SP Nungal Pros and Strength

SP Nungal's Character Overview

Mobile AoE Attacker

The combination of SP Nungal's Trait, Phantom Spears, and the repositioning effects from her skills provide SP Nungal with numerous movement tools.

Although her damage per hit isn't particularly impressive, effective use of her Phantom Spears along with allies who also have [Rally Command] significantly improves her damage output, making her a well-rounded character with very high offensive potential.

Utilizing Phantom Spears Is Crucial

SP Nungal generates the item Phantom Spear via her Trait and some of their Skills. If an enemy picks it up, they are inflicted with an M.DEF debuff. If any allied character picks it up, they gain a Critical & Move UP buff.

Furthermore, when an allied character picks it up, SP Nungal can recover HP and activate the attack Skill [March of Oaths] on surrounding enemies, dealing additional damage.

Has Rally Command/Response

SP Nungal has access to skills with [Rally Command] and [Rally Response] effects, which have good synergy with characters like from the Sword of Convallaria faction, such as SP Maitha.

Since SP Nungal's damage per hit is not high, the key to increasing their offensive performance is to be mindful of utilizing Phantom Spears and activating Rally Command/Response.

Pair with Other Rally Command Users

[Break - Swift Assault] is a Skill that deals 100% AoE damage and is quite unremarkable on its own, but it can trigger up to twice per turn due to Rally Response. Be aware that pairing SP Nungal with other characters who have Rally Command will significantly increase her total damage.

Durable Debuffer

SP Nungal has many means of recovery, and can gain damage reduction and the Resolve effect from the [Onslaught] buff obtained from the [Onslaught - Piercing Will] skill. She also has ways to weaken enemies, as she can inflict M.DEF and damage reduction debuffs.

High Investment for Performance

While SP Nungal can perform admirably well with most gear, she becomes significantly more powerful at 5-stars when wearing the correct gear. At 5-stars and while equipped with the Crimson Quill Trinket, SP Nungal can self-recover NRG.

By supplementing her Criticals with a Weapon and Justice Tarot, you can use [Onslaught - Piercing Will] every turn without support from allies. SP Nungal can also be expected to land numerous critical hits.

Be Mindful of Phantom Spears and Party Formation

SP Nungal is an easy-to-use and powerful character with high durability and excellent mobility. However, to enhance her offensive performance, utilizing her Phantom Spears and Rally Command/Responses are essential. Be sure to understand her mechanics to unlock her full potential.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for SP Nungal

Aim to Reach 3★ → 4★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	3★ → 4★ → 5★

Prioritize getting to 3-stars, which increases Move and removes the CD for creating Phantom Spears. At 4-stars, picking up a Phantom Spear increases ATK and DEF. At 5-stars, Crit is further increased and picking up a Phantom Spear reduces the Class Skill's CD by 1, which allows [Onslaught - Piercing Will] to be used each turn.

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Mobile Skirmisher	★★★★★ A powerful Passive that has a Move Again effect and allows you to gain buffs via Rally Response, while also generating a "Phantom Spear" every turn. It has an effect that is a key part of SP Nungal's playstyle, so it should be prioritized for your build.
Onslaught - Piercing Will	★★★★★ A powerful Skill that lets you move and deal wide-area damage, inflicting debuffs on enemies, granting buffs like Resolve to yourself, and also has a Rally Command effect. It's also excellent because absorbing a Phantom Spear activates its additional effect, and its 5-star effect's CD reduction allows it to be used every turn.
Break - Swift Assault	★★★★ An easy-to-use Ranged attack. It has Rally Response and automatically activates up to twice per turn in response to an ally's Rally Command. It's extremely powerful when included in a build with a Rally Command user, but its priority is lower otherwise.
Flare of Steel	★★★★ A Reaction that reduces damage taken by 10% and has many useful effects like Preempt and movement. However, Preempt only triggers on attacks from the front or sides, and the drawback of moving to an unexpected location is significant. Best used when you have a clear objective, such as on stages where you need to disengage from enemies.
Poised Elegance	★★★★ A Reaction with a 2-CD Dodge that also has the major effect of reducing AoE damage by 50%. It's easy to use and especially powerful on stages where enemies use AoE attacks. Use this if you're concerned about the movement drawbacks of the other Reaction.

Skill	Priority and Details
Break - Fierce Lunge	★★★ An easy-to-use Instant skill, but its attack power is on the lower side. Use it when you want to increase damage against enemies with Shields or nullify Resolve. Its priority also increases if you can't utilize Rally Response or if your Star Level Up progression is low.
Sealing Attack	★★★ While its use cases are limited, it can shine on stages where you need to nullify Passives, so you should generally equip this Basic Attack.
Sense of Honor	★★★ Has an excellent effect that greatly increases Crit Rate and Crit DMG while also recovering NRG on a critical hit. However, it only activates when Healthy, and your Crit Rate or NRG may become excessive depending on your Star Level Up progression or Gear. If you equip this, adjust your Gear, for example by setting your Tarot to The Magician.
Battle Fever	★★ It's easy to activate since it makes increasing your critical chance easier, but there are many other Skills to prioritize, so its priority is low.
Insight	★★ Equip this on stages where dispelling enemy Defense Attribute Buffs is effective.
Frontline Action	★★ Only equip this on stages where increasing SPD will make positioning easier.
Parry	★★ It can reduce damage taken and make it easier to activate the Preempt of the Reaction [Flare of Steel], but you should generally equip other higher-priority Skills.
Sealing Bash	★ Useful on stages where you need to nullify enemy Passives or Reactions, and where they can be nullified.
Silencing Attack	★ Its effect overlaps with [Onslaught - Piercing Will], so prioritize equipping the other Basic Attack.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for SP Nungal

Spear of the Breaking Storm

Army-breaking Spear

Double-Sided Halberd

Spear of the Breaking Storm, which significantly increases magic damage by moving more than a specified distance, is the most recommended option. However, if your Star Level is low or if you are unable to provide NRG Recovery, Army-breaking Spear is also a compatible and powerful choice.

Recommended Trinkets for SP Nungal

Crimson Quill

Blood Luxite Amulet

Maverick's Cloak

The Crimson Quill is most recommended because it generates the Item Phantom Spear every turn, providing significant NRG Recovery and an ATK and DEF boost. Other recommended options include the Blood Luxite Amulet, which increases AoE damage, and the Maverick's Cloak, which works well with SP Nungal who tends to rush forward.

Recommended Tarots for SP Nungal

Verdict of Justice

Dream of The Magician

Temptation of The Devil

Justice, which increases Critical Rate, or Magician, which greatly boosts AoE Attack DMG, both have excellent synergy and are highly recommended.

Recommended Engravings for SP Nungal

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,
Wand Wand	After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].
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%)

Sword + Wand, which increases stats; Wand + Wand, which grants numerous buffs; and Wand + Cup, which reduces NRG consumption, are all recommended.
