Core
Blade Rend
Core Passive: Any 3-Ping after a Yellow 3-Ping grants 2B 160 Stability. 2B loses 20 pts. of Stability per second (re-triggering does not refresh the duration). While 2B has Stability, she enters Battle Stance, which causes Basic Attacks, Red Orbs, and Yellow Orbs to launch Swordwaves that deal 70% Physical DMG per hit. Blue Orbs will disrupt hits received. While in Battle Stance, any 2/3-Ping Red Orbs will add 1/2 stacks of Data Correction for 8s (max 3 stacks). Each stack grants 2% Physical DMG Bonus (If 9S and A2 are on your team, effect increases to 4%). Once 2B exits Battle Stance , all Data Correction stacks will be removed. Obtaining additional stacks or unleashing Signature Move will refresh the duration of Data Correction. While Signature Move is active, Stability will not decrease.

Team Composition
The way the NieR team is used depends on how much you've invested into each character.
Full Team Rotation
Either at high investment (all characters at SSS-Rank or above with 6★ weapons) or at low investment (all characters at S-Rank with 5★ weapons), this composition can be used. In this setup, each character will take turns swapping onto the field.
This is the composition you'll usually use when A2 is at SSS-Rank with her 6★ weapon and both 2B and 9S are at S-Rank with 5★ weapons. A2 will be on the field at all times.
