Smilegate has released the second content update for season 5 of Galactic Disaster for Chaos Zero Nightmare, which adds new characters Blazebell and Vivian. It also adds new events, quality-of-life updates, and more.
A press release outlines the new update:
In the second chapter of the Season 5 story, the Captain (the protagonist) and their party, who have been continuing their operation in the Chaos “Celestial Bulwark” on the frozen planet “Nivalis,” rescue “Blazebell,” the head of House Freyja, and the story unfolds from there. Blazebell harbors a deep resentment toward the Empire, and the secrets of her past will be revealed as the story progresses.
The 2nd Supply Store for the Chaos “Celestial Bulwark” has also opened. At the 2nd Supply Store, players can obtain a variety of rewards, including the “Omega Code,” which enables “Ego Manifestation (Transcendence)” for a Combatant of their choice.
Blazebell, the head of House Freyja who appears in this story, is also introduced as a new Combatant. She is a Justice-attribute Controller Combatant whose skills are built around a “fire” concept. When used, her core card, “Fluttering Embers,” grants AP and draws additional cards to support allies. A new Partner, “Vivian,” has also been added. Vivian increases the Defense of the assigned Combatant and, depending on how “Bind” is used, boosts the damage and Critical Chance of Justice allies.
New systems and improvements to enhance the gameplay experience are also being steadily introduced. “The Great Rift,” where players hunt bosses and compete for rankings, can now be enjoyed in two modes: “Subjugation Battle” and “Merit Battle.” In Subjugation Battle, players can play casually and test various strategies without competing for rankings, while Merit Battle offers full-fledged competition as before. In addition, a Boss Strategy feature that provides information on how to take on bosses and a Recommended Formation feature for Combatants have been newly introduced to improve convenience.
Furthermore, the much-requested “Battle Speed” feature has been added, making overall gameplay noticeably faster, while Combatant growth has also been improved with the addition of the “Divine Epiphany Removal” feature and the “Memory Fragment Substat Selective Crafting and Readjustment” feature. A variety of customization features for “Profile,” “Save Data,” and “ID Card” have also been added.
New events are also opening. First, to celebrate Blazebell’s release, the “Flame That Illuminates Memories” event, running until December 2, lets players relive memories of Blazebell’s past, complete missions, and earn Crystals and Growth Currency. The well-received “Nightmare Dream Park” event, currently underway, is adding a new minigame, “Rules of Good Order.” Players can earn rewards by clearing stages that involve tasks such as repairing rides in the Dream Park.
Chaos Zero Nightmare is available now for Android via Google Play, iOS via App Store, and PC via STOVE. Recently, Smilegate and Supercreative announced that Choi Seung Hyun will be the new producer for the deck-building roguelike game. In the future, there will be a shift to Combatant Design Direction, improved save data acquisition, and new principles on Combatant value. The “Nightmare Carnival” event is still ongoing until December 2.
