Overview

Overview

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 force them into a mixup. 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, her zoning tools are very committal, leaving you very vulnerable on whiff. In order to play Nu-13, you'll need learn how to properly anticipate your opponent's movements and how to use your movement options to create space.

Pros

Cons

Exceptional zoning tools.
Strong Neutral game.
Strong mix-ups.
Act Parcer.
Can shoot 2B or j.5B to clash with some Distortions.
Most combos end in a knockdown, leading to a strong Okizeme game.
Can convert any hit into a full combo from any range.

Limited offense up close due to the “B” button having a minimum range.
Struggles to deal with heavy pressure.
Lowest HP in the game at 16k.
No fast options to mash out of pressure.
Very situational meterless launcher combos.
Has to work for her damage and has lengthy combos, allowing a longer window to Burst out.

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.

Nu's close range anti-air A grounded attack that hits the opponent out of the air, best used to stop IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump. Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump.s in Footsies A complicated, often nebulous term that refers to the battle for controlling the space in front of you, often by using good pokes. In essence, you are trying to get to a range you like, while trying to deny your opponent getting to a range that they like. How you do this varies wildly based on the game, but it often involves using long range attacks to pester your opponent as they are trying to walk around. This dance of playing mind games with your feet is the source of the term's name. range thanks to its early head Invul Short for InvulnerabilityA state where a character cannot be hit. A common component of reversal moves..

However, its head invul ends on the first active frame and it has low vertical range for an anti-air making it lose certain jump-ins like Mitsuru's j.BGuardHighStartup11Recovery25Advantage-. So it's best used defensively rather than channelling other normals.

4A also serve as a good starter as on hit it leads to full combos and on block has almost every cancel option making it good for starting pressure To attack the opponent continuously and leave little room for counter attacks..

Cancels into throw and jump
If you input 5A after using 4A, you'll get 5AA instead.

Jump and throw cancelable
5A and 2A can be used a combined total of 3 times per string

The main branching point in your block string A series of multiple attacks that work well against a blocking opponent. Generally, a block string will be composed of several plus on block or cancelable attacks performed in quick sequence. When blocked, these will slowly push your character out of range and prevent the opponent from counter-attacking, which makes them a very good default, low-risk option when trying to apply offense. due to its cancel options making it good for going for mix-up To perform a maneuver that forces a defending opponent to choose between two or more options. If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw.s.

5AA can go into jumps, throws, your other normals, and Act ParcerGuardStartupRecovery41Advantage-. You can go for a high/low with 2A/j.C or try to set up a left/right with Act Parser.

If the opponent pushblocks 5AA itself, you can jump cancel to stay safe but if 5/4A get pushblock and you cancel into 5AA you'll be very unsafe.

Combo filler solo, a decent blockstrings when combined with an Active Switch, thanks to its long duration.

5AAA helps push the opponent far enough in combos to use B normals but has long recovery like 5AAand can't be jump cancelled (so you can't bait burst).

Since 5AA>5AAA has a gap in it, with an Active switch, you can get a decent left/right mixup with great reward for the partner.

5AAAA should only be used for Cross Raid as 5AAA combos into 5B always lead into better damage and oki.

Your main zoning The act of denying the opponent the ability to approach, jump, or other movement options. tool and poke An attack that's thrown out to occupy the space in front of you and remind your opponent not to try and come closer. Usually, this is a far-reaching and safe normal move with little risk. thanks to its balance of range and speed.

5B covers most of the ground and can lead to combos on hit and can lead to mixups with Act Parcer. This makes it great for stopping opponents running at you and for punishing things from afar. But as with all of Nu's B normals, it has long recovery so try not to whiff An attack that completely misses the opponent, such as when the opponent is out of range of the attack. or spam it.

5B has a dead zone like her other B normals which can make it awkward to use it in blockstrings. A consistent blockstring is 2A 5AA 2A 5B .

Travels nearly fullscreen but against some characters like Tank it will connect even from fullscreen.

xBB - xBBBBB

When you use 5B,2B or 4B after the initial sword pressing B will make them all go into this auto combo so we're going over it here.

Most of the time they serve as combo filler but the actual conversations depend on distance, height and resources.

You can use 236C or 236B + assist to convert from nearly fullscreen for the former and fullscreen for the latter. You can jump cancel into j.5B and go from there depending on height. 5B is a poor starter so the damage you get won't be great but it's better than nothing.

The 3rd sword pushes away and the 4th vacuums but if you input the 3rd hit as xBB2B the 3rd hit will vacuum and the 4th will push away. The final hit tracks the opponent and knocks down leaving you in a good position for more zoning and sometimes it's the only way of getting oki.

All hits including the initial sword but excluding the final can be cancelled into Act Parcer.

Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump.s from far away and airborne opponents at angles that 2B would fail.

Slower characters like Waldstein can be reliant on air dashes to quickly cover distance in neutral When neither player is in an advantageous position in terms of stage position. which makes 4B important for stopping them.

Universal Overhead An attack that the opponent must block high.. Like the most Blazblue and Persona characters, it's decently fast but is punishable on block. It has better range than most of them though.

5C is mainly used as a combo ender as it leads to safejumps. It's also a servicable mixup option when your too close for TK j.C

Nu-13 is among the rarest characters in the game to be capable of (true) comboing into 5C, but the routes are limited to:

5A 5AA 5AAA 5C (optimal) or 5A 2A 5A 5AA 5AAA 5C.

If not at all, then use this sparingly since there are a multitude of better ways to deal unburstable damage. This being an unorthodox, meter pay-out method.

If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw.s.

2A has the same startup as 5A but has more range and faster recovery making it better for starting pressure. Just remember that depending on your distance 5A might whiff when done after 2A.

