4★ Nia — Introduction
Character Introduction
Nia (4★ Instinct · Controller) is a deck-centric support combatant in Chaos Zero Nightmare whose kit revolves around Decibel stacks, discard manipulation, and deck cycling. Her core cards — such as G Chord, Adagio, Mute Accent, Soul Rip, and Nia’s Curiosity — let her discard and activate cards, triggering Decibel gains and forcing Extra Attacks from allies when the deck shuffles. By actively discarding with cards like Mute Accent and using draw/discard sequencing, Nia rapidly builds Decibel and reshapes the draw pile to enable frequent Extra Attacks and hand control.
Her Ego Skill, Rock and Roll, deals AoE damage to all enemies, grants Decibel stacks, and discards the entire draw pile, guaranteeing an upcoming shuffle that triggers Decibel-based Extra Attacks on the next draw. Nia’s strength comes from her ability to manipulate the draw pile, stack Decibel quickly, and enable free card activations through effects like G Chord, making her a valuable support for teams that benefit from frequent Extra Attacks and rapid deck cycling rather than straightforward damage output.
