Review
Kayron's cards are absurdly expensive but also output incredible single-target and AoE damage while also interacting with his main mechanic—Futility. Most of Kayron's cards either create Futility cards or deal more damage from Exhausting them. Futility is a 1-cost Status Ailment card that exhausts when played, with no additional effects at base. Through his Upgrade Oath of Vanity and its Epiphanies, Futility can be upgraded to deal damage and heal. Before this, they do nothing more than burn AP and clog the deck.
Kayron's game plan is simple: turn Futility into useful cards through Oath of Vanity, use as many of them as possible to empower Kayron's kit, and work to minimize the cost of his expensive cards through Epiphanies, Exhausts, and team building.
Pros
Incredible single-target and AoE damage potential.
Has many gameplay-altering Epiphanies - both mechanically and damage-wise.
Becomes stronger the longer the fights drag on.
High AP costs can be bypassed with smart play.
Cons
Many very AP expensive cards.
Main mechanic Futility is not fully functional without Gold card Oath of Vanity.
Gains so much power from Epiphanies that his base deck can feel awkward and underwhelming.
Hard to play.

Futility
Status
Show Effects
- Futility: A status ailment card created by many of Kayron’s cards that costs 1AP, does nothing on use, but is exhausted after. Can be upgraded to deal damage and heal with Oath of Vanity and Epiphanies.
- X: Some of Kayron’s cards/epiphanies specify X. X means the card will consume all available AP when used and scale the X value in the effect by the amount used.
Rift of Nothingness
Ego Skill
Exhaust all Futility in hand.
+80% Damage for each.
Show Effects
Rift of Nothingness
Cost 4 EP to perform an AoE attack dealing 200% damage. Additionally, Exhausts all Futility cards in hand to increase damage by 80% per card exhausted. An effective way to get rid of a bunch of Futility cards generated during the turn while also laying down some nice AoE damage. A key ability in ensuring you don’t clog your deck too badly in longer fights.
Elimination
Elimination
Kayron’s Basic Attack card hits a whole lot harder than most characters and also generates Futility on use thanks to his Potentials.
Sphere
Show Effects
Sphere
Kayron’s basic Heal card, not a card you’ll be focusing on but does also gain the ability to generate Futility thanks to potentials.
Echo of Futility
Futility Create 2 card(s).
Echo of Futility
A 1 cost high damage single target ability that generates 2 Futility as opposed to the 1 Karyon’s basics do.
Brand of Annihilation
On card Exhaust, Cost of this card -1 for 1 turn.
Show Effects
Brand of Annihilation
An immensely expensive 3AP Attack Card that hits incredibly hard in full AoE. Thankfully, it is able to be discounted by 1 AP every single card that is exhausted this turn, allowing it to achieve 0 cost with a well-structured hand. This card is one of the main reasons Kayron is so strong in AoE and only gets stronger with Epiphanies.
Black Hole
+40% Damage per Exhausted Futility.
Show Effects
Black Hole
A 2AP single-target Attack card that deals 240% baseline but gains an additional +40% damage multiplier per Futility that has been exhausted in this fight. This bonus has… no limit, making it an absolute monster in extended fights in decks that can quickly and easily generate and exhaust Futility.
Oath of Vanity
Show Effects
Oath of Vanity
Oath of Vanity is the focal point of Kayron’s kit and is an upgrade that, after being activated, transforms his Futility from useless fodder into a useful attack or even more exotic things with Epiphanies. Getting Oath of Vanity online as early as possible should be a priority, as Kayron’s ability to exhaust Futility outside of using them is limited, and you’d rather be using them for something useful.
Echoes of True Abyss
Create 3 Futility cards.
+40% Damage as that amount.
Echoes of True Abyss
Deals single-target damage and generates 3 Futility cards; another excellent but expensive Futility generator.
Kayron’s Signature Potentials offer huge damage boosts as well as key additional functionality, making them a high priority to unlock.
- 3-1: Increases the multiplier of Kayron’s Basic Cards by a whipping +50% and causes them to generate a Futility when played. Absolutely key to helping get Kayron off the ground faster.
- 5-1: Further increases the damage of Kayron’s Basic Attack by 5%, or 10% if his Attack stat is 500 or more.
- 7: If Kayron’s ATK is 600 or higher, he gains +5% Crit DMG and for every 40 over 600 he gains a further 1% up to a cap of 10% for 15% total.
Standard Playstyle
Kayron’s entire kit revolves around generating and exhausting Futility cards as much as possible in order to make the rest of his cards stronger. Additionally, you can find Upgrades and Epiphanies to make Futility cards have better effects when played. His gameplay follows this general loop:
- Generate Futility cards with Echo of Futility, Echo of the Unbound, and his basic attacks (after Potential 3-1).
- Upgrade Futility into useful cards with Oath of Vanity.
- Exhaust Futility cards by playing them directly or using his Ego Skill.
- Unleash burst damage with Brand of Annihilation and Black Hole.

Important!
CZN is a game of randomness; sometimes you’ll be offered generic or Divine epiphanies that are stronger than a character's standard five options. In these cases, breaking the listed build can result in an even more powerful save. Adjust as you see fit!
