Team Building Mechanics for Chaos Zero Nightmare
Building the best team in Chaos Zero Nightmare isn’t just about getting the top tier characters though, it takes planning and understanding how each combatant works. To make your battles smoother and more powerful, you need to focus on a few key things before forming your team. Let’s go through the basics step by step.

Combatants and Their Classes
Before you start building your team, you need to understand your combatants, these are the characters who fight in your team. Each combatant comes with unique cards for battle and belongs to a specific class based on their playstyle:

- 
Controller: Supports the team with healing, shields, buffs, AP restoration, or summons to keep team safe.
 - 
Vanguard: Acts as the tank with high DEF and HP, protecting the team using shields and defense-based attacks.
 - 
Ranger: Fights from a distance with consistent damage, AoE bursts, and even defensive tools like shields.
 - 
Hunter: Focuses on strong single-target damage using ammo, combos, and follow-ups — great for boss fights.
 - 
Psionic: Deals powerful magic-based attacks, often with AoE or a mix of control and DPS skills.
 - 
Striker: Excels in close-range combat with fast, powerful combos and heavy burst damage.
 
Combatants Attributes
Every combatant in Chaos Zero Nightmare has a specific attribute that determines the type of damage:

- 
Passion (Red)
 - 
Void (Purple)
 - 
Instinct (Yellow)
 - 
Order (Green)
 - 
Justice (Blue)
 
These attributes are very important in Chaos Zero Nightmare team building. If your team’s attributes match the enemy’s weakness, you’ll get a special bonus that lets you deal extra damage.
Example: If you’re fighting a Passion-type monster, using a Main DPS like Lucas, who also has the Passion attribute, will let you deal bonus damage and defeat the monster faster.
Always check the enemy’s attribute before a battle and build your team around it to gain the best advantage!
Equip the Best Partners
Partners act like weapons, boosting combatants with stats, passives, and Ego Skills. They have classes too, match the class to your combatant for synergy bonuses, like stronger passives.

Example: Pair Vanguard combatant Amir with Vanguard partner Zeta. This activates Zeta's passive, boosting Defense-based Damage by 15%
So, always check your partner’s class and synergy effects to get the most out of your team setup.
Build a Team with Balanced Team Composition
For a strong, balanced Chaos Zero Nightmare team, pick your combatants that cover damage , protection, and utility. This ensures smooth card plays and wins tough battles. Here are the key roles to include:
