Epiphany cards are special evolutions for the cards you can obtain while playing the roguelike mode. Only some cards in the character's deck can get Epiphany effects. Since there's quite a lot of them, we don't display them by default — press the button below to show them.

Change the Damage Amount increase of Shard Erosion from 6% to 10%, and when Shard Erosion reaches 5 stacks, +50% to Olga's Critical Damage.
Buffs DoT Team's DPS quite significantly, with Shattering.
Able to Activate Fracture, Agony, and Scorched many times in one turn.
Able to buff a lot via Neutral and Divine epiphanies (Morale & -Fortitude, respectively).
Much of Olga’s supportive utility is locked behind Premium upgrades, mainly her E2’s healing and Partner’s ally DoT Buff.
Olga can be quite expensive (both Draw and AP).
Olga’s play-style revolves around inflicting Fracture and Agony on their enemies and increasing DoT damage via Shattering. Fracture and Agony both deal their damage at the end of the turn by default, Olga is able to bypass this and activate Fracture and Agony instantly through their Rift of Severance and Dispersed Desire cards. Olga is able to also Move these cards back to their hand when Fracture or Agony are activated while she has a stack of Brand of Agony/Fracture, allowing her to continue her assault.
Shattering essentially acts as a true multiplier to all DoT damage, as it can be played every 2-turns and applies a 2-turn Effect which deals a substantial percentage of extra damage based on the DoT damage done as fixed, non-crittable damage. Making Olga a premiere support for any DoT damage based teams.
Rapacity
Rapacity is a buff that Olga gains each time Fracture or Agony is applied through an ability, stacking up to 30. Rapacity is consumed when Olga activates her Mythical Card, Reckoning - increasing the base damage by +20% for each stack of Rapacity held, resetting once Reckoning has been used.
Brand of Agony
Brand of Agony is a buff that Olga obtains from the base version of Break Apart & Renew and some of the available epiphanies. When Olga’s Agony is activated, Olga moves 1 copy of Rift of Severance to their hand, reduces its cost by 1 and removes 1 stack of Brand of Agony. This provides Olga an incredible source of self sufficient AP management and access to Rift of Severance to continue scaling Agony/Fracture.
Brand of Fracture
Brand of Fracture is a buff that Olga obtains from their Break Apart & Renew card once it has been transformed via some of the available epiphanies. Brand of Fracture activates when Olga’s Fracture is activated, moving Olga’s Dispersed Desire to their hand, reducing its cost by 1 until used and removing 1 stack of Brand of Fracture. Very similar to Brand of Agony, provides Olga self sufficient AP management and deck cycling for their Dispersed Desire card.
Shattering
Shattering is a debuff Olga applies via their End of the Line card. When a target inflicted with Shattering has a DoT effect activated, Shattering inflicts additional Fixed Damage to the target equal to 30% of the Damage Amount taken. At the end of the turn, Shattering reduces its stack amount by 1. Should be applied to enemies as soon as possible to maximize damage output.
Decks not named in this section are generally not recommended to be bought. This does not mean they have no use ever or are not viable, but that our opinion is there are better uses for currency because they are too niche or easy to make with minimal save data editing tools.
[Break Apart & Renew] - While Deck itself could use some further optimization, it does have an extremely rare divine already on it (Weakness Attack: -2 Fortitude). If you don't have the time to farm a rare Divine, it's worth considering getting this deck and then editing it to the intended build later (like the Olga: Buffer & Debuffer recommended Deck).

Deck utilizes the built-in move and cost-reduction effect of Brand of Agony and Brand of Fracture in order to effectively utilize Neutral and Divine Epiphanies that buff, notably +1 Morale for 1-turn and -2 Fortitude to Enemy for 1-turn. This enables Olga to Buff 6 Morale and Reduce Fortitude by -12 every turn, in teams that are flexible enough to use her as a buffer.

Card Specific Notes:
It's recommended to do 2 Claim / 1 Inquiry for this build (to keep Sample in order to off-set bad Draw), with 3 Claim on the Main DoT DPS (like Arabella).
Variation of Normal Buffer Deck that adds in Olga's Mythic card as it is a substantial increase to DoT team's DPS.

Fractured But Whole (Olga Variant)
Farming zone: Season 4 (Swamp/Any)
Olga is able to buff a large amount and also play skills while doing so via Neutral Epiphanies and Divines (See Decks & Teams), with the most major drawback of her buffing being Draw and AP needs. Because Hugo teams often have High Draw and Low AP Costs, he is a premiere teammate for Olga.
Similar to Hugo, Hilde is able to Draw a lot with relatively low AP costs (though, not zero) which covers Olga's major weakness as a buffer and benefits from her major strengths.
Arabella is capable of applying Fracture Amplification which can help increase the minimum Fracture damage of Olga, as it applies extra Fracture when Olga activates it herself, and Olga is able to increase all Fracture damage via Shattering.
When used in a Buffing role, Veronica is a standout synergy as she can cover Olga's weaknesses in AP and Draw areas which allows Olga to buff more easily uninhibited.

The choice between Tentacles of Chaos and Criticism of Discord depends on if you are using Olga as more of a supportive or DPS unit. We recommend using her alongside other DPS units, like Hugo or Hilde, so Tentacles is a higher recommendation. But, Olga also works as a Carry as well.

