Best way to build agility/ dodge Nahobino from new essences?
Basically trying to make the most use of the 3 new essences. They give you a bunch of new moves to try but you only have so many skill slots and it's harder than Aogami essences to experiment with builds, given the hefty price to buy back the essences (as opposed to Aogami which are free and respawn).
There are moves that look really cool like Paraselene blur, but requires having dodged in the turn before (and it doesn't pierce, so if they have light resistances you're out of luck). Lunar Hurricane seems pretty good, and from what I've tried on enemies seems to outdamage Wrath Tempest, but I haven't tried it on bosses or enemies with high agility (plus needs to be set up with Impale Animus if they have resistance).
Then there's actually taking advantage of dodging, which most SMT V players know rarely happens (that's why high AGI builds were never that popular until now). When not using Luminescent Mirage (which uses a lot of MP), I'm guessing you need to set up MC as a tank and attract aggro so you get more dodge chances? And that requires Fierce Roar plus either buffing your accuracy or debuffing the enemies? I'm guessing if you don't want to take up a Fierce Roar slot then the only other option is using Onyankopon, who seems to be the only demon that can draw aggro to someone else.

This is my current build:
Paraselene Blur+9
Luminescent Mirage+5
Evergreen Dance+5
Lunation Flux+5
Intercalation
High Light Pleroma
Light Pleroma
Enduring Soul

Affinity: Alilat, basically all neutral affinity but resist to Dark and Light. With bunch of resistance to 3 Ailments and block 3 Ailments (ngl, i feel like i am the boss in the game)

i never tried Lunar Hurricane (LH) because its max hit is 9, and your agility vs enemy agility determine it, i am in Godborn now, so if i am facing enemy that has 333 agi or lower LH will always hit 9 hit (assuming Nahobina has 999 agi), however let's say i face a boss with 555 agility it will be: 999/555=1,8 x 3 = 5,4 or max 5 hit from LH againts a boss with 555 agi (minimum hit of LH is 3), so sorry all LH fans this skill bad for me

to attract enemy's attack to Naho, YUP you can use Onyankopon's King of Tales, you can choose which ally to get this buff including Nahobino, however i must extra careful since i use Alilat's affinity so i need to use King of Tales in the right moment (yea i almost get game over once because i overconfident using King of Tales, now i am extra careful)

Lunation Flux is your fix for your Mirascent Mirage MP high cost, i have 999 MP with +5 on healing skill so everytime i use Lunation Flux my naho will recover 24MP - 5MP from flux cost = 19MP w/o consuming a press turn

i was using Demi-fiend's affinity, but blocking most attack is a no for me, so i am falling in love with Alilat's affinity

ohh right, for boss that null/drain/repel light, i have Impaler's Glory from Mada, so i don't wasting a slot for Impaler's Animus, Glory is much powerful, that's why i am keeping evergreen dance so my magatshusi bar refill faster, because i love using Glory + Oma: Savage from beelze, or you can replace it with oma: charge from Zeus if you want but i prefer Savage most of the time
