Season 2 is generally considered a regression compared to Season 1. In particular, the newly added secret boss content offers meager rewards for its high risk, and the overall content recycling and unnecessary nerfs in the season have also been criticized. While it's good for the development team to experiment with new content, they must provide tangible value and rewards to players. 📉 Regression from Season 1: Many players feel that Season 2 lacks the fun and rewards of Season 1. 🚫 Unnecessary Nerfs: Some enjoyable mechanics were unnecessarily nerfed, leading to player dissatisfaction. 🎁 Lack of Tangible Rewards: New content fails to provide substantial value and rewards.

Season 2's secret boss is disappointing in several ways compared to Season 1's additional bosses. It appears mid-run, posing a very high risk of run termination, but the rewards are minimal: unique equipment (useful only under specific conditions), 100 credits, and achievements. Furthermore, UI position changes have led to many players unintentionally encountering the boss and experiencing run terminations. ⚠️ High Risk, Low Reward: High risk of run termination, but rewards don't meet expectations. 🔄 UI Error: Unintentional encounters with the secret boss often ruin runs. 📉 Loss of Replay Motivation: Poor rewards discourage players from attempting it again.

The 'Necrosis' mechanic, re-applied to the Nebula Distortion 'Rebellious God', is a debuff that deals fixed damage every time you heal. Since the damage increases with the amount of healing, it's more effective to use a Spore Beryl Deck instead of a Tipera deck that relies heavily on healing. When using healing cards, always check your remaining HP to avoid sudden death. 💀 Understanding Necrosis Mechanic: Deals fixed damage on healing, so avoid healing-focused decks. 🍄 Utilize Spore Beryl Deck: A Spore Beryl Deck, with low healing dependency, is advantageous for countering the 'Necrosis' mechanic. ❤️ HP Management is Crucial: Check HP before using healing cards and be mindful of increased damage with repeated use.

'Flash Nine' maximizes damage through 'Corrupted Spores', which are generated whenever 'Spore Harvester' is preserved. 'Corrupted Spores' apply a debuff that increases damage taken by monsters and then vanish. 'Flash Nine's damage increases every time a vanish card is used. Utilize 'Blade Starfall' and 'Seasoned Strike' to benefit from the damage increase on vanish, and use remaining cost for additional damage. 💥 Utilize Corrupted Spores: Vanish 'Corrupted Spores' generated by 'Spore Harvester' to amplify damage. 🗡️ Vanish Card Synergy: Actively use vanish cards like 'Blade Starfall' and 'Seasoned Strike' that increase damage on vanish. ⚙️ Equipment Priority: Prioritize damage increase options to maximize damage.

'Beryl' uses 'Hidden Chocolate Bar' to trigger the preserve effect for all her cards in hand, so 'Spore Harvester' must be held by Beryl. Only one 'Spore Harvester' should be included, and it should be pumped as much as possible using 'Hidden Chocolate Bar'. Use the pumped 'Spore Harvester' on the boss to increase damage taken, and deal burst damage by reducing the cost of 'Shatter'. 🍫 Utilize Hidden Chocolate Bar: Massively duplicate 'Spore Harvester' with 'Hidden Chocolate Bar'. 🃏 Spore Harvester Management: 'Spore Harvester' should be held by Beryl, and only one copy should be used for maximum efficiency. 🚨 Necrosis Mechanic Warning: Healing cards incur 'Necrosis' damage, so always check HP and use them cautiously.

Tipera has proven her powerful performance by taking 1st and 2nd place as the main DPS in the Asia server's Great Rift rankings. Notably, two completely different builds, E0 and E6, ranked high, indicating that Tipera is considered a better DPS than Charon and that various build researches are actively underway. The potential of the E0 build, which can achieve high scores without duplication, is also noteworthy. 🏆 Dominating Top Ranks: Tipera secured 1st and 2nd place in Asia server rankings, proving her strong DPS. ✨ Diverse Build Possibilities: Both E0 and E6 ranked high, indicating active research into various builds. 📈 Surpassing Charon: Currently considered a better DPS than Charon.

The core of this E0 Tipera build is to stack Softy Stacks as much as possible before Tipera's 9-cost ultimate. Start with 'One of All', prepare Softy Stacks with 'Bombardment Prep', and remove hands with 'Creation and Destruction', but be careful not to remove hands too quickly to secure turns for attacking the head. Utilizing Aurelia partner Noel's fixed damage skill to defeat hands can save Softy Damage Boost. 🌟 Maximize Softy Stacks: It's crucial to stack Softy Stacks as much as possible before the 9-cost ultimate. ✋ Hand Removal Strategy: Efficiently remove hands with 'Creation and Destruction' and Noel's fixed damage to secure turns for head attacks. 🎲 High RNG Dependence: Relies heavily on randomness like critical hits and 9-cost rolls, but has great potential.

The core of the Rank 1 user's E6 Tipera build is to continuously maintain Archetype Damage Boost by utilizing the E6 trait. Use two 0-cost 'Creation and Destruction' cards, one RNG 'Creation and Destruction' card, and 'Dual Creation' (generates all Archetype cards, generates AP) on Tipera. After defeating hands one by one, repeatedly use the 9-cost ultimate on the head every turn to deal massive damage. Thanks to Tipera's E6 trait, continuous high-firepower attacks are possible while maintaining the damage boost. 🔥 Utilize E6 Trait: The key is to continuously maintain Archetype Damage Boost. 🔄 Ultimate Repetition: After removing hands, repeatedly use the 9-cost ultimate on the head every turn for burst damage. 💪 Sustained High Firepower: E6 trait allows for stable, high-firepower attacks by maintaining the damage boost.
