Overview

“Umu! Behold my talent and listen to the thunderous applause! Then praise me!”

The innocently selfish, supremely cheerful Emperor of Roses appears as a rose in full bloom, a self-styled artist ruling the battlefield from her golden theater. An Arts-based Saber, Nero Claudius boasts a multitude of methods lớn keep her majestic self alive, making her an ideal choice for last man standing situations.

Nero possesses a good survivability baseline, one built on a mixture of healing from Migraine and Imperial Privilege, as well as a chance-based defense buff on the latter. While these effects already enable her to lớn tank a lot more hits compared khổng lồ other Servants, Nero’s third skill, Invictus Spiritus, is what truly distinguishes her defensive aspect. The triple-use Guts buff provided by this skill guarantees Nero several không tính phí turns when she is alone on the field, a rare & extremely powerful defensive ability.

On the offensive side, though Nero’s NP gain stat is somewhat mediocre, her AoE Arts NP Laus St. Claudius và her 5-hit Extra thẻ allow her lớn use her NP slightly more often compared lớn other Sabers, especially once she gains acces lớn an NP charge post-Rank Up. This is a pretty considerable advantage, as Nero’s upgraded NP giao dịch decent AoE damage if under the influence of Imperial Privilege’s attack buff. Said NP also provides a one-turn defense debuff, increasing the party’s damage output for that turn.

Although Imperial Privilege is Nero’s most versatile skill, its chance-based nature is also her biggest weakness, as failing to lớn trigger either of the powerful buffs severely decreases her performance. This poses a problem as the rest of her kit does not improve her actual performance - at least until Migraine’s Rank Up into Goblet of Wealth. Despite her various survival skills, Nero also lacks a reliable way to block incoming damage, which can be detrimental outside of solo situations.

Armed with multiple survivability tools, Nero’s superb durability above all provides more strategic options for any Master, making some problematic quests far easier. However, Imperial Privilege’s random nature causes her performance khổng lồ be rather inconsistent, & those using her should prepare some backup methods to lớn overcome this potential problem… or perhaps, a tiny bit of help from the Goddess Fortuna.

Strengths

High Survivability

With two separate ways to lớn heal herself, a powerful 3-turn defense buff, as well as a triple Guts, Nero is easily one of the most durable Servants in the game. Pairing her with a defensive tư vấn would further improve her survival potential, opening up options such as defense buff stacking. Her Arts orientation also helps in this regard, allowing the team more Arts chains and, in turn, faster access khổng lồ defensive NPs.

Decent Offensive Presence

Despite having such a defensive kit, Nero’s relatively-spammable, upgraded, defense-ignoring NP và Imperial Privilege’s attack buff allow her lớn put out damage that matches more offensive Servants. This capability can be further improved with Goblet of Wealth, which adds an instant NP charge và a situational Arts Performance Up to lớn her repertoire.

Great Solo/Last Man Standing Potential

Aside from being able khổng lồ stay alive on her own for several turns, Nero also possesses the capability lớn recover a large part of her HP pool right afterwards through her two healing skills, making her one of the best choices lớn potentially solo Lancer stages. She also excels as the last member of a party, as the few extra turns she gets via her guts allows the team to deal higher damage overall - especially as she is guaranteed a Brave chain on each of those turns. After all, a single surviving Servant that has its guts trigger will end the enemy"s turn. 

Inconsistent Performance

Imperial Privilege’s chance-based buffs are the crux of Nero’s all-around competent performance, and failure lớn activate either of the two may throw a Master’s calculations off during crucial moments. As such, a Master using her should keep other options ready as backup, which can be accomplished through support Servants or Mystic Code choices. Alternatively, effects that improve the activation chance of Chance-based skills such as Ozymandias"s Protection of the Sun God can grant Masters the certainty they desire.

No Evasion or Invincibility

As Nero has no skill which completely mitigates damage, she may be required khổng lồ use Invictus Spiritus early to lớn keep herself alive. This is undesirable considering the skill’s long cooldown, và especially so outside of solo situations because she may be able lớn get ‘killed’ more than once in the process.

Among Nero’s skills, Imperial Privilege & Migraine benefit from being leveled, as the lower cooldowns would help her survive more consistently. On the other hand, leveling Invictus Spiritus is a rather bad investment despite it being her defining skill.

Migraine B/ Goblet of Wealth: Before its upgrade, Migraine acts as a complementary heal to lớn Imperial Privilege’s, allowing Nero khổng lồ recover even more HP in one turn. It also has a secondary effect of mental debuff resistance (affects Charm, Fear and Disorder), which can be occasionally useful. After this skill’s upgrade into Goblet of Wealth, it also provides an instant NP charge as well as a situational Arts Performance Up buff, greatly increasing its usefulness. This skill should be leveled after Imperial Privilege, và it is recommended lớn max it after its upgrade.

Imperial Privilege EX: With a 3-turn modifier as well as a whopping 44% maximum modifier on both attack và defense buffs, Imperial Privilege is easily Nero’s most powerful skill in terms of numbers. While the 60% proc chance somewhat hurts its consistency, it is on a fairly low cooldown, và it also contains a guaranteed heal which can help Nero survive in dire situations. Max this first.

Invictus Spiritus A: Invictus Spiritus’ recovers 600 of Nero’s HP when maxed, which is a very small upgrade from its initial 300. Additionally, it starts off with an obscenely long 12-turn base cooldown, and it is very unlikely lớn be used twice in the same fight even when maxed. As such, this skill’s level can be ignored unless the Master simply seeks to lớn completely max Nero out.
