The 4-piece Woodpecker Electro set is recommended for Nekomata as it increases her CRIT Rate and boosts her ATK whenever she crits with her Basic Attacks, Dodge Counters, or EX Special Attacks. The bonus perfectly synergizes with her kit. The 2-piece Fanged Metal is also suggested since it provides some extra Physical DMG.

Equip her with the following main stat in the respective slot to deal more damage while inflicting Daze.

  • Crit Rate or Crit DMG- 4th slot
  • Physical DMG or ATK%- 5th slot
  • Energy Regen or ATK%- 6th slot

Nicole (Support) and Piper (Support) are Nekomata’s best teammates because of their synergy. 

Piper can boost Nekomata’s Physical DMG. Her quick Assault can trigger Nekomata’s extra Core Passive skill, which amplifies the damage of Nekomata’s next EX Special Attack, stacking two times. Nicole is a versatile support who can give the Cunning Hares Faction buff, decrease enemy DEF, and group them. Rina, Anby, and Lucy are also solid alternatives.
