• Nifl’s best option outside of Aether Raids is a typical player phase build, a role Nifl excels at thanks to her excellent offensive spread.
• Nifl’s weapon of choice is her exclusive Frostbite Breath, as the debuffs it inflicts on foes in addition to it’s Flash effect make Nifl a force to be reckoned with on Player Phase, as even if Nifl fails to KO her target, her allies can follow up on the now helpless foe(unless they have Null-C Disrupt).
• Offense boosting A slots such as Swift Sparrow and Atk/Spd Catch 4 greatly enhance Nifl’s Player Phase power and make her follow-up attacks incredibly difficult to avoid thanks to her great Speed.
• Lull Spd/Res further boosts Nifl’s offensive capabilities via it’s debuffs while negating the foe’s Speed and Resistance buffs, although Nifl’s innate Lull Atk/Spd can also be used if Lull Spd/Res is unavailable.
• Domain of Ice’s damage reduction makes Nifl much tankier as long as she has an ally within 2 spaces of her when attacking, although this can be difficult to achieve if her allies aren’t also cavalry.
• Finally, Offensive stat boosting sacred seals such as Blade Session and Atk/Spd Solo wrap up Nifl’s kit, giving her another big boost to her player phase offense.

Weapon: Frostbite Breath

Assist: No Assist

Special: Escheuteon / Sacred Cowl

Passive A: AR-D Def/Res / AR-D Spd/Res

Passive B: Windsweep / Lull Atk/Spd

Passive C: Domain of Ice / Preference

Sacred Seal: Def/Res Solo / Distant Def

• For the most part, Nifl functions as a straight upgrade to Kempf thanks to her superior personal weapon, statline, and color(Green superunits are becoming increasingly unappealing due to the prevalence of Legendary Sigurd), and even gaining a personal C slot which grants Nifl and her allies damage reduction and a bonus to Speed and Resistance.
• Nifl’s Frostbite Breath is a powerful weapon, having the effect of the Flash Staff and inflicting a massive stat debuff against foes as long as her HP is above 25%(Read: As long as Nifl exists) in addition to adaptive damage. This weapon alone makes Nifl extremely threatening to any superunit in Aether Raids that lacks Null C-Disrupt, and even the ones that have it will have a difficult time KO’ing Nifl in one round of combat without a means of performing automatic follow-up Attacks due to Frostbite Breath’s potent debuffs and her naturally high Speed, although her somewhat low base bulk hampers her survivability to some extent.
• AR-D Def/Res and AR-D Spd/Res are Nifl’s best option as they grant her a significant boost to her durability on Aether Raids Defense. AR-D Def/Res is preferable, but AR-D Spd/Res is workable on a budget.
• Windsweep gives Nifl a means of avoiding enemy counterattacks herself, allowing her to safely apply her weapon’s counterattack preventing status against foes that lack Null C-Disrupt. Nifl’s innate Lull Atk/Spd can also be used to boost her general survivability.
• Domain of Ice grants Nifl and her allies within 2 spaces a Speed and Resistance buff in combat as well as 30% damage reduction, greatly boosting their survivability, Although keep in mind that Nifl needs an ally within 2 spaces to gain this effect herself.
• Lastly, Defensive seals such as Def/Res Solo give Nifl some much needed extra bulk and make her even more difficult to KO before she can attack and apply her weapon’s effect.
