Chaos Zero Nightmare Hilde Pull Value and Sub-DPS Build Guide

Hilde is worth pulling in Chaos Zero Nightmare if your roster already features an established main carry. She operates as an off-field sub-DPS and offensive amplifier who applies vulnerability debuffs, shreds enemy defense, and triggers passive arrow volleys when allies attack. Because she contributes high-value supplemental damage at low Action Point (AP) costs, she elevates team damage ceilings without clogging your hand.

However, players starting fresh accounts without a foundational damage dealer should skip or delay pulling her. Hilde amplifies active teammates rather than functioning as a self-sufficient solo anchor.

Should You Pull Hilde?

Summoning Hilde depends primarily on your current roster maturity and whether you have a primary striker ready to convert her damage amplification.

Account Stage	Pull Recommendation	Primary Reason
New Accounts	Skip or Secondary Priority	Requires a dedicated hypercarry to capitalize on debuffs and clear early campaign content.
Mid-Game Progression	High Priority	Alleviates single-target damage checks and improves draw efficiency without heavy relic farming.
End-Game Rosters	High Priority Target	Supplies off-turn scaling and defense shredding necessary for high-tier rifts and boss speed clears.

If your account already has a reliable damage dealer, Hilde offers exceptional long-term pull value. Her kit does not demand round-centering card strings, which keeps her versatile across shifting combat encounters. If your roster lacks an anchor, secure a primary damage carry before spending summoning currency on specialized off-field amplifiers.

Hilde Kit Mechanics and Deck Building

Hilde excels because she deals supplemental damage without draining energy from your main carry. Her core design utilizes low-cost cards to apply debuffs like defense reduction, bleed, and vulnerability, alongside automatic follow-up strikes whenever allies play offensive cards.

To keep Hilde functioning efficiently, structure her deck around low action costs and deck-thinning priorities:

Retain Low-Cost Debuffs: Keep utility cards that cost 0 to 1 AP and apply armor shred or vulnerability. These allow Hilde to soften priority targets before your main attacker begins their sequence.
Prioritize Passive Triggers: Upgrade skills that store passive arrow volleys or trigger secondary strikes on ally attacks. These abilities supply continuous chip damage and break enemy shields without consuming manual draw actions.
Purge Expensive Attack Cards: Remove costly, standalone strike cards from Hilde’s card pool as soon as possible. High-cost attacks bloat your hand and take energy away from your primary striker.
Target Card Draw and Energy Epiphanies: Choose Epiphanies that draw additional cards when debuffs are played, or refund AP when an enemy marked with her vulnerability is eliminated.

Team Synergies

Because Hilde generates off-turn attacks when teammates strike, she pairs best with carries that feature high attack frequency or rely on heavy single-target burst.

Dual-Core Rapid-Strike Compositions: Pair Hilde with a fast-cycling frontline carry. Each attack the carry plays triggers Hilde’s passive volleys. Combined with her pre-applied vulnerability markers, this combination reliably burns through high-health boss phases.
Support and Cleave Compositions: When running defensive tanks or dedicated buffers, use Hilde as a low-cost secondary damage engine. Her 0-cost and 1-cost cards leave ample AP for your buffer to support the carry, while her passive strikes clear secondary adds without requiring the carry to redirect primary burst skills.

Investment Breakpoints

Hilde is fully functional at base copy (E0) because her core debuffs and off-field triggers are built directly into her base kit.

Early Breakthroughs: Reduce cooldowns or lower the stack requirements needed to trigger her follow-up arrow volleys, speeding up team activation.
Late Breakthroughs: Scale her vulnerability and defense-shred percentages, which helps carries push through extreme armor values in late-game content.

Because Hilde relies directly on the damage and actions of her allies, prioritize gearing and stat optimization on your main carry first. Keep Hilde at her functional base copy with a lean, purged deck before investing limited duplicate resources into her higher breakthrough levels.
