How to Beat Nuwa

Weak Against Fire Bring Force Dampeners The battle Ends If Her HP Drops Below 50%

Weak Against Fire

Nuwa is weak to Fire attacks. Summon Aitvaras and Jack-o'-Lantern through fusion to exploit this weakness with their powerful Fire attacks and gain extra turns per round.

Don't forget to use a Magatsuhi skill when the gauge is full at the beginning of your turn to increase your damage output.

Bring Force Dampeners

Use a Force Dampener when Nuwa starts gathering Magatsuhi as it will use Sacrifice of Clay next turn. The item blocks one Force skill for all allies, making Nuwa end her turn immediately after the attack.

Fuse Sudama's affinity to Nahobino

You can also fuse Sudama's essence to Nahobino and inherit its affinities to gain resistance to Force attacks. This is entirely optional so you can stick to using Force Dampeners if you don't have the required essence or don't like Sudama's affinities.

Battle Ends at 50% Health

Don't worry about Nuwa's large health pool as the battle will end once you cut her health bar in half. Make sure to go all out and not drag the battle during the early rounds as Nuwa can dish out heavy damage with her attacks.

Best Demons to Use Against Nuwa

Demons with Fire skills

Nuwa's only weakness is Fire. Make sure to bring demons with Fire attacks to gain additional turns during the fight. Summon Aitvaras and Jack-o'-Lantern through fusion to fill the damage dealer roles in your team.

Shiisaa as Support

Shiisaa resists both Electric and Force attacks which makes it a great choice for a tank/support role. Summon it through fusion and inherit Recovery and Support skills.
