CZN (Chaos Zero Nightmare) stands out as a fresh take on gacha games, blending roguelite and deckbuilding mechanics, and demanding sharp strategy for both team building and each card played. The characters you choose to run and pull for can seriously speed up or slow down your progress, and that hits harder if you're sticking to free-to-play. In this Chaos Zero Nightmare character ranking list, we've sorted every character by their raw power and ease of use. Time to break down the rankings and the reasons behind each spot.
Heads up: This ranking draws from the most recent closed beta test data, including Haru, the debut limited banner unit. Haru's details come from the Korean server. We'll tweak and expand it as more info rolls in to make it as solid as possible.

The list above shows our full breakdown of Chaos Zero Nightmare characters and what each tier stands for. Every character brings something useful to the table, though just a handful feel outright overpowered. Success boils down to smart plays and avoiding slip-ups. Go for S or A tier if you want straightforward power that works in most spots. B tier can still crush it, but they demand more finesse and consistency from you.
S Tier Characters
Character | Details & Ranking Summary |
---|---|
Khalipe | 5-Star Instinct Vanguard Tank DPS AoE High-Cost Khalipe works as a sturdy tank and brawler with top-notch area damage and durability. She triggers her Vulture Ejection by playing cards that cost 2 or more, landing steady AoE hits, and it keeps rolling if you feed her those big plays. Plus, she's rock-solid on her own as a tank and AoE dealer since her cards chain off each other easily. Short on AoE or frontline muscle? Slot her right in, no second thoughts. |
Mika | 4-Star Justice Controller Description: TBA |
Mei Lin | 5-Star Passion Striker Description: TBA |
Hugo | 5-Star Order Hunter DPS Single-target Low-Cost Extra Attack Haste Hugo cranks out huge single-target damage through bonus attacks from his Commence the Hunt passive. He really clicks with Nia, who amps those extras via her Soul Rip card. Backed up right, he's among the elite main damage dealers in CZN, and he pulls weight as a backup too by building stacks when allies drop Enhance or Skill cards. |

Luke | 5-Star Order Hunter DPS Single-target Low-Cost Bullet Luke focuses on single-target bursts by stacking Critical Chance to spawn Bullet Cards through Rapid Fire, then unleashing them alongside buffs and synergies for massive output. He's a prime single-target specialist in CZN, but he thrives on that crit luck to maximize Rapid Fire. He meshes perfectly with Lucas or any Bullet makers. |
