Overview

Nu-13 (stylized as ν-No.13-) is BlazBlue's original zoner. She uses her Drive and specials for keepaway and mixups, even from a distance. On offense, although Nu's confirms deal below average damage, many of them are naturally Burst-safe. With specials like Gravity Seed and Luminous Slave, Nu also has solid options to reduce mobility and start setplay. Nu's Drive attacks have notable recovery, so she often has to make quick reactions and respond appropriately or risk a counter hit. Due to poor defensive options and low health, Nu must avoid dangerous situations with her movement options, such as her great backdash and unique command dash. Unfortunately, Nu must make large adjustments to her gameplan depending on the matchup due to unstable win conditions; even with this, however, she still sees use at high levels of play. Nu requires good understanding of matchups, defensive mechanics and neutral to use her tools to the fullest.

 Nu-13  Nu-13 is a zoner who reacts to her opponent's movement and controls space with her Drive.

Pros

Cons

• Screen Control: Nu's projectiles are fast, go full screen, have high/low mixup, and can track. This makes her neutral difficult for some characters to navigate through.
• Strong Anti-Airs: All of Nu's anti-airs have either great reward (6A), invulnerability (623C), or range (6D/2D) which makes her good at stopping aerial approaches.
• Fast: Nu's dash and backdash are faster than average which is nice for maneuvering in neutral. Act Parcer is also a near-instant 'teleport' dash for making quick escapes back to midscreen.
• Burst-Safe: Drive combos are Burst-safe allowing Nu to go for kills despite the opponent having it.

• Health: Nu is tied for the lowest health in the game. She can't take many hits and it's easy for the opponent to get a lifelead forcing her to play more risky.
• Poor Defense: Nu's only reversal requires OD and 50 meter making it situational and expensive. Her Counter Assault is easily low-profiled by crouch buttons too.
• Drive Recovery: Nu's projectiles leave her vulnerable on whiff due to their long recovery — Many characters can punish her on reaction to Drives once they have meter.
• Low Average Damage: Drive starters prorate heavily and don't have long combo time, so Nu needs to win more interactions than others to score rounds.
• Uneven Matchups: Nu's polarized toolset causes her to have some of the worst matchups in the game, particularly against very mobile characters.

Nu manifests sword-like projectiles which she can shoot at different angles with the D button. All Drive moves have a follow-up attack initiated by pressing D shortly after the attack connects. Unlike other characters, Nu can gatling her projectiles into other moves on block/hit including her special movement option Act Parcer.

Nu can perform up to three drives in one string, and drives can reverse beat with each other, so 5D.D > 4D.D > 2D.D and 5D.D > 4D.D > 5D.D are valid strings. This limit is only reset by jump cancels. This includes pre-jump, so it's possible to cancel the startup frames into a special to reset the limit without leaving the ground.

Air Drives have the same limit but this can be reset by j214D~C alongside jump cancelling.

Powers up her Drive with the following effects:

• All Drive moves, including their follow-ups, summon two swords instead of one.
• 4D's minimum distance requirement is removed.
• Drive Swords deal chip damage.
• Gravity Seed recharges faster.
• All versions of Sickle Storm can cancel into Act Parcer on hit, block or whiff.
• Crescent Saber groundbounces, has a larger hitbox and all versions can be canceled into Act Parcer on hit, block or whiff.
• Luminous Slave fires two swords instead of one.
• Legacy Edge lasts longer and fires more projectiles.
• Calamity Sword summons 4 swords in a line instead of just one.

As a result, all of Nu's Drive-related attacks become much stronger. See each move's section for details.

A button that's a nice starter, being incredibly disjointed and active, but in practice is mostly combo filler because of it's slow startup and lengthy recovery. You'll use this during IAD routes and corner combos.

Very susceptible to overdrive in pressure, don't use it very often in pressure scenarios.

A great button that's fast, disjointed, 0 on block, and has less recovery than her 2A. Nu's hurtbox also becomes pretty small so this can low-profile some pokes.

This is a staple in pressure because it can reverse beat with 6B and 6A, is safe from ODR, and has good frame advantage for stagger. The fast recovery makes this great for checking rolls on wakeup while being safe from slower reversals.

