1. Character Overview, Playstyle Mechanics & Skill Leveling Priority

Nanally is an S-Rank Anima Main DPS utilizing a Plasma Arc. Her entire kit revolves around entering an enhanced state and overwhelming the enemy with coordinated strikes.

• Core Mechanic 1:
  Ichi-daime's Authority (Skill) Casting her Skill (Colucci Howling Technique) grants her a 12-second buff that significantly increases her Critical Damage (+30% CRT DMG).
• Core Mechanic 2:
  Underboss (Ultimate) Her Ultimate (Colucci Ultimate Technique) summons her "Underboss" to fight alongside her for 6 seconds (extendable via Awakenings). While active, the Underboss coordinates with all of Nanally's attacks, dealing massive Anima DMG that counts as Follow-up Attack damage.
• Combat Rotation: Trigger her Skill to gain the CRT DMG buff -> immediately cast her Ultimate to summon the Underboss -> continuously attack to trigger her Passives (like Fair Duel and Call Me the Boss), which rain down additional follow-up attacks.

Skill Leveling Priority:
To optimize your resources, upgrade Nanally's skills in this order:

• Colucci Ultimate Technique (Ultimate): Highest priority. Upgrading this directly increases the scaling of all your Underboss's follow-up attacks.
• Colucci Howling Technique (Skill): Increases the initial area damage and secures your CRT DMG buff.
• Basic Attack: Level this last. While she constantly uses Basic Attacks on-field, the vast majority of her actual damage output stems from the Underboss coordinating with those attacks, not the basic multipliers themselves.

2. Awakening (Constellations) Depth Analysis

Nanally is perfectly viable and incredibly strong at base level (A0), meaning F2P players do not need to feel pressured to pull duplicates. However, if you are planning to invest further, here are her most impactful Awakening milestones:

• A0 (Base Form): A complete and powerful kit. Ready to carry your team out of the box.
• A1 (Gang Formation): High Value. Fixes her energy issues. Grants 2.5 Ultimate Energy for each follow-up attack she performs.
• A3 (Call Me the Boss): Massive DPS Spike. Applies an extra follow-up attack (50% ATK) every second while she is in her enhanced state.
• A4 (Not a Troublemaker): Grants a flat 30% DMG increase specifically for her Underboss.
• A6 (Because We're Family): The Whale Goal. Extends her Ichi-daime's Authority buff duration from 12s to 15s (and 20s when out of combat), drastically increasing her overall DPS window.

3. Best Weapons (Arc) for Nanally

Nanally uses Plasma type Arcs. Here is the breakdown of her best-in-slot signature weapon versus the best free-to-play alternative.

• T0 (Best): Ready-Ready (Signature)
  The absolute best choice. Provides a massive ATK% boost (up to 30% at Rank 5). Casting her Ultimate or Redirect Skill grants stacks that buff her Basic Attack and Critical Riposte damage by up to 30%. Managing the Tiger Talismans grants a direct DMG boost against Bosses.
• T1 (F2P): Song of the Whale (Map Boss Drop)
  An incredible free alternative. At max refinement (Rank 5), it performs at roughly 84% the efficiency of her signature weapon. It grants 20% ATK, increases DMG to Broken enemies by 20%, and provides excellent sustain by restoring 30% HP upon defeating a Broken enemy.

4. Best Cartridge (Artifact) Configuration

To maximize Nanally's damage, you need a set that rewards her multi-hit, elemental playstyle.
Best Set: Fireflies and the Forest (Liquid Set)

• 2-Piece Bonus: Anima DMG +10%.
• 4-Piece Bonus: Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 8% when a nearby enemy takes Anima DMG from the Team, stacking up to 7 times (Max +56% CRIT DMG).

Because Nanally's Underboss and passives deal rapid instances of Anima DMG, she maxes out the 7 stacks almost instantly.
Stat Priorities
Because the "Fireflies and the Forest" set and her built-in skills already provide a massive amount of Damage Boost, managing your stats carefully is key to avoiding diminishing returns.

