Overview

Overview

Nier can summon the primal beast Death to fight alongside her in battle. When Death is present, her skills can be input ahead of time to play out in sequence at the cost of Love's Redemption. Death will become temporarily unusable when out of Love's Redemptions, but that won't stop this pair from posing a formidable threat.

Nier

Nier is a puppet character with great combo conversions and oppressive Okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups..

Pros

Cons

Stand Power: Death is one of the most oppressive entities in the game. With Death at her side, Nier gains access to some of the best pressure, mixups, damage, and reversal opportunities across the entire cast, which is only bolstered by her own solid set of normals.
Who Needs a Corner?: Nier can convert almost any hit (including from 66L, the best button in Granblue) into a full, high-damage combo anywhere on screen. She has liberal abilities to cash out, with her Skybound ArtGuardMidStartup9+7Recovery52Advantage-34 scaling better depending on how much she's used Death in a combo.
Hold This Mixup: Combos lead to meaty M Fatal WaltzGuardAllStartup52RecoveryTotal 58Advantage+86, giving Nier plenty of time to run whatever mix she wants and looping back into the same situation on hit.

Love's Redemption: Nier must moderate her resource usage in neutral and pressure to ensure she still has enough stocks left to combo with.

Unique Mechanic:

Love's Redemption and Death

Nier starts each round with 13 stacks of Love's Redemption. Using one of her special moves will summon Death to perform that move. If Death has not already been summoned, Death will stay out on the screen until recalled or after 10 seconds. Death will perform specials from her current location if she is in front of Nier, but will resummon herself to Nier's location if behind Nier. Nier can cancel special moves into another at the cost of 1 stack of Love's Redemption, provided that the Skill is not on cooldown (or equivalently, it is not used in the string Death performed before). Nier also loses 1 stack of Love's Redemption upon performing the H and U version of a move with the benefit of having very low cooldowns. While Death is performing special moves, Death can be hit which will make Death go on a short cooldown of about 4 seconds where Nier is unable to perform special moves.

When all stacks of Love's Redemption are used or after World of Death and LoveGuard-StartupRecovery9+11Advantage- runs out, Nier enters a long Summonless state for 1200F (20 seconds), where Death (and by extent, all of Nier's specials) cannot be used.

When Death has been summoned on the screen or during summonless state, Nier's normals have less range and/or less damage. Death can be forcefully returned to Nier using her 5U. These enhanced properties do not carry over during Nier's Summonless state.

Standard j.U travels about roundstart distance, and the direction held changes this distance by about a character's length either forwards or backwards. +25 when TK An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground.

Combo and blockstring tool, can be used as a frametrap, but is minus on block.

236M

Very slow startup, in exchange for being an incredible +86 on block. When used in knockdown scenarios, 236M allows Nier to go for and convert off of mixups.

236H

Can be used to reset pressure, slightly faster startup than 236L and offers plus frames.

Death appears for an upwards slash. Nier's reversal.

623L

Decent confirm tool and combo ender, and Nier's fastest non-H special. Has no super armor.

623M

Slow super armor attack. Can combo on counterhit, but the opponent needs to be point-blank with Nier.

623H

Fastest reversal without using Skybound Gauge. Retains the super armor from 623M but is more negative on block. Opponents can use a light button and dodge to avoid the hitbox, and throw the recovery. Super armor is attributed to Death, so far crossups and 623Hs performed while Death is in front of Nier may hit her without being absorbed by Death.

Ultimate Misfortune

623U or U+6S

DamageThe unscaled damage of the move. For skills, the simple input damage is displayed.	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupThe number of frames until the attack becomes active and can hit the opponent. The number shown is the first frame the move becomes active (also known as the impact frame).	ActiveThe number of frames where a hitbox is present and the opponent can be hit by the attack. Occurs after startup.	RecoveryThe number of frames following the active frames where the move has no hitbox, but the attacker cannot act freely. After recovery ends, the attacker enters a neutral state and can once again act freely.	On BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value assumes the opponent was hit with the first active frame of the attack. Throws list the amount of Frame Advantage upon successfully throwing the opponent.	On Hit	Invuln
1200, 0, 800	Mid	12	24	34	-25	HKD +41	1-15 Armor

Nier's metered reversal. Launches the opponent upwards and chains them, before following up with a downwards slash to send fullscreen. Nier is inactionable after this special connects. Unlike the non-metered versions of 623X, the opponent is not able to dodge after hitting the armor. It's also the only version that's air unblockable.

Behaves like a parry when hit into, beating even safejumps unlike 623H.

From 13 to 9 Hearts left: 4560dmg (1440x2, 1680).

As parry

It is a frame 1 parry super that parries strikes only (not projectiles, not throws). Once triggered, it cannot be avoided.

As strike

This move acts as a strike instead of a parry when performed during combos from a special cancelable move. Activating this SSBA this way also teleports Death directly to the opponent, meaning whiff punishes with a normal hit then triggering this move will never make it miss, thus making Nier having an extremely powerful whiff punish reward.
