By fine-tuning the way you upgrade Nora’s skills and gear, you can save yourself quite some valuable and limited resources in the process and as not all skills have the same amount of impact but have the same amount of costs leveling up, fine-tuning them is worth it in the end.
Important! If you want to check how well Nora does in the current meta of all heroes in Z Route: Redemption, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.

Use our new squad planner to see how your ideal lineups look like not just with Nora. It also let you exclude heroes you haven’t built or mark heroes as not fully built and you can see how that changes your ideal lineup:
Nora’s Optimal Gear Setup(s)
Now we have to take a look at the gear setup, as it takes a lot of time and resources to craft higher rarity gear and not all gear is as impactful as the other one and you have to gear a couple of heroes in Z Route: Redemption. Also upgrading gear gets very expensive and you simply can’t just pump all your Alloy and Ore randomly on gear.

Nora’s Optimal Skill Upgrade Order
Upgrading skills is possible after you get Nora to 1-Star and then you will be able to upgrade each skill in 5-level increments. While the first skill levels are rather easy and cheap, it will start to eat quite a bit into your Skill Books and as you can’t produce them, you might end up with half-built heroes. So, here is the order you should work on the skills for Nora so you only spend the Skill Books where they actually provide good value.
