Homing Laser copies disappearing after Chaos mode? (Chaos Zero Nightmare) [3]

Hi everyone! 👋
Quick question about *Chaos Zero Nightmare*:
During Chaos mode, I had 1 base Homing Laser card and successfully copied it twice (the game confirmed both copies mid-run). But after finishing and checking my save data, only 1 card appears instead of the expected 3.
📸 Screenshot attached showing the save data (dated 25.12.28).
Has anyone else run into this? Or am I missing something obvious? Would really appreciate your insights!

Thank you both for the incredibly helpful explanations and resources! I now understand the faint memory limit mechanics better—I’ll check the in-game help section (tab 3) and read through the blog and Reddit guide links you shared. Really appreciate it
Hi,
presumably because your faint memory was over-limited. My advice is to learn about "save data" and "faint memory"!
I will provide some links for more detail and visualization here:

Indeed, you missed a very important piece of information: the maximum "faint memory" value your save data can have, depending on the difficulty level of the run where you created it. Every modification to your deck has a "cost" in faint memory.
Here, I see you have a deck with a value of 120. So, I imagine you removed three base cards from the shop (20 + 30 + 50) plus a Divine Epiphany proc (+20). I imagine you were in tier 10/11? or something close to it, so the maximum capacity is 120/130. Therefore, a copy of Homing Laser with Divine Epiphany would have cost you +20, a second copy +30, for a total of 170. This exceeded the maximum allowed in your difficulty tier, and so the game removed these modifications at the end.
I suggest you go to the game's help section, tab 3, and read everything about how it all works, because it would take far too long to explain it in detail here.
