However, it's more cost-effective to arrange all 2-piece sets in top slots for easy swapping between builds, even if stats aren't optimized.
LOW:
 |
Bladestorm |
|---|---|
| Unleashes a forward strike with light and heavy weapons, dealing a total of 220% / 440% / 660% Physical DMG based on the number of orbs pinged. Gains Super Armor during Bladestorm. |

Shieldbreaker |
|---|---|
| Automatically uses a 3-Ping version of this attack upon switch-in. Charges forward and unleashes a series of light attacks, dealing a total of 200% / 400% / 600% Physical DMG based on the number of orbs pinged and drags the enemy. Gains Super Armor during Shieldbreaker. Hitting an enemy with Yellow Orbs will inflict Weaken, reducing ATK by 60% for 12s. You can control the attack direction through the movement joystick. |

|---|---|
| Uses POD to unleash Mirage, dealing a total of 140% / 280% / 420% Physical DMG to surrounding enemies based on the number of orbs pinged. Gains Super Armor while casting this skill. |

Bladed Flurry |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack: Unleashes a series of forward light attacks, dealing a total of 840% Physical DMG. Upon evading, you will enter a Sprinting State. While sprinting, Basic Attacks release Sprint Attacks, dealing a total of 290% Physical DMG. |
 |
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. | |

 |
Executioner |
|---|---|

The way the NieR team is used depends on how much you've invested into each character.
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.
2B
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.
9S
Philip II x4 / 
Lantern Festival: Reunion x2 OR
