Nanally Build Guide: 1.0 Launch Limited T0 Main DPS, Ready-Ready Signature Arc & Synthesis Core

Key answer: Nanally Collins is a 1.0 launch limited T0 Main DPS — element Anima, Arc type Plasma, JP CV Ayana Taketatsu, with a “First Generation big-sister boss” backstory from the Bridgehead streets. Strongly recommended (version ceiling + anti-gravity traversal experience + beginner-friendly). Her signature Arc Ready-Ready offers dual-crit + three stacking bonuses; pair it with the Fireflies & Forest 4-piece + Type II driver block specialization, recommended team “Wave team: Nanally + Sakiri + Jiuyuan + Esper Zero”. 0 Eidolons is already strong; signature Arc > Eidolons.

This guide lays out her mechanics, gear, Eidolons, recommended teams, and build path all in one place.

2. Skill Kit

Basic Attack [Collins Secret Technique]

• 5-hit rapid claw combo, smooth and uninterrupted
• The final hit applies a stun effect
• Enhanced while in the “First Generation authority” state

Shift [Collins Awoo Art]

• 5 instances of AoE Anima damage
• ⭐ Enters the “First Generation authority” state for about 12 seconds (extended to 15 seconds at Eidolon 6)
• This state increases Crit DMG by about 30%, and unlocks anti-gravity wall-running / surface-walking!

Ultimate [Collins Ultimate Art]

• Deals 7 hits of Anima AoE damage to surrounding enemies
• ⭐ Summons the Underboss to join the battle
• The Underboss coordinates with each of Nanally’s attacks, adding “joint-strike” follow-up Anima damage

Assist [Justice From Above / Fair Fighting Judgment]

• A single powerful Anima hit
• The other support effect “More Than One Heart’s Worth of Passion” fires 10 shots in succession

Passive 1 [Absolute Fair Fighting Judgment]

• Every time an ally triggers an elemental reaction, Nanally triggers a 60% ATK follow-up (once every 2 seconds)

Passive 2 [More Than One Heart’s Worth of Passion]

• Raises the Synthesis seed cap from 4 to 6, a notable damage boost in Synthesis-reaction teams

Core Rotation

E (Awoo Art) → Basic Attack ×2-3 → Q (Ultimate, summon Underboss) → Basic Attack burst loop → E to refresh authority

Sustaining Basic Attacks during the authority window yields the highest returns; after Q triggers, the Underboss adds follow-up damage to each Basic Attack hit.

3. Eidolon (Awakening) Priority

NTE’s awakening system has a unique advantage: you can freely switch between already-unlocked awakening effects at any time, with no materials and no cooldown. The 3rd awakening unlocks the first resonance effect, the 6th unlocks the second.

Eidolon	Name	Effect summary	Priority
A1	Gang First Founded	Each joint-strike restores 2.5 Ultimate energy (once per second), greatly speeding up the Q rotation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top pick
A2	Second Generation Follows	Underboss field-time extended by 3 seconds	⭐⭐
A3	Call Me Big Sister	While in authority, each instance of damage adds a 50% ATK Anima follow-up (once per second)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A4	Not a Troublemaker	Underboss damage increased by 30% (every follow-up benefits from this bonus)	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A5	Underlings Everywhere	Each follow-up stacks ATK +2%, up to +20% ATK	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A6	Because We’re Family	First Generation authority duration 12s → 15s (20s out of combat)	⭐⭐⭐

Recommended awakening order: A1 ≧ A3 > A5 ≧ A4 > A6 > A2

0-Eidolon Viable vs Eidolon-Required

• ⭐ 0 Eidolon + signature Arc > 6 Eidolons without the signature Arc (community consensus)
• 0 Eidolons can already clear all beta content — traversal, abyss, and open world are all handled
• Investment order: secure 0 Eidolons first → pull the signature Arc → then chase Eidolons

4. Best Gear

⭐ Arc: Ready-Ready (S-rank limited BiS)

Attribute	Value
Base ATK	37 (R1) / fully leveled at Lv70
Sub-stat	Crit Rate (24% at Lv70 max)
Core passive	After hitting with E/Q, gain the “left/right tiger tally” buff, +15% Basic Attack and lethal-counter damage for 15 seconds; with both buffs active, unlock the “tally pair” bonus of +10% damage vs Bosses for 10 seconds; permanent ATK +15%

Alternatives (ranked by value)

