Nuadha/Advanced Information

Blade Attacking Tips:  Short Blade

Recommended Burst Arts:   Long Blade
 * A solid choice for attack and mobility, also having an advantage to stay airborne for a long period of time to avoid its ground-based attack that doesn’t reach double jump height. It also packs some strong and agile Burst Arts to be used to your advantage.
 * Gale dance can score very easy weakpoint damage bonuses on Nuadha's left arm even before it is broken.
 * Scwalbe is a great choice for mobility as it can close the distance between yourself and Nuadha, making it easier for you to attack it.
 * Dead End works well against Nuadha due to its armor piercing that helps in destroying its legs more quickly.
 * You can take advantage of Licht Kreuz’s retreat as it helps in evading Nuadha’s close ranged attacks as well as dealing damage at the same time.
 * Rampaging Comet can decimate Nuadha, mainly when the hits connect to its left arm as well as its right arm and core in Burst Mode.
 * Lightning Scourge is a powerful Burst Art for Nuadha due to its damage and quicker hit rate since you’ll only stay in one spot. It’s downed hits can deal great damage overall, making bond breaks easier with it.
 * Whirling Death is another option for mobility as it helps in closing distance between youself and Nuadha as well as evading its attacks.
 * Stinging Flare’s downed hits deal great damage to Nuadha, making it useful to break its legs and left arm. However in terms of left arm hits, its damage is overshadowed by Rampaging Comet but it has the advantage to be steer-able.
 * Heaven and Earth can be used to great effect on Nuadha's Left arm, taking advantage of it's weakpoint bonus and the size of the arm making the upwards slash easier to hit.

Recommended Burst Arts:
 * A good all around pick. Has a varied kit across many strong burst arts that can be used to great advantage against Nuadha. Especially since Nuadha's left arm is weak to slash even before it's broken. Impulse Edges can be aimed at the legs to more effectively soften them up (especially base Impulse Edge or Flames of Purgatory which strike for ranged crush damage)
 * Lifestealer Claw can help offset any poison damage with frequent use and can be quickly followed up with an Impulse Edge on larger openings.
 * Flame of Purgatory 's downed hits deal massive damage to Nuadha, mainly when the hits connect its weaker spots such as its left arm, right arm (Burst Mode) and core (Burst Mode). Note that OP Conservation is a mandatory matter when using this Burst Art.
 * Shining Ray is a great choice due to its combination of long range and high damage, mainly when aimed directly at Nuadha’s left arm.
 * Swift Slash can easily punish Nuadha's slower attacks to great effect with proper positioning to strike the left arm and take advantage of it's weakpoint damage bonus. Earthly Pillars and Double Stomp especially give ample time to ready a strike to Nuadha's Left arm.
 * Sacred Edge works well against Nuadha, mainly because of Nuadha's slower speed and how simple it is to land hits on its left arm. Having either a Blaze or a Divine Long Blade can increase this Burst Art's effectiveness.
 * Void Cutter is a great option on dealing damage to Nuadha due to its armor piercing, making it easier to break bonds with it.
 * Whirlwind Sword works well against Nuadha due to its high OP Absorption, which is useful to regain OP for Impulse Edge or gun attacks. This Burst Art is an effective choice when picking Impulse Edge Burst Arts.
 * Aspara Wings deals great damage to Nuadha, as well as making it easier for you to follow up with aerial attacks.

 Buster Blade

Recommended Burst Arts: 
 * One of the strongest options for melee combat, as its crush damage can destroy its aureole quickly. It has some very powerful Burst Art picks as well.
 * A successful parry with Anathema gives out extremely good results as it deals massive damage to Nuadha as well as piercing its defenses.
 * Crazy Stride can be an effective choice for dealing damage as some of Nuadha’s attacks are short-ranged and easy to exploit, making charging from afar not much of an issue.
 * Sky Cleaver is a great choice due to its high damage output as well as a slightly faster swinging speed. Having a Blaze or Divine Buster Blade can make it more effective in battle.
 * Nemesis decimates Nuadha’s Aureole, as well as making short work of the Aragami itself due to its armor piercing as well as huge damage.
 * Dividing Edge’s downed hits make short work of Nuadha, mainly when they connect with its left arm.
 * Spinning Break helps in closing distance between yourself and Nuadha, making it easier to engage it in battle.
 * Destruction is a strong option as it deals huge damage to Nuadha’s left arm.

