Nungal Pros and Strength

Highest Normal Attack Range

By combining Nungal's Trait, Rank 3 [Sniping Stance], and Rank 11 [ Eagle Eye], she can boast the highest normal attack range from all the characters. Furthermore, these normal attacks will deal a significant amount of damage thanks to Nungal's Trait, as well as skills like Rank 1 [Full Draw], and Rank 7 [Shattering Arrow].

Top Tier Single Target Damage

Under the right conditions, Nunganl can deal top tier magical burst damage via her Rank 3 skill [Deadly Aim]. If you can land the attack from max distance on a target affected by the [Hanged Man's Marl] while under the effects of allied buffs, Nungal can deal thousands of damage in a single attack.

Use Multiple Times With Quick Reload

If you use the Rank 11 skill [Quick Reload], you will no longer need a turn to prepare for [Deadly Aim]. Therefore, by supporting Nungal with cooldown reduction, energy recovery, Act Again, and other abilities, you can use [Deadly Aim] multiple times in one turn.

Counters Enemies With High P.DEF

Similar to Dantalion, Nungal's P.ATK determines her damage output, but the attack itself deals magic damage. Therefore, Nungal can effectively damage Defenders with high physical defense and enemies with Physical Shield.

Team Lineups and Positioning is Crucial

Nungal is extremely powerful with the right investments. However, she is not without her weaknesses. Be sure to bring allies who can support Nungal by applying the Hanged Men's Mark to enemies. Other helpful buffs include Dantalion's Aura, Inanna's Act Again, and even Col's Aura. Also, take note of height differences between Nungal and her targets, as this can sometimes mean the difference between killing an enemy or wasting a turn to reposition Nungal.

Best Builds for Nungal

Deadly Aim Build

Basic Attack												Reaction
Marking Bullet												Sniper's Intuition
Skill
Deadly Aim								Quick Reload								Sense of Purpose
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Irian Combat Bow								Berserk Incense								Destruction of The Tower

This is a build that allows Nungal to deal incredible burst damage with [Deadly Aim]. The effects of Irian Combat Bow and the Tower take effect after a Standby turn with [Deadly Aim] or when you [Act Again] using Inanna's [Princesses Prayer], so keep this in mind. It also works well with characters that can apply [The Hanged Men's Mark].

Basic Attack Build

Basic Attack												Reaction
Fatal Attack												Sniper's Intuition
Skill
Full Draw								Agile Eye								Shattering Arrow
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Star-Raid Crossbow								True Lens								Verdict of Justice

A powerful build that's easy to use. Simply activate both [Agile Eye] and [Full Draw], and then start using [Fatal Attack]. If you have an ally who can reduce enemy defenses, you could also swap out [Full Draw] with [Sniping Stance] to increase Nungal's range. Note that using [Sniping Stance] will impede Nungal's mobility.
