Chaos vs Zero

Chaos vs Zero — cross-Attribute DPS matchup (Lakshana vs Cosmos).

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Chaos if…

  • Your roster needs a Lakshana DPS more than another Cosmos DPS.
  • You prefer Chaos's Sin Cleared + Crime identity over Zero's Odd Zero Division + Execute.
  • Top on-field Lakshana DPS with Crime Charge / Warrant amp that buffs the whole team’s damage to marked targets.

Pick Zero if…

  • Your roster needs a Cosmos DPS more than another Lakshana DPS.
  • You prefer Zero's Odd Zero Division + Execute identity over Chaos's Sin Cleared + Crime.
  • Free Cosmos DPS and the natural early-game Solid Arc carry for most accounts.
Verdict

Chaos (Lakshana) and Zero (Cosmos) are both DPS picks, but they shore up different Attribute gaps. Prefer Chaos when top on-field Lakshana DPS with Crime Charge / Warrant amp that buffs the whole team’s damage to marked targets. Prefer Zero when free Cosmos DPS and the natural early-game Solid Arc carry for most accounts. Check signature Arcs, team shells, and who you already own before committing pulls.
