Hilde joined Chaos Zero Nightmare on July 29, 2026, arriving with Season 4: Shattered Light and Claws. This sweet-looking Instinct Ranger is all about loading the deck with Homing Arrows, cycling at full speed, and turning a neat little setup into a very messy amount of damage.
This guide covers her core mechanic, Epiphany choices, deck building, equipment, and team options, helping you get her arrow engine running smoothly without all the trial and error.
Overview
Hilde is an Instinct Ranger built around turning card draw into a rapid-fire Extra Attack engine. Quiver Reload seeds the deck with Homing Arrows, which fire, replace themselves, and keep her rotation moving until she reaches a much bigger payoff through Vortex Arrow. She feels best in a lean deck that finds Quiver Reload consistently and exploits repeated ability draws. With the right Epiphanies, she works as either a full-on carry or a flexible sub-DPS with strong AoE pressure.
Core Mechanic: Homing Arrow
Hilde’s whole game plan is basically “load the deck, then let it rip.” Quiver Reload stuffs Homing Arrows into the Draw Pile, and each one costs 0, fires an Extra Attack, draws another card, then Exhausts. That makes them perfect for ripping through the deck while stacking ability-draw counts for her bigger payoffs, especially Vortex Arrow. Once the engine starts, she can chain draws, cycle through her deck fast, and turn a pile of tiny arrows into one seriously explosive damage turn.
Skills & Card
Ego Skill: Matrix Overlay
+25% Weakness Damage Amount taken to all enemies for 1 turn(s).
Draw 3 Attack Card(s) of this unit.
Apply Weakness Attack to those cards for 1 turn.
Matrix Overlay is Hilde’s best burst setup, turning her fast card cycling into a much scarier damage window. It lines up perfectly with Homing Arrow chains and Vortex Arrow scaling, helping her convert all that rapid drawing into one clean, explosive payoff.
Epiphany Cards
Quiver Reload
|
|
||||
|
Create 4 Homing Arrow in Draw Pile, then Draw 1 of those cards |
Create 3 Homing Arrow (Fracture) in Draw Pile |
Create 1 Homing Arrow (Grand) in Draw Pile |
Create 2 Homing Arrow in Draw Pile When an enemy is defeated, create 2 Homing Arrow in Draw Pile (5 times per turn) |
At the start of the turn, create 3 Homing Arrow in Draw Pile Homing Arrow cannot be a target of Turn Draw |
Recommended Pick: E1 / E4
E1 is the best general pick: the extra Homing Arrow raises Hilde’s early damage, while the guaranteed pickup gets her draw engine online faster. E4 is the seasonal specialist, thriving in mob-heavy waves where repeated kills keep feeding her more arrows, letting her snowball through packs without losing momentum.
Plasma Rain
|
|
||||
|
100% Damage and 2 Ionization to all enemies Attunement: 2 Ionization to a random enemy |
3 ionization to all enemies Draw 1 |
100% Damage and 3 Ionization to all enemies Defeat: 3 Fracture to all enemies (max 1 time) |
180% Piercing Damage and 3 Ionization to all enemies |
120% Damage to all enemies Draw 1 Attack Card of this unit Streak: Decrease Cost by 1 |
Recommended Pick: E4
E4 is the best sub-DPS pick because every Homing Arrow activation lowers Plasma Rain’s cost through Ignition. Hilde’s usual card-cycling loop naturally makes its 3-cost manageable, letting her cash out with a powerful 180% Piercing AoE hit while also applying Ionization.
Draw and Release
|
|
||||
|
Draw 2 Attack Cards of this unit +80% Damage Amount to those cards for 1 turn until used |
Draw 2 For the next 3 Extra Attacks of this unit, 1 Fracture to all enemies |
Move all cards in hand to Draw Pile, then Draw for each moved |
Draw 2 Lead cards Decrease Cost of those cards by 1 for 1 turn until used |
Increase Damage Amount of the next Attack Card of this unit by 30% for each card Drawn through an ability this turn (max 300%) |
Recommended Pick: E4 / E3
Use E4 early: pulling two Lead cards with a temporary discount gives Hilde immediate AP efficiency and gets her Homing Arrow engine running before the deck is fully tuned. Once your other cards gain reliable cost-reduction Epiphanies, switch to E3 for free full-hand cycling, faster combo access, and more Vortex Arrow stacks.
Big Game Ranger
|
|
||||
|
On Hit, 3 Zero In |
Draw 2 On Hit, 2 Zero In |
On Hit, 2 Zero In When the Attunement effect is activated, 2 Zero In |
When a harmful effect is applied through an ability, 5 Zero In |
At the start of the turn, 30 Zero In Unable to use Attack Cards of this unit |
Recommended Pick: E2 / E3
E2 is the cleaner sub-DPS pick, giving Hilde a free Draw 2 through Initiation for faster setup without spending AP. E3 fits main-DPS builds better, as Homing Arrow repeatedly triggers Attunement, generating more Zero In and accelerating Hilde’s damage scaling throughout her core loop.
Card Pick & Removal Advice
Go all-in on Hilde’s Extra Attack setup. Add two extra copies of Quiver Reload, since seeing it more often means more Homing Arrows, smoother deck cycling, and a much faster route into her real damage loop.
From there, remove Basic Cards whenever possible so weak draws do not interrupt the chain. For the new season’s Neutral Card slots, Sample Collection and Negotiation are the best fits, giving the deck useful support without diluting the Quiver Reload-focused game plan.
Best Setup