 Boost Hammer

Recommended Burst Arts:
 * Its full crush damage plays a significant role in breaking the aureole due to it being weak to crush. It also performs very well against its left arm. It packs some strong selection of Burst Arts that helps in completing missions more quickly.
 * Grand Finale can deal a massive amount of damage to Nuadha, also being usable when you’re far away since you have Boost Drive to assist you with drifting you towards your desired location before doing one massive blow.
 * Howling Soul deals massive damage to Nuadha despite its long charge time. It can also help in transitioning to aerial attacks.
 * Erupting Impact can be an effective pick since you can use Boost Drive’s mobility to your advantage due to Nuadha’s slower speed, which makes it easy to tap into this Burst Art’s full power with every hit connected.
 * Heat Drive can make a short work of Nuadha, mainly when it’s in a downed position where its left arm is easier to hit.
 * Chaos Impact is a great choice for aerial Burst Arts due to its high damage and low complexity in terns of usage. Having a Blaze or Divine Hammer will boost effectiveness of this Burst Art.
 * Calamity Nova can be effective in some of Nuadha’s attacks that involve a big opening, mainly its Earthly Pillars attack.

 Charge Spear

Recommended Burst Arts: 
 * Charge Spears excel in both attack and mobility from Charge Glide, varied burst arts and Backflips giving users a variety of tools to put themselves in optimal position to strike at Nuadha's weak points and avoid it's attacks.
 * Berserk Crush does well against Nuadha’s attacks that don’t involve too much movement, mainly when you position yourself near Nuadha’s left arm to do as many strong blows as possible while your stamina lasts.
 * Hit and Run is a great choice for mobility as you can perform a quick backflip right after your charge glide connects. Its damage output shouldn’t be underestimated as well.
 * Spear Requiem and Fallen Tear deal massive damage to a downed Nuadha, making a short work of it mainly when the hits connect to its weakspots. Proper defense and positioning can also create openings on attacks like Earthly pillars and Double Stomp which have a large opening after use, best exploited when the attacks are perfect guarded.
 * Valkyrie Glide can deal huge damage to Nuadha when the hits connect to its weaker spots.
 * Akashic Breaker is a great choice for due to its high damage output and mobility.
 * Stardust Rain can decimate Nuadha, mainly when Fang Deployment Mode is active since it still deals a lot of damage even if Nuadha isn’t downed.
 * Double Threat is a great option that allows you to close distance with a wide reaching swipe and gain bonus damage on Nuadha's weakpoints. More effective on Burst Nuadha since it's right arm is closer to the ground.
 * Deathbringer works well against Nuadha since you can either deal damage or move away from its attacks with this Burst Art, due to it being steerable.

 Variant Scythe Recommended Burst Arts:
 * Most grounded attacks will strike the legs primarily but Variant scythe has a very strong selection of burst arts, especially aerial burst arts, for striking at Nuadha's weakpoints for large amounts of damage
 * Mercy Spiral can be used to great effect on both downed Nuadha and some it's larger openings. The very High OP Absorption can also set you up for gunplay. Be aware that you can cancel out of it with the Gun form actions.
 * Soul Eater and  Bloody claw can aid in offsetting poison damage if you don't have any detox pills left.
 * Inferno Rush makes Round Fang Much more usable against Nuadha as it allows for more precise vertical strikes on the left arm or the Aureole if used from behind.
 *  Nightmare Reaper can decimate Nuadha's left arm with proper aim and Burst Nuadha adds the option of striking the right arm for bonus damage.
 * Fanatic's Scythe Is a bit high risk but incredibly effective against Nuadha as all of it's bonds are large targets best hit with aerial attacks and Fanatic's Scythe strikes for a lot of damage, especially on Nuadha's Left arm (and right arm in burst) where it can take advantage of it's added weakpoint damage bonus. Best used with the D>>Acrobat Acceleration Trigger and Raw courage Burst Control Unit
 *  Dystopia  works as a slightly safer aerial option that deals additional damage on downed Nuadha.
 * Twin Talons allows for enhanced cleave fangs and the added Stamina restoration aids in continuous assault.
 * Grim Reaper allows aerial setup from steps.

