S TierNanally Build Guide
Nanally is a strong DPS character capable of dealing large amounts of Anima DMG to her foes with a flurry of attacks. When using her Skill, she not only gains increased CRIT DMG, but can also walk on any surface, which comes in useful both in and out of combat. If you are looking for a strong Main DPS, as well as a way to easily climb the game's numerous buildings, then the S-Tier Nanally is the Esper for you.
Strengths
- High Anima DMG output
- Gains increased CRIT DMG from skill
- Exploration utility with wall walking
- Strong Main DPS potential
Weaknesses
- No innate Esper Cycle recharge
- Relies on team setup for maximum damage
- No self-sustain without specific team comps

Best Main Stat: CRIT DMG or Anima DMG Bonus
- CRIT DMG is naturally Nanally's go-to since she already gains CRIT Rate from the Module bonus, making for a healthier 1:2 ratio.
- Anima DMG Bonus outscales CRIT DMG if your Cartridge and Module substats can make up for the difference.
Module Layout
Required Modules
Bonus: Type II (+6% CRIT Rate)
Total Bonus: +30% CRIT Rate
Substat Priority
- Best Module layout when using Fireflies and the Forest. Activates 4-piece effect and maximizes bonus Module.
- Try to get Modules with the sub stats listed to improve damage consistency.
Best Teams
Nanally leads as Main DPS, going in after allies perform their rotations. Esper Zero serves as Burst Sub-DPS to trigger Blossom. Sakiri buffers with grouping and ATK boosts (Haniel as alternative but lacks Esper Cycles). Adler provides shields for survivability (Jiuyuan alternative for more Blossom but no sustain).
Alternatives
Standard Rotation: Adler Skill → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Esper Zero Skill → Esper Zero Ultimate → Swap to Nanally (Esper Cycle Trigger) → Nanally Skill → Nanally Ultimate → Spam Normal Attacks.
Jiuyuan-Specific Rotation: Jiuyuan Skill → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Esper Zero Skill → Esper Zero Ultimate → Swap to Nanally (Esper Cycle Trigger) → Nanally Skill → Nanally Ultimate → Spam Normal Attacks → Jiuyuan Ultimate.
- Nanally should normally go last in the rotation to reap the benefits of all her supports.
- If a secondary Anima character is present, you can lead with Nanally first to trigger necessary Esper Cycles.

How to Play
1. Nanally should normally go last in the rotation to reap the benefits of all her supports. 2. Use Skill first to trigger Ichi-Daime's Authority for CRIT DMG bonus, then immediately use Ultimate to deal heavy Anima DMG and enable Underboss to pull enemies. 3. Fight normally until Ichi-Daime's Authority and Skill run out, then repeat team rotation.
Rotations
- 1 Standard Rotation: Adler Skill → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Esper Zero Skill → Esper Zero Ultimate → Swap to Nanally (Esper Cycle Trigger) → Nanally Skill → Nanally Ultimate → Spam Normal Attacks.
- 2 Jiuyuan-Specific Rotation: Jiuyuan Skill → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Esper Zero Skill → Esper Zero Ultimate → Swap to Nanally (Esper Cycle Trigger) → Nanally Skill → Nanally Ultimate → Spam Normal Attacks → Jiuyuan Ultimate.
Tips
- Use Nanally last in a team to ensure she enters at the team's highest point of power.
- Team up with Cosmos characters like Zero to trigger more Blossom instances through Nanally's passive.
- Skill has exploration use: can run up buildings when out of combat, but duration is limited.
