Anjo NalaBuild and Guide

Anjo Nala is a 6-star Arcanist of the Beast Afflatus. She excels at... pretty much everything, providing ample Support, casting a huge amount of FUAs, applying very consistent CC and also dealing large amounts of personal damage. There's two gimmicks in her kit. The first is her [Contract], which she applies to a target ally at the beginning of the stage. Depending on the ally's Afflatus, they and Anjo Nala receive varying stat bonuses and when the bound ally casts an Incantation, Anjo Nala activates one of several effects (ST FUA, Moxie Gen, Mass FUA). The bound ally cannot gain any Moxie, giving any they gain to Anjo instead, and her own max Moxie is increased to 12 (with 8 needed to generate her Ultimate).

The second gimmick is [Hymn], which is a 7 turn duration Channel that she activates with "Twin Phantoms" Incantation. All her Incantations reduce the duration of this Channel, and when it ends, she casts "Angel's Temptation", which is a powerful Mass attack that usually inflicts [Titillated] (stacking debuff, steals ATK from carrier). However, if its cast through this Channel, it inflicts [Captivated] (hard CC, Titillated transforms into Captivated when stacked) instead. It is also the Mass FUA that Anjo casts when bound to a Mineral/Star character, though this FUA inflicts [Titillated].

Her kit itself is quite simple. The "Feast of Lust" Incantation is a single target attack that inflicts stacks of [Titillated] and deals additional damage based on the different kinds of [Neg Status]es on the target. This is also the ST FUA that Anjo casts when bound to a Spirit/Intelligence character. Then there's [Twin Phantoms], which activates the [Hymn] channel or reduces its duration considerably if she is already in the Channel.

Her Ultimate is interesting. First, she enters herself and her bound ally into a Channel. Then, at the end of the turn, the bound ally is forced to use their Ultimate, after which she uses her own. "Interwoven Dreams" is a powerful Mass attack that inflicts several random [Neg Status]es, with its damage scaling with the amount of different [Neg Statuses] on her targets.

Gameplay Anjo Nala has two very different (not) playstyles: Support/Nuke and Nuke/Nuke.

She can be played as a more generic FUA/CC based Support for units like 37, Fatutu and Lucy. Here, she provides consistent FUAs, filling the gaps in certain kits (37 requiring a lot of FUAs/Actions and Lucy having lacking ST DMG) while providing stat boosts for the Main Carry. The most interesting pick here is 37, especially if you have Portraits on her, as the combo of "Angel's Temptation" and "Supplementary Formula" casts can cycle permanent [Captivated] CC against non-resistant enemies.

The other playstyle is a bit more niche but still has value, especially for new players. Due to her True Limited privilege, Anjo Nala's numbers are extraordinarily high, which allows her to act as Main Carry for a majority of the game. There's also interesting combos with Shamane (Euphoria), Flutterpage and Eternity (Euphoria)/Semmelweis. With Shamane she can set up 1-turn Ultimate cycles, with Flutterpage she can imitate her 37 combo and HP Loss teams can use Anjo as a Carry.

Generally for high-end players, Main Carry Anjo Nala isn't very appealing, as they'll have access to Windsong, Lucy (and later Willow, Barcarola, Lilya Euphoria). However, Anjo Nala can fill a lot of holes in a new player's roster. She's generally usable in most teams, as of writing this her weakest [Contract] is definitely the Beast/Plant one (though even that has its combos).
