Review
Rin utilizes the Dark Mist Stance to enhance her abilities. She enters this stance through specific cards and only exits the stance when another Combatant plays an Attack card. While the stance is active, most of Rin's cards gain additional effects that allow her to deal fantastic single-target damage while also buffing herself, improving AP efficiency, and increasing hit counts, damage multipliers, and more. Playing Rin is all about chaining together attacks and staying in her stance as consistently as possible.
Pros
Fantastic single-target damage output (when set up correctly).
Self Card Draw.
Great self-damage scaling while Dark Cloud Stance is maintained and when played with Skill-heavy allies.
Cons
No AoE Cards.
Must maintain Dark Cloud Stance to remain effective.
Other Combatants' Attack Cards end Dark Cloud Stance in most cases, restricting your team options.
Rin ratings aren't available yet. We will add them within a week of the launch.
- Dark Cloud Stance: Dark Mist Stance is a keyword on almost all of Rin’s cards; some allow her to enter it while others gain bonus effects while she’s within it. Dark Mist Stance can be tracked either via the buff menu or an icon under the team HP bar, which is either lit up or not based on whether the stance is active. After entering, Rin will remain within the stance until another combatant uses an Attack Card, after which she’ll immediately exit it.
Dark Mist Secret Ark: Slash
Ego Skill
Show Effects
Dark Mist Secret Ark: Slash
Rin’s Ego Skill, Black Mist Secret Ark: Slash costs an expensive 6EP but does very high single-target damage and applies 2 Vulnerable stacks which, when timed correctly, can dramatically increase Rin’s combo damage.
Dark Mist Sword: First Form Attack
Dark Mist Sword: First Form Attack
A basic 1AP Attack card which is an unremarkable baseline but can be upgraded to put Rin into Dark Mist Stance on use, improving its utility.
Dark Mist Sword: Third Form Attack
Dark Mist Sword: Third Form Attack
Identical to First Form, but costs 2AP, not 1, and does more damage. Still gains the same benefit from potentials but is more costly to access.
Protection

Protection
Rin’s basic shield is completely standard and doesn't have any extra synergy with her kit.
Drawing Slash
Obtain Dark Mist Stance.
Dark Mist Blade Art: +50% Damage.
Show Effects
Drawing Slash
A 0-cost Attack card that deals solid damage and, most importantly, grants Dark Mist Stance. Also, if used when already in Dark Mist stance gains a multiplicative +50% damage boost, taking its unbuffed damage from 120% to 180%. The best card in Rin’s starter deck and one of her best overall, full stop.
Dark Mist Secret Art: Destruction
Gain Dark Mist Stance.
Show Effects
Dark Mist Secret Art: Destruction
A 0AP Skill card that draws 1 card and puts Rin into the Dark Mist Stance. Outside of taking an action in front of enemies, there is very little downside to this card, but it’s also not very useful in most Rin decks until Epiphanies unless you find yourself frequently falling out of Dark Mist.
Dark Mist Secret Art: Annihilation
Dark Mist Blade Art: +1 Damage count.
Show Effects
Dark Mist Secret Art: Annihilation
A 1AP 150% DMG Attack that deals its damage twice while in Dark Mist Stance. One of Rin’s better damage cards, baseline, you’ll definitely want as soon as possible, but it becomes far stronger with Epiphanies.
Dark Mist Inner Art
Dark Mist Blade Art: For 1 turn, +30% Attack Card Damage.
Show Effects
Dark Mist Inner Art
Rin’s primary buff card is a skill that costs 1AP, preserves Dark Mist Stance for 1 turn on use (won't be removed with other combatant attacks) and increases her Attack Card damage by an Additive +30% for 1 turn if you’re in Dark Mist Stance when used. A bit of an underwhelming effect baseline for its cost and 1 turn duration, but does get better with Epiphanies.
Dark Mist Secret Art: Black Dance
Dark Mist Blade Art: +1 Damage count according to the number of Skill cards in the hand (Max 5 times).
Show Effects
Dark Mist Secret Art: Black Dance
Rin’s best damage and payoff card, which scales very well with the additive damage from Inner Art and Morale-like effects. Costs 1AP to use and deals 80% ATK, but while Dark Mist is active gains an additional hit per skill card you have in hand, up to 5, for a total potential multiplier of 480% minimum. Note: With Inner Art Active and 5 skills, this skill scales like this. (80% + 30%) x 6 = 660%.
Rin’s Signature Potentials offer significant damage boosts as well as some additional functionality, making them a high priority to unlock.
- 3-1: Adds Dark Mist Stance to her basic attacks, making it an absolute must-have as soon as possible to ensure consistent starts to battles.
- 5-1: Increases both of Rin’s basic attacks by +5% and if her ATK is greater than 500, grants a further +5% boost.
- 7: When Rin’s ATK is over 600, she gains +5% Crit Rate and for every 40, grants a further 1% up to a cap of 10% for a total of 15%.
Standard Playstyle
Rin is a set-up and combo-based combatant that requires careful team and deck building to work well. When playing Rin, ensure you’re always in Dark Mist Stance when using a card that can be empowered by it. To achieve this, either build decks without Attack Cards from other combatants or have enough ways to continually enter or preserve the stance. Next should be maximizing buffs and AP available for Rin to allow for effective comboing, and if possible, having as many skills in the deck as is viable to maximize Black Dance’s hit count.

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!
