What is the best Nen type

[Chrono]

I dont technically believe this. But I do think its an interesting discussion. Anyways....

Most people commonly assess Specialisation as the best Nen type. Due to the unique Hatsu's you can form with specialisation. However if you look more closely.... then the clear answer on the best Nen type..... would be.....

Spoiler

Enhancement

Now I know what yall are gonna say. Enhancers have lame and uncreative hatsus, and most Enhancer's are stupid. But here me out....

1st point:- Enhancer's are the most balanced Nen type aside from Specialists.

In terms of proficiency in Nen...it goes:

1.) Enhancers

Having:

100% in Nen Type
80% in 2 Nen types
60% in 2 Nen types

2.) Emitters/Transmuters
3.) Transmuters/Emitters

100% in one Nen type
80% in 2 Nen types
60% in 1 Nen type
40% in 1 Nen type


4.) Conjurers/ Manipulators
5.) Manipulators/ Conjurers

100% in 1 Nen type
80% in 1 Nen type
60% in 2 Nen types
40% in 1 Nen types

Now actually in terms of proficiencies. Specialisation is actually better than Enhancement. However we'll get to why Enhancers is more better.


2nd point:- On top of having the most proficiency in other Nen types, they also have 100% in Enhancement. This highly valuable as it means their KO and Ken are better than other Nen types. An example of this is Gon's Janken....which is actually an advanced KO punch. By being an Enhancer Gon has the ability to charge his KO....and put as much aura into it as he likes. As opposed to other Nen types, who wouldnt have as much proficiency as that.

Now Specialists actually have 40% in Enhancement, and they are the only Nen type to have Enhancement that low. Which is dangerous as the defence will be the weakest of any Nen type.

3rd point:- The strongest people ever were all Enhancers ( Not counting Mereum since he is unknown):-

- Adult Gon and Prime Gon (if Gon actually grew with time). Gon wouldve been the strongest human and he is an Enhancer

- Netero.....was the strongest human. And is an Enhancer

- Maha Zoldyck, is actually hinted to be stronger than Prime Netero....and he was also an Enhancer

- Youpi, potentially strongest RG.


4th point:- Enhancer's are already confirmed having the best Offence and Defence in physical altercations. So adding to the fact that they also have highest apptitude when comes to proficiency of other Nen types. Really adds to the fact that they can have many dangerous Hatsus....if they of course have the aura pool for it.



So in conclusion. Whilst its arguable wheter Specialisation is better or not. Since when its comes to Proficiency theyre pretty much the same. However Enhancer's really dont need the proficiency in Specialisation....since specialisation is pretty much skills, in random unclassfied abilities. However the fact that Specialists lack such proficency in Enhancement....makes it highly dangerous for them in a fight.

Enhancer's may lack 100% proficiency in a hax Nen type. However they make up for it by being the most proficient others



I made this thread for fun....what do you guys think is the best Nen type ?

I'm in love with Transmuters. Specialists are overrated but when it comes to the "strongest" I think it's the safe bet to put your money on Enhancers.

Good post. Imo regarding nen types, I tend to consider them also from Hisoka point of view. We know every nen type has a different result wuth the water test (water becomes bitter, changes color, surges out of the glass etc.) but Hisoka also added his analysis aka that every nen type is linked to a type of personality.

Enhancers- Honest, Stubborn, Friendly (i.e. Gon)

• Emmitters- Hot-headed, Forgiving, Less moral than enhancers, funny (i.e. Leorio)

• Manipulators- Love to annoy, hold friends and family close (i.e. Shalnark)

•Specialists- popular with many, but none of them are close, honest, odd (i.e. Meruem)

•Conjurers- Stoic, logical, usually calm (i.e. Kite)

•Transmuters- not serious, funny or weird, often lie

(from a random site but Hisoka words should pretty much match these)

Said this, imo, each personality types gets the nen it fits it the most.
Guys like Gon will always try to have an honest victory without recurring to tricks and be as direct as possible -> enanchement is the best type for this kind of people. Let's say Gon can no longer use his flag move jan ken po (hope I write it pretty close XD) but can make Kurapika chains, he will not even be able to organize all thrle rules for it (afterall under many aspects Gon is the typical shounen hero personality wise, see Goku or Luffy, even if other times he conpletely surprises in positive, he is not a hero, his transformation was triggered by egoistic motives, there is a good youtube video by super eyepatch wolf, or a name similair to this lol, anyway I think you get the point).

Hisoka loves to play, lie, has no problem tricking his enemies but alao supposed pals all the time to get what he wants -> transmuter nen helps him a ton to so all this. Imagine an Hisoka without bungee gun amd fake texture but that can use enanched punches or something, it would suck for him. And so on like having Kurapika throw just enanched punches would be weitd as well etc.

Also if you have a weaker enanchement power you have weaker defenses and attack but direct defenses and attack. If you can play a match like Chrollo did with Hisoka you almost don't even need them (or there was the octopus friend of Killua who had the power to "become" a rifle to make another example), aka you can play a match from distance using nen. Be a ranged type instead of a melee. If we make a Chrollo vs Uvo most likely Chrollo will manage to never go even close to Uvo but attack from a safe distance.

