Chaos Zero Nightmare - Tiphera

Chaos Zero Nightmare - Tiphera

Standalone Character | v1.0.12-beta

Create your next play. Gather Stars. Find a new combination.

Tiphera from Chaos Zero Nightmare joins Slay the Spire 2 as a standalone playable character, with her own cards, relics, potions and Japanese combat presentation. This is a gameplay Mod, not a cosmetic skin.

Playstyles

• Creation & Enhanced Image: generate Archetype cards, build up supported cards in your hand and turn a growing hand into a stronger payoff.
• Stars & Star Thresholds: manage Stars and sequence your plays to unlock additional effects. Thresholds check your Stars before payment.
• Off-Color Combinations: weave other characters' cards and Colorless cards into your deck, finding new ways to attack, defend and keep the turn going.

Regulation adds another sequencing tool: on cards with this effect, matching the card's current energy cost to your remaining Energy triggers its bonus.

Compatibility and Installation

• Version: v1.0.12-beta for STS2 public-beta v0.111.0.
• No required library Mods: no BaseLib, RitsuLib or separate CznCore installation.
• Multiplayer: all participants need the same Tiphera version.

Settings and Performance

• Use CZN Mod Config to adjust voice, combat effects, particles and full-screen presentation. The in-combat cut-in button provides a quick presentation toggle.
• For heavy scenes, disable extra particles or reduce full-screen presentation and cap the game at 60 FPS.
• First-time playback may stutter while assets load into memory; later playback may be smoother. Performance varies by hardware and other installed Mods.
• Multiplayer: use CZN Mod Config > Teammate Presentation to reduce teammate effects and audio. Teammate Tiphera UG / UX uses regular skill presentation instead of full-screen cinematics.

Rendering driver: if high-effect scenes are unstable, try adding --rendering-driver opengl3 to the game's Steam launch options.



Combat speed-up Mods: disable them before playing or reporting presentation issues; they can skip animation events and cause missing effects or instability.

Optional Telemetry

Optional telemetry requires RitsuLib. RitsuLib is not required to play.

Feedback

Balance and compatibility remain under Beta testing. Please include the card name, upgrade state, relevant powers, game/Mod versions and other installed Mods when reporting issues. A screenshot or short clip helps.
