Nubia Moveset and Abilities

Ground Attacks

Nubia's ground attacks feature many moves that let her increase her damage to enemies or knock them high in the air. Her up attack is great for attempting a vertical ring out or just transitioning into air combos.

For a more defensive approach, you can use her down attack for edgeguarding or for ringing out enemies to the side of the stage.

Aerial Attacks

For Nubia's air combos, down attack is a very versatile move as you can use this on its own to ring enemies out through the bottom of the screen or as a started for your air combos. Her down special remains the same, allowing you to dash to an ally and protect your team from projectiles while in the air.

Passive Abilities

This character doesn't have any Passive Abilities.

★★★★☆ Staff Mastery	Nubia gains a sweetspot on the tip of her spear during normal attacks. On hit applies shocked.	This gives Nubia additional damage when timing her spear attack right.

Universal Perks

Team Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Press the Advantage	Your team applies a stack of weakened when knocking back enemies that are above 125 damage. If your teammate also selects this perk, weakened is applied above 110 damage instead.	Nubia has numerous moves that can push opponents away, making it a valuable perk for easily knocking out enemies once their damage hits the triple digits.

Strong Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Collateral Damage	Your team deals 1 additional damage when knocked back enemies collide with a wall or floor.	This adds to Nubia's damage during combos when using any of her moves that knock enemies back.
★★★☆☆ 2 Fast 2 Block	Your dash attacks break armor.	This lets Hunter's Charge be a more viable option when starting fights or combos.

Standard Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Pugilist	Your melee attacks deal increased damage	Since Nubia lacks any projectile attacks, this acts as a buff to her kit overall.
★★★★☆ Second Wind Beneath Your Wings	You refresh all air abilities after ringing out an enemy.	This works well with Nubia's attacks as she has plenty of moves that can ring out either horizontally or vertically even at lower damages.

List of Perks

Nubia Best Combos and Moves

Quick Combo

Side + Attack ► Up + Attack ► Aerial Side + Attack

This is a quick combo that uses Skyward Slash to knock an enemy in the air. When an enemy has high damage, this can potentially ring out at the side.

Down Attack to Air Combo

Aerial Down + Attack ► Up + Attack ► Aerial Up + Attack

This combo lets you start aerial combos as you can launch enemies up with Skyward Slash and keep them in the air with Skyward Volley. This can also ring out enemies vertically at higher damages.

How to Play Nubia

Use Neutral Special to Keep Opponents Close

Pull of Charybdis and Aerial Charybdis are great moves you can use to get close to your opponent, with the ground version knocking an enemy back and the aerial version acting as a more natural gap closer.

Constantly using this move lets you keep enemies at melee range, allowing for quick follow up combos from you or your ally.

Time Down Special for Combos

Royal Step/Hunter's Surge lets you dash to your ally and knock back any enemies in the vicinity. While this move is similar to Wonder Woman's down special, this is more suitable for aggressive plays as you can continue off the knock back into other combos.
