Colucci Secret Skill
Basic Attack: Colucci Secret Skill
Bares her fangs and brandishes her claws, performing up to 5 consecutive attacks, dealing Anima DMG. Dodging does not interrupt the combo.
Basic Attack: Heavy Hitter!
Triggers by holding Basic Attack. Performs up to 3 powerful attacks, dealing Anima DMG. Chains after Critical Riposte and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th attacks of Colucci Secret Skill. Dodging does not interrupt the combo.
Basic Attack: Colucci Secret Gundo
Enters aim mode, dealing 1 instance of single-target Anima DMG to the enemy in the crosshair.
Basic Attack: Grand Entrance!
Swings her claws in the air and plunges, dealing 1 instance of Anima DMG to an area upon impact. Increases DMG based on fall height, up to 200%.
Critical Riposte: Can't Touch This!
Triggers when using Colucci Secret Skill after a Critical Dodge. Charges toward the target at full speed, planting one hand on the ground, delivering a roundhouse kick that deals 1 instance of Anima DMG to an area, and reducing Break.
Said to be a secret combat technique passed down in the Colucci, though it clearly incorporates many street-fighting elements from Hethereau.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Both Ichi-Daime's Authority and Underboss stacking together means her damage will be very high once both are active.
Boosts Blossom output just by running her normal rotation, so she's contributing to the whole team.
Straightforward rotation that isn't hard to pick up
Walks on walls in the overworld which is genuinely useful for exploration. + Shop Management buffs (and can bonk customers!)
Cons
Wants a lot of uninterrupted field time and loses a significant chunk of her burst window the moment she gets hit.
Ichi-Daime's Authority doesn't persist when you switch out, so if you're forced off field you're rebuilding from scratch.
Review
Ohoo, so you want to be a member of the Colucci Family? Well, you came to the right place. Meet Nanally, an Anima Attribute character who performs in the Damage role in combat.
To sum it up simply, Nanally is all about Follow-Up Attacks. You can apply follow-up attacks via her passive, Fair Duel, every time a character on the team deals an instance of Esper Cycle DMG to an enemy while in the Ichi-Daime's Authority state, which you get from her skill, Colucci Howling Technique, and which also deals damage. While in this state, you can walk on any surface and climb extremely fast, but more importantly, in battle, it gives you a whopping 30% increase in Crit DMG.
You also summon the Underboss from using her Ultimate, Colucci Ultimate Technique. After you use this damaging Ultimate, Underboss becomes active, and for every hit you land, you will also deal Anima DMG that counts as follow-up attacks. So if you have both the Ichi-Daime's Authority state active and Underboss, she is going to deal a lot of damage with her basic attacks.
Though, she wants uninterrupted field time during this burst, and a lot of it. Her damage comes from chaining those normal attacks together, and if something hits her and breaks that chain, you lose a significant chunk of her burst window. The Ichi-Daime's Authority state also does not persist when switching out.
Her rotation is straightforward: open with her Skill, then use her Ultimate to grab the burst buff. After that, you just spam normal attacks. When her Ultimate is ready again, open with her Skill first. The last hit of the Ultimate launches enemies into the air, then you use normal attacks to fill the Esper Cycle meter and swap to your next intended Esper Cycle reaction, probably Blossom, though Hexed works too, and repeat.
Overall, Nanally is a main DPS with a pretty clear usage style. Both of her states stacking on top of each other is what makes her so dangerous. Ichi-Daime's Authority provides that 30% Crit DMG buff, while Underboss simultaneously converts every normal attack hit into additional Anima follow-up damage, meaning the damage compounds fast once she gets rolling.
Her Passive, More than Passionate, also significantly boosts Blossom output, so she actively contributes to the whole team's reaction damage just by running her normal rotation. And if none of that sold you, her skill,, letting her walk on walls in the overworld is genuinely useful for exploration on top of everything else.

Teams & Synergy
Synergies
- A great choice for any character that they can cause an Esper Cycle with due to their Instant Cycle on their Skill.
- Provides good cycle damage when built with Cycle Intensity.
- Can be built to be a semi-sustain in Charge team setups or with the Arc “Your Happiness is Priceless”.
- Provides 2 Vita Buds whenever a Blossom interaction is triggered, allowing for double the damage from the Esper Cycle.
- A strong option for AoE content due to her ability to gather enemies easily with her Skill.
