Skill

Colucci Howling Technique

Hehe, surprise time! Deals 5 instances of Anima DMG to surrounding enemies and wraps herself in Anima Esper Ability, gaining the Ichi-daime's Authority effect. Lasts 12s or until Nanally is switched out. Ends Ichi-daime's Authority early when recast.

Mint tried to learn this move from Nanally, but the moment she saw that Nanally's hair went rough, curved, split, and knotted, she gave up the idea. Adler is not with her in the Bureau of Anomaly Control to take care of her hair, after all.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Both Ichi-Daime's Authority and Underboss stacking together means her damage will be very high once both are active.
Boosts Blossom output just by running her normal rotation, so she's contributing to the whole team.
Straightforward rotation that isn't hard to pick up
Walks on walls in the overworld which is genuinely useful for exploration. + Shop Management buffs (and can bonk customers!)

Cons

Wants a lot of uninterrupted field time and loses a significant chunk of her burst window the moment she gets hit.
Ichi-Daime's Authority doesn't persist when you switch out, so if you're forced off field you're rebuilding from scratch.

Review

Ohoo, so you want to be a member of the Colucci Family? Well, you came to the right place. Meet Nanally, an Anima Attribute character who performs in the Damage role in combat.

To sum it up simply, Nanally is all about Follow-Up Attacks. You can apply follow-up attacks via her passive, Fair Duel, every time a character on the team deals an instance of Esper Cycle DMG to an enemy while in the Ichi-Daime's Authority state, which you get from her skill, Colucci Howling Technique, and which also deals damage. While in this state, you can walk on any surface and climb extremely fast, but more importantly, in battle, it gives you a whopping 30% increase in Crit DMG.

You also summon the Underboss from using her Ultimate, Colucci Ultimate Technique. After you use this damaging Ultimate, Underboss becomes active, and for every hit you land, you will also deal Anima DMG that counts as follow-up attacks. So if you have both the Ichi-Daime's Authority state active and Underboss, she is going to deal a lot of damage with her basic attacks.

Though, she wants uninterrupted field time during this burst, and a lot of it. Her damage comes from chaining those normal attacks together, and if something hits her and breaks that chain, you lose a significant chunk of her burst window. The Ichi-Daime's Authority state also does not persist when switching out.

Her rotation is straightforward: open with her Skill, then use her Ultimate to grab the burst buff. After that, you just spam normal attacks. When her Ultimate is ready again, open with her Skill first. The last hit of the Ultimate launches enemies into the air, then you use normal attacks to fill the Esper Cycle meter and swap to your next intended Esper Cycle reaction, probably Blossom, though Hexed works too, and repeat.

Overall, Nanally is a main DPS with a pretty clear usage style. Both of her states stacking on top of each other is what makes her so dangerous. Ichi-Daime's Authority provides that 30% Crit DMG buff, while Underboss simultaneously converts every normal attack hit into additional Anima follow-up damage, meaning the damage compounds fast once she gets rolling.

Her Passive, More than Passionate, also significantly boosts Blossom output, so she actively contributes to the whole team's reaction damage just by running her normal rotation. And if none of that sold you, her skill,, letting her walk on walls in the overworld is genuinely useful for exploration on top of everything else.

Ready-Ready

Calculations for the M5 version of this Arc.

Team 100%

Ready-Ready

(M1)

This is Nanally’s signature and provides her with a good amount of stats that she wants. It also incentivises you to play her on-field. Don't forget to use the Tiger Talisman when fighting bosses!

Team 95.73%

Fluff of Fortitude

(M1)

One of the Battlepass Arcs. It is a good secondary option for Nanally, providing her with additional damage.

Team 93.13%

Raging Flames

(M1)

This is going to be the best f2p option for Nanally, since it increases her skill and ultimate damage. Cast Ultimate before skill when using this Arc.

Team 92.84%

Oraora!

(M5)

This is a good A-Rank option for Nanally since she wants to be on field a lot of the time. It increases her regular and enhanced basic attack damage.

Team 92.75%

Song of the Whale

(M1)

Can be a bit better than Raging Flames or Oraora! if the boss is broken 2+ times in a fight.

Best Cartridges

Fireflies and the Forest

Provides Nanally with a good amount of crit value and is main damage type. It also pairs well with her Signature Arc, complementing its Crit Rate stat.

Team 96.19%

Shadow Creed

Decent damage boost with the ability to add 6 Type II Modules to lean into Nanally’s Crit Rate Consolre trait. Strong alternative to her main set.

Team 95.77%

Lost Radiance

Gives Nanally a source of 25% defense shred, which boosts her damage decently. When using this set, players need to Ult first and Skill after, which takes away some Crit DMG from her Ult.

Team 95.2%

Devil's Blood: Curse

This set works in theory, but it would result in fewer Type II modules for Nanally than other options, which would reduce her Crit Rate.

Synergies

A strong pick for characters that can trigger an Esper Cycle with them, and a staple in Blossom teams thanks to their instant Cycle from Skill usage.
Provides solid Cycle damage when built with Cycle Intensity.
Their Ultimate can deal respectable damage, and Day Off, the free Arc, helps them use it more often.
Can also be built as a semi-sustain option in Charge team setups or with the Arc “Your Happiness is Priceless”.

