Nue Houjuu

  • Features

Nue is a unique character that holds many tricky spells in her sleeve. She can summon UFOs and annoy enemies with spinning snakes. Her bullets are uniquely shaped and many attacks have special traits. Her Ex-spell allows her to vanish from the target status bar, hiding remaining health, equipped spellorbs and current tension. She´s also very fast, allowing her to avoid many attacks without too much trouble.

  • Ominous Beast Type

this is her non-UFO type. Featuring a nice balanced set of fast shots and more importantly - confusing shots. Her Snake Show features the curvy lasers, seen in TH12. Heian Dark Clouds also depends heavily on the timing and trickery.

  • Unidentified Type

or in short - the UFO type. Uses red UFOs for pretty straightforward attacks and green UFOs for homing lasers. Her normal shots feature spinning snakes and dividing lasers.