- A good dual DPS option when playing Hotori as a Sub DPS, as Nanally requires more field time while Hotori can operate effectively from the sidelines.
- Hotori's recording ability can capture Nanally's skills during Present Replay, contributing to a big burst window during her Ultimate.
- Triggers the Blossom Cycle Reaction with Hotori, with her More Than Passionate passive further boosting Blossom output for the team.
- Hotori's Ghost Orchid Crest passive allows Nanally's Vita Bud attacks to continue even during Time Stop.
- Deals damage from off-field and buff’s the on-field character’s attack with her signature Arc, which is great when paired with any main DPS unit.
- Buffs the team’s attack after using her Ultimate and Crit DMG when she has all 6 Awakenings active.
- A strong choice even when there’s no opportunity to create an Esper Cycle.
- Buffs the team’s attack by 30% and shred’s enemy defense by 10% with her Ultimate. (Even stronger with her “Wishful Reliance” awakening active)
- Creates the opportunity to trigger the Hex Esper Cycle for Nanally to deal an additional 20% damage for 12s.
- Can be used in a dual dps comp with Nanally in a Charge team setup for higher Ultimate uptime.
- Extends Remora duration to 12 seconds, allowing for more Charge procs; and provides a crit buff when attacking targets with Remora.
- Gaining copies of Nanally and obtaining her awakening “Gang Formation” (A1) will end up making Charge teams less of a necessity for Nanally.
- A decent Sub DPS option for a dual DPS team.
- An option for triggering Blossom with Nanally.
- Provides shielding to the team.
- Creates the opportunity to trigger the Hex Esper Cycle for Nanally to deal an additional 20% damage for 12s.
- Provides healing to the team.
- Can participate in the Blossom reaction.
- Can give an attack buff on his Ultimate when using the Speedy Hedgehog set, and provide additional defense to characters standing in his ult with his awakening “Visitor from Planet Curiosity”.
Teams
Blossom Team
This team focuses on generating as many Blossoms as possible through MC's Instant Cycle ability on their Skill and Hotori being able to repeat this during her Time Stop. Nanally has pretty high field time to take advantage of that synergy, as no one else on this team takes much field time. For those missing Hotori, other options like Haniel or Sakiri can provide damage boosts.
Rotation information: When Hotori has max energy, spend half to use her Skill and begin recording teammate skills. Within the 5-second window, you are aiming to: Use MC’s skill to fill the cycle bar and Ultimate to proc Speedy Hedgehog, then switch to Jiuyuan and proc Blossom, then switch to Nanally to use her skill and Ultimate. Spend a bit of time on Nanally to use her Underboss follow-up attacks, and by the time her enhanced basics run out, Hotori’s Ultimate should be available to cast. This Ultimate will recast everyone’s skill, dealing more damage from Nanally’s skill and refilling MC’s Cycle bar again. Before the time that Hotori’s ult fills again, you’ll want to swap into Nanally for any Blossom procs to give her additional energy and use Jiuyuan’s Ult and skill. This repeats when Hotori has max energy again. Note: If you use Sakiri or Haniel in this team instead of Hotori you’ll want to make sure to get as much of Nanally's rotation into the 20 second buff duration as possible, so keep the field time with Zero and Jiuyuan short by just doing Ultimate and Skill and swap off.
Hexed Team
Nanally will be the main damage dealer in this team, but everyone can take advantage of the Hexed reaction here. With 2 characters of each attribute it is possible to maintain Hexed 100% of the time.
Rotation information: The goal is to have buffs and Hexed up when doing Nanally’s on-field damage. If starting with max resources, we would want to start on Jiuyuan and switch into Adler. Then we use Adler’s skill and ultimate then switch off to Sakiri. After Sakiri’s Ult and skill have buffed the team, we can swap to Jiuyuan for her Ult and Skill. Then we go to Nanally and use her skill into ult and enhanced basic attack combo. From this point the burst rotation is over, but we still have the Hexed procs for Nanally into an Incantation teammate and Adler into an Anima teammate as well. One of these can be used freely to gain extra damage while getting ult energy for Nanally and Sakiri, and the other should be saved for the second rotation. By the time the second rotation completes, you should have another Support Skill or 2 available to keep Hexed ongoing!
Awakening & Calculations
Awakening Review
In NTE, you can freely choose Awakening Effects, so you are not forced to unlock them in a specific order, and you can unselect them at any time.
