Nine Strengths & Weaknesses

Hew Upgrades Each Time It's Exhausted

Hew is one of Nine's key cards. It upgrades each time it's exhausted, and its damage increases with each upgrade.

Resets When Fully Upgraded

When Hew is fully upgraded, it returns to its initial state. The basic strategy is to use Hew repeatedly to cycle through its upgraded stages.

Use Nine's Other Cards to Exhaust

Nine can use cards like Fatal Strike and Fighting Spirit to exhaust other cards. This allows her to upgrade Hew without paying its cost, enabling high damage output efficiently when used in combination.

Low Durability

Although Nine is a Vanguard, she has few skills that grant Shield, making her unsuitable for a primary tank role. Use Nine as an attacker and pair her with characters who can provide defensive support.

Difficult to Use

Nine's effectiveness heavily relies on efficiently upgrading her skill, Hew. This requires careful resource management during combat, including managing Costs and Card Exhaust.

How To Use Nine?

Aim to Upgrade Hew

Hew levels up and becomes more powerful each time it is Exhausted. This can be done by playing Hew itself or by using other cards with Exhaust effects.

Exhaust Hew with Fatal Strike or Fighting Spirit

Cards like Fatal Strike and Fighting Spirit can Exhaust other Attack Cards. Using them on Hew allows you to upgrade it without paying its AP cost, making this an efficient strategy.

Pair with Characters That Can Manage Cost

Hew has a base Cost of 3, making it difficult to play alongside other cards. Pairing it with characters like Mika, who can generate AP, or Narja, who can reduce card costs, will allow you to play it more consistently.

Best Team for Nine

Defense-Based Team

Nine

Khalipe

Narja

Similar to Nine, this is a team composition that uses Khalipe and fights with defense-dependent damage. In addition to utilizing Narja's defense-dependent damage buff, gaining a Shield also makes it easier to activate Nine's Counter Blade.

Low-Spender Team Comp

Nine

Amir

Rei

This team features Amir, a damage-focused Vanguard similar to Nine. Rei serves as a buffer, and with her 2-Manifest Ego, she can also provide defensive support.

Best Partner for Nine

Wilhelmina	[★4]Obtained from Gacha [Recommended Rating] ★★・ - Increases Defense. - Increases damage based on Defense to Vulnerable enemies. - Gains Morale and Fortitude with Ego Skill.

Nine's optimal Partner is Alcea, who can provide damage buffs and a Shield when Cards are Exhausted.

Memory Fragments	Effect
Tetra's Authority Set	[2-Set] +12% Defense
Beast's Yearning	[4-Set] +30% Damage Amount to Justice, Order (5 times per turn)

The recommended Memory Fragments for Nine are the Tetra's Authority Set and Beast's Yearning. Both will increase Nine's damage and enhance her performance as an Attacker.

Nine Manifest Ego Guide & Priority
