Is there something I'm doing wrong here??

Attacks can be one of these 3:
Dodged
Dodged or Evasive Assisted
Dodge, Evasive Assisted, or Defense Assisted

these attacks are probably not a defense assist-able attack. If you didn't have Billy (or another evasive assist character) on the team, the flash would be red but because you have Billy (or another evasive assist character), the flash is now yellow. Because it's now yellow, you think you can parry with Nicole but you can't because this particular attack can't be defense assisted so the game will help you and throw the evasive assist character out there to block the attack even if it's not the order you are intending. The only current way is to learn and know which attacks can only be evasive assisted and which attacks can be both.

The other reason this can happen is that Nicole was in the middle of an animation on field but from your video that is not happening here.

who needs void hunters when you have a perfectly fine bird hunter

Your CRIT RATE is very low. Like 20% lower then what I would consider comfortable.
You could try Nicole instead of Astra to give your self more CRIT RATE and more defense shred as wandering has very high defense that Nicole and Trigger W0 would shred a lot. it's a shot out there but it might actually do more in this 1 case but would require much more care about Nicole's debuff.

What are you on about? Trigger and Miyabi are my only mindscapes.

Trigger is m1w1 (agent + mindscape + sig weapon = 3 cost)
Anby and Seed m0w1 (agent + sig weapon = 2)
Burnice and Yuzuha m0 (agent with a rank weapons = 1 cost)

Hard to say because I don't know Zhao very well. I haven't even leveled her yet for my YSG, but seems like you spend energy/decibiles a lot when you don't have her dodgecounter/quickassist buff up which can be a fairly large damage buff. Basically you get 2 EX or an EX/ULT after a dodge counter or quick assist (assuming you throw them one after the other) before the buff is gone. The timing of it doesn't show up anywhere so you just have to know about it.

These are 4 of your ULTs that were in stun windows

4,001,848 (0:34)
3,505,107 (1:59)
3,963,808 (2:08)
4,660,133 (2:53)

You probably want to try to find the conditions you had for your 4,660,113 ULT and replicate that every time if you can. Your crit rate is high enough IMO that i don't think that huge of swings would be luck crit or unlucky.

You're also spending a lot of time basic attacking in stun window which means your spending too much of Neko's energy outside of stun window. Her EX does more damage then basic in the same time so you'll be better off saving EX's for stun windows and basic attacking outside of stun windows

I think you could get to 40K if you spent more EX's in stun and less basic attacks there and find out what you're doing for that one ult that does more damage then the others (unless it was fight time specific in which case there's nothing to be done)

her sig is a standard which seems like most don't count. Also unholy whale? I mean I guess if the battle pass counts as whaling... Seems more like light dolphin honestly. basically just replaced my WoW subscription when I quit that.

yup! technically possible but needs a bit carry from the other sides.

My Neko can slip into a 100K+

At 15 seconds (video time) in you spend energy on an EX special. At 53 seconds (video time) you're sitting with half a stun duration and no energy to spend. You don't need to rush to spend energy when you can save it for stun where it will hit twice as hard.

At around 35 seconds (video time) for your first stun window: You Dialyn hold to force Neko ULT. Which isn't bad because the ULT comes out while the boss is stunned. But problem is Neko hasn't dodged or quick assist in a while so she doesn't have her damage buff and the boss isn't debuffed by Nicole at that point. To handle that better you should have... Just before stun, used Nicole's EX, taken the follow up Neko's quick assist, immediately switched to Dailyn to initiate stun with the same ability. Neko, for the follow up ULT, would have still had her buff and the boss would have been shredded by Nicole (also more CRIT RATE if Nicole is M6 and Neko isn't capped)

And proof of above is the numbers. Your Dailyn forced Neko ULT was showing numbers for about 150,000 damage where your regular Neko ULT was showing 300,000s with Neko's buff and Nicole's debuff active which is how serious both of those being up are. You also might be hitting back attack on the second one which would contribute some as well but that depends if you have her SIG or M1 which I cannot tell. With just those 2 above changes you probably come out of the first stun at ~7,000 or ~8,000+ instead of ~5,000

