Hello!

Spooky here, the girl who likes Clementine way too much....

---

This Clementine guide will be updated for Future content.

Last Update: 9th June 2026

This Guide will go over both Support Clementine and Dps Clementine!

---

Clementine is an Ultra Chorus support that rivals with Thais as one of The Best Supports in game.

Clementine provides:

Strength, Keyflare, Healing, DMG taken, DMG down, Sub DPS and if you're crazy like me, she can be Main Dps!

She's the best Strength and Keyflare unit at the moment.

---

PASSIVES:

Symbiosis is Clementine's main gimmick, every attack instance from her Command cards gives her 1 symbiosis and she can hold up to 10 symbiosis. (15 at E3, 20 at AA)

For every keyflare that Clementine has, she gains 0.35 Crit Rate and Crit Dmg.

Clementine's soulforge increases Strength gained by all Awakeners in the team up to 15%.

For "Insectoid" enemies, Clementine inflicts up to 100% bleed of the DMG she dealt and when healing/shielding, enemies lose temporary Strength equal to 30% of Clementine's DEF.

---

CARDS:

All of Clementine's cards have Quasar

(Leap but during Ultra round instead of being able to activate the leap ability at any moment multiple times, the cards gain -1 Arithmetica and abilities that affect leap don't work on quasar cards.)

When Clementine's Quasar is activated, you gain Strength based on Clementine's ATK and Cards Level. (You should max out all levels on cards)

It's Important to Quasar in teams where Strength matters. (Kath, Mouchette, Doreisan, Liz etc.) but not in teams where Strength doesn't matter. (Pollux and Castor)

Rouse (2 Cost) :

Gain Alimeus up to 50 and Clementine's first card played gains DMG, Shield, Healing, Alimeus and Keyflare instances by +2.

Clementine's Rouse is very important and a top priority in any teams.

Strike and Defense are basic and don't have any other changes other than Quasar.

You will be mostly playing these cards (Strike > Defense since Strike grants Symbiosis stacks) to trigger Rouse effect and Quasar since they are cheap and give you a ton of Aliemus.

Pain Extraction (3 cost) Retain and Prepare 1:

Deals 3 Instances of DMG and gain 150% clementine's keyflare.

Just let it sit in your hand and play it whenever it reaches 0 Arithmetica cost.

(or play it whenever you don't have any other Clementine cards to Quasar)

SoulSalve (2 cost) :

Heal based on Clementine's CON, Reduce temporary Strength of all enemies based on Clementine's DEF and remove Madness (Enemy Ability that makes the enemy hit +1 more and it's very deadly)

Use it to heal whenever you need it or to remove Madness.

---

EXALT:

Removes all Symbiosis and converts them into Psychic Trauma or Phobic Fixation on all Enemies for 1 Turn.

Deal DMG up to 300% ATK of Clementine's ATK and gain up to 300% Keyflare of Clementine's Keyflare.

Psychic Trauma increases DMG Taken by enemies 3% for each symbiosis removed

Phobic Fixation decreases DMG Dealt by enemies 3% for each symbiosis removed

These debuffs are special since they are multiplicative with other Final bonus multipliers (Vulnerability, Weakness, etc.)

For example with Vulnerability (50%) and Psychic Trauma at 10 symbiosis stacks (30%) instead of 80% more DMG, it's gonna be 95% more DMG!

When entering Ultra turn, Psychic Trauma/Phobic Fixation will disappear but you will get 50 Keyflare/2 Alimeus to other Awakeners for each stack.

Clementine's Exalt is one of the most powerful abilities in this game and by playing strikes and defense with rouse effect and some other abilities like wheels, you will be getting her Exalt extremely frequent.

---

ENLIGHTENS:

Clementine works perfectly fine at E0 but her enlighments do add a lot especially to her Exalt.

Enlighten 1:

You get 5 symbiosis at the start of the fight and Exalt gets 20% base DMG.

The 5 Symbiosis at the turn start is very good, more DMG on Exalt is alright.

• Good Priority

Enlighten 2:

Exalt provides 200% more Keyflare, for each Symbiosis removed gives Clementine more 3% base DMG and at the end of the fight Clementine gains 25% base DMG.

This enables her to be a good Sub DPS and more keyflare is always Welcome.

• Good Priority

Enlighten 3:

At turn end, get 2 Symbiosis and max stack of Symbiosis increase to 15.

A buff to her overpowered Exalt is big.

• Great Priority
• Enlighment 3 is a great stopping point.

Over-Exalt:

Gives Strength equal to 50% of Clementine's ATK and 300% more Keyflare. Symbiosis removed from Exalt is converted into both Psychic Trauma and Phobic Fixation.

Really good for Awakeners that care for Strength.

• Great Priority

Absolute Axiom:

When Roused, all DMG instances get +1 and Symbiosis stacks increases to 20.

One of the Best AAs in this game, further echances her Exalt and her DMG gets increased by 2.5x.

• Incredibly Strong Priority if you can whale for this.

---

BUILDS:

SUPPORT:

Covenants:

Lifedrain (Best in Slot) - A Keyflare set for a Keyflare unit, who would have thought.

Twisted Twins Black - Generates a Strike for Clementine so you 90% of the time guarantee playing Strike first.

This is more suited for units like Kath and Mouchette who care about Strength in teams where you have enough Keyflare.

Main stats:

1st - Keyflare

2nd - Realm Mastery

3rd - Death Resistance

4th - Keyflare

5th - Keyflare

6th - Death Resistance

Sub stats:

Try to get as much as Keyflare possible.

Death Resistance is an okay stat, Realm Mastery and DMG Amplification are bottom stat but passable.

