Chaos Zero Nightmare Divine Epiphany Removal lets you take a Divine Epiphany off a Save Data card without deleting the card itself. Introduced in the 11 November 2026 update, it costs one Core of Annihilation per removal, and it also reduces any Faint Memory that the removed Divine Epiphany had added.
Removing a Divine Epiphany isn’t a reversible toggle. The card remains in your Save Data, along with any Common Epiphany, but the removed Divine effect is gone. If you want it again, you have to use Apply Divine Epiphany rather than pressing Undo.
How Chaos Zero Nightmare Divine Epiphany Removal works
The new option applies to Save Data editing. Choose the Save Data you want to adjust, open its card editing controls and inspect the Divine Epiphany currently attached to the card. The update adds a removal action that consumes a Core of Annihilation.
Removing the Divine Epiphany leaves the card in place and retains its Common Epiphany. It doesn’t wipe the entire card or discard your Save Data. What it removes is the applied Divine Epiphany effect, along with the Faint Memory increase associated with that Divine Epiphany.
Before confirming the removal, check the selected card, the Core of Annihilation cost and the Divine effect you’re giving up. This is particularly important if the card is central to your current damage or draw setup.
What happens to Faint Memory when you remove it?
Faint Memory from the removed Divine Epiphany is reduced accordingly. That’s useful to know if you’re trying to change Save Data to match a different build, but it also means the value shown before and after editing can differ. Don’t assume the previous Faint Memory total remains unchanged.
The card itself remains, and any Common Epiphany stays. A Divine Epiphany that has been removed is gone from that card until you obtain and apply one again through the game’s separate application feature. The 11 November notice does not describe a free, one-click restore.
If your active Build Preset suggests a different Divine Epiphany setup, the Edit screen can flag cards that may need removal. That’s advice, not an automatic respec. You still choose the card and spend the Core yourself.
Where to get a Core of Annihilation
Smilegate’s Season 5 second Supply Store includes a time-limited Core of Annihilation for 3,000 Relics of a Frozen Civilization, with a one-per-account purchase limit on that particular listing. Those Relics come from the Celestial Bulwark Chaos content, so the store is one developer-listed way to obtain the item during this season.
You can also earn a time-limited Core of Annihilation by clearing Last Memory in the Flame That Illuminates Memories event. That event runs from 11 November until the 2 December maintenance and requires Captain Level 35. The Core is tied to clearing the stage, not to simply opening the event banner.
The developer warns that time-limited Save Data editing Cores from this season can only be used during the Season 5 event period. If your inventory item carries that label, check its expiry information before saving it for a much later build. The standard and time-limited versions should not be treated as identical without checking the item description.
When to use Chaos Zero Nightmare Divine Epiphany Removal
First, check the active Build Preset and what the current Divine Epiphany contributes. If you need the effect for a key damage or draw combination, removing it could make the deck less useful even if its Faint Memory falls. If the effect no longer fits your preferred setup, the new removal feature can be a more direct route to rebuilding.
Next, check you have a Core of Annihilation and inspect the card you’re about to edit. Confirm that the Common Epiphany remaining on the card is what you want. Finally, remember that getting a Divine Epiphany back involves Apply Divine Epiphany, rather than reversing the prior action for free.
Chaos Zero Nightmare Divine Epiphany Removal is not Memory Fragment crafting
Don’t confuse this with the new Memorial Quartz system. Memorial Quartz is used to choose Substats when crafting Memory Fragments; a Core of Annihilation is used to remove Divine Epiphany from a Save Data card. They change different parts of a build and have different purchase rules.
With Chaos Zero Nightmare Divine Epiphany Removal, one Core removes one card’s Divine effect. The card and Common Epiphany stay, and the Faint Memory from the removed effect goes down. If you need that Divine again, you’ll have to apply it anew.