 Biting Edge

Recommended Burst Arts:   Heavy Moon
 * WIP
 * WIP

Recommended Burst Arts: Gun Attacking Tips: General
 * WIP
 * WIP
 * Nuadha's resistance to Crush and Pierce Bullets is fairly similar across most of it's parts, slightly favouring crush bullets on it's legs but slightly favouring pierce on it's torso and right shoulder. As the legs are the only one of these parts that can be broken, Crush bullets have a slight advantage.
 * Aim at foe Bullets will aim for the core regardless of whether Nuadha is in burst or not.
 * The head can be shot for more damage than any unbroken bond but working towards breaking a bond will make things easier in the long run.
 * It is much safer to strike the Aureole with bullets than it is in melee so aiming shots at the Aureole to soften it up can make breaking it much easier.

Assault


 * WIP
 * Standard homing bullets will target the core, making them very powerful against Burst Nuadha at a distance. The arm is a large enough target that aiming slightly towards it or shooting from nuadha's left side should make hitting it relatively easy.

Sniper


 * WIP
 * Nuadha has 3 weakpoints to exploit for criticals but 2 of them are only available when Nuadha is in Burst: The Left arm (once broken) is available against standard nuadha but it's right arm and the exposed core are only available in burst.

Shotgun
 * A strong option for breaking Nuadha's legs and can do good bursts of damage once the left arm is broken but is not well equipped to break the Aureole safely.
 * Buckshots and tracker torpedoes can help greatly in breaking the legs as crush bullet damage is the strongest option against them.

Raygun


 * WIP

Elemental Status Resistances:
 * Nuadha is weak to both Blaze and Divine equally.

Enraged Effects Rage Indicator
 * Like other Ashborns, it will be surrounded by thin ash particles when enraged.
 * Nuadha’s speed increases and its attacks hit harder.

'Attacks:' Normal Attacks:
 * Slap Combo - Nuadha moves forward while slapping its targets in front of it 3 to 4 times.
 * Swipe - Nuadha swipes its targets that were too close to it away with a swipe from its left hand.
 * Half-Spin Swipe - Nuadha rotates 180 degrees while trying to swipe its targets that were within its hand’s proximity.
 * Growl - Nuadha unleashes a shockwave with its growl, dealing damage to nearby targets.
 * Earthly Pillars - Nuadha prepares itself for a huge slam to the ground with its left arm. A short while after the hand hits the ground, pillars will emerge from the ground around it in a circular fashion.
 * Titanic Slam - Nuadha jumps towards its targets, slamming them as it lands on the ground.
 * Ruinous Toxin - Nuadha spits some poison from its saliva, leaving poisonous puddles on the ground that will linger for a short period of time.
 * Double Stomp- Nuadha stands in place and stomps both of it's feet one after the other. Has a fairly long opening afterwards.
 * Rocky Wave - A low health attack. Nuadha quickly slams its left hand to the ground, causing stone pillars to erupt in front of it.

Devour Attack: Burst Mode Attacks:
 * Hands of Ruin - Nuadha’s left hand will release concentrated oracle cells in a form of numerous small dark red hands. It will then jump on its chosen target up to 4 times if they are far enough from it. It will do a 360 degree turn if its target is close enough after jumping or after it jumps 4 times. It will stop after the spin, a perfect guard or a successful devour.

In Burst Mode, Nuadha will grow itself a larger right arm made from a collection of its tiny arms, coated with venom. Its aureole will emit a more intense purple aura that signifies its increased strength. Most of its attacks will now inflict venom.


 * Punch of the King - Nuadha delivers a deadly punch with its right arm that extends beyond expected reach. Its victims will fall into deadly venom.
 * Ruinous Swipes - Nuadha swipes its targets in front of it with 3 to 5 deadly swipes with its right arm, inflicting venom to those in contact with it.
 * Combo of Ruin - Nuadha will perform a combo starting from 4 punches with both its arms, before slamming the ground hard with its right arm. After a short while, corroded stone pillars will erupt from the ground, its range radius even further than that of its Earthly Pillars attack. Right after the pillars erupted, stones will be thrown towards where its targets are standing, making it unsafe if they stay stationary.

Other Useful Tips:
 * The Acceleration triggers HP Healer and HP Snatcher can make the poison much less of an issue.