---

WHEELS:

Veiled Anguish (Clementine's Wod and her Best in Slot) : The highest Keyflare stat wheel in game right now, increases base Exalt DMG up to 50%, gives up to 20 Aliemus when you Annihilate and 20 Alimeus to all Awakeners when you enter Ultra round.

Incredibly good wheel for Clementine but not a must.

Generally you're using 2 Keyflare Wheels for Clementine, look at what you have and find whatever suits your team the most but there are some exceptions.

Amidst the Downpour - Refunds 1 Arithmetica when you use a Strike.

The Last Verse - Increases Strength, Aliemus and Healing from cards and posse actives 2x in Ultra turn.

Grace Through Pain - Shield whenever you use a Strike

---

POSSE:

Clementine doesn't need any posse to function properly, use whatever fits the Main carry the most. (Looking at you, Pickman)

---

TEAMS:

Clementine is one of the most flexible supports in the game, she can fit in any team even if they don't care about Strength

Keyflare, Healing, DMG Taken increase and DMG Dealt Increase is universal.

---

MAIN DPS:

Clementine has two DPS play styles:

• Exalt DPS
• Scale up with Strength and deal damage through command cards

After the addition of Saya, Clementine DPS became a real thing. (Spooky team, thanks Kaly)

The Team gets a massive boost from Clementine's AA but it's okay if she's E3 just know that Saya will do most of the work.

Here are some of my clears I did with my Clementine!

BUILD:

Note: Clementine has High Base DMG through her Enlighments and her Wheels so since DMG Amplification is multiplicative with Base DMG, it's a good stat to look for in relics/covenants/teams etc.

Covenants:

Crimson Pulse: 30% crit rate per posse (stacks)

Since Clementine generates a lot of Keyflare this set is easy to use 2x times for 60% crit rate.

Works on both Play styles.

April Tribute: Generic set that boosts crit rate and crit DMG.

Works on both Play styles.

Twisted Twins Black: Playing Strike first is important for Exalt DPS so this set works on both Play styles.

Ring of Chamber 36: Raises Keyflare cap by 200 and Posses cost 200 more Keyflare, Exalt gets 30% crit rate and crit dmg.

Clementine's high keyflare generation can off set the expensive posse cost.

Works on Exalt Play style.

Main stats:

Note: This all depends on the build you're using but having high Crit Rate is very important and remember that for every Keyflare Clementine has, she gets 0.35 Crit Rate and Crit Dmg.

(The conversion is only shown when you enter a stage so for precision, enter a stage and click on Clementine's profile for her true Crit Rate and Crit Dmg so you know what you're working with.)

1st - Keyflare/Crit Rate/Crit Dmg

2nd - Crit Rate/Crit Dmg

3rd - Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Dmg Amp

4th - Keyflare

5th - Keyflare/ Dmg Amp

6th - Dmg Amp

Sub stats:

Keyflare, Crit Rate, Crit Dmg and Dmg Amp.

All depends on your build.

---

WHEELS:

Exalt Play style:

Veiled Anguish (Clementine's Wod and her Best in Slot): Gives Clementine everything she needs

Celestial Beast: Crit Dmg Main stat, Exalt Base Dmg buff, Crit Rate from playing Strikes and Crit Dmg after playing 3 Strikes.

Kiss of Response (Doresian's Wod): Crit Dmg Main stat, Exalt Base Dmg, Crit rate & Exalt Base Dmg for every kill and more Alimeus from Embryos.

This wheel after 5+ kills is better than Celestial Beast but kills are easily stolen from Saya's corrosion and Arachne's Final Verdict. (These two units are Clementine's best supports by far)

Any Generic SSR Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Keyflare and Dmg Amp wheel can work but they are not as good as ones listed above.

For SR, once again any Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Keyflare and Dmg Amp wheel can work

---

Command Card play style:

Blade of Titan: Crit Rate, Crit Dmg and -1 Arithmetica on cards

Last Verse (Horla's Wod): More Strength, Crit Rate and Crit Dmg

Amber-Tinted Death: Base Dmg and Strength

Twisted Knight Ballad: Crit Rate, Crit Dmg, Base Dmg and Final dmg

Celestial Beast: Crit Dmg, Strike Base dmg, Crit rate

Etc.

For SR, just use hand of oblivion or any other generic dps wheel.

---

POSSE:

Ephemeral Eternity (Erica Posse)(Generally BIS, can change depending on the build): playing strike first is important and a lot of supports in Clementine Dps teams benefit from this

Works both play style

Tiny Wish: More Aliemus

Works on Exalt Play Style

Sacred Mending (Clementine Posse): Strength and more Dmg instances

Works on command card Play style

Orbis Fatum (Arachne Posse): Dmg amp and Arachne card draw is good

---

TEAMS:

Exalt Play Style:

Saya (BIS): Insane Exalt Final Dmg Buffs and huge aoe corrosion that Clementine can easily clear.

Arachne (BIS): Huge Dmg Amp from Exalt and wheels

Horla: Final Dmg Buff, Vulnerability, Weakness and Buffs from her Exalt

Thais: Vulnerability, Weakness, Embryos, Aliemus and card dupe for more Aliemus and Symbiosis stacks

Aigis: Vulnerable, Stun and Final Dmg Buff

---

Command Card Play style:

Arachne (BIS): Huge Dmg Amp, Increases Final Dmg Buff and Strength by a huge amount for cards.

Thais: Vulnerability, Weakness, Embryos, Aliemus and card dupe for more Dmg, Aliemus and Symbiosis stacks

Horla: Final Dmg Buff, Vulnerability, Weakness and Buffs from her Exalt

Aigis: Vulnerable, Stun and Final Dmg Buff

Helot: Big Final Dmg Buff
