Assassin of the nightless castle or AON as we’ll refer to her from now on, sports a less than average set of base stats. With an attack stat barely even reaching 9000 damage, worsened by her class multiplier. Her attack stat is also horrendously low, lower than most of her fellow assassins. Her generation stats on the other hand are pretty respectable, with a decent NP gen stat on all of her cards, including her Buster cards. Her stargen isn’t the best despite her being able to quick chain with her NP. Even with her passive skill presence concealment giving her a slight boost in her stargen, she’s not able to match up with her fellow assassins.
Her skillset focuses on debuffing enemies and then hitting them with her NPs. She also supports fellow teammates who make use of Quick cards with her Quick buffs. Her skills have a decent cooldown, allowing her to keep up her buffs and debuffs for almost every turn.
Pros
Good team support on an assassin.
Her crit buff on her NP allows her to crit hard.
Cons
Weak base stats put her at a disadvantage.
Not enough stargen to support her own crit.
Her stats and class modifier work to make her damage output less than expected.
Strategies & Tips
AON enjoys being paired with servants who can also benefit from her Quick buffs on top of supplying her the stars she needs to be able to crit consistently. Her first skill should be used when shes is preparing to go on the aggressive, allowing her team to push out much more damage than before. Her second skill is situational, mostly allowing her to heal up in a pinch. Her other buffs are rng dependant, meaning that they should not be counted on. However, an attack or defense buff is appreciated at anytime. Her last skill should be used before her fellow Quick allies attack, allowing them to get a quick buff on top of getting a flat damage boost.
Noble Phantasm
Manual of accusation is a single target Quick NP which inflicts enemies hit by it with a poison which deals 1000 damage per turn. On overcharge it gives AON a boost to her critical hit damage, becoming an extremely potent tool to boost her damage. With her working hard to generate stars before critting, the extra crit damage helps her push out higher numbers despite her low stats and her class modifier.
Ishtar teams well with AON, being a fellow Quick focused servant. She provides a potent Quick and Buster buff, allowing both AON and herself increased damage on their identical decks. AON benefits from these effects, allowing her main damage source to be buffed while also buffing Ishtar in return for her NP and Quick cards.
Melt pairs well with AON, as Melt herself is lacking in damage buffs unless she has fired off her NP. AON serves as her support, providing both flat attack and Quick buffs, allowing Melt to make her damage more consistent and potent, making her a much bigger threat to enemies. Her Alter ego class also protects AON from casters.
Jack the ripper is the premiere stargenner, taking the load off of AON, making sure that she focuses on the damage side of her kit, allowing her to hit crits hard and often, ripping through bosses easily. AON also supports Jack in terms of her damage as Jack only has one damage buff. This pushes her damage against enemies even further than before, allowing her to really rip through female bosses.
Dangerous beast is an extremely fitting CE for AON, allowing her to worry less about her stargen due to its passive generation. This on top of bonus Quick damage helps her push out damage on her primary source of damage to enemies.
2030 is also a good way to ease her stargen worries, allowing her to focus more on outputting damage to enemies. This makes her less than pleasing stargen place less of a burden on the turn.
Wolves of mibu is a good CE to pair with AON, giving her a boost in her most dominant cards, being her Quick and Buster card. When limit broken, it also gives her 4 stars per turn, making it so that her stargen problems are eased slightly.
When equipped to Wu Zetian (Assassin) only, increase Quick Card effectiveness for all allies by 20% and decrease their DEF by 10% [Demerit] while on the field.

AON has a unique deck build, fielding a QQABB deck. She is able Quick chain with her NP, but her stargen is not able to assist her in terms of her stargen, leaving her lacking in that aspect. Her Buster, Arts and Extra cards all have good NP gen however, allowing her to fire off her NP easily against enemies.
