Review
Selena can pursue many playstyles thanks to how transformative her Epiphanies are, but primarily revolves around applying Mark to perform lots of Additional Attacks and breaking the enemy with Tenacity Damage and Passion Weakness to trigger Break effects. Her high attack frequency makes her scale well with Morale and other damage buffs, and Mark’s Attack card requirement incentivizes running her with attack spam characters.
Pros
Depletes Tenacity Gauges quickly with direct Tenacity Damage and Passion Weakness.
Very consistent Mark application for steady Additional Attack damage
Works well with other Passion characters with her Passion Weakness application (as well as Combo effects in her Epiphanies)
Capable single-target potential with some solid AoE options.
Has many transformative Epiphanies that change cards, entirely opening new playstyles.
Cons
Most damage comes from Mark, which requires playing lots of Attack cards to trigger, limiting her team options.
Backloaded Mark damage can be wasted when an enemy dies with untriggered stacks.
Selena ratings aren't available yet. We will add them within a week of the launch.
- Mark: Mark is a stackable debuff that Selena can apply through a wide variety of her cards, forming the core of her kit. When an enemy is marked and an Attack card is used, Selena will fire an additional attack toward the marked target/s, dealing 100% ATK damage. To take advantage of this, Mark generation needs to be combined with high-frequency attacks to achieve the best results.
- Break: The other mechanic core to Selena’s identity is break and tenacity damage. Many of Selena’s abilities cause her attacks and additional attacks to either inflict additional tenacity damage or increase the tenacity damage dealt by a %. Building on this, Selena also has abilities that provide additional benefit each time an enemy is broken, further incentivizing a high tenacity damage break playstyle.
- Response: Triggers listed “Response” effect when drawn naturally or via card effect.
- Break: A debuff that causes the enemy to be treated as though they are Passion weak for all combatant attacks while it remains active. It is duration-based, not hit-count-based.
Final Shot
Ego Skill
3 Mark.
Show Effects
Final Shot
Costs 5 EP, deals a strong amount of single-target damage, and most importantly, immediately applies 3 Mark. Should be used as early as possible on the primary target to prevent mark waste and to allow Selena to begin her Mark fuelled rapid fire assault.
Engagement Fire
Engagement Fire
Selena’s basic attack is normal, but gains the ability to deal Piercing Damage and a significant damage enhancement from Potentials. In addition to this, Engagement Fire is also a perfectly suitable and accessible tool for triggering marks.
Emergency Shielding
Show Effects
Emergency Shielding
Selena’s basic shield is completely standard and doesn't have any extra synergy with her kit.
High-Power Scope
Show Effects
High-Power Scope
One of Selena’s core Mark sources, which costs 1AP and applies 2 Mark to a target on use. Not overwhelmingly powerful at a baseline, but can be significantly improved via Epiphanies.
Target Spotted
Response: 1 Mark to random enemies.
Show Effects
Target Spotted
Selena’s other primary Mark generator, which functions very differently. Generates 1 Mark on 1 random enemy via its Response effect when drawn. Outside of this costs 1AP to use and deals a solid amount of damage, but nothing else. A solid card, as it doesn’t HAVE to be used in order to gain value while still being there as a hit to activate marks if Selena needs
Drone Bombing
Show Effects
Drone Bombing
Deals AoE damage to all targets and applies Passion Weakness for 1 turn, guaranteeing this turn's hits will deal tenacity and direct damage as though the enemy were weak to Passion. Synergizes well with Selena’s goal of breaking enemies while also adding a dash of AoE to her kit.
Tactical Maneuver
2 Tenacity Damage.
Show Effects
Tactical Maneuver
Grants a larger-than-average shield and deals 2 Tenacity damage to a target of your choice immediately. Great for locking in breaks on enemies while also offering some defensive benefits.
Sniper's Domain
Show Effects
Sniper's Domain
Selena’s only upgrade baseline cost 0AP, is unique, and boosts Mark damage by +40%. A simple, strong damage multiplier for one of the largest portions of Selena’s damage.
Selena’s Signature Potentials offer significant damage boosts as well as some additional functionality, making them a high priority to unlock.
- 3-1: Causes Engagement Fire to deal Piercing Damage, which ignores enemy shields.
- 5-1: Increases Engagement Fire’s damage multiplier by +5% with an additional +5% bonus granted if Bonus Additional Damage exceeds 15%.
- 7: Increases Passion DMG% by +4% passively, with a further +4% increase unlocked if Bonus Additional Damage exceeds 30%..
Standard Playstyle
Selena is a mix of two playstyles: Additional Attacks via Mark and Break through her tenacity damage and Passion Weakness. You may choose to specialize in one more heavily than the other, but regardless of which you choose, Selena’s game plan remains the same. Establish buffs and marks, then trigger as many additional attacks as possible either through her own attacks or her teammates to unleash a barrage of high damage gunfire.

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!