Battlefield Evolution Set |
Executioner's Tool |
|
On Extra Attack, or when an Attack Card is created in Draw Pile, or on Draw through an Attack Card, gain 1 Evolving Battlefield (each max 1 time) |
+25% Critical Damage |
|
Substat Priority: Extra DMG > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK |
|
|
Main Stats for Slots 4/5/6: CRIT Rate / ATK% / ATK% |
|
Battlefield Evolution is practically tailor-made for Hilde: Quiver Reload creates Attack Cards in the Draw Pile, while each Homing Arrow fires as an Extra Attack and draws again, naturally triggering the set throughout her core loop. Executioner’s Tool adds 25% CRIT DMG, making her rapid Extra Attacks hit even harder.
Best Equipment
|
Weapon – Criticism of Discord |
Armor – Fairy King's Crown |
Accessory – Amorphous Cube |
|
|
|
|
Criticism of Discord boosts every ATK-scaling part of Hilde’s kit, from Homing Arrow chains to Vortex Arrow. Fairy King’s Crown improves CRIT consistency across her rapid Extra Attacks, while Amorphous Cube provides an immediate damage boost. It’s a clean, low-maintenance setup that strengthens her entire core rotation.

Hilde |
Built around High-Power Scope IV, this comp clicks because Hilde’s Homing Arrow loop constantly activates Attack Cards, giving Selena plenty of Coordinated Attack triggers. Narja handles the boring-but-crucial stuff: reliable healing and card-cost reduction, making Hilde’s setup and payoff cards easier to squeeze into one turn. The result is steady Extra Attack pressure with smooth AP economy and solid sustain.

Hilde |
Hilde and Hugo make a surprisingly clean dual-DPS core. Her frequent Skill and Upgrade plays—especially Quiver Reload, Draw & Release, and Big Game Ranger—feed Hugo’s Hunting Instincts and keep Commence the Hunt rolling, while Homing Arrows handle her own rapid-fire damage. Cassius rounds it out with card search, deck cycling, healing, and Quest rewards, helping both engines find their pieces and stay online.
Conclusion
Hilde rewards smart deck building more than brute-force card spam: trim the filler, find Quiver Reload early, and let the arrows do their thing. Whether she is your main carry or a punchy sub-DPS, she becomes seriously fun once her draw loop clicks. Still a few pulls short? LDShop offers fast, secure, and budget-friendly Chaos Zero Nightmare top-ups, so you can grab more Crystals and continue chasing Hilde without sending your wallet into a Nightmare too.
