Nangong's Signature outclasses every alternative in practically every metric. Because she converts Anomaly Mastery into Impact, its mainstat beats generic Impact% engines for Daze, the enormous Anomaly Proficiency lifts her own damage, and it adds a team-wide DMG% buff nobody else offers. Effectively always active and easy to use.

A natural fit: Nangong's EX Special is cheap and she gets one free cast during stun, so she exits stun with stacks already built. Anomaly teams spend plenty of time on-field, giving the Energy Regen room to work. Note that Coordinated Attacks with other Idols count as on-field, cutting its uptime on Idol teams.

The Simmering PotA

The go-to F2P option. Nangong's Assist Follow-Up carries some of the highest Daze multipliers in the game, so you use it constantly, and since she doubles as sub-DPS in Anomaly teams the engine's effect is both easy to proc and genuinely useful for her role.

Precious Fossilized CoreA

A strong craftable fallback with some of the highest Daze output available, but only against high-HP enemies. That makes it especially effective in low-scoring runs.

Ju Fufu's Signature is one of the better ways to reach stun breakpoints. Nangong's high Impact makes its multiplicative Daze bonus hit harder, and the ATK% mainstat keeps her damage respectable, so it's a steady premium pick balancing Daze and DPS.

Best Teams

Strengths

  • +Unique Anomaly Mastery → Impact conversion scales Daze and damage simultaneously from a single stat
  • +Assist Follow-Up has among the highest Daze multipliers in the game
  • +Team-wide DMG% buff from signature is unmatched by any alternative W-Engine
  • +Versatile pairing — top team partner for Aria, Miyabi, and Idol compositions

Weaknesses

  • Signature W-Engine is a very significant step above alternatives — the gap is larger than most characters
  • Hellfire Gears uptime is reduced on Idol teams due to Coordinated Attack on-field counting
  • Building both Anomaly Mastery (for Impact) and Anomaly Proficiency (for damage) creates stat competition
