After the events in Calamity Trigger following her battle with Ragna the Bloodedge, she was thought to have perished in the Cauldron alone. Nu is later revived by her own will to fuse with Ragna in a form referred to by Hazama as the “Sword of Hades”; though she retains her appearence and personality from the previous games. She is re-tuned by Hazama to stand in Ragna’s way once again.

Weaknesses
|
- Strong zoning tools give her a solid neutral game
- Great backdash
- Luminous Slave is a multipurpose tool that can be used for setplay and zoning

|
- Low health
- Combos involving drive attacks don't last long thanks to increased drive proration
- Reliant on system mechanics to escape pressure
- Low Average Damage
- Zoning ability has severely decreased due to drive nerfs and the removal of Spike Chaser
- Needs match-up experience to know how to zone many characters and her gameplan is completely dependent on whichever character she is facing