An Anti-Air normal. 2C is awkward to use as it's slow, the invul kicks in late and Nu's hurtbox rises before then. However, the range on this is better than 6A, and it can cover jumps-ins with delayed momentum like  Mu's j.CGuardHigh/AirStartup12Recovery18+4LAdvantage-/j.D> j.2C and  Azrael's j.BGuardHigh/AirStartup9Recovery12Advantage-/j.2CGuardAllStartup22Recovery10Advantage-.

It's your only jump-cancellable C normal so this is used for a safe pressure ender or retreating if blocked as an Anti-Air, although the opponent gets a crouch confirm if they ODR through this.

670	Mid	11	6	17	-6	B	5~11 H

Your main close range Anti-Air. 6A is fast and has early invul so it's good for using reactively. The low recovery makes it safe against baits and the gatlings allow you to jail opponents if they air block it. It's Nu's most rewarding Anti-Air by far, scoring 4k at midscreen.

6A is good for pressure as it reverse beats with 2B and goes into 5B which are both 0 on block making for nice stagger, and it can jump-cancel and go into other jump-cancellable normals so the opponent has to watch out for either TK. Crescent or more stagger/lows.

Great zoning tool since it goes nearly fullscreen. It's used to prevent the opponent running straight at Nu and to whiff punish things from fullscreen. It has long recovery, so setting up Gravity is recommended to make this safer on whiff.

Nu's only standing overhead. It tracks the opponent's location and appears behind them, but has a deadzone and can't be cancelled into from non-Drive normals. In the corner, 4D will become 'invisible' which makes it nasty if the opponent isn't looking at Nu's pose, but it is still reactable at 27f startup.

Be careful against characters with meter as 5D.D → 4D has a gap which makes it vulnerable against fullscreen supers like  Terumi's Gleaming FangGuardAllStartup4+(15 Flash)+8Recovery39Advantage-4.

A vital part of Nu's gameplan. Luminous Slave is a summon that has a delayed fire and tracks the opponent's location, it's used in Nu's neutral, okizeme, and mixups. In OD it fires two swords.

Luminous will not fire if Nu is hit or enters blockstun.

---

214D

The standard version. It has the quickest recovery and fires roughly after 1 second. It's reserved mostly for neutral instead of combos and okizeme. It's easy to convert on hit due to its long stun and on block Nu has enough advantage to start drive pressure.

---

214[D]

The charged version. It has the longest startup but is safe to setup after a 236D KD. It fires after 4 seconds have passed or the D button is pressed — this includes buffering it during other normals, Barrier Block, and Crush Trigger. This is very important for making Nu's mixups threatening as going into TK. Crescent now becomes plus on block, and comboable on hit for high damage. You can also do crossups and other things with this. The high blockstun also enables Nu to go for pressure resets without spending Gravity.

---

214D~C

The plink version. It fires immediately and is used for corner combos, the long stun let's Nu juggle opponents in the air while Gravity recharges.

• Act Parcer (in OD)

---

236D

The standard version, it travels quickly and is common in Nu's combos to juggle the opponent after 3C. It can be used in conjunction with 4D for mixups during drive pressure, and is comboable with gravity. It's pretty minus on block but this shouldn't matter when being used at long range.

---

236[D]

This is the charged version, it wallbounces and has a long amount of untech time, so this is used for corner and throw combos, it also sees use off some 6A routes. Nu's corner combos will end in this to safely setup a charged Luminous which is then used for her setplay. It is plus on block, but it's not safe to use this as a reset as the long startup means the opponent can always jump or reversal through it.

• Fatal Counter.

---

236D~C

This is the slowest version of Sickle Storm, but it appears from behind the opponent which can catch them off guard. It crumple stuns on ground hit and has a great vacuum effect on air hit, making this very easy to confirm.

Act Parcer is a series of command dashes. The 66 and 44 versions are different moves, but both can be cancelled into after:

• 6C.
• Any Drive normal.
• Gravity Seed.
• Sickle Storm (during OD).
• Crescent Saber (during OD).

---

X > 66

Nu's command dash. It's the fastest in the game and the recovery can be cancelled into any move making this very useful. Midscreen routes use this a lot as the carry is great ensuring most confirms will result in a Luminous corner setup.