• Main Stat Selection: Prioritize Anima DMG Bonus for your primary cartridge slot. Establishing this elemental baseline is crucial for maximizing her burst potential.
• Sub-Stat Priorities: Once your Main Stat is secured, scaling her base ATK% yields higher overall damage than blindly stacking more DMG increases.
• CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG: The absolute core. Keep a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 70% CRIT Rate / 140% CRIT DMG).
• ATK %: Because her follow-up multipliers are so high, increasing her base ATK gives those multipliers (and her built-in DMG buffs) a much larger number to scale off of.
• DMG Increase: Still a great sub-stat, but lower priority than ATK% to avoid stat dilution.

5. Best Team Compositions

Nanally thrives in teams that can group enemies, shred defenses, and provide off-field buffs to maximize her destruction window.
Current Best Team: The Eibon Syndicate
Lineup: Nanally (Main DPS) + Sakiri (Sub-DPS/Support) + Jiuyuan (Burst/Debuffer) + Zero (Sub-DPS)

• Sakiri: Uses Devour Whole to gather enemies and Feast of Gluttony to pin them down, granting the whole team a massive ATK buff (30% of Sakiri's Base ATK).
• Jiuyuan: Her Lethal Rose Pact reduces enemy Anima RES by 12%, allowing Nanally to hit significantly harder.
• Zero: Drops in for massive Cosmos burst damage that ignores DEF, while granting the team a flat 10% ATK buff whenever a Cosmos Esper Cycle is triggered.

Future Meta Team: Time & Space
Lineup: Nanally (Main DPS) + Hotori (Buffer) + Jiuyuan (Debuffer) + Zero (Sub-DPS)
(Note: Hotori releases in Phase 2 of version 1.0)

• Why it's better: Hotori replaces Sakiri to take the team's ceiling even higher. Hotori's Ultimate (World's Tide) completely stops time, allowing safe setups. She provides a passive 10% team ATK buff, and her All-Seeing passive increases team damage against single targets (Bosses) by an additional 15%. This perfectly complements Nanally's boss-killing potential.

6. Should You Pull Nanally? (Is She Worth It?)

Short Answer: Yes, absolutely. Nanally is currently one of the strongest Main DPS characters in the game, especially for players who enjoy high-speed, multi-hit combat styles. If you want to plan your pulling resources effectively, be sure to check the Neverness to Everness 1.0 Banner schedule to see all upcoming character releases.

• Pros: Her damage ceiling is incredibly high thanks to her fast-hitting follow-up attacks. She is surprisingly F2P-friendly, as her free craftable/map weapon (Song of the Whale) offers roughly 84% of the performance of her premium signature weapon. Furthermore, her unique plunge attacks and mobility make overworld exploration a breeze.
• Cons: She requires good energy management to keep her 100-cost Ultimate active, and her damage can drop off significantly during her downtime (when her Skill buff expires).
• Verdict: If you need a reliable, hard-carrying Anima DPS to anchor your team, Nanally is a must-pull. F2P players should stop at A0 and save for her Signature Weapon. Low spenders aiming for a comfort upgrade should target A1.

7. Ascension & Skill Upgrade Materials

(Add this as a brand new section towards the end of the guide)
To save you time farming, here is the complete checklist of materials required to fully max out Nanally. The first table includes the combined total needed for her Character Breakthroughs (Ascensions) AND maxing out all 4 of her skills.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can Nanally work as a Sub-DPS?
No. Nanally's Ichi-daime's Authority buff disappears the moment she leaves the battlefield. She is a hyper-carry Main DPS who demands field time to deal her damage.

Q2: Does she need a healer?
If you are using her F2P weapon (Song of the Whale), she has built-in self-sustain upon defeating Broken enemies. However, in high-difficulty boss fights (where adds are scarce), running a dedicated shielder or healer is recommended to keep her safe during her combos.

Q3: Is she good for open-world exploration?
Yes! Her Grand Entrance! (Plunge Attack) has a massive damage multiplier based on fall height, and her combat mobility makes traversing the urban environments of NTE very fluid.
