Anima Solid

Tier Position

Tier

T0.5

Analysis

AoE powerhouse that enhances Blossom abilities. Provides Lethal Rose Pact healing and pulls enemies together to maximize Nanally's damage.

Pros

Ability to pull enemies together is key to maximizing Nanally's output

Provides Lethal Rose Pact healing and a unique HP Devour mechanic

Cons

High opportunity cost — requires multiple dupes to truly hit T0 performance

Recommended Build

Role: Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Replacing Haniel with Hathor completes the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana top-trio around Jiuyuan, enabling Remora (Zero+Hathor), Blossom (Zero+Nanally), and the Charge triple-cycle on every rotation. Hathor's Delay Warning grants +10% Crit Rate on all Remora targets, directly amplifying Nanally's 10-Pistil salvos. The combination of More Than Passionate (10 Pistils) and Seize the Moment (6-Bud cap) delivers maximum Blossom throughput, while Zero's Insta-Cycle prevents any rotation from stalling.

Recommended Team

Nanally

Main DPS

More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils per Vita Bud at 1s intervals; primary Blossom damage dealer.

Zero

Quick Swap / Battery

Insta-Cycle (100-pt Skill charge) forces Blossom procs on demand. Appraiser doubles every Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle setups.

Jiuyuan

Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Seize the Moment spawns an extra Vita Bud and raises the field cap to 6; Intel Hunter clusters enemies for maximum multi-target Pistil coverage.

Hathor

Battery / Sub DPS

Lakshana anchor completing the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana Charge triple-cycle. Delay Warning extends Remora to 12s and grants +10% Crit Rate team-wide on Remora-marked targets — amplifying Nanally's Pistil crits every rotation.