Rank	Arc	Notes
1	Fluff of Fortitude (S-rank)	Sub-stat ATK%, permanent +22% damage (+28% when enemy HP is below 50%); no buff-uptime threshold, the most reliable S-rank alternative
2	Song of the Whale (A-rank, drops from a map Boss)	⭐ Best free alternative, ATK +20% + 20% damage vs Broken enemies, about 84% of the signature’s performance
3	Ola Ola! (A-rank 4-star)	Shop-redeemable, a stopgap for the early game
4	Blazing Flame Soul (free S-rank)	Available from the launch selection box, a pure-offense stopgap

Gear: Fireflies & Forest 4-piece

• Top pick: Fireflies & Forest 4-piece
  • 2-piece: Anima DMG +10%
  • 4-piece: when nearby enemies take Anima damage, stack one layer of Crit DMG per second, up to about +56% (8 layers)
• Transitional combo: Fireflies & Forest 2-piece + Shadow Creed 2-piece (or another offensive 2-piece set)

⭐ Driver Block: Type II specialization

Hot community topic: Nanally is a Type II specialist — each Type II directly grants +6% Crit Rate, so equipping 4 easily breaks past the crit threshold.

Sample layout: II / III / IV / III, which lets you max Crit Rate even before sub-stats are built up.

Stat Priority

Slot	Priority
Main stat	Anima DMG% > Crit DMG% > ATK% > Crit Rate% (if Crit Rate is low early on, you can run Crit Rate as the main stat first)
Sub-stat	Crit Rate% ≧ Crit DMG% > ATK% > DMG%

Goal: Crit Rate 60-80%, Crit DMG 150%+ (a 1:2 ratio).

5. Recommended Teams

Wave Team (mob clearing / elemental-reaction loop) ⭐ Strongest beta setup

Nanally + Sakiri + Jiuyuan + Esper Zero

• Sakiri (Incantation): groups enemies, boosts damage, triggers an overlay reaction with Nanally (extra 20% Anima/Incantation damage)
• Jiuyuan (Anima): backline Sub-DPS output, increases Anima density
• Esper Zero (Cosmos): triggers a Synthesis reaction with Nanally, spawning Synthesis seeds for chain explosions

Boss Team (single-target burst)

Nanally + Hathor + Edgar + Sakiri

• Hathor: speeds up Q charging, shortening the Ultimate rotation
• Edgar: overlay-reaction trigger (an early-game stopgap before Sakiri)
• Sakiri: damage-boost anchor

Strongest Synthesis Team (high Eidolon / high investment)

Nanally + Hotori + Jiuyuan + Esper Zero

• Hotori copies Zero’s skills and maxes out the Synthesis seed cap, doubling the effect of Nanally’s passive

F2P Lineup

Nanally + Esper Zero + Haniel + Mint

• Zero, Haniel, and Mint are all free standard/gifted characters
• No top-tier damage boosts, but it can reliably clear all beta content

Rotation Example

Sakiri E (group) → Esper Zero E (trigger reaction) → Jiuyuan E (trigger Synthesis) → Nanally E + Basic Attack
→ Sakiri Q (damage boost) → Nanally Q + Basic Attack burst → finish with the Underboss joint-strike

6. Build Priority

1. Ascend character level to 80 (a must-max for the Main DPS)
2. Level up abilities (skills): Q Ultimate ★★★★★ → E Awoo Art ★★★★★ → Basic Attack ★★★★ → Assist ★★★
3. Max-level Arc + ascend to R1 (Ready-Ready first → only consider going past 5 ascensions afterward)
4. Gear main set (Fireflies & Forest 4-piece) → sub set (Shadow Creed 2-piece)
5. Driver blocks: build out the Type II specialization first, with dual-crit + ATK% sub-stats
6. Awakening order: A1 → A3 → A5 → A4 (or A6)

7. Pull Advice & Timing

Strongly Recommended

Reason	Explanation
1	1.0 launch T0 limited, a version-ceiling character with no rival right now
2	Strong at 0 Eidolons, anti-gravity traversal experience + fits the entire beta roster
3	High long-term value, the dedicated “Synthesis team” system can keep being strengthened later
4	Easy to play (auto-attack focused), beginner-friendly
5	High future scaling for Synthesis reactions, a core buff target for the version

Eidolon / Signature Arc Priority

0 Eidolon + signature Arc > 1 Eidolon without signature Arc > 6 Eidolons without signature Arc

• Limited budget: single-pull for 0 Eidolons
• Chasing the ceiling: consider also going for A1 / A3

When to Pull

• 1.0 launch (2026/04/29 – 05/13) — this banner has ended / is about to end
• After that you’ll need to wait for the standard banner or a rerun Pickup (timing per official announcements)
• Right now (May 2026), if it’s still in the final stretch of the Pickup, this is the last chance
