Review
Owen is a mix of AoE Damage, Shielding and a dash of support all in one character. What makes Owen unique is that unlike most DPS combatants, the majority of his cards feature some form of shielding on top of their usual effect. Outside of this, his Wind Charge card can add an extra hit to Attack cards. Lastly, Owen can consistently apply the Vulnerable debuff, which can significantly increase the team's damage output when timed correctly.
Pros
Solid access to AoE.
Strong access to the Vulnerable Debuff.
Some cards shield while also dealing their damage.
Cons
Strongest cards have high AP costs.
Lacks personal damage scaling outside of the extra hit mechanic.
Shielding isn't enough to be a dedicated shielder, and damage sometimes is not enough to be the sole DPS.
Owen ratings aren't available yet. We will add them within a week of the launch.
- Extra Hits: Owen’s main special mechanic lies in his Wind Charge card, which grants an extra hit to the next card he plays. This mechanic enables Owen to double up on damage using powerful, expensive cards. He can also tutor that card back to hand using his Wind Riding card.
Raging Storm
Ego Skill
250% Shield.
Show Effects
Raging Storm
Owen’s Ego Skill is called Whirling Storm. It’s a better version of his Gale Strike card, with Shield multipliers as high as the damage multiplier on the card. Great for getting out of a bad situation, as emergency shields, while also potentially eliminating an enemy threat.
Downward Cut
Downward Cut
A basic attack card. The only upgrades it gets from Potential nodes simply increase its damage.
Weapon Block
Show Effects
Weapon Block
A basic shield card. Doesn’t get any meaningful upgrades outside of the +20% from Potential 2.
Wind Charge
Wind Charge
A great card to combo with expensive, powerful attack cards. Adds an extra hit to an attack, so it is more effective when used with cards that already have a high damage multiplier. Extra hits also scale well with damage buffs.
Wind Slash
Wind Slash
A 2-cost AoE Attack card with a high damage multiplier. Great with Wind Charge
Break Armor
2 Vulnerable.
Show Effects
Break Armor
A 1-cost Attack card that deals low damage and inflicts 2 stacks of the [Vulnerable] debuff, which causes enemies to take 50% more damage, removing one stack per hit.
Wind Riding
Move Wind Charge from Discard Pile to hand
Show Effects
Wind Riding
A 1-cost basic Shield Skill card with the added ability to tutor Wind Charge back to the hand from the Discard Pile.
Gale Strike
80% Shield.
Show Effects
Gale Strike
A simple 2-cost Attack card that deals very high single-target damage, with a bit of bonus Shields attached to it. Best against bosses, and pairs well with Wind Charge.
- 3-1: A basic Damage multiplier increase for Owen’s Wind Slash card. Good, but not a high-priority upgrade to spend your limited weekly resources on.
- 5-1: A tiny 5% damage multiplier bump, further increased by another 5% when Owen’s Health is greater than 600. Low priority.
- 7: Another tiny 4% multiplier bump, this time applying to all his cards, thanks to providing a raw Attack and Defense bonus. Better investment than 5-1, but still very minor. Increases by another 4% when his Health is greater than 1100.
Standard Playstyle
Owen’s gameplay is based around abusing his Wind Charge card to multiply his high multiplier attacks. Apply Vulnerable with Break Armor, add hits to attacks with Wind Charge, and unleash 2-cost attacks to take down the enemy. Wind Slash is especially good for mopping up summoned minions during a boss fight. Use Wind Riding to tutor Wind Charge back into hand for even more extra hits.
Tips:
- Use Wind Charge with Wind Slash against groups of enemies.
- Try to use Break Armor first if possible for maximum damage from Vulnerable stacks. Works great with the Wind Charge Epiphany that adds 3 extra hits.
- Use Wind Charge with Gale Strike against bosses.
- Use Wind Riding to tutor Wind Charge back to your hand for further combos. Works best with discounted versions of cards.

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!
