NonoWill Pros and Strength

Strongest Damage Amplifier

At Rank 3, NonoWill can unlock [Enchanting Shadow], an ability that applies Dodge to NonoWill, and Vulnerable III to enemies around her. NonoWill is the only character in the game that can apply this level of this debuff in an AoE, making her invaluable against bosses and durable enemies alike.

Aggression Leader Aura

At Rank 7, NonoWill can unlock her aura that buffs Aggression characters' ATK and DEF by 10% and 20% respectively. Additionally, this aura also increaes Aggression skill damage by 10%. Notable characters from the Aggression tree are Auguste, Rawiyah (Alter), and Tristan, who are three of the hardest hitting characters in the game.

Future proof unit

At the time of writing, Rawiyah (Alter) and Tristran are unreleased on Global servers. However, once these characters are released, NonoWill becomes one of the best supports for these top-tier characters.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for NonoWill

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	3★ → 5★

NonoWill gains gradual attack boosts with each star level, and at 3-stars and 5-stars, her [Veil] skill gets a 1-turn cooldown reduction. However, since [Veil] isn’t needed every turn, these upgrades don’t drastically change her performance. As a result, she’s a lower priority for shard farming.

Best Builds for NonoWill

Enchanting Shadow								Celestial Song								Aggression
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Enchanting Shadow	★★★★★ NonoWill's signature [Instant Skill] that allows her to gain [Dodge] while inflicting [Vulnerable III] (DMG Taken +30%) to an area. This effect is particularly high compared to all characters, so prioritize slotting it.
NRG Recovery	★★★★★ If you are equipping Skills with high NRG consumption like [Thousand Blades], equip this Reaction. However, in difficult stages, taking damage can be fatal even through the DMG reduction, so relying on it for NRG Recovery is risky.
Triple Slash	★★★★★ Deals slightly higher damage and is a Basic Attack that can hit 3 times. Not only is it effective against enemies with [Dodge], but by combining it with [Anesthethic], you can effectively stack [Infection].
Thousand Blades	★★★★ An easy-to-use AoE attack Skill. By combining it with [Anesthethic], it's possible to inflict DoT or Sleep over a wide area. CD is 0, but NRG consumption is high at 3, so you'll want to include characters who can recover NRG.
Anesthethic	★★★★ An excellent passive that can inflict [Infection] or incapacitating [Sleep]. It's even more powerful when used with Skills that hit multiple times or Trinkets with attack Skills. The DoT potential compensates for Nono's damage output.
Aggression	★★★★ A Leader's Aura that greatly enhances the damage dealt by characters of the [Aggression] Faction. Since top-tier attackers like SP Rawiyah, Auguste, and Tristan are from this faction, prioritize slotting it if they are in the same party.

Skill	Priority and Details
Phantom Dance	★★★ After using skills like [Enchanting Shadow] or [Thousand Blades] on a group of enemies, this [Instant] Skill allows for a safe retreat. Since it increases Move, equip it when prioritizing survivability or movement.
Defense (Magical)	★★★ In stages with many enemies that use M.ATK, equipping this Reaction is is viable.
Celestial Song	★★★ An aura that buffs allies and debuffs enemies. If [✘Active Skills] is applied, enemies can only use Basic Attacks, making it very powerful. Equip it in specific stages, such as whenever enemies inflict many Attribute Debuffs.
Infected Dagger	★★ Can inflict [Infection] from a distance. After equipping [Anesthethic], and using the Trinket [Flying Blade Armguard], using this Skill can inflict 5 stacks of [Infection] and cause [Sleep] in 1 turn.
Dispelling Strike	★★ In specific stages where buff removal is important, it's viable to equip.
Maneuver	★ In specific stages where you absolutely want to retreat after attacking, it's viable.
Shapeless Lupine Blade	★ Comparably high damage amongst NonoWill's Skills. However, NonoWill is not a pure attacker; she's a character who wants to attack with DoT while providing support, so you'll generally want to equip other Skills.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for NonoWill

Newborn Blade

Cornucopia Dagger

Ever-Burning Blade

[Newborn Blade] which increases HP and Attack, is recommended to help increase NonoWill's survivability. For other options, [Cornucopia Dagger] is recommended if you want to use [Thousand Blades] frequently, and [Ever-Burning Blade] is recommended if you want to focus on damage over time.

Recommended Trinkets for NonoWill

Disaster Bottle

Roaring Flint

Flying Blade Armguard

We recommend switching between [Disaster Bottle] for single targets and [Roaring Flint] for multiple targets depending on the situation. When setting [Anesthethic], using the Skill of [Flying Blade Armguard] inflicts [Sleep] on enemies with [Infected Dagger].

Recommended Tarots for NonoWill

Redemption of The Judgment

Dream of The Magician

Guidance of the World

Against single bosses, [Judgment] for debuffing is effective; for dealing damage to multiple enemies, [The Magician] or [The World] are recommended.

Recommended Engravings for NonoWill

Resonance	Effect
Sword Wand	Before actively attacking, for each 1 tile traversed, increases ATK and DEF by 4%, up to 12%. The effect lasts until the start of the next turn,
Sword Cup	When actively attacking, increases the DMG by 5% and grants 15% of [Life Steal].
Wand Cup	At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)

As a physical attacker, we recommend either [Sword + Cup] or [Sword + Wand], both of which can be maximized by NonoWill. When rolling for attributes, prioritize taking P.Atk.
