How to Team Up Cassius
Cassius works best when paired with characters that rely on specific card combinations.

If he starts Quest: Full House, the battle often becomes an easy win.However, compared to other supports, his healing ability is noticeably weak, whose effect is too minor to be reliable. If your team lacks strong shields or powerful DPS characters, it’s generally better to pick another support to maintain stability in battle.

In ideal condition, the game becomes an easy play if Cassius draws the Quest: Fullhouse. Mika continuously generates AP, while Cassius draws cards. Renoa gets enough AP to generate Dirge Bullets and unleash Last-Ditch Assault (Chaos Zero Nightmare Renoa Build Guide provides more details to exploit her skills). Nevertheless, this setup depends on luck. You can complete multiple Quest loops until there are no cards in Draw Pile if you are really lucky. |
