Rating7.5 / 10

Nobunaga’s skillset is rather unique for a Berserker, with her second skill greatly resembling Merlin’s Garden of Avalon. This makes her unique in that she is able to support her allies as well, and perform criticals more reliably . Additionally, she has a critical absorb built-in to her third skill and a Buster buff in her first skill. All this makes her go well with the popular Buster critical set ups.

Unfortunately, however, her skills’ percentages are notably low, especially that of her Buster skill. Her attack up also needs a burning map to proc, which makes it highly unreliable. These factors ultimately result in Nobunaga’s damage being highly dissatisfactory. Her second skill is also rather indecisive when not paired with other supporting effects.

Pros

  • Able to support other party members.
  • Possesses critical absorb and star generation.
  • Fairly survivable.
  • High hitcount Buster cards allow her to generate a decent amount of stars and NP from them.

Cons

  • Somewhat lower damage when not critting compared to other Berserkers.
  • Needs additional support to be effective.
  • Her third skill’s attack buff is highly situational.

Strategies & Tips

Nobunaga should be used alongside a dedicated supporting Servant, in order to make the most of her kit. She aims to perform high damaging critical brave chains, using her third skill to gather stars. Her second skill should be used as often as possible, as its benefits (in particular the NP gain) are not felt immediately.

Noble Phantasm

Nobunaga The Rock n’ Roll is a single target Buster-type damaging Noble Phantasm which deals increased damage against Divine enemies. Due to Nobunaga’s lower buff percentages, this NP usually deals unimpressive damage for a Berserker’s; against Divine enemies, the damage becomes considerable.

Best Servants to Work with

ServantExplanation
Merlin
Merlin
Combined with Garden of Avalon, Nobunaga’s second skill becomes much more effective. Additionally, Merlin’s kit works well with her critical set up, allowing Nobunaga to become a powerful critical damage dealer.
Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang
Nobunaga always appreciates instant NP gains, as her own is spread over five turns. Additionally, Zhuge’s critical buff complements her damage well.
Hans Christian Andersen
Andersen
Her second skill’s heal amplifies the effectiveness of Marchen Meines Lebens, and Hans’ critical-supporting kit also aids Nobunaga, especially the critical star generation and the critical damage buff.

Best CEs

CEExplanation
Limited/Zero Over
Limited/Zero Over
Buster Performance Up
These CEs patch Nobunaga’s low buff percentage and increase the amount of stars her Buster cards generate, allowing her to catch up to her competitors.
Kaleidoscope

Starting NP Gain
Kaleidscope, Golden Sumo ~Rocky Area~, etc
While her second skill grants a 15% NP generation over 5 turns, her overall NP gain is still too slow for faster-paced battles, meaning that she benefits greatly from these Craft Essences.
Victor from the Moon
Victor from the Moon
Combination (Buster/Critical Up)
An alternative to Buster performance CEs, these tend to have a slightly lower Buster percentage. They also have a critical damage buff, though Nobu’s critical absorb only having a duration of one turn decreases their effectiveness.

Star Generation
Though generally better used on a support Servant, this Craft Essence allows Nobunaga to perform her critical turns more reliably even without any other support.

Skills

Upgrade Priority

  • Fool’s Killing Method A

    Despite having an Evasion, this skill also functions as Nobunaga’s primary buffing skill due to the built-in Buster buff. Unfortunately, while the buff lasts for three turns, its percentage at 20% maximum is rather low. Still, being her most reliable buff and her Evasion skill, this skill should be leveled second, though Atsumori Beat may have higher precedence if Nobu is to be used in more specialized teams.

  • Atsumori Beat B

    This skill provides slight NP gauge and HP increase, as well as a good amount of critical stars every turn for five turns. Notable for being highly similar to Merlin’s Garden of Avalon; this skill’s numbers (except for the critical star generation) are rather low, meaning it won’t really be effective on its own without the help of other supporting abilities. It also has a notably long cooldown. This skill should normally be leveled last among her skills.

  • Beach Demon King of the Sixth Heaven A-

    Grants a critical absorption skill for one turn, and an attack up if the current map contains fire. Due to Berserkers’ low base critical weight, it is practically impossible for Nobunaga to perform criticals without the aid of this skill. As such, this skill should be leveled first of all if she is to be used in critical-focused teams.

Nobu’s Buster cards possess 6 hits - easily among the highest seen so far - allowing her to produce a decent amount of critical stars and even gain NP (provided she got an Arts first card bonus). As with most other Berserkers, her Quick and Arts cards gain a good amount of NP to compensate for the three Buster cards.

Discrepancy between drop rate and gather rate on her third skill. Fix?
Anonymous
Nobu would also benefit from CEs that buff her star absorption rate, especially if she's paired with a star-gen support servant. Vow of the Hot Sands comes to mind as a particularly good one for her.
