This team focuses on rapid deck cycling to generate [Shadowcraft], [Nova], and shuffle purple cards, maximizing Margiela's Leader Skill uptime for short, burst-oriented encounters. While this build offers high damage potential through derivative card synergy, the current high resource cost makes this version difficult to recommend for beginners. Expect the strategy to reach a new tier once R.Raziel is released.

Team Overview

The core loop revolves around utilizing Lissandra as an engine for cost regeneration and [Shadowcraft] generation. Margiela’s Leader Skill relies on constant card flow. By using Nayuta Nayuta and StellaSmile Stella to aggressively shuffle the deck, this can maximize the frequency of drawing cards.

Lissandra Lissandra’s [Pathfind] is the primary fuel for this engine. By drawing cards, she can either trigger a massive +6 Cost gain (if the drawn card is Red or Purple) or generate [Shadowcraft] while providing an [Unbreakable Shield]. This synergy ensures that even if you don't draw into your primary offensive cards, you are still building the resources needed to sustain Margiela's damage output.

StellaSmile Stella

A versatile support as this team's shuffler. Her purple card [Elegance] can reduce the Leader Skill requirement and its Derivative [Selfie] are used to keep the hand fresh, while her ultimate [Stellar] provides cost reduction to keep the high-resource loop running.

Stella’s Awakens: A2 Recommended

  • A0: A very solid support.
  • A1: Increase max hand size by 1, decent.
  • A2: [Stellar] lasts 3 seconds longer, massive buff to team.
  • A4: A decent amount of base ATK boost.
  • A5: The Effect is not that great, better than nothing.

Lissandra Lissandra

Her [Quest], along with [Avarice] and [Shadowcraft], can reduce the Leader Skill requirement four times. [Pathfind] can utilizes with [Hulton Balloon] to draw two cards, while her Ult [Starfall] provides both damage and crowd control.

Lissandra's Awakenings: A0 is enough

  • A1: Increases team Final DMG when the enemy's HP is below 50%, providing a solid Final DMG boost.
  • A2: After using [Shadowcraft], the next Leader Skill's DMG increases by 50%. This effect is stackable, making it excellent for any Leader that frequently spams their Leader Skill.
  • A4: Provides an ATK and DEF boost, capped at 50%. Since you likely already have other ATK boost sources stacked, this may offer diminishing returns.
  • A5: Only increases Lissandra's personal DMG and does not contribute to the team's rotation or loop.

Nayuta Nayuta

A true godly shuffler. cool_guy No need to elaborate.

Nayuta's Awaken: Godly at A0 already
Nayuta's Awaken is basically a Donate my money button. He's already doing 6767% of the work at A0, the extra Awaken is just giving him a shiny sticker for a good job he already finished.

Tried this team with Suen, thought the cost generation would not be enough but it works a lot better than I expected. Very cool team, great job as always 👍
