Nero is a Fire Nikke in the Defender class, manufactured by Tetra. Stats and skill text below come straight from the game's data.

Review & Analysis

Nero is a Fire SMG Defender from Tetra, a counter-attacking tank that pairs well with healer allies. Cat's Repayment automatically triggers whenever a recovery effect goes off, reducing Damage Taken for whoever got healed while stacking a Damage Taken reduction on Nero herself. Lil' Paw gives a random chance to counter-hit attackers, dealing especially heavy damage while in Grumpy Cat status, plus a permanent Max HP boost right from the start of battle. Her Burst, Grumpy Cat, taunts all enemies to protect the team while landing a very heavy hit on the highest-HP enemy, and also grants a big HP Potency boost once Cat's Repayment is fully stacked.
