Her Experiences
To be honest, Miss Nina's arrival at the Colossus is impossible to forget. First, a large procession from the Andersen family brought in mattresses of all sizes and different materials. The butler in the lead reminded me over and over again to let Nina try everything and find her favorite one. Then, countless boxes of all shapes and sizes were brought in that were apparently meant for her pets to live in! Honestly, I wasn't shocked by the sheer number of pets she had with her, but some of them were really special. Never mind the dogs and cats since they're common visitors on the Colossus, but she had pigs, lambs, and even ponies! My goodness... Fortunately, Miss Nina arrived shortly after and solved my conundrum by kicking everyone off the Colossus before expressing her apologies to %s and me. I also heard her mumbling complaints about her father. I guess even Miss Nina has her troubles!
—ViceHer Story (I)
Count Androma Andersen was born to the Andersen family of Lumopolis Gardens in Umbraton. As a collateral relative of the old earl, Androma earned his favor and approval with his vast knowledge and outstanding abilities. After the earl's death, Androma managed to make public the earl's will: "Assign key responsibilities exclusively to Androma among all the descendants of the family." Thereafter, Count Androma Andersen took it as his duty to grow the Andersen family's power and influence. This involved stepping away from the grey market and investing in emerging businesses; expanding the family's social circle to include talents who were mere commoners; and establishing an extensive information network...
What's with the lethargic look on your face? Didn't you ask me to introduce myself? How could you be drowsy already before I've read my own chapter? My part is coming soon! Hey, %s!Her Story (II)
Before you, I never met anyone who hadn't heard of Nina Andersen. I don't mind it at all. Uncle Istvan often suggests that I should leave the shelter of my father's wings, travel around, and interact with people from all walks of life... Ah, you're curious about my family's relationship with Uncle Istvan? Well, as much as I'd love to tell you more, I really don't know much. Father told me there was a disagreement between him and his brothers over the Andersen family's businesses many years ago. Many things happened after, and one by one those uncles miraculously changed their minds. Uncle Istvan and my father have been business partners since. You're confused? I-I can't help it, since I was just a baby then!
Her Story (III)
Before the Darkover Crisis, I had never experienced any loss before.
I guess this isn't your first time hearing a story about that fateful night. The fast-spinning wheels of the vehicle that carries us whilst we were on the run, the Lumo guards trying to block us off, my father staying behind in Umbraton to defend our family businesses, and my mother who passed away shortly after our arrival... The amalgation of these things make up my memory of that night... It was my first time finding the color white revolting.
%s, don't give me that look. I'm not the kind of person who spends her entire life brooding over sorrows... at least not anymore.
Many years later, Uncle Istvan invited Father back to Umbraton to redevelop the city. Father asked for my opinion. Of course, I chose Umbraton over Lumopolis.Her Story (IV)
You're also interested in my business? Since you asked to sincerely, I'm feeling charitable enough to give you a brief introduction.
All my shops are at the best locations in Umbraton. I have a jewelry store, a boutique, and a weapons shop! All my products are handmade to measure. Hmm! The number of my shops is definitely higher than hers. Bethel? Did I say Bethel? Why do people keep bringing up her name before me? I'm tired of competing with her!
Besides opening up new branches, I'm constantly trying new designs. Check out this one, Nina's Secret Trove! You see how it looks like just your average umbrella? In fact, it allows me to change between different fighting styles. Huh? You once saw a teddy bear fall out of the umbrella? Shh! I'm still working on this feature. Some small flaws are totally understandable. %s, don't you tell anyone! This is a secret between you and me!Navigator, don't hesitate to ask if you need any help with developing Cloud Gardens.
Ah! I hate this!
Navigator, you better come to see me now.
Is this the Colossus? Something new for me!
I'm upset now...
Heheh! I've got so many ideas lately!
Ah! It's morning tea break again!
Good day.
Take a guess! What did I have for lunch today?
Have you had lunch yet?
Phew... So very hot at noon.
I've been having trouble sleeping lately.
Good evening.

Class
Detonator (A)
Sniper (A)
(S+ and A at BT3)
Overall
S-
(S+ at BT3)
Advantages
+At BT3: Great scaling on active regardless of enemy size
+2 Cluster chain range and conditional diagonals alongside her already high active damage values
+High trash clear potential with low cooldown AoE active and a conditional Sniper chain
+Notable synergy with Bethel's Frankels, especially on 1x1 tile enemies
+Less reliant on low cooldowns/preemptives than Bethel is in order to deal damage
Disadvantages
-Most of her Active damage is locked behind breakthroughs (specifically BT3)
-Parasol placement requires planning and understanding of how her active damage works in order to reach optimal damage results
-Confusing kit until you put in the time and practice to learn it
-Mistakes are punishing. You'll have either an increased cooldown when enemies walk over her Parasol, or be stuck with her sniper chain until you retrieve it
Explanation
Nina is the first Water DPS that has demanded dupes since… well, Sharona? Thankfully, TourDog was kind enough to give her a strong chain combo and conditional diagonals, which certainly take the sting away from the active damage you'll be missing at BT0. She’s a little bit worse than Sharona at this point, but that’s still more than enough for most of the game’s hardest content.
On the other hand, snagging a dupe for BT3 more or less puts her on par with Bethel. The main difference between the two is Bethel's superior 1x1 enemy performance versus Nina's 3x3 enemy performance, and arguably better trash clear potential. In short, she does hold up well against the current Water meta, but comes at a bit of a cost.
Nina also occasionally punishes mistakes with her parasol, which comes as an additional cost to her breakthrough dependency. Maximizing her active damage takes a lot of practice; it often feels pretty smooth, but you’ll still frequently make mistakes (sort of like with Frankel minions). Not everyone wants that extra layer of thinking about how to deal damage, and that’s okay!
It is, however, a very fun play-pattern if you enjoy using interactive units that reward proper forethought and map knowledge.