Introduces Desire Cards. Desire Cards are cards that primarily exist to give a strong passive buff from meeting certain Desire Thresholds (3/5/7) which can only be done by having multiple ally decks also made in Season-4.
For Desire Threshold, it’s common to run 1 Claim / 1 Survival / 1 Inquiry for use in a variety of builds; however, it's also common to just do 3 ‘X’ to meet effect easier or do 2 'X' / 1 Inquiry (to keep Sample Collection as Card Effect). This is extremely dependent on ally desire cards and individual team building goal.
For DPS Olga, it's recommended to do 5 Claim to increase her DoT damage. Though, this often raises AP requirements a lot.
’X’ refers to a ‘Placeholder for Specific Desire Threshold Goal’, i.e. if you are building your team for 7 Claim then you might do 2 Claim / 1 Inquiry.
Introduces Persona Cards and Engravings. Persona Cards are powerful cards that introduce new playstyles or ways of buffing/debuffing. Engravings are effects that can be applied to both the Persona Cards and Equipment, functioning near identically to Refinements of Season-2 but with new effects.
There is no recommended Card Engraving, often times it will be specific to the team or skipped entirely (focusing just on Equipment Engravings).
The most common SUPPORT Equipment Engraving to optimize for is the stacking [When Action Count of enemies is increased by allies, +50% Damage Amount to Ally Attack Cards for 1 turn (1 time per turn)] and [When a card of this unit is activated, 30% to increase Action Count of all enemies by 1 (1 time per turn)], but it's possible to use a variety of other options for a specific set-up (like Discard [Quietus] Engravings when playing high [Quietus] builds or Umbra Engravings just to meet the threshold for certain Persona cards).
The most common DAMAGE Equipment Engraving to optimize for is [When 15 or more cards are in Graveyard, +15% Critical Damage to Attack Cards of this unit], but this effect does not stack, so other equipment Engravings that increase damage can also be used.
Introduces Refinements, effects on Equipment that allow one to get additional Equipment effects for no Faint-Cost (post-S2), and God’s Hammer, a powerful effect that gives a random copy of any other Equipment effect on-top of current Equipment but costs 10 Faint Memory and is only gained from the Boss.
Increase Damage Amount of Attack Cards by 20%.
+30% Damage Amount of 1-cost or lower Attack Cards.
+15% Critical Hit on Vulnerable, only works on Attack Cards, which makes it not synergistic with Olga's main damage of Fracture.
Because God’s Hammer is completely RNG at the end of the run, we do not have a specific recommendation since the player has very little control over the decision but for ATK-based Attackers usually ATK% gear is considered best and DEF-based Attackers DEF% gear is considered best.
Introduces Forbidden Cards, powerful cards that create new synergies and can only be acquired once per run (can be duped at one event or via save data editing).
For Supportive Olga, it's recommended to do Season-1 for Guidance of Futility in order to allow her to be a fully fledged healer at E0, as many teams she is used as a buffer in lack a Healer w/o her E2. For DPS Olga, other seasons are preferred.
Forbidden: Gesture of Freedom. Permanent Cost-Reduction to 1-card, can be manipulated.
Forbidden: Eternal Hunger. +Draw, ++AP (Ally Reliant)
Forbidden: Portrait of Fury. ++Draw, +Damage
Forbidden: Guidance of Futility. +++Survivability
Forbidden: Ecstasy of Violence. +Damage

Most cards use very common divines: AP, Cost-Reduction, Draw, etc. if no special Divines are mentioned, assume standard options like: AP, Cost-Reduction, Draw, Vulnerable 2, etc.
[Target Neutral Epiphany: 1 Morale, 1 Vulnerable]
Olga has nerfed Neutral Epiphanies (weaker than typical rules). Normally, 1-cost neutrals get 2 Morale but she only gets 1.
The Vulnerable and Morale neutrals present viable alternative paths for Olga to take. The Morale neutral notable allowing her to act in a more buffing role, since she is able to move her Rift to hand several times a turn to increase her buffing output. Vulnerable acting as a proxy for a Divine but saving Faint.
[General Role]
Dispersed Desire plays essentially the same as Rift of Severance, only it applies and activates Agony instead of Fracture. It notably also has an epiphany Dispersed Desire IV that can also activate Scorched.

Break Apart & Renew applies Olga’s signature effects of Brand of Agony and Brand of Fracture. Break Apart & Renew is the core card in Olga’s strategy to cycle her Rift of Severance and Dispersed Desire cards to her hand, as this is a feature of both Brands.

[General Role]
Insatiable Cravings is an Upgrade card that applies additional stacks of Agony and Fracture to the enemy whenever Fracture OR Agony is activated via a targeting card (Not AoE). Most epiphanies offered will work in most Olga builds as they’re all functionally extremely similar.

This card uses some rare Divines that are recommended as the goal: Start of Turn Draw 2.

[General Role]
Rift of Severance deals some upfront damage and inflicts Fracture to a single enemy. Additionally it will also activate Fracture that has been inflicted by Olga. This card is crucial to Olga's play-style, as it is Moved back to hand for repeated plays via Olga's Brand effects and other Epiphanies.
[Special Divines]
This card uses some rare Divines that are recommended as the goal:
When Using Her in a Supportive Role: Weakness Attack: Decrease Fortitude by -2