Wow this is actually a good post. This actually makes sense.

When comparing an Enhancer like Netero to other Enhancers such as Gon, Uvogin and Phinks. It is obvious that their personality differs.

Gon, Uvogin and Phinks all suit the right personality for Enhancers. However Netero himself does not. This would then make him to strive to make a hatsu that uses other Nen types.

With bodhivissta mostly being a Manipulation Hatsu. Netero's personality itself does seem to align with the general personality of a Manipulator. Which is being logical and wanting to keep loved ones safe.

Another example is...Youpi being an Enhancer. However his personality mostly aligns with one of a Emitter. Then when looking at his main hatsu....which is the rage blast. That hatsu being a Emission Hatsu. It actually has some sense to the personality quiz.

Hisoka's personality quiz isnt about which Nen type you are. But which Nen type would suit you most.....


Off topic but that was very interesting.

Now imagine all of the pals who think that One Piece's power system is better than Nen.

What an interesting life.

 

[Chrono]

Hisoka's personality quiz may actually predict the main hatsu type. And not the actual nen type of the person.

Nen is simply amazing. Nothing comes close to it at all

 

[Dragomir]

Wait, what? Netero's an enhancer? This is a shocker for me lmao. Man's hatsu nor personality fit that at all.

I much prefer it to be that the personality quiz just predicts the nen type and not the hatsu. Or else, it'd be a bit confusing doing the deduction. "Hey, this guy's personality means his hatsu is mostly this but nen type can be something else!" Doesn't make much sense imo.

We also gotta remember that you can different hatsus outside of your nen type whenever you want. Castro for example was using conjurer and manipulator against Hisoka when he was an enhancer. If Hisoka was to quiz him then I'm sure the enhancer he'd receive would be simple and earnest, not stoic or argumentative. Still gonna lean on the personality test revealing the nen type as stated in the manga.

Same, the guy is a trickster, can trap opponents etc and sly. The simple fact that he liked Pariston and kept him as vice chairman can tell us a lot about him. I don't think Netero is the Enhancer type like Uvo or Gon

@Chrono I think I actually never asked you about this.

What is your favorite Nen ability in terms of creativeness?

Actually Hisoka guessed Gon but also Killua nen type using the personality trick (chapter 62), now maybe I am stretching it a bit since I am not even 100% sure it is actually said in the manga but I somewhat recall something like this: people never, or almost never, is just a 100% enancher, 100% transmuter and so on. They can also be, let's say, 85% enancher and 15% transmuter and so on (maybe it was an explanation from Biscuit in Greed island?). So even if 2 different people are both, let's say, enanchers, mainly, they can still have secondary nen tyoes and also the main and secondary nen type proportions can change (51% to 99% main and the secondary takes what is left). But to be honest I am not even sure about this (even less that there could be tertiary types and so on), anyway if I actually remember well thisbwould just make it incredibly complicated.

Netero kept Pariston because his personality was the one he was less compatible with, he wanted to have around that kind of guy to make things more interesting. Anyway yes, Netero personality for sure is not like Uvo or Gon (at least apparently).

My favourite Hatsu is JaJanken

The most creatively used and most versatile Hatsu in my opinion is Bungee Gum

And the most creatively made Hatsu is probably Hakoware Bankruptcy. But im not a fan of this Hatsu.

Hisoka's personality quiz has been wrong many times before....

- Netero, Wing, Maha, Bill, Palm, Nobunaga dont fit being Enhancers

- Matchi and Zeno dont fit being Transmuters

- Melody, Franklin and Razor dont fit being Emitters

- Genthru, Cheetu and Welfin dont fit being Conjurers

- Zushi doesnt fit being a Manipulator

- Neon and Meloreon dont fit being Specialists



I mean I also could be wrong since most people would pick a hatsu in their own category, since they dont have enough of a aura pool or nen mastery to pick a Hatsu in another type.

However when looking at nen masters or aura monsters such as Netero, Youpi, Pitou, who dont fit the Nen type their in. They would seek hatsus from other nen types that is compatible with their own personality.

Such Netero and Pitou using Manipulation Hatsus. Whilst Youpi uses Emission hatsus.

I mean look at another Nen master like Bisky. She is a Transmuter....and she does fit being a Transmuter. However she is also highly logical like a Manipulator as well.

And thats why her Hatsu uses both Manipulation and Transmutation. She has high A.A.P and she is Master thus that allows her to easily use multiple Nen types...which corresponded with her personslity.


OT: Weve already been majorily off-topic lol.

Well, that's to be expected. It's just a quiz after all and iirc, Hisoka said it himself that it wasn't 100% accurate, but more akin to a blood type personality test. At the end of the day tho, I'ma go with what the author intended it to be: a test for the readers/viewers to figure out a character's nen type when there isn't any explicit information.