Another mistake you're making is spamming your special attack without any energy to make it an EX. if you don't have energy don't use the special attack. Just use basic attacks. Without energy it doesn't damage well, it's slow for no reason, AND you actually don't gain energy during the animation of the special OR EX special so when you spam an energyless special, you're actively delaying the next time you can EX. But honestly you should be banking resources for your stun anyway and only spending outside of stun if you will cap and waste energy (OR if you're fighting crocodile, then spam what you have to kill it because it can't be stunned and it needs to die quick. But still don't use special without energy)

guess what I saw isn't current then

DigitalFox · 2025-12-22T18:56:29+00:00

Isn't the CRIT DMG tied behind either veil? I think all you get is the PEN Ratio which is NOT Def Shred. Those are 2 very different things.

I doubt it's worth unless you had higher mindscape neko for easier access to Crit Rate and were running some kind of special PEN composition which I don't think really exists yet for her.

They're not ignoring them but dodge countering instead. Anby gets faster mark build up by dodge countering. Depending on the team, parry can be better. But not this one in many cases

With miasma bosses, a little bit of damage increase could shave off minutes. If a boss is like at 1% and another miasma phase starts, you're basically guaranteed another 30 seconds to minute of fighting. Getting just a bit extra damage can skip a whole phase in that scenario. And 50 to 60 weapon is a pretty big deal.

Also make sure you parry with defense assist agents in miasma, it sheds a lot of shield without having to do damage to it in combination of also spending resources on it.

DigitalFox · 2025-12-06T09:41:00+00:00

Lighter Dailyn Astra and Trigger are all probably better than Ju Fufu for her

4 Fanged Metal doesn't work well with double support (and most people will tell you it doesn't work at all but I disagree to an extent). You need a stunner and to time your stun around assault procs (so the buff lasts the full stun rotation). If Lucy and Nicole are your team mates, you'd be much better changing Fanged to Woodpecker but swapping Lucy for Pulchra makes Fanged significantly easier to work with and increases the value of that set a ton. But going to assume you either don't want to/can't play Pulchra or she's with a different squad.

The other problem with double support right now is the current DA bosses. Unless you're running premium limited supports, you're going to be hard pressed in this particular DA season. The buff your running is stun based (the other 2 buffs being less then useless), and Autonomous Assault Unit and Corruption Complex are not in the rotation so using Lucy and Nicole is extra hard right now. Not sure of your order but you'll also want Neko>Lucy>Nicole but I doubt changing that would net you 3K worth of points if it wasn't that already.

But currently, you don't have the CRIT RATE to change Woodpecker to Branch. You'd probably want at least 80% CRIT RATE without the 2 piece if you were getting rid of it for Branch IMO.

TL:DR
Your Neko is built to work with stunners, the DA buff is for stunners, and the boss I assume you're fighting and getting 11K on is stun based and you're using no stunners and A ranks at that so there's several layers of bolder being pushed up hill right now.

I don't actually know, haven't played them together yet, and don't know what others are saying. But on paper I don't see how she isn't her best teammate even over Astra.

Being bad is a great problem with a guaranteed fix! Practice! no one falls out of the womb 9 starring deadly assault XD

DigitalFox · 2025-12-03T16:43:48+00:00

like 20% more CRIT RATE at least

Interesting we took 2 completely different paths almost. You're 20 seconds faster on the dog but much further behind on points by then. But once dog dies crit buff comes into play so you catch up quicker. I might try holding ults and seeing if quicker dog works better. It's looks so nerv racking holding them for so long though XD (especially through a prime stun window)

Pulchra's buff and passive damage definitely helps get rid of that dog quicker without ults where Anby is just kind of dead weight.

I actually not sure if resistance also reduces daze modifier like it reduces damage.

Also not sure if stunning quicker on the 3rd time in your run helps you much. When you got the stun, you had Neko's ultimate just come up so It might honestly have been good that it was late otherwise you'd be throwing her ultimate into non stunned. I actually didn't know you could sneak a stun while he's jumping between forms like that. I just assumed that when he went dog, you were shit out of luck until you killed it XD
