Nozomi’s a sturdy unit in battle — her primary role is to soak up damage, but not necessarily dish it out. Her primary attack should be Protean Spear to self-buff her DEF five times. Use Aegis or Aegis+ when you need to protect dying units, and heal if your Pride unit is high on MAD or too far away. Sweeping Shield is useful for repositioning enemies into better groups, allowing your teammates to get more damage out of their AoEs, as well.
