Best Nanally Build in Neverness to Everness: Weapons & Teams

Nanally has quickly established herself as the premier Anima-element DPS in Version 1.0 of Neverness to Everness, combining unmatched urban traversal with devastating follow-up attack damage. As the definitive damage benchmark for the game’s launch period, mastering her kit is essential for clearing high-level Esper Cycle challenges.

Overview

Nanally is an S-Rank Anima-element Main DPS who utilizes Plasma-type weapons, known in-game as Arcs. As a core member of the Eibon Antique Shop affiliation, her gameplay style is aggressive, fast-paced, and heavily reliant on her ability to summon external assistance during combat. She is currently considered the gold standard for damage dealers in Patch 1.0 due to her high Utility-to-Damage (UTD) ratio, which allows her to maintain high DPS while providing unique environmental advantages.

Core Mechanics: Ichi-daime’s Authority

The central pillar of Nanally’s kit is the “Ichi-daime’s Authority” state. This state is triggered by her Skill and provides a massive 30% Crit DMG buff. Beyond raw statistics, this state grants Nanally her signature wall-walking traversal. For 12 seconds after activation, Nanally can ignore verticality, allowing her to reposition during urban combat or reach snipers on rooftops without interrupting her flow.

In combat, her effectiveness is tied to her follow-up attack specialization. Through her Ultimate, she summons her “Underboss,” a spectral entity that performs coordinated attacks alongside her. This creates a high-frequency damage window where Nanally’s personal attacks and the Underboss’s strikes overlap, shredding enemy shields and HP bars simultaneously.

Skill Priority: Basic Attack > Ultimate > Passive > Skill

Upgrading Nanally requires focusing on her Basic Attack first. Because her “Underboss” window relies on her performing “Heavy Hitter!” combos (Hold Basic Attack), the scaling on her normal strings provides the highest overall damage increase. The Ultimate is the second priority as it dictates the base damage of her coordinated attacks. Her Passive should be leveled third to improve the efficiency of her Anima-element reactions, specifically the Blossom reaction.

Best Weapons

Nanally requires Arcs that provide high offensive stats, specifically Crit Rate and ATK%, to capitalize on her built-in Crit DMG buffs. Because her kit features frequent hits through follow-up attacks, weapons that trigger effects on-hit or provide permanent buffs are highly valued.

Signature Weapon: Ready-Ready

Ready-Ready is Nanally’s signature S-Rank Arc and is indisputably her Best-in-Slot (BiS) option. It provides a significant boost to Crit Rate, which is vital for stabilizing her damage output during the Ichi-daime’s Authority state.

The unique mechanic of this weapon is the “Commander Tiger Talisman.” This effect provides a permanent 15% ATK buff to the wielder. Additionally, it increases damage dealt against Boss-class enemies by 10%. This makes Nanally exceptionally potent in endgame boss rushes where high-HP targets are the primary obstacle.

Best F2P and 4-Star Alternatives

For players who do not pull for her signature weapon, there are several viable alternatives:

Fluff of Fortitude (S-Rank): Available through the Battle Pass, this Arc offers a raw 22% DMG multiplier. This bonus scales up to 28% when attacking enemies with low HP, making it an excellent “finisher” weapon for Nanally.
Oraora! (A-Rank): This is the premier F2P choice. It rewards players for staying on-field by stacking Basic Attack DMG bonuses every time a hit lands. Since Nanally’s Underboss window encourages spamming the “Heavy Hitter!” combo, she can reach maximum stacks almost instantly.
Song of the Whale (S-Rank): A generalist S-Rank Arc that provides high base ATK. While it lacks the specific follow-up synergy of Ready-Ready, its sheer stat density makes it a top-three contender.
Raging Flames (A-Rank): A solid early-game option that provides a flat ATK boost after using a Skill.

Weapon Name	Rarity	Primary Stat	Key Effect
Ready-Ready	S	Crit Rate	15% ATK & +10% Boss DMG (Talisman)
Fluff of Fortitude	S	ATK%	22%-28% DMG Multiplier
Song of the Whale	S	Crit DMG	High Base ATK scaling
Oraora!	A	Basic ATK%	Stacking Basic Attack DMG bonuses
Raging Flames	A	ATK%	Post-Skill ATK buff

Best Disks (Artifacts)

In Neverness to Everness, character builds are defined by Cartridges (set bonuses) and Modules (individual stat blocks) within the Console system. Nanally benefits most from sets that enhance her Anima DMG and her critical hit consistency.

Top Cartridge Sets

The “Fireflies and the Forest” Cartridge set is the undisputed best choice for Nanally. It is specifically designed for Anima-element multi-hitters.

2-Piece Bonus: Increases Anima DMG by 10%.
4-Piece Bonus: When the character deals Anima DMG, they gain a stack of “Luminescent Grace.” Each stack provides 7% Crit DMG, stacking up to 8 times (56% total Crit DMG).

Given Nanally’s high hit rate during her Underboss window, she can reach the maximum 56% Crit DMG bonus in less than three seconds of combat.

Secondary options include “Shadow Creed,” which provides a 25% ATK boost for 10 seconds after a Skill is used, or “Lost Radiance,” which grants 25% Defense Ignore. While these are strong, they generally fall behind “Fireflies and the Forest” in total damage output.

