Nanally Build Guide

Nature에이본 골동품 가게View Character

Nanally is a top-tier Anima Main DPS who excels at consistent damage via Basic Attacks and follow-up attacks. Her Skill boosts CRIT DMG and allows wall-running, adding exploration and vertical combat utility. She remains one of the most flexible and dependable Main DPS options thanks to high damage, easy playstyle, and versatile team options.

Strengths

  • High damage output from Basic Attacks and follow-up attacks.
  • Skill increases CRIT DMG and grants wall-running/vertical mobility.
  • Very flexible team options; fits many compositions.
  • Easy to pick up playstyle.
  • Strong synergy with Blossom teams.

Weaknesses

  • No innate Esper Cycle recharge, so must be placed last in rotations.
  • Reliant on entering Ichi-Daime's Authority for max damage.
  • Skill duration limits exploration climbing.

Best Main Stat: Anima DMG Bonus or CRIT DMG

  • Anima DMG Bonus is ideal since Nanally already gets plenty of CRIT DMG from Fireflies and her Skill.
  • CRIT DMG is a viable alternative if modules lack crit substats.
  • For substats, prioritize CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, then DMG and ATK%.
  • Each Type II Module equipped increases CRIT Rate by 6%; keep Console bonus in mind.

  • Layout activates Fireflies and the Forest's 4-piece effect and maximizes bonus module.
  • Prioritize a full damage configuration: aim for high CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate without oversaturating Crit Value.
  • ATK% and Universal DMG% are good secondary picks; flat ATK still contributes.
  • Any damage-boosting substat is useful.

Best Teams

How to Play

Nanally is a Main DPS who should go last in rotations. Use Skill first to enter Ichi-Daime's Authority and boost CRIT DMG, then immediately use Ultimate to summon Underboss and deal heavy Anima DMG. Fight normally until Authority and Skill expire, then repeat full team rotation.

Rotations

  1. 1Standard: 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

Tips

  • Use Nanally last in a team: she lacks innate Esper Cycle recharge, so let supports set up first.
  • Team up with Cosmos characters like Esper Zero to enhance Blossom reactions and add extra damage instances.
  • Skill can be used to run up buildings for exploration, but note the duration.
  • After Skill, immediately use Ultimate for maximum burst.
  • During Ichi-Daime's Authority, spam Basic Attacks to maximize damage.
