After joining as a level 30 Rogue, move into level 35 Shido and level 45 Swordmaster; beginner Hunter and intermediate Myrmidon are early training suggestions on the original page, so those stages are not revisited as formal leveling steps once passed.
Rogue into Sniper to train bows; Shadow Seeker retains both swords and bows, making it easier to target effective or super-effective weaknesses and trigger Har Hali Wisdom and Precision Strike.
Switch to Forest Knight at the advanced tier, using swords and bows on horseback; a bond 5 Ferghanan Horse improves Str、DefandDef growth, retaining the mounted archer role.
Nuzzuo's high-Speed sword build and effective weapons
Nuzzuo suits a sword build that uses high Strength and Speed for follow-up attacks. His main route is 
Hunter, 
Myrmidon, 
Shido, and 
Swordmaster, followed by 
The Calamity as his Divine class. Effective weapons also let him activate Har Hali Wisdom, but his Defense and Resistance are both low. Choose his targets carefully to reduce the hits he takes while standing among enemies.
The sword route reaches its endpoint in the Promised One's story
The Beginner recommendation is Hunter at level 5, Renown 1, and Sword or Bow D, mastering 
Hunting Basics. The intermediate recommendation is Myrmidon at level 20, Renown 4, and Sword C, mastering 
DexRavaging Arts. These connect his sword/bow strengths to sword training. He actually joins as a level 30 Rogue, so continue Rogue → level 35 Shido → level 45 Swordmaster without returning to Beginner or intermediate classes. Hunter and Myrmidon describe early training directions; obtaining their masteries still requires filling class experience separately.
For the advanced stage, Shido is recommended at level 35 and Renown 8, requiring Sword B; mastering it grants 
Ever Vigilant. For the master stage, Swordmaster is recommended at level 45 and Sword A. Swordmaster's Speed growth modifier of +20 further uses his personal strengths of 50% Strength and 55% Speed growth. It only unlocks in the third division of the Promised One's story, so continue using Shido before then. Its mastery reward, 
Astra, attacks five times in a row, putting Strength to work through more hits.
Prepare 
Cleansing Blade for the Promised One's story as well. This sword nullifies the enemy's Underworld Boon, so Sword training is useful beyond ordinary physical damage in Part 1. For a Divine class, advance into The Calamity, requiring either Sword S or Bow S, and master it for 
Divine Will. This qualification also requires a Divine item and an available slot. Until you obtain it, you can continue fighting as a Swordmaster.
A Ferghanan Horse adds positioning options for swords and bows
On Cai's route, you can change the advanced stage to 
Forest Knight and use a Ferghanan Horse for mounted archery. Forest Knight lets him use the swords and bows he excels with while on horseback. At bond level 5 with his Ferghanan Horse, he gains Strength +2, Defense +2, and Defense growth +10%, shoring up his naturally weak Defense. This branch shifts investment from pure sword infantry toward mounted combat, and can retain the mounted archer role afterward.
Capture unlocks in Chapter 5 of Cai's route, and at bond level 5 a mount grants a total growth bonus of 25%. If you have not encountered a rare specimen, you can start raising a wild individual of the same species, since the total growth bonus is the same. The mounted stat and growth benefits come from actually obtaining and raising a mount; passing the Forest Knight exam alone does not automatically grant them all.
Good Strength and Speed still require avoiding damage
Around level 40 at the end of Part 1, prioritize checking Strength, Speed, Dexterity, and HP. His 50% Strength growth supports damage per hit, 55% Speed supports follow-up attacks and Avoid, 45% Dexterity helps Hit and Critical, and 50% HP leaves room to survive a hit. Do not look only at Speed among these four stats: landing hits, dealing meaningful damage, and making follow-up attacks together produce his full offense.
It is acceptable for Magic, Luck, and Charm to fall below expectations. This physical build does not rely on Magic or Charm, while Luck mainly supports Critical and Dodge. His 20% Defense and 15% Resistance growth are harder to fix through natural growth alone, so take fewer counterattacks and avoid standing in front of too many enemies. If his Strength grows poorly on one route, you can later use Merge Causality with himself from another route, taking the higher value for each stat.
Effective weapons improve both damage and Hit
Har Hali Wisdom requires his attack to be effective or super-effective against the enemy, granting Attack +3 when the condition is met. His upgraded ability, Precision Strike+, grants Hit +20 under the same condition. Choosing the right weapon and target therefore brings out his personal strengths more than simply equipping the normal sword with the highest displayed stats. Sword, Bow, and Gauntlet are all strengths, and he has no proficiency weaknesses.
Grounder costs 3 durability, grants Might +3, and is effective against flying units, working with his personal ability. 
Destreza also costs 3 durability and grants Might +3, adding another 5 Attack and 10 Critical against enemies below half HP, making it suitable for finishing blows. 
Flash Blow costs 5 durability and grants Might +7. When attacking, it has a percentage chance equal to half his Dexterity to add 5 Attack; this extra bonus is not guaranteed. His basic bow options include 
Vital Shot, costing 2 durability with Might +4 and Critical +5. 
Surprise Shot targets full-HP enemies, with a 30% chance to grant Attack +5.
He can secure kills through Strength and Speed in Part 1, but he joins in Chapter 6 at the earliest, leaving less training time than early companions. In late Part 1 and the beginning of the Promised One's story, his low defenses make repeated counterattacks difficult to endure. His overall rating is A. His strength is choosing targets proactively to deal damage; his weaknesses are durability and recruitment timing.