Awakening order of importance:
Gang Formation (A1) > Because We're Family (A5) = Call Me the Boss (A3) > Not a Troublemaker (A4) > Followers Everywhere (A6) > Second Member (A2)
Honestly, all of her Awakenings are pretty good. Gang Formation (A1) is generally your first pickup if you don’t have any other Awakening, granting her 2.5 Ultimate Energy for each follow-up attack she performs, which greatly improves her ult consistency and smooths out her rotations.
Because We're Family (A5) and Call Me the Boss (A3) sit at roughly the same priority and go very well with each other if you have 2 Awakenings to spend. They are treated as equal priority mainly because you generally want both together for combat value, even though A3 on its own does not give as high of a damage boost as A5. This combo should give you a higher DMG boost than picking Gang Formation (A1) first. A3 triggers an additional follow-up attack dealing Anima DMG whenever she deals damage during Ichi-daime's Authority, and A5 stacks up to 20% ATK off every follow-up attack she performs, so A5’s effect is a lot stronger with if you also have A3.
Not a Troublemaker (A4) doubles Underboss's damage output, which is a good boost on its own, but it gets even better once Second Member (A2) is extending Underboss uptime by 3 seconds. A2 is the lowest priority on its own but pairs well with A4.
Followers Everywhere (A6) extends Ichi-daime's Authority to 15 seconds in combat and 20 seconds out of combat. It sits a bit lower on the priority list for combat reasons, but outside of it, it’s genuinely a great QoL since Ichi-daime's Authority state also lets Nanally ignore gravity and walk on any surface, so making it last longer is just nice.
Getting to R6 (all 6 copies) will give you an additional 15% DMG buff with no conditions attached.
Awakening Calculations
Nanally dupe calculations show the relative gain of each Awakening compared to the 'base' character without any active.
A1
Grants Nanally 2.5 Ultimate Energy for each follow-up attack she performs. Triggers at most once every 1s.
This grants Nanally Ultimate Energy for each follow-up attack she performs, greatly improving how consistently she gets her Ultimate back. This is your first pickup without question since smoother ult rotations are core to how she plays, and getting that extra Ultimate per rotation makes her burst windows much more reliable overall.
A2
Underboss lasts 3s longer.
This extends how long Underboss stays active on the field. It's the lowest priority of her awakenings since the other ones do more for her damage on their own, but it does make Not a Troublemaker (A4) hit harder since Underboss is active longer.
A3
Applies 1 follow-up attack to a single enemy, dealing Anima DMG of 50% ATK whenever Nanally deals damage to an enemy while in Ichi-daime's Authority. Triggers up to once per second.
This applies an additional follow-up attack dealing Anima DMG every time Nanally deals damage while in Ichi-Daime's Authority, triggering up to once per second. It's a very good pickup that adds up fast given how many hits she's landing during her burst window, and it also feeds into Because We're Family stacking even quicker.
A4
Underboss deals 100% increased damage.
This doubles Underboss's damage output, which is a significant boost given how many hits Underboss contributes during her burst. It's a strong pickup on its own but it gets even better once Second Member (A2) is extending Underboss uptime, so keep that combo in mind when planning your awakening order.
A5
Increases Nanally's ATK by 2% for each follow-up attack she performs, up to 20%. Disappears when Nanally leaves the battlefield or exits combat.
This stacks up ATK for every follow-up attack Nanally performs, building up over the course of her burst window. It's one of her best damage awakenings and a natural early pickup alongside A3 since Call Me the Boss generates more follow-up attacks, meaning the two feed directly into each other for a much bigger combined boost.
A6
Extends the duration of Ichi-daime's Authority state to 15s, and further extends it to 20s when out of combat.
This extends the duration of Ichi-Daime's Authority state, giving her more time to build stacks and deal damage in that window. It's a decent pickup that smooths out her rotation but it sits lower on the priority list since her core damage awakenings do more overall. Though if you just want to use this for the overworld you can swap it on just for that.
R3
Increases the skill level of Colucci Secret Skill, Colucci Howling Technique, and Colucci Ultimate Technique by 1.
R3 is a generic skill level increase, and all calculations are Raw Gain with no other Awakens included.
R6
Increases Nanally's damage by an additional 15%.
R6 gives Nanally a flat percentage damage increase across the board with no conditions attached. It's a clean and reliable boost that applies to everything she does, and getting to R2 (meaning all six copies) is also what unlocks an additional team DMG buff on top of that. Calculations are Raw Gain with no other Awakens included.
