 Charge Spear

Recommended Burst Arts:  Variant Scythe
 * Charge Spear is the best option for breaking Nemain's Legs as it does the most pierce damage, which is the only thing the legs are not highly resisted. Charge spear also offers strong mobility options and high damage potential with proper utilization of Fang Deployment. Nemain is also short enough that you can backflip clean over it with proper timing.
 * Berserk Crush can be easily used to punish Nemain's attacks after successfully blocking them for high damage.
 * Deadly blitz and Brave Soul are both simple and effective attack enhancers that shine when you are equipped with a freeze or divine weapon
 * Spear requiem can also be used as both a powerful attack on downed Nemain but also as a block punish on some of Nemain's larger openings such as it's multi thrust and cross slash.
 * Akashic Breaker can be used to close in and strike Nemain's head more easily from a distance. It's powerful but you must be careful not to overshoot. Also works well with dive perfect guards as you can dart right back into the fray.
 * Stardust Rain and Fallen Tear are both solid attacks to strike Nemain when it is downed. The former is easier to use while Nemain is active but the latter will put you in open mode, setting you up for stronger follow ups thanks to the open mode damage boost.
 * Deathbringer is a great means to close distance between you and Nemain as it will also likely strike it's legs for high damage.
 * Ground Zero can help with causing armour piercing damage to the arms with proper aim. Best used when Nemain is downed due to both the damage boost and due to the fact that the arms are easier to hit while Nemain is downed. Just be wary of it's relatively short range.

 Biting Edge

Recommended Burst Arts:  Heavy Moon

Recommended Burst Arts: Gun Attacking Tips:
 * A great pick for melee combat due to its easy use. Its aerial attacks are viable for dealing great damage to Nemain from hitting the cephalic wings as it deals 80% slash damage in its normal form. Its base combos aren’t viable for its arms, making Moon Axe a more effective approach for breaking them due to its equal slash-crush damage ratio. It also packs with some useful Burst Arts that may carry you to victory.
 * Apocalypse Axe’s downed hits can make a short work of Nemain, especially when both its cephalic wings and arms are broken. It is also really useful for breaking Nemain’s arms.
 * Lunar Feast can deal a huge amount of damage to Nemain when positioned right. However, note that this Burst Art consumes OP and also can leave you open for a short period of time.
 * Fatal Upper’s ability to transition yourself to aerial attacks can be useful since aerial attacks are required to break Nemain’s cephalic wings.
 * Lunar Orbit is a great choice against Nemain due to its high damage output, especially when you are using either a Freeze or Divine element heavy moon. It also benefits from elemental engages, those being Raging Blizzard and Divine Wrath.
 * Lunatic Force is also a great choice for maintaining an aerial position for a longer period of time so that you can land more hits on its cephalic wings.
 * Step Burst Arts such as Supermoon and Tempest Step can help in closing the distance between yourself and Nemain, making it a useful pick if Nemain gets too far away from you.

General
 * The preferred bullet option against Nemain is crush-type. Crush bullets are really good in destroying Nemain’s arms, as well as its cephalic wings.
 * Pierce bullets only really work well on Nemain's cephalic wings until the rest of it's bonds are broken.
 * Aim At foe WIP
 * Once the Legs are broken, they are the most vulnerable part to pierce bullets.
 * If you have the Gun form combo set, you can line up shots aimed at Nemain's head from melee combos and guards.

Assault

Sniper
 * Bringing Chain Blast Bullets can be beneficial since they can destroy its arms and cephalic wings fairly quickly. Drawback shots are also a good way to attack while evading Nemain’s attacks at the same time.
 * Standard Rapid shots and X-laser should be targeted at Nemain's head unless the legs are broken.
 * Mine like custom bullets can stop Nemain in it's tracks when it uses it's multi thrust. Works best with assault as you can drawback shot after.

