Nangong's Signature outclasses every alternative in practically every metric. Because she converts Anomaly Mastery into Impact, its mainstat beats generic Impact% engines for Daze, the enormous Anomaly Proficiency lifts her own damage, and it adds a team-wide DMG% buff nobody else offers. Effectively always active and easy to use.

A natural fit: Nangong's EX Special is cheap and she gets one free cast during stun, so she exits stun with stacks already built. Anomaly teams spend plenty of time on-field, giving the Energy Regen room to work. Note that Coordinated Attacks with other Idols count as on-field, cutting its uptime on Idol teams.

The Simmering PotA
BudgetThe Simmering PotS5

The go-to F2P option. Nangong's Assist Follow-Up carries some of the highest Daze multipliers in the game, so you use it constantly, and since she doubles as sub-DPS in Anomaly teams the engine's effect is both easy to proc and genuinely useful for her role.

Precious Fossilized CoreA

A strong craftable fallback with some of the highest Daze output available, but only against high-HP enemies. That makes it especially effective in low-scoring runs.

Roaring Fur-naceS
AltRoaring Fur-naceS1

Ju Fufu's Signature is one of the better ways to reach stun breakpoints. Nangong's high Impact makes its multiplicative Daze bonus hit harder, and the ATK% mainstat keeps her damage respectable, so it's a steady premium pick balancing Daze and DPS.
