Overview

Global Release Date: ETA End of June/Early July 2021

Limited 

First Impressions:

The Demon King joins Gorgon as a Buster AoE Avenger, combining high base offense with a significant personal Attack Up steroid and Anti-Divine niche.

Nobunaga possesses some terrific hit counts, with okay base NP Gain to match. Any of Nobu's attacks under the influence of Star Generation buffs or Overkill have the potential to generate a significant sum of Critical Stars, especially if Demon King of the Sixth Heaven is active. In addition, despite a Buster gorilla deck, Nobu can fill their NP bar decently even with a mediocre Arts card, courtesy of the Avenger class passives, high defensive NP Gain and an up to 20% NP Charge on Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Finally, with an impressive Attack stat, access to 3 Buster Command Cards, a scaling up to 70% Attack steroid and an additional Special Attack Damage boost against Divine enemies on Nobu's NP, Nobu can put out some decent (AoE) damage.

But, The Demon King's on-demand damage is rather weak. It Can't Be Helped only supplies a 30% Attack Up on its first turn, and Divine enemies tend not to be common farming enemies outside of Lostbelt enemies. Nobu is also rather fragile despite access to an unremovable Invincibility, with extremely low base HP for their rarity and a powerful Burn effect on It Can't be helped, although Masters may be able to alleviate this somewhat via Supports, Command Codes or Mystic Code skills. Lastly, Nobu's Critical Potential is mainly in generating Critical Stars,yet Nobu has neither the Star Weight nor the Critical Damage to actually make use of them. 

Without access to class advantage very often, and some heavy competition from Dantes on Nobu's release, Nobu struggles to match the damage and farming potential of their peers. Overall, her kit feels rather mismatched with her capabilities too spread out to make good use of them. Yet, with an in-built 20% NP Charge to farm with and an Anti-Divine niche, Nobu can still find a place in various Buster teams.

As an offensive Avenger Servant Oda Nobunaga's skill leveling order is rather straightforward. Masters most of all have to make a trade-off between improving farming capability with Demon King of the Sixth Heaven or more damage via It Can't Be Helped. 

• It Can't Be Helped A- should be leveled first if Nobu is used as a general main damage Servant as it scales well with levels and more damage is ideal. It also sets the stage aflame, allowing Nobu's Summer counterpart to activate the Attack Up on her third skill. 
• As if in a Dream B can be leveled last, mainly for the cooldown reduction as that is helpful for longer duration fights after all. Note that enemies can still pierce Invincibility, just not remove it with buff removal (Amakusa's NP, etc.) at max rank.
• Demon King of the Sixth Heaven EX can be leveled first if Nobu is instead used more for farming as the NP Charge only reaches 20% at max level, but either way reducing its cooldown is quite useful for longer fights. The Critical Stars per Turn has rather poor scaling though. 

Craft Essence Recommendation

Kaleidoscope

The Imaginary Element

Aerial Drive

First Sunrise

Holy Night Supper

Victor of the Moon

Joint Recital

The Black Grail

Fortress of the Sun

Conversation on the Hot Sands

With such good base stats and only an Attack Up, Nobunaga scales well with an immense array of effects. For farming, Starting NP Gauge is king, especially Kaleidoscope for instant NP shenanigans. Meanwhile, Buster Performance Up and NP Damage Up scale well when it comes to improving Nobu's damage output.

Nobu's critical potential is salvageable depending on Nobu's support. Additional Critical Damage is essential for making sure Nobu's crits hurt, while both Star Generation (Nobu has high hit counts after all) and Star Gathering Up can help to access enough Critical Stars to crititcal with.