Module Layout and Console Passive Optimization

Nanally’s Console features a unique optimization mechanic. She gains a hidden passive bonus of 6% Crit Rate for every Type II Module equipped in her grid. To maximize her efficiency, players should prioritize filling the 8 available grid slots with Type II Modules. This provides a “free” 48% Crit Rate, allowing players to focus almost entirely on Crit DMG substats for her Cartridges.

Substat Priority List:

Crit DMG: Since her Console provides high Crit Rate, Crit DMG is the most valuable scaling factor.
Crit Rate: Only until reaching the 80-90% threshold (including Console bonuses).
DMG%: General Anima or Basic Attack DMG increases.
ATK%: Standard scaling for all her abilities.
Cycle Intensity: Helps build the Esper Cycle meter faster for more frequent Ultimates.

Team Comp

Nanally’s combat potential is maximized when she is placed in a team that can trigger the Blossom reaction. This reaction occurs when Anima and Cosmos elements interact, triggering “Vita Pistil” follow-up attacks that deal AoE damage based on the Main DPS’s ATK.

The Blossom Meta: Nanally + Jiuyuan

The most powerful duo in Version 1.0 is Nanally paired with Jiuyuan. Jiuyuan is a Cosmos-element Sub-DPS who provides Anima resonance. Her off-field abilities apply Cosmos status constantly, ensuring that every time Nanally hits an enemy, a Blossom reaction occurs. This creates a loop of constant follow-up attacks that can clear entire waves of enemies without Nanally needing to switch targets.

Esper Zero is the third essential member of this premium team. She acts as a Battery and Support. Her unique ability to instantly fill the Esper Cycle meter through successful parries allows Nanally to use her Ultimate much more frequently than in other team compositions.

F2P-Friendly Team Variations

For players without a full S-Rank roster, Nanally remains highly effective when paired with accessible supports:

Premium Blossom Team: Nanally (Main DPS), Jiuyuan (Sub-DPS), Esper Zero (Battery), Sakiri (CC/Support).
F2P Blossom Team: Nanally (Main DPS), Esper Zero (Battery), Haniel (ATK Buffer), Adler (Cosmos Enabler).

Team Slot	Premium Choice	F2P Choice	Role
Main DPS	Nanally	Nanally	Primary damage dealer
Sub-DPS	Jiuyuan	Adler	Reaction enabler (Cosmos)
Support 1	Esper Zero	Esper Zero	Energy/Cycle Battery
Support 2	Sakiri	Haniel	Crowd control or ATK buffs

Rotation

To achieve maximum damage output, Nanally requires a specific setup to ensure all her buffs are active before her Underboss window begins.

Burst Window Execution

Switch-in: Start the encounter with your supports. Use Esper Zero to parry or use skills to build the Esper Cycle meter to at least 80%.
Skill: Switch to Nanally and immediately cast “Colucci Howling Technique.” This enters the Ichi-daime’s Authority state, granting the 30% Crit DMG buff and enabling wall-walking if needed.
Ultimate: Activate “Colucci Ultimate Technique” to summon the Underboss. This starts a 6-second window where your damage is at its peak.
Basic Attack Spam: Perform the “Heavy Hitter!” combo (Hold Basic Attack). This specific combo has the highest frequency of hits, which triggers the Underboss’s coordinated attacks and the Blossom reaction Vita Pistils most efficiently.
Dodge Counter: If an enemy attacks, use a dodge to trigger “Critical Riposte.” In NTE, Nanally’s riposte does not reset her basic attack string, allowing her to continue her combo immediately after the dodge.

Managing the Esper Cycle

The Esper Cycle is the shared ultimate meter for the team. Because Nanally’s damage is so heavily weighted toward her Ultimate window, you must ensure you aren’t wasting the meter on support Ultimates unless absolutely necessary for survival. Always prioritize Nanally’s Ultimate once the Blossom reaction (Anima + Cosmos) is primed on the target.

FAQ

How do I walk on walls with Nanally? Wall-walking is not a permanent passive; it is tied to her Skill. You must activate “Colucci Howling Technique” to enable the 12-second traversal buff. While active, simply run toward a vertical surface to begin climbing/walking.

What is Nanally’s best Awakening? Nanally’s A1 (Awakening Level 1) is her most significant power spike. It grants Ultimate Energy regeneration every time a follow-up attack (from her Underboss or Blossom reaction) hits an enemy. This significantly reduces her downtime between burst windows.

Can Nanally play as a Sub-DPS? Yes. Her “Fair Duel” passive allows her follow-up attacks to trigger even when she is off-field, provided the active character is triggering Esper Cycles. However, her personal damage is so high that she is almost always better utilized as the Main DPS.

Where do I get the ‘Ready-Ready’ Arc? The Ready-Ready Arc is a limited-time weapon available via the Arc Research Program during Version 1.0 Phase 1. If you miss this window, you will have to wait for a rerun or use the “Fluff of Fortitude” from the Battle Pass.

Awakening Priority List:

A1: Energy regeneration on follow-up.
A3: Increases Crit DMG buff of Ichi-daime’s Authority to 50%.
A5: Underboss attacks now ignore 15% of enemy Defense.
A4: Increases Anima DMG after a successful Critical Riposte.
A6: Resets Skill cooldown upon killing an enemy.
A2: Flat ATK increase.