Provides 2 Vita Buds whenever a Blossom interaction is triggered, allowing for double the damage from the Esper Cycle.
A strong option for AoE content due to her ability to gather enemies easily with her Skill.

A good dual DPS option when playing Hotori as a Sub DPS, as Nanally requires more field time while Hotori can operate effectively from the sidelines.
Hotori's recording ability can capture Nanally's skills during Present Replay, contributing to a big burst window during her Ultimate.
Triggers the Blossom Cycle Reaction with Hotori, with her More Than Passionate passive further boosting Blossom output for the team.
Hotori's Ghost Orchid Crest passive allows Nanally's Vita Bud attacks to continue even during Time Stop.

Deals damage from off-field and buff’s the on-field character’s attack with her signature Arc, which is great when paired with any main DPS unit.
Buffs the team’s attack after using her Ultimate and Crit DMG when she has all 6 Awakenings active.
A strong choice even when there’s no opportunity to create an Esper Cycle.

Buffs the team’s attack by 30% and shred’s enemy defense by 10% with her Ultimate. (Even stronger with her “Wishful Reliance” awakening active)
Creates the opportunity to trigger the Hex Esper Cycle for Nanally to deal an additional 20% damage for 12s.

Can be used in a dual dps comp with Nanally in a Charge team setup for higher Ultimate uptime.
Extends Remora duration to 12 seconds, allowing for more Charge procs; and provides a crit buff when attacking targets with Remora.
Gaining copies of Nanally and obtaining her awakening “Gang Formation” (A1) will end up making Charge teams less of a necessity for Nanally.

A decent Sub DPS option for a dual DPS team.
An option for triggering Blossom with Nanally.

Provides shielding to the team.
Creates the opportunity to trigger the Hex Esper Cycle for Nanally to deal an additional 20% damage for 12s.

Provides healing to the team.
Can participate in the Blossom reaction.
Can give an attack buff on his Ultimate when using the Speedy Hedgehog set, and provide additional defense to characters standing in his ult with his awakening “Visitor from Planet Curiosity”.

Teams

Blossom Team

This team focuses on generating as many Blossoms as possible through MC's Instant Cycle ability on their Skill and Hotori being able to repeat this during her Time Stop. Nanally has pretty high field time to take advantage of that synergy, as no one else on this team takes much field time. For those missing Hotori, other options like Haniel or Sakiri can provide damage boosts.

Hexed Team

Nanally will be the main damage dealer in this team, but everyone can take advantage of the Hexed reaction here. With 2 characters of each attribute it is possible to maintain Hexed 100% of the time.

Gameplay

The goal is to have buffs and Hexed up when doing Nanally’s on-field damage. If starting with max resources, we would want to start on Jiuyuan and switch into Adler. Then we use Adler’s skill and ultimate then switch off to Sakiri. After Sakiri’s Ult and skill have buffed the team, we can swap to Jiuyuan for her Ult and Skill. Then we go to Nanally and use her skill into ult and enhanced basic attack combo. From this point the burst rotation is over, but we still have the Hexed procs for Nanally into an Incantation teammate and Adler into an Anima teammate as well. One of these can be used freely to gain extra damage while getting ult energy for Nanally and Sakiri, and the other should be saved for the second rotation. By the time the second rotation completes, you should have another Support Skill or 2 available to keep Hexed ongoing!

How to Play

Nanally Hyper

Nanally · Zero (MC) · Jiuyuan · Sakiri

A Blossom-focused team built around Nanally's Underboss follow-up attacks and Crit Damage buff, combining Hexed reactions from Sakiri with Blossom procs from Jiuyuan and Zero.

Rotation

Jiuyuan: Start on Jiuyuan, then switch to MC to proc Blossom.
Zero (MC): Use MC's Redirect Skill and Ultimate, then switch to Sakiri.
Sakiri: Use her Ultimate and Redirect Skill (Devour Whole) to buff the team, then swap to Jiuyuan. This procs Hexed and sets up Nanally.
Jiuyuan: Use her Ultimate (Final Reckoning) and Redirect Skill, then swap to Nanally.
Nanally: Use her Redirect Skill into her Ultimate (Underboss), then perform her enhanced Basic Attack combo.
Burst rotation is now complete. Two Reaction procs remain: one for Nanally into an Incantation teammate, and one for MC into an Anima teammate.
Use Blossom freely to gain extra damage. Spend time building Ultimate energy for Nanally and Sakiri.
Save the other Hexed proc for the second rotation.
Complete the second rotation; by the end, another Support Skill should be available to keep Hexed ongoing.
Repeat from the first step.

Tips & Tricks

Using Nanally's Redirect Skill before her Ultimate is preferred in almost every situation due to the Crit Damage buff it provides. The only exception is if you are using Raging Flames.
Playing Nanally as the main on-field unit, landing Dodge Counters or swapping into her, can help with her Ultimate energy generation.
To maximize Underboss and her enhanced Basic Attacks, perform the full 5-hit Basic Attack string then the 3-hit Charged Attack string. You will exhaust Underboss charges exactly at this point without any Awakenings.
