Nix

[The Seraph of Tomorrow]

How do you make it useful? Personally I just don't see the time sink to activate the ability worth it compared to most other strategies to win.

Not all strategies are created equally.

Nix is also nicknamed "Tiphxodia." Pulling it off effectively puts you in a winning position as very little can handle a power gap of at least 7. The problem is getting all five pieces. The fifth piece is guaranteed - as there are only 3 tier-three abno pages - but the first four are not.
Ideally, the order is Despair -> Hate -> Greed -> Wrath -> Nix.

You inflict -5 power on all enemies and gain 2 strength (from Wrath). On top of that, you have your own passives giving you more power. Like Fervor is another +1 power. Maybe Lone Fixer for +3?

Yes, you inflict this -5 power on your own allies too - it is an "all in on one person" sort of strategy just like "Eggxodia."
It really does help that you have access to the best mass individual in the game: a 4-cost Mass Individual that rolls 9 to 15 three times.

If you want to pull it off - for the achievement -> I actually recommend the Puppets. Funny enough, you can easily lose against Creak so use the red emotion coins to grab the pieces of Tiphxodia -> then play the 4-cost mass attack and win.
Sure, you'll kill your own allies but you WILL win. lol
Also, due to how emotion gain works and how E.G.O. recharge works, you will most likely be able to play the E.G.O. two turns straight.


Are there better strategies? Yes.
Technically speaking, nothing beats Yesod's floor with Myongest. Request + Repetitive Pattern Recognition + Chained Wrath + Clean + Dark Flame on a Purple Tear with Myongest is by far the easiest and strongest set up you can accomplish in the game. This doesn't nullify all other set ups. This is a game. Have fun with it.

Like, Chesed has his own magic trick set up where you use power of the past to gain +3 or +4 power -> use magic trick to make everything free -> and have a build set up where you never run out of light while decimating enemies.
Malkuth has "Pet the Malkuth" challenge where you let enemies hit you and they die faster than you. Bring some protection and stagger protection and you'll be grand.
Hod's casual power gain is absurdly strong.
Gebura with Mountain of Corpses.
etc
All of these pale to Yesod going brrrrrrrrr, but you might do them anyway for fun.

After playing around for a bit with the base stuff, I got it to work eventually.Now I have moved onto using some modded pages.

So right now my set up is a mix of Amplified Sweepers from the similarly names mod, and the Ranged pages from City of Drama "Regret" which actually makes ranged a viable team to run unlike most the base game ranged stuff.
