players to use these cards once when they are in the hand to inflict massive amounts of Tenacity damage to enemies before ravaging them, moving the cards onto your hand once again and bombarding them with these 0 cost cards again. These Homing Laser L cards can be created with various card effects on Sereniel’s card deck.

Additionally, Sereniel has access to 2 different nuke cards that allows her to deal big damage to enemies at a high cost: the Cobalt Light card and the Pale Shooting Star card. When used Cobalt Light can deal big damage to enemies, up to 8 different times and gain benefits when attacking ravaged or non-ravaged enemies depending on the epiphany. Meanwhile, Pale Shooting Star is Sereniel’s main nuke card, allowing her to deal damage to an enemy and automatically activates Homing Laser cards in the deck or in the graveyard and activates all of their effects without much cost, dealing massive amounts of damage and essentially allow her to break the Tenacity bar for free.
