Greater Nue大鵺

Health6,000

Attacks37

Placements3

Mikiri max145

A regular Nue made all the more ugly by Dokyo through the use of various unsavory additives. Its increased size brings with it a requisite increase in strength, and it's also able to command lightning with ease. It can make powerful use of its talons— another new addition to its arsenal— but catching these on your sword can open it up for a pummeling. Given its prodigious physical size, taking out individual body parts is the way to proceed here.

EntryGreater Nue

Unlocked byGenma Note: Greater Nue

道狂が鵺を参考に「素材」を利用して更なる強化を施した幻魔。巨大になったことで攻撃がより苛烈になり、雷も自在に扱うようになっている。鵺にはなかった爪による攻撃は強力だが、刀でさばけば体勢を崩す好機となる。強力な幻魔のため、体の部位を狙って破壊していくことが重要。
