Nanally Overview
Nanally is the premier Anima DPS in Neverness to Everness, dominating the meta with her follow-up attack playstyle. As a limited S-Rank character from the launch banner, she brings unmatched sustained damage through her Ichi-daime’s Authority mechanic and the Underboss summon.
Her strength lies in the sheer volume of hits she produces — each follow-up attack triggers Console effects, reaction damage, and team synergies, making her damage scale exponentially with proper team support.
Best Arcs for Nanally
Ready-Ready M1 (Best in Slot)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | CRIT Rate 24% |
| Passive | ATK +15%, Basic Attack & Critical Riposte DMG +15% on Redirect/Ultimate |
| Special | Commander Tiger Talisman — Boss DMG +10% for 10s |
Ready-Ready provides everything Nanally wants: CRIT Rate to reach cap, ATK scaling, and a powerful Boss damage bonus that activates naturally through her rotation.
Fluff of Fortitude M1 (Alternative)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | ATK 27.5% |
| Passive | DMG +22%, increased to 28% against enemies below 50% HP |
A strong universal option that excels in longer fights where enemies spend significant time below half health. Slightly less effective against full-health targets compared to Ready-Ready.
Oraora! M5 (F2P Option)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | ATK 37.5% |
| Passive | Basic Attack DMG +2% per hit, up to 10 stacks (10s each) |
Available from the standard banner, Oraora! provides competitive damage for F2P players. The stacking mechanic aligns perfectly with Nanally’s rapid-hit playstyle, quickly reaching maximum stacks.
Console Setup
Fireflies and the Forest (Recommended)
- 2-piece (Epic): Anima DMG +10%
- 4-piece (Legendary): CRIT DMG +8% per stack when nearby enemies take Anima DMG from the team, up to 7 stacks (10s duration, persists off-field)
This set was practically designed for Nanally. Her constant follow-up attacks maintain maximum stacks effortlessly, providing up to 56% bonus CRIT DMG at full stacks.
Module Stat Priority
| Slot | Main Stat | Substats |
|---|---|---|
| Type I | ATK% | CRIT DMG > ATK flat > CRIT Rate |
| Type II | CRIT DMG | ATK% > CRIT Rate > Anima DMG% |
| Type III | Anima DMG% | CRIT DMG > ATK% > CRIT Rate |
Remember: Nanally’s Console bonus grants 6% CRIT Rate per Type II Module equipped. Factor this into your CRIT Rate calculations to avoid overcapping.
Team Compositions
Premium Team: Nanally + Zero + Sakiri + Jiuyuan
The strongest Nanally team leverages Hex (Incantation + Anima) through Sakiri, Zero’s Esper Meter filling, and Jiuyuan’s healing and crowd control. Zero feeds Blossom constantly, while Sakiri’s Hex adds 20% to both Anima and Incantation damage.
Standard Team: Nanally + Zero + Hathor + Jiuyuan
Replaces Sakiri with Hathor for Remora and Charged reactions. Slightly less raw damage but more energy generation and Lakshana coverage for breaking specific enemy shields.
F2P Team: Nanally + Mint + Hathor + Haniel
Accessible team requiring no additional S-Rank characters. Mint covers field time during Nanally’s downtime, while Hathor and Haniel provide reactions and buffs through Stain.
Awakening Priority
| Order | Awakening | Effect | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | A6 | Authority duration +3s (combat), +7s (out of combat) | Core QoL and DPS increase |
| 2nd | A3 | Follow-up on Authority hits (1s ICD) | Major damage addition |
| 3rd | A5 | Team follow-up on Esper Cycle DMG (2s ICD) | Synergizes with A3 |
| 4th | A1 | Ultimate energy from follow-ups (1s ICD) | Faster Ultimate cycling |
| 5th | A2 | Underboss duration +3s | More follow-up windows |
| 6th | A4 | Underboss damage doubled | Final damage multiplier |
Advanced Rotation Guide
Standard Rotation
- Skill → Activate Ichi-daime’s Authority
- Basic x3 → Build energy, generate follow-ups
- Ultimate → Summon Underboss (Authority must be active)
- Basic x4-5 → Maximize follow-up hits during Underboss
- Switch → Trigger reactions with teammates
- Switch back → Reactivate Skill when Authority expires
Burst Window (with Zero)
- Zero fills Esper Meter
- Switch to Nanally (triggers Blossom)
- Skill → Ultimate → Basic spam
- Esper Cycle when meter is full
- Continue Basic Attacks through Underboss duration
Tips for Maximum DPS
- Never use Ultimate without Authority active
- Track Authority timer — reactivate Skill with 2-3 seconds remaining
- Perfect Dodge during Basic strings doesn’t interrupt combo count
- Underboss attacks count as follow-up damage for all Awakening effects
- In co-op, communicate burst windows for team buff alignment
