TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Nox if…

  • You specifically want Kuudere as your combat partner skill.
  • Combat-focused partner skill.

Pick Venusa if…

  • You want the higher raw attack frame — Venusa hits 100 vs Nox's 85.
  • You specifically want Snake's Sagacity as your combat partner skill.
  • You want access to the exclusive skill Poison Scatter.
Verdict

Nox and Venusa both cover Dark DPS in the Mid (R5–7) band, but they win different fights. Nox leans on Kuudere and a 85 attack frame. Venusa answers with Snake's Sagacity and 100 attack (90 Defense vs 70). Pick the partner skill and bulk profile that match how you actually fight — not just the rarer dex number.