Shotgun
 * Nemain has no weakpoint to exploit for criticals so the Concentration BCU is useless here. You will deal the most pierce damage by focusing on Nemain's head.
 * Sniper bombs are a strong pick due to the additional crush damage allowing the Sniper to deal solid damage to Nemain arms.
 * A solid pick as Buckshot bullets can do fairly good damage to both the head and arms. Rush fire can close distance quickly if necessary.
 * if you want to pack Slugs or Tracker Torpedoes, aim the slugs at the head and the Torpedoes for Nemain's arms.

Raygun

Elemental
 * Has solid options for raw pierce and crush damage thanks to the selection of beams and radials.
 * Aim beams at the head, making sure to watch what Nemain is doing so you can defend properly. If you can break the legs, start aiming there.
 * Radials work well on the arms and do solid damage to the head once it's broken.
 * Nemain is weak to both Freeze and Divine but it's broken bonds are more vulnerable to freeze.

Unbounding Tips:

Cephalic Wings

Arms
 * Most vulnerable to slash Melee and Pierce Bullets but continued aerial attacks and bullets aimed at the head should break it relatively fast.


 * Crush damage of either type excels at breaking the arms. As such, Buster blade and Boost Hammer work great for breaking the arms. Aim any crush bullets at the arms to help break them faster.

Legs


 * Resisted by everything except to pierce melee attacks so charge spear shines at attacking the legs. Due to it's resistance being so low, it should be the main target for pierce attacks.

'Attacks:'
 * Stab Rush: Nemain pulls it's left arm back and runs towards you, repeatedly stabbing the floor in front of it. It alternates between it's arms and starts with it's left arm. Will stop prematurely if blocked.
 * Leap: Nemain will quickly crouch and then jumps a great distance in the direction of the target, leaving a shock-wave as it lands. Stuns on hit. Easiest to evade by sidestepping and it will often jump over the target if they are too close.
 * Multi Thrust: Nemain's favoured attack at mid range. Will pull it's right arm back and lunge towards a target. If the attacks misses it's target then it will quickly jump back and thrust again between 1-3 more times. Will stop if the attack hits or is blocked by it's target. Blocking is the preferred way to deal with this attack as it leaves Nemain wide open afterwards, especially if perfect guarded.
 * Charge thrust: Nemain briefly charges a thrust, indicated by blue particles around its arm and thrusts it forward. Can be one of two attacks depending on the range: either a short ranged quick thrust or a much stronger thrust with a longer charge time but greatly increased range and the ability to hit multiple times if blocked. The best indicator is the size of the particles as it charges.
 * Cross Slash: Nemain crosses it's blades in front of it and rushes towards you with it's arms behind it and then swings them forward in an X formation in front of it. A fast and strong attack that has a long wind up and leaves it wide open if properly defended against.
 * Piercing Dive: Nemain will leap into the air and red needles will appear as it dives towards a target. The needles follow slightly behind it and will hit around Nemain as it lands so be careful not to get caught in the crossfire. Can hit multiple times if blocked normally.
 * Crow's Cry: Nemain bends forward and crosses it's arms in front of it's face. It will then reel back and shout, emitting a short ranged shock-wave around itself. Inflicts defence down on hit.
 * Feather Storm: Only used at low HP. Nemain pulls it's arms back and large amount of feathers appear around it as flaming wings appear near it's head and it will launch the feathers at you in an area around the target as it swings itself forward. Inflicts defense down on hit and can hit multiple times if blocked normally.
 * Flaming Gust: Nemain pulls it's arms back and flaming wings will appear from behind it and they will summon a fiery tornado as Nemain throws it's arms forward and beats its wings. This tornado will slowly move towards a target before splitting into four smaller tornadoes that will travel in four directions (forward, back, left and right of where it split). Inflicts defense down on hit. Be aware that the animation of Nemain throwing it's arms forwards is a separate hit-box that can damage you if you are too close.

Other Useful Tips:
 * Nemain is fixated on it's target when it uses Multi Thrust. Someone else blocking the attack usually won't stop it so make sure you know when Nemain is targeting you so you can stop it in it's tracks quickly.
 * Defence is often the preferred option for dealing with Nemain's attacks as it stops several of it's more common attacks earlier than if you try to evade them. Nemain's attacks are also quite easy to perfect guard due their generous tells making it quite easy to predict.
