5★ Khalipe — Introduction
Character Introduction
Khalipe (5★ Instinct · Vanguard) is a frontline hybrid combatant in Chaos Zero Nightmare whose kit combines defense-scaled AoE damage and team shielding. Her signature card, Vulture Ejection, deals defense-based damage to all enemies, grants a shield, and generates Silver Veil — a resource that, when fully stacked, unleashes powerful area damage. Thanks to the Celestial tag on Vulture Ejection, Khalipe can play it for free whenever she uses another card costing 2 AP or more, allowing her to trigger major effects without paying its full AP cost. Other key cards like Greatsword Aquila, Overpower, Rally, and Absolute Protection support both her offensive cohesion and defensive presence while leveraging her core mechanics.
Her Ego Skill, Charisma of Resolve, delivers substantial defense-based damage to all enemies and adds an extra copy of Vulture Ejection to her hand, reinforcing her signature loop and amplifying her AoE output. Khalipe excels at stacking shields and free-triggering powerful defense-scaled attacks through carefully timed activations and high-cost card plays. When executed well, her playstyle naturally balances durable protection with consistent AoE pressure, giving her both survivability and sustained output in extended battles.
