At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Nanally
- Plasma Arc compatibility keeps gear shared with same-family characters.
- High-ceiling Collins combo kit with strong Plasma-Arc Anima damage.
- Team comps above cover premium, alt, and budget shells — swap partners by what you own.
- Pull targets are editorial — weigh against your account needs and limited banner plans.
Shinku
- High ceiling burst once Surging Crimson is online — enhanced basics/skills plus Crimson Fury finisher.
- Charge Enhancement is real team value: off-field Ultimates charge whenever the active character gains energy.
- Readable game plan: fill gauge → Ultimate into Frenzy → dump enhanced kit → breath finisher.
- Dual-state kit has a learning curve — mistiming the Frenzy window wastes Defiant Spirit.
- Important QoL (full interrupt resistance, keeping stacks after swap) is gated behind Awakenings rather than the base kit.
- Melee range and gauge-building tempo punish play that sits off-field too long without a plan.
