Overview
"Who...are you? Enemy...?"
"Ragna...? Where are you Ragna...?"
Backstory
The 13th Boundary Interface Prime Field Device built by the NOL from a cloning procedure headed by Relius Clover. More commonly referred to as a Murakumo Unit, Nu-13 usually has a more robotic personality and accomplishes tasks in a mechanical fashion. On the other hand, when in the presence of Ragna the Bloodedge, Nu-13 becomes filled with emotion and obsessed with becoming one with Ragna. Nu-13 has inside her a core of the Black Beast. If she unites with Ragna, they'll fuse to become the Black Beast, which will bring catastrophe to the world once again.
Playstyle
Nu-13 is a zoning character. By using her Sword Summoner Drive, she excels at controlling space. She can attack her opponents from far away and is even able to combo them on hit at these distances or do blockstrings on block. The threat of her long range attacks allows her to control the pace of a match.
Although Nu-13 excels at attacking from long ranges and controlling space, she has very few tools in her arsenal for fighting an opponent up close. On top of this, although choosing the right tool to control space in a situation can greatly hinder an opponent's approach or punish it, choosing the wrong tool in a situation can leave you open for punishment. In order to play Nu-13, you'll need learn how to successfully create space between you and your opponent to use your long range tools and how to properly anticipate your opponent's movements.

Drive: Sword Summoner
Nu's drive allows her to summon swords from portals. These swords take many forms and can be used in many ways, allowing her to control space on the screen very effectively. Her old drive normals from the original BlazBlue series are now mapped to Nu's B buttons in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Further reaching low than 2A, but slower. Can be converted into a combo on hit using EX Sickle Storm, Legacy Edge, or an assist. This is also good to use for active change as it has high blockstun, allowing your second character to go for a mixup. If hit at tip will only hit once. |

When done as low to the ground as possible, this is a faster overhead than 5C. However an assist or an active change is necessary to convert into a full combo. Without the help of a second character, it is only possible to add more damage with a special cancel into A+D or a super cancel into 214B+C. |
j.2B
j.2B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fires downward at a steeper angle than j.B. This can be used in the same kinds of situations where j.B would be useful, but when the opponent is not at the right angle for j.B to hit. In particular, this is useful for meterless conversions off 5B, since on crouching opponents 5BBBB jump cancel j.B tends to whiff. On hit or block this can be chained into the jBBBBB series. |
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
Ground Throw 5B+C |

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Since Nu-13 has no normals faster than 9 frames, her 7 frame grab is the best option to use to poke out of frame trap pressure. |

Extra Skills
EX Sickle Storm
EX Sickle Storm 236C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Causes a wall bounce on hit, allowing solo conversions in situations where combo extensions without an assist would be difficult (such as off 5A or 5B starter). Note that 236C does not combo from a full screen 5B, as it takes too long to travel. |
EX Spike Chaser
EX Spike Chaser 214C |

Partner Skills

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
6P
6P Spike Chaser |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
This is Nu's only assist that can hit OTG, but if used to extend combos it must be called early due to the long startup. Pops the opponent straight up rather than knocking them away, which may be easier to convert off of than 5P for some characters. Like Noel's 6P assist, pushing the screen sideways will push Nu with it, allowing you to adjust where the swords come out even after pressing the button. |
4P
4P Gravity Seed |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Do not attempt to punish bursts with this assist, because the float effect is very inconsistent against bursts and may just not come out at all. Use 5P to punish bursts instead. |
Distortion Skills
Legacy Edge
Legacy Edge 236B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
It is possible to combo into this super using 2C. Combos using Legacy Edge don't do significantly more damage than combos using EX Sickle Storm, but they do have more corner carry. At high resonance levels this can deal extremely high chip damage, leading into a blockstring that builds more meter for another Legacy Edge. Outside of resonance there are no true blockstrings into Legacy Edge so the opponent can always input their own super post flash. In resonance, however, any version of Sickle Storm can be cancelled into Legacy Edge, which IS a true blockstring if input correctly. This allows the Nu-13 player to do true blockstrings using as many Legacy Edges as they can afford. There are also some characters, such as Waldstein, who simply have no answer to a long range 5B cancelled into Legacy Edge other than to block it. |
Calamity Sword
Calamity Sword 214B+C (air OK) |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag |

Distortion Skill Duo
Calamity Sword P during Main Character's Distortion Skill |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Calamity Sword has short recovery for a Distortion Skill Duo, so when combined with a super with long blockstun (such as Gordeau's Turbulence), Nu can recover before the opponent and go for a mixup while the opponent is still in blockstun from the first super. |
Astral Heat
Sword of Destruction 222B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Very short range. It is possible to combo into this astral off 2C or 2BBBB. Given the utility of resonance Legacy Edge, it is not advised to save meter for Nu-13's astral. |