Prepare three Iron Bows before recruitment
| Protagonist route | Earliest chapter | Support | Renown |
|---|---|---|---|
 Cai | Part 1, Chapter 6 | 2 | 6 |
 Dietrich | Part 1, Chapter 8 | 1 | 9 |
 Theodora | Part 1, Chapter 9 | 1 | 6 |
 Leda | Part 1, Chapter 8 | 3 | 9 |
Every route requires negotiation, and he joins after you hand over three 
Iron Bow. Check your inventory when preparing to recruit him, and buy any missing bows from the weapon shop or merchants so you are not short of negotiation items after reaching the Support and Renown thresholds.
Gifts center on tradition and weapons
He likes tradition, honor, and great strength. His three gift reaction tiers are below; do not treat Common Coffee and Select Coffee as producing the same reaction.

Site guides
Develop Nuzzuo from Rogue into Sniper, using Strength, Speed, and effective weapons to pick off targets. His defenses are thin; do not make him tank.
Nuzzuo has a strong Strength/Speed balance and adds Attack and Hit against targets vulnerable to effective damage. Bring several effective weapons; his level 35 Hit upgrade makes them more reliable. Being able to evade does not make him a regular frontliner.
Class progression by stage
Part 1: prepare effective weapons as Rogue
Do not return to Hunter merely to complete the class arrows. If he joins as a Rogue, keep developing Bow and switch swords/bows by target. Strength 50%, Speed 55%, and Dexterity 45% already provide an offensive foundation; extra Strength training is not mandatory for everyone.
- Prioritize Bow B for Sniper. Its requirements are level 35 and Renown 8. Bows find effective targets among fliers, giving a second archer a clear team role. Still check each target's forecast.
- Broaden effective coverage first. Use bows against fliers, Horsekiller Bow against cavalry, and Hunter's Bow against the corresponding beasts. For swords, prepare anti-cavalry weapons such as Zanbato. Check class access and enemy tags before use. Upgraded effective weapons matter more than carrying several ordinary bows.
- Another option: train stats as Charioteer on Cai's route. It requires level 20, Renown 4, Bow C, and Riding D; move to Forest Knight or Bow Knight when satisfied. Choose this if you have a mount and can afford extra training.
Part 2: Sniper or sword/bow cavalry
Stay an archer, prioritizing fliers and other effective targets. Once level 35, Renown 8, and Bow B are met, move into Sniper. Master Marksmanship, then equip Bow Hit +15.
Requires level 35, Renown 8, Sword or Bow B, and the route unlock. Use swords against ordinary targets and bows against wyverns. Armor can still be difficult; access to two weapon types does not counter everything.
Requires level 35, Renown 8, Bow B, and Riding D, using the mount you have developed. The mastery Hunter's Eye adds Attack only on bow follow-ups, not all bow attacks. The exact mount species, bond, and substitute individuals are not fully specified.
His thin defenses require staying within allied protection. Check whether distant enemies can counter your shots. Choose battalions and Boons for the current class.
Part 3: add Sword for more effective coverage
To retain sword and bow access, move into Shadow Seeker. It requires level 45 and Sword or Bow A and unlocks after Segment 1 of the Promised One's story. A pure archer needs separate Sword training before using swords. Sword-focused routes can also use Shido and Swordmaster with Cleansing Blade against the corresponding enemies. This adds different effective coverage from ordinary bows against fliers.
A longer option is Charioteer → Shido → Swordmaster → Bow Knight or Shadow Seeker. Build stats, obtain sword masteries, then return to a sword/bow role. Meet each unlock and exam requirement separately; Swordmaster must wait for Part 3. Swordmaster requires level 45, Sword A, and its unlock. Bow Knight requires level 45, Bow A, Riding D, and its unlock. Mastery takes additional time.
He can also work with Ursula to change charms for different targets on the spot. If Defense is insufficient, consider armor training while reserving time to return to sword/bow duties.
Bring effective weapons for the enemy types
Check enemy types before deployment and bring weapons that trigger effectiveness. An ordinary bow against ordinary ground enemies does not gain Har Hali Wisdom for free. The level 35 Hit upgrade also requires effectiveness. If a flying enemy already dies, extra Attack may be redundant and another attacker can handle it. More effective weapons let him change targets while keeping his personal bonus.
When closing in with a sword, prioritize targets he can kill before they counter. Try a double-strike art if he has learned it. Leave armor he cannot damage or ranged mages that can counter to teammates rather than gambling with his thin defenses.
Recruitment details
Cai's route requires Renown 6, Support 2 with Cai, and 3 Iron Bows. Dietrich requires 2 Iron Bows; check the selected route for other thresholds. Meet them early if you want him. See Nuzzuo recruitment.
Recheck effectiveness after changing targets
- Recheck effective tags for each new target. Extra Attack and Hit can disappear together.
- Check enemy range before firing from afar. Enemies can still counter if they reach you.
- Do not face entire groups with thin defenses. High Speed does not withstand repeated hits.
- An archer role already works. Take the longer Charioteer, sword-mastery, and mounted-archery route only with enough mounts, training, and time.

In place of the missing clan chief
After the chief disappears, Nuzzuo takes responsibility for leading the Hal-Hali tribe. He values tradition, honor, and powerfulStr, and also treats the Demon God Balor as a special object of worship.
Rejecting divine will for his peopleSpoilers
After the army of the dead appears, Nuzzuo leads his people away from pursuit. If their deaths, consumed souls and former companions killing each other are the death god's will, he believes he must reject that god, and abandons his former faith.
After the war: Solo endingSpoilers
In his solo ending, Nuzzuo volunteers to guard Balor's temple, remaining alone on the island to mourn the Demon God his people once worshipped. Like-minded Har Hari people later cross the sea and establish a settlement with him, living in self-discipline.
