About
The sheltered scion of a bloodline with both human and faerie roots. She and her ancestors steward wisdom of history's hidden truths and the so-called "key to perdition." When in danger, her faerie powers awaken in the form of a lone wing.

Overview

With one wing and two eye colors, Nino joins the roster as Wind’s first dragondrive adventurer (Gala Notte doesn’t quite count). On the surface, her kit appears rather plain without any outstanding utility, but this is offset by her titanic DPS potential. Similar to Bellina, Nino’s dragondrive Skill 1 completely resets itself when used, allowing for back-to-back-to-back multicasts (just remember to weave in some standard attacks/force strikes to keep her gauge up).

Strengths

Powerful Burst / Sustained Damage

With proper dragondrive gauge management, Nino can chain Skill 1’s together indefinitely. Nino can also opt to completely unload her gauge, firing an onslaught of Skill 1’s for ridiculous burst damage.

Weaknesses

Low Utility

Nino is a fairly selfish pick who provides almost nothing but raw damage. Entire teams must be built around her since she lacks Poison, Stormlash, and dispel (all cornerstones of the Water endgame meta).

Susceptible to Bog

Bog lasts for an eternity but is completely resisted by several other top DPS picks. Getting bogged without Lowen support is especially crippling, as Nino can’t activate Dragondrive for the bog’s entire duration.

Dragon Recommendations

Gala Reborn Zephyr

Midgardsormr Zero

Vayu

Gala Reborn Zephyr is still the strongest DPS pick by far even without its powerful active skill.

Midgardsormr Zero provides a similar power boost on top of added bulk.

Vayu amplifies both of Nino’s damage skills with no strings attached.

Weapon Recommendations

Excalibur

Absolute Tempest

Chimeratech Cypress

Budget Option: Durandal

Wyrmprint Recommendations

Pair 1

The Queen of the Knife

Double Punisher loadout. If lacking either affliction, use the appropriate 5★ print (A Man Unchanging for Poison) and run Hastened Squall or Sniper’s Allure in the 4★ slot.

NOTE: Since Nino technically doesn’t shapeshift, Dragon Damage picks do not apply.