It has a long window to pass through the opponent and Nu's hurtbox shrinks significantly, so she can use this for crossups or escaping back to neutral quickly after a Gravity summon or Drive.

• Low profile 4f-20f.

---

X > 44

Nu's command backdash. It's a back-jump with a short amount of invul, technically making it safer than an IABD. Nu can cancel into this after setting Gravity and then air dash back to make it difficult for the opponent to chase after her. She can also go into air drives to snipe the opponent now below her.

• Costs an air action.

---

j.X > 66 and j.X > 44

A lot more niche than the ground versions. These are similar to air dashes which can be done on block, they can be used in pressure with Luminous to set up some gimmicks, otherwise cancelling air drives into Crescent Feint is more commonly seen.

• Cost an air action.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.	On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.

• A, B, and C versions place field in front of Nu, at midscreen, and at fullscreen respectively.
• Staple move for pressure, combos and zoning
• Can be cancelled into from any normal or Drive on hit or block for pressure and zoning
• Can be cancelled into from any special on hit for easy mode combo confirms
• Cancels into any ground normal or special. This includes Act Parcer.

Creates a field to limit horizontal movement. Opponent's horizontal speed is reduced to 30% while in the field. This affects move that alter a character's speed, e.g Ragna's 214A. As such, the movement from that attack is also reduced. Gravity Seed allows Nu to reset Drive pressure while locking down the opponent's movement

One of the best Anti-Airs in the game. The range on this covers a large arc above, in front of, and behind Nu. The invul starts early and ends after the move is already active ensuring this will cleanly beat most jump-ins, particularly ones her 6A and 2C struggle against, it is much more unsafe on block than those two, however. The overall reward is less due to this being a short starter too.

This is a staple in Nu's combos as being able to cancel the landing recovery into Gravity seed makes this very useful for corner carries midscreen, and the untech time allows her to link into 6B for high damage corner confirms. The air version is considered a different move and so not affected by SMP, it's also throw invul which has niche uses like punishing  Bang's Ultra Technique:"Hyper Shadowstep Strike" / ShippugekiGuardThrowStartup19+(60 Flash)+3RecoveryGround: 28

• On activation, creates a portal in front of Nu, out of which a large number of swords emerge travelling horizontally at various heights, each one causing strong knockback and wallstick.
• Overdrive increases the number of swords spawned, thus increasing the overall time and advantage
• The projectiles go full screen, but the portal itself is created with a gap in front of Nu, leaving a dead zone where it won't hit.
• Massively plus on hit or block, with plenty of time to perform whatever mixup you want if they block
• Has lengthy invul on startup so it can be used as an anti-zoning tool.
• It wll invul through Body-Projectile attacks and Nine's normals.
• If it hits, you can dash towards the opponent to force them into the corner and end with a combo
• Can be used to cancel out other projectile supers such as Rachel's Tempest Dahlia or Tsubaki's Requiem Maledictus
• Minimum damage: 13*24 OD: 13*37

• Creates a projectile a small distance in front of Nu that strikes downwards and floor bounces.
• Overdrive version creates 4 such swords (With lower damage than the single one), each progressively further away than the last, and will combo into each other easily
• Looks like an overhead attack, but isn't.
• Main use is at the end of air combos to add damage (adds 1K minimum)
• Has a deadzone in front of Nu, shouldn't be used as a reversal. Overdrive version removes the deadzone.
• Minimum damage: 960 OD: 1288

• The only EA in the game that is projectile property.
• Unusually negative for an EA, but moves Nu backwards if there is space.
• Otherwise behaves the same as every other Exceed Accel.
• 288/606 Minimum Damage

Nu's Exceed Excel is quite unique compared to other characters. Rather than a close range attack, Nu fires a sword that travels almost fullscreen. Puts Nu in Active Flow if she hasn't already been in it. Has full invul but is not safe on block at point blank and cannot be rapid-canceled.

There is enough time afterwards to set a Gravity Seed or Luminous Slave before the opponent techs.

• A very short ranged hitgrab that's easy to combo into.
• If you have the space to do an Act Parcer combo, you can confirm into astral off of most grounded fullscreen hits.
• Pushes the opponent far on block, but this is reduced drastically if they Instant Block.
