1. Introduction
Draw engine Sereniel is real!
This is a deck featuring Sereniel as the main damage dealer, driving Selena's Extra Attacks and using Cassius as a Morale generator + sustain. It is aimed for general use (Basin of Hyperspace, Tower of Screams, general combat stages) but could also be usable in Great Rift and Full-Scale Offensive depending on the modifiers (not for rank chasing).
As for most of the decks I try to craft, the main goal is to have a comfy deck that can reliably execute its full combo while having decent sustain. It is by no means optimized to deal the most damage / one shot bosses.
Most equipments and refinements are suggestions. Some explanations and alternatives can be found in the "Details" section of this guide.
2. Deck guide
2.1 Setup
The setup for this deck is incredibly easy and will most of the time be done during the first turn combo.
Your goal for the setup is to play all the upgrade cards in the deck:
- Sniper's Domain -> Always in starting hand
- Shining Core -> Always in starting hand, make sure you have enough hand space to play it
- Pop Eyed Popper -> Best if you can get it in the staring hand, use Joker if needed to get it as soon as possible
- Dice Trick -> As long as it is played on turn 1 you'll get all the benefits
After that, simply follow the normal turn guide!
💡For Pop Eyed Popper, the best Quest is "Straight" for the extra Morale in addition to the draw, but "Full House" and "Triple 0" can also be used if you want.
2.2 Combo / normal turn
There are 4 top priority cards you want to play as early as possible each turn:
- High-Power Scope & Drone Bombing -> Enable Selena's Extra Attacks
- Sereniel's Persona card -> Ideally discarding Selena's Persona card to equalize the draw
- Cassius' Persona card -> Can be tutored using Attack!
Play these cards as soon as you get them in hand, using Joker if needed.
After that, here are the second priority cards to play in order to further boost damage:
Once that is done (or rather while you're doing that since it isn't possible to guarantee the draw order of the cards), time to start blasting!
Try to use all Homing Lasers in hand (priority to the ones with divine epiphanies) before ravaging an enemy to get those juicy effects back. After ravaging is when things get a bit harder: you want to play as many lasers as possible while keeping enough fir power to ravage again. Try different amounts and you should quickly figure out how much amo you can safely spend.
Whenever you are ready to keep going, use Selena's Tactical Maneuver to recharge the Tenacity and start firing again.
💡Don't stress out if you overfill your hand with lasers on Ravage. As long as you have enough cards to break again afterwards, everything is going great!
⚠️Try to use Pale Shooting Star while the enemy has enough Tenacity to avoid breaking them with the first hit. If not, the lasers will go back to hand but then be immediately used (rather than using them from discard and then moving them to hand to use them again).

Recommended equipment:
Alternative weapons:
Alternative armors:
Alternative accessories
Recommended refinements:
- When Action Count of enemies is increased by allies, +50% Damage Amount to ally Attack Cards for 1 turn (1 time per turn)
- When 7 or more cards are in Graveyard, increase Damage Amount of Attack Cards of this unit by 30% (max 1 stack)
- When 15 or more cards are in Graveyard, +15% Critical Damage to Attack Cards of this unit
Alternative epiphanies:
- The base epiphany of Cobalt Light can get a Draw 2 common epiphany, allowing for more draw while keeping good Tenacity damage
- If hand space is not manageable, try switching 1 (or more) Homing Laser to the "Destroy: Add 1 Hit" epiphany
Recommended memory fragments:
- [Judgement's Flames] 4 piece -> Only works on ~half of Sereniel's attacks since we constantly restore tenacity
- [Instinctual Growth] 4 piece
- [Executioner's Tool] 2 piece -> Generic Critical Damage boost
- [Black Wing] 2 piece -> Generic Attack boost
- [Cursed Corpse] 2 piece -> Alternative if there is a source of Agony in the team
セレーナRecommended Chaos: Theater of Illusions / Blue Pot / Twin Star's Shadow (A Song Rippling Through the Stars modifier)
Recommended equipment:
Alternative weapons:
Alternative armors:
Alternative accessories
Recommended refinements:
- When 5 or more cards have been created through abilities by allies, +30% Damage Amount to Extra Attacks of this unit (1 time per turn) -> Absolute best for Selena's personal damage
- When Action Count of enemies is increased by allies, +50% Damage Amount to ally Attack Cards for 1 turn (1 time per turn)
- On Extra Attack, 1 Morale for 1 turn (1 time per turn)
Alternative epiphanies:
- With enough draw, some draw divine epiphanies can be changed if needed
- Similarly, the Persona engraving can be changed for a second "Activate on discard" for even more draw if needed. This would however make it harder for Cassius to achieve 3 "Straight" quests every turn since the card would now cost 3
