CZN (Chaos Zero Nightmare) is a very unique gacha game, with roguelite\/deckbuilding elements, and an insane amount of strategy needed not just for your team setup, but for every card you play. Which characters you decide to use and pull for will make a huge impact on your progression speed, and that’s even more true if you are a F2P player. In our\u00a0Chaos Zero Nightmare tier list\u00a0<\/strong>below, we\u00a0ranked all characters<\/strong>\u00a0in CZN based on their\u00a0overall strength and difficulty<\/strong>. So, let’s dive into the rankings and explain why we ranked each character the way we did.<\/p>\n

S Tier<\/strong>: The best overall characters with the potential to be broken, no matter what other characters you are using.<\/p>\n

A Tier<\/strong>: Very good characters that don’t need a lot of support and will perform really well with a proper build.<\/p>\n

B Tier<\/strong>: Characters that are just decent or that can be as good or even better than S\/A-tier ones, but require some other characters on the team or very precise play.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0tier list above<\/strong>, you can see our\u00a0ranking of all characters in\u00a0Chaos Zero Nightmare<\/strong>\u00a0as well as what each tier means. Generally,\u00a0all characters are strong in their own way<\/strong>, and there are\u00a0only a few that you can consider truly broken<\/strong>. What matters most is how you use them and how much misplaying will cost you. Consider the\u00a0S\/A-tier characters<\/strong>\u00a0as those that are\u00a0fairly easy to use<\/strong>\u00a0and that\u00a0perform really well in most cases<\/strong>. However,\u00a0B-tier characters can also be extremely good<\/strong>, but\u00a0aren’t as easy or as reliable\u00a0<\/strong>as the higher-tier ones.<\/p>\n