It serves as decent meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. on the opponent wake up The state and animation a character goes through when they rise from being knocked down.

Another anti-air as its amazing range lets you catch opponents even if they super/double jumping.

2B can usually be converted into a full combo by jump cancelling into j.5B. However, if the opponent is very high and very far when 2B lands, you may have no choice but to do the full autocombo to get oki.

A great air-to-air A jumping attack that hits the opponent out of the air and sadly your best air-to-ground due to its good horizontal and bad vertical range.

Its disjointed hitbox A particular type of hitbox that has no nearby associated hurtbox, enabling attacks to have certain areas that cannot be hit by an opponent's attacks in return. and many active frames make it strong at controlling air space and protecting yourself when retreating like after an instant air back dash. It also has a hitbox behind her on the later active frames so you can crossup Attacking your opponent after changing which horizontal side you are on, typically by jumping over them..

j.A is the only air attack Nu has that doesn't stop her momentum which makes it jump in she really has. It also has long recovery making it bad on whiff unless you land with it and low hitstun which can make combos harder.

j.AA sees little use as it's hitbox A general term showing where an attack can hit the opponent and where the character is vulnerable to attack. isn't as large as j.A so it can whiff if you're not close enough, j.5B is more consistent and leads to better damage and oki.

Fires a sword down at an angle. j.B is useful for catching an opponent who is dashing in at you as you're trying to retreat. Like all Nu-13's drive normals, there is a dead zone in front of her where the move has no hitbox.

The final hit knocks the opponent away on hit. jC is the usual combo ender as it does more damage and is super cancellable, but jBBBBB may be used instead if the opponent is too far away for jC to connect, or if you prefer to sacrifice damage to send the opponent further away from you.

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.

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.

236A

This version is used to end both combos and pressure since it knockdown and sends the opponent away from you for more zoning. It can also be used for sandwiches. If Nu is far from the opponent but her partner is on the other side (like with Chie 6P) you can do a left/right mix by active switching to them.

236B

Nu summons the sword farther away and it comes towards her. This makes it hit opponents farther away faster making it a better combo ending at long range. When combined with an assist, this move lets you get combos from fullscreen B normals.

It can also be used for oki in the corner as Nu can be up to +20 on block and it goes behind her, letting it catch opponents that tech past her.

Spikes stop appearing if it collides with a persona.

214B

This version is used for neutral and zoning. If you manage to get it out,it will cover the entire ground forcing your opponent to either block(which makes Nu very plus) or jump. As such, both Nu and her partner can use it as cover while you approach or cover the ground while you cover the air.

This move is a death sentence when done solo as the opponent can just run and hit you or use a fullscreen attack. Its true potential is with an assist. You can use them to cover you or swap to them as Nu does the attack.

Teleports Nu-13 a set distance forward

The distance Nu teleports is always the same, so depending on how close you were when you started, you may end up close to the opponent, far away from them, on the other side or on the same side. Experiment with cancels into Act Parcer in training mode to get a sense of the spacing.

When combined with an assist, cancels into Act Parcer can be useful for mixups. It can be used to set up left/right mixups by having the assist hit just before or just after Nu switches sides, or simply to safely get close enough for a high/low mixup with jC or 2A/2C.

Note that all cancels into this version of Act Parcer are negative on block, so without the aid of an assist Nu can't use Act Parcer to get a guaranteed mixup (although sometimes you can catch people sleeping and cancel a random 5B into Act Parcer then throw). The one exception to this is an anti air normal (usually 2B or its followups) cancelled into forward Act Parcer; in this scenario, even though the opponent recovers before you, they may not be able to land and press a fast grounded normal faster than Nu-13 can press 5A.

Teleports Nu-13 a set distance backwards
Puts Nu in the air

Since Nu is airborne after this move, she can follow it up with air moves such as j.B. Note that there is no true blockstring into backwards Act Parcer into any normal, so be careful of characters who can use a reversal to punish the gap in blockstun.

The air versions teleports Nu-13 set distance forwards/backwards

This counts as Nu-13's air action, so it cannot be performed if she has already done a double jump or air dash.

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.

Identical frame data to 236B.

Tracks to the opponent's location
If the opponent is hit by Nu's hitbox while placing the field, they'll float in the Gravity Seed, allowing you to extend or pick up a combo

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.

Can be used to enhance Nu's zoing as it makes it harder to dodge as well to stabilize combos due to less knockback.

Legacy Edge is a great multi-purpose tool just like Sickle Storm.

Legacy Edge is mainly used during Resonance Blaze to deal massive chip damage. Outside of Resonance, there are no true blockstrings into Legacy Edge, but in Resonance you can cancel any version of Sickle Storm to Legacy Egde which IS a true blockstring. This lets Nu get 30-100% of your opponent's health through chip depending on your Resonance level and how many Legacy Edges you can do. This gives Nu great comeback potential and is the reason you would want Nu as an anchor.

Outside of that, it's great for lockdown as Nu can do multiple high/low mixups. You can swap to your partner after the super flash and let them use it. In terms of combos, this move is only used for the corner carry as 236C is better for damage.

Finally, Legacy Edge doesn't have invincibility for all of the startup but it does have some letting go through projectile attacks like Jin, Es and Blake Touga supers so you can use it for anti-zoning.

Legitimately a pretty good reversal for Nu. However, because her DP and frame 9 normals are so bad for defense, that means this reversal is fairly predictable. You really have to be reserved when considering this against any opponent whose offense is even partially careful.

Outside of that, it's also used to end combos. The damage is pretty good but the oki you get afterwards is poor so it's best used when it will kill the opponent and will leave them on death door. On top of that, its short duration makes it poor for using Distortion Drive Duo, especially for cross combos you might have to switch to your partner and have them use their super first.

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.

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.
