If NC Cheren is for those who prioritize big damage, NC Bianca is for those who prioritize utility. It’s pretty much an NC Red vs. NC Blue situation – one isn’t better than the other, but if you’re looking for certain things in a unit, it’s easy to determine which one’s better suited for your needs.

As a Gauntlet enthusiast, NC Bianca is far and away the better unit to invest in. She is now the fifth unit ever to solo all 14 Legendary Arenas, and it’s pretty easy to see why – she has so much utility in her kit that makes her tailor-made to counter pretty much every LA gimmick ever.

Where she slightly lacks, though, is damage – even if she’s a Strike unit, she’s not gonna be reaching the big numbers that other dedicated damage-dealing units do, both with her regular moves and sync move. Her rebuff being single target and one-time use could also be limiting for some UBs.

All these clears except for the last one use 3-star Fighting Gear. Here’s how each battle went and the sync grids used:

Vs. Drasna: EX-R NC Bianca / EX NC Hop / EX-R NC Rosa – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=024401014501&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=18010909&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFHR8gIiMlKSwtLi8&v1=010201064000&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBgkMDQ8cHSAjJA&v2=010102064800&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDRARGhwdHiAhIyQ

NC Rosa is the obvious best partner for Bianca, as her AOE Fighting rebuff complements Bianca’s single-target one. NC Hop completes the team with Fighting Zone, though I’m not sure if this is the best composition the type can offer considering other powerhouses like Rei and SSA Cynthia also have great synergy.

Vs. Palmer: EX-R NC Bianca / EX Red / EX-R NC Rosa – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=000000014300&s0=4&l0=140&r0=6&p0=0&a0=15010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDhESFBUWGBobHSAjJSc&v1=010201064000&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFCgwPHiAjKCstLg&v2=010102064800&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010101&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFBggJCgsMDRMUFxkaJi4v

Of course. Red’s TM can give you leeway if you miss your instaqueues, but hitting them is still preferred for the extra damage. Palmer’s sync shouldn’t bring red to under 50% HP so that it won’t proc one of Red’s passives and you can instaqueue Bianca’s Sacred Sword.

Vs. Argenta: EX-R NC Bianca / EX-R NC Cheren / EX-R SS Morty – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=001401064100&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFBggKDRwdHikrLC0u&v1=010201064000&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBgkMDQ8cHSAjJA&v2=014802025001&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=24010301&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFExQXGhwfIiYoKi0

Between NC Bianca and NC Cheren, you have two uses of rebuffs, and setting them apart from many other users is how they can choose when to apply these rebuffs anytime in the fight. SS Morty might not have terrain but he’s still one of the best tanks for this stage.

Vs. Shauntal: EX-R NC Bianca / EX Hugh / EX Cheren – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=014700062600&s0=5&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=18040502&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkMDQ8RFBcYGx8oKw&v1=010201064000&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBgsMDQ8RFCgrLS4v&v2=001400050800&s2=5&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICw0OECYpKyw

Wanted to do some themed teams. Unovan rivals my beloved. With this update’s alts, Hugh is now the oldest playable rival to not have an alt, so I’m expecting Summer Hugh and Overqwil next month DeNA.

Vs. Flying-weak Marshal: EX-R NC Bianca / EX SC Diantha / Cobalion – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=015801064701&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgsNDhAVGCMlLi8&v1=010201064000&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBgkMDQ8cHSAjJA&v2=900000063800&s2=3&l2=150&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhESFRocHiEkJico

Funny how all the playable Swords of Justice so far are Fighting-type while all the playable Legendary Birds aren’t Flying-type. I probably should’ve picked a stage that doesn’t have Defense debuff immunity but eh.

Bonus clear: Tornadus solo – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/10201/64000?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=24011001&g=AAECAwQFBgkMDxAcHSAjJA&x=true

This was my first time using her, but other players uploaded all of her 14 solos within an hour of her release so lol. Included it here so the footage doesn’t go to waste. Her Flying weakness didn’t stop her from clearing this.
