S Tier TierNanally Build Guide
Nanally is a strong DPS character capable of dealing large amounts of Anima DMG with a flurry of attacks. When using her Skill, she gains increased CRIT DMG and can walk on any surface, which is useful both in and out of combat. If you are looking for a strong Main DPS and a way to easily climb the game's buildings, Nanally is the Esper for you.
Strengths
- Deals large amounts of Anima DMG as a main DPS
- Skill grants increased CRIT DMG and lets her walk on any surface
- Can run up buildings for exploration
- Strong burst potential with Ultimate and Underboss
Weaknesses
- No innate Esper Cycle recharge, so she should go last in rotations
- Damage depends on maintaining Ichi-Daime's Authority
- Requires team support for survivability and optimal damage

Best Teams
Nanally leads as the Main DPS, entering after all allies have performed their rotations. Zero serves as the Burst Sub-DPS, giving Nanally more opportunities to trigger Blossom. Sakiri buffers with grouping and team ATK buffs, while Adler provides shields for survivability. Haniel can substitute for Sakiri, and Jiuyuan can replace Adler for a more Blossom-oriented but sustainless comp.
Nanally

Main DPS, enters last after supports.
Zero
Sub-DPS
Burst Sub-DPS, triggers Blossom.
Sakiri
Buffer
Buff support with grouping and ATK buffs.
Adler
Sub-DPS/Support
Shielder, provides survivability.
Alternatives
Set up with shields, then buffers, then Zero's burst before swapping to Nanally.
When Nanally enters, use Skill to activate Ichi-Daime's Authority, then Ultimate, then spam normal attacks.
If using Jiuyuan, start with her Skill and end with her Ultimate for max Pact Settlement uptime.
- Haniel cannot contribute to Esper Cycles, so consider Zero's role if using her.
- Jiuyuan version trades sustain for more Blossom triggers.

How to Play
Nanally should normally go last in the rotation to benefit from all supports. Use Skill first to trigger Ichi-Daime's Authority for CRIT DMG, then immediately use Ultimate to summon Underboss and deal heavy Anima DMG. Afterwards, fight with normal attacks until Ichi-Daime's Authority and Skill run out, then repeat the full team rotation. Out of combat, her Skill lets her run up buildings.
